Chapter 905

After Gregory and Dan sat down, someone served tea.

Only after the tea was served did they respectfully retreat.

Dan was the first to pick up the cup, in which he then said to Gregory, "Boss Graham, long time no see."

Gregory narrowed his eyes as his body leaned languidly on the chair. He too raised his cup and tilted it slightly towards Dan before he said, "Mr.

Thinple, you hid well. I thought you died in that fire four years ago, but here you are, still alive."

Dan laughed out loud. "It's fortunate that the heavens have shown mercy and allowed me to live on. Otherwise, how can I sit down with Boss Graham again today and have tea?"

Gregory's eyes were cold.

He said impatiently, "Cut the crap. Where’s Vick? For this peace talk to go on, you need to hand her over! Or else..."

Dan also narrowed his eyes and put down his cup.

"Or else what?"

Suddenly, the air froze.

The atmosphere was tense, like an arrow taut on a bow that was about to release.

Just like that, both of them stopped talking, and the escorts standing behind them secretly placed their hand on the bulge at their waist. They were waiting for their master to give the order so they could immediately take action to restrain the other party.

However, Dan laughed again suddenly.

That laughter, it was as if a long sword had sliced through the tension in the air.

He said with a smile, "I really didn't think that Boss Graham was still such a love-struck bastard. I thought that the relationship between you guys had been broken since the day you threw her into prison four years ago?"

Dan refilled his cup with tea and continued, "So you still hold her very dearly in your heart. It seems like we have been negligent all these years, deceived by you, that we kept her alive in prison for so long."

When he said the last sentence, his eyes suddenly grew fierce.

Gregory's face turned grim too and his dark eyes were as cold as two blocks of ice.

He said resolutely, "You’re not capable enough."

Dan raised his eyebrows.

As if he had thought of something, he laughed meaninglessly.

"You're right. With you guarding by her side, who can touch her?"

He paused, then said quietly, "I've already told you her whereabouts. We don't have her.

"If you don't believe me, you can do a massive search of all the Chinese Association’s territories to see if I'm lying to you.

"Then again, I admit that I did want to capture her, but I wanted her dead. Having her alive was useless to me, and even if I wanted to capture her back then, it was only because I saw your love for her and wanted to use her as a bargaining chip to threaten you.

"And now, look, we've both fought till this point. Does it make sense for me to hold onto her if she's really in my hands?"

As he said this, he held out his hands with his palms facing upward.

Gregory replied dourly, "But she was taken away by your people."

Dan nodded. "I admit that. But the person who took her away was Lucius. He and I aren't in charge of the same unit, so I really don't know anything about her whereabouts."

Previously, Gregory had also found out that the man who was in that villa before was Lucius and his subordinate, Shay.

Thus, Dan was not lying to him about this.

However, since he was already there, how could he be willing to let it go so easily?

Gregory asked again, "What about Lucius and Shay? Where are they?"

"Dead."

This time, Dan said it without lifting his head.

Gregory was slightly stunned.

This was not what he had expected.

His face fell and his brow furrowed. "How did they die?"

"Killed by someone with a knife," said Dan, with his eyes dull and no emotion could be seen on his face.

He continued in a faint voice, "Not with an ordinary dagger, but a very rare ancient knife. You may find it hard to believe that with so many weapons today, there are still people who’d use a knife from hundreds of years ago. What I said is true though, they all died on the night Vickie disappeared.

Their party of six were all exterminated."

At this point, his brows furrowed and he did not look too good.

"To be honest, Gregory, I know you don't want to make peace with us not only because of Vickie but also because of our grudge four years ago.

"I'm sure you've already found out. Yes, we were indeed traitors sent by the Chinese Association to lurk in the Vermilion Bird Organization a long time ago, but I didn't expect that we’d end up climbing to such a high position.

"And yes, the war between the Vermilion Bird Organization and the Dragon Regiment was caused by me. I know how much you hate and want to kill me.

"So for you to come and make peace with me today must’ve been very hard on you, and the same goes for me as well.

"I wouldn't want to sit here with you if there was another way out, but the truth of the matter is that we both have nowhere to go."

He held out his hand as he said this and the man behind him immediately handed over a tablet.

Dan turned on the tablet, tapped on the screen a few times, and passed it to Gregory.

"As you can see, this is the attack and losses that the Chinese Association has suffered in business during this time. Besides you and the Leith family, we found out that there’s another unknown force attacking us.

"They're well-funded to an almost frightening extent, and they're so menacing that it's no longer something we can resist. If it were the Chinese Association in the past, it might still be possible to compete with them, but now that we've been attacked from both sides, it would be easy for them to take advantage of this moment to swallow us whole."

Gregory took his eyes off that screen and looked at him coldly.

"Why are you telling me this? Don't you know that I'd like to see all of you finished sooner?"

Spoiled by the President Chapter 904 All The Best Wrong Ride, Right Lover Chapter 1980 Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around!

Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 Dan stalled.

Perhaps he was not used to the other party’s direct speaking manner, but he quickly adjusted.

Once he put away the tablet, handing it over to his subordinates behind him, he said in a solemn voice, "Yes, I know you hate us, and I also know that you’d be delighted if we were finished. But have you ever thought about it? Such a mysterious and powerful force, what’s the reason behind picking this moment to make a move? What’s their ultimate goal?"

Gregory did not speak.

Dan continued, "You should’ve heard of interdependency right? Although we’re enemies, we can be allies from another perspective.

"These people, just from what they’re doing right now, you can see that they’re, by no means, just plotting against our small Chinese Association.

There’s much, much more that they want.

"I admit that it's indeed very difficult for us right now, and maybe if we continue to fight as we are now, we'd be finished before long."
