Chapter 881 The Last Mission: The Devil's Wrath
Day Ninety-Two...
At Butler Li's House
Vincent received a message from his Uncle Li, asking to meet him in person. Since Monica was occupied with something, he went to see his uncle alone.
He was familiar with this old place. When his mother died, he stayed at his young uncle's house. Butler Li took care of him.
He felt nostalgic after returning to this place.
"Uncle Li, where are you?" Vincent called him out as he entered the house. There was no one around.
He frowned, puzzled at the deafening silence inside the house.
"Is he here?" He mumbled, taking his phone to dial Butler Li's number.
The number was now unattended.
"What's wrong with him?" he stared at his phone in disbelief. "Did something happen?"
Vincent was still trying to figure out what happened to Butler Li when someone showed up at the entrance door.
"Vincent." The voice of a middle-aged man was heard.
He turned around only to be greeted by the last person he wanted to see– Old Man Xu.
'Damn it! What is he doing here?' He cursed inwardly as he looked at his father with eyes filled with hostility.
"Where is my Uncle? What did you do to him?" Vincent asked him through his gritted teeth.
Old Man Xu had complicated emotions on his face. This was the son he abandoned and didn't acknowledge in the past.
"My son..." Old Man Xu uttered, striding toward him.
Vincent narrowed his eyes upon hearing that. He chuckled sarcastically and said, "My son? Don't be a hypocrite. You never consider me as part of your family." He mocked him.
"Why are you here? What do you want from me?"
Old Man Xu slowly stood up as he tried to approach Vincent.
"Stop. Don't come near me or else, I'll kill you," He warned him.
"Listen to me, son. This is your last chance. Your brother sent me here to talk to you. If you defy him... he will no longer be merciful."
"You've heard about the attack on your branches. It was Nathan's warning. Set aside your pride—this is a matter of life and death for you and your men."
"I said. I'm not afraid. I want to finish what I've started. No one can stop me. Not even you." Vincent declared firmly.
"Vincent... Listen to us! Stop this madness." Butler Li's voice was heard from behind. He finally showed up.
"Uncle Li? What's the meaning of this?" Vincent questioned him, feeling betrayed.
"Are you being blackmailed by them?"
But Butler Li shook his head. "Nathan already knew that I'm your accomplice. Your spy. But he spared me. Let's stop this revenge, Vincent."
Vincent let out another humorless laugh. "I can't believe this. They've even influenced your decision now. Are you abandoning me as well? Have you grown fond of Nathan and his family?"
Butler Li was not able to respond. He didn't want to admit it but it was true. He became attached to Nathan after serving him for years.
Butler Li's silence hurt Vincent further. He felt betrayed. He was the only family he had left. And he still chose to side with Nathan.
"I'm doing this for your sake, Vincent. Nathan had already mobilized his men to hunt down every member of the King Stallion Mafia. He learned the truth now. And you offended him."
"He ordered a complete annihilation. We are here to convince you to save yourself by surrendering to your brother!"
Vincent was stunned by hearing that. Were they telling the truth? He immediately dialed Phoenix's number to find out what was happening to their men.
A few minutes later, shock spread across Vincent's face as he dropped his phone to the floor.
'No! This couldn't be happening! It's impossible!'
Continue your journey with empire
Before, Nathan had tried to annihilate the Phantom Assassin Guild, but in this timeline, he targeted the King Stallion Mafia instead. They would soon face Nathan's wrath for what Vincent had done to Jane.
