In this area, the killing intent raged everywhere, adding a layer of intensity to this rainy night.
“Move out!”
With that order, the fully armed men all assembled and opened the car doors before getting in.
Philip and Theo also got in the car, and the engines came roaring.
Very soon, more than a dozen black MPVs carrying these people followed directly behind the Land Rover ahead. They drove out of the iron sheet factory and headed toward Fenix Hotel and Restaurant in Phoenicia!
The whole sky was dark and terrifying!
The wind rampaged the trees while the thunder rumbled as if the sky was about to collapse.
Under the heavy downpour, one car after another broke through the curtain of rain. They crashed past the puddles as they rushed toward their destination!
Fenix Hotel and Restaurant, Phoenicia. The storm was about to hit!
At the same time in the luxurious little yard somewhere in the Westside of South River District.
Crack!
A blast of thunder and a streak of lightning directly cut through the night sky, illuminating the entire small courtyard.
This was Cecil’s headquarters in the South River District.
It was also his place of residence.
At this moment, under such a heavy curtain of rain, the entire yard seemed stifling.
Cecil’s mansion was a typical Western-styled courtyard that was old-fashioned in appearance.
There were also gazebos and rockeries in the yard that looked expensive at first glance.
Suddenly, two figures holding black umbrellas rushed through the rain and quickly barged into the hall.
Thud!
The umbrella was thrown at the door without closing it first.
Two very anxious and drenched men stood at the entrance of the hall. They shouted at the butler across, “Is the madam asleep?”
The butler nodded and said, “She just fell asleep. Is there anything urgent?”
The two men exchanged a glance, made a decision, and said to the butler, “We have to trouble you to disturb the lady. Tell favonovel.com that something has happened at the turf.”
After the butler heard them, favonovel.com was silent for a moment before asking, “Is it urgent? You know that Madam has problems with migraines. Before favonovel.com left, Master Cecil told us not to hinder Madam’s rest if there’s nothing serious. If Madam gets angry, none of us can handle it.”
“It’s urgent! It’s an emergency!”
One of the drenched men looked very anxious as favonovel.com shouted, “If you’re afraid of trouble, I’ll go in myself!”
Having said that, the man was about to rush in.
The butler immediately stopped favonovel.com and said sternly, “Presumptuous! How dare you break into the madam’s bedroom? Wait here. I’ll report.”
The man nodded in a hurry and apologized. “I was reckless. Thank you. I hope you do this quickly!”
The butler gave favonovel.com a cold look, then turned around and went up to the second floor.
In the five minutes of waiting, the two subordinates of Cecil walked back and forth like cats on a hot tin roof.
“What happened at the turf for you to come see me so late?”
Suddenly, a solemn and majestic female voice sounded from up the stairs on the second floor.
When the two men looked up, they saw Lady Mae. She had an ugly expression on favonovel.com face as favonovel.com walked down with the help of the butler.
Cecil Dane’s wife, Fanny Mae, was also the lover of Bowen Roy—the man who used to be a strong figure in the South River District.
She was a cruel and ruthless woman.
Although favonovel.com was in favonovel.com 40s now, favonovel.com figure and skin were well-maintained. Her charm was still there.
Such women may be slightly older, but they were more charming.
Lady Mae, who was wearing a mink coat, walked to the white goose-down sofa and sat down. Her face was unpleasant.
Recently, favonovel.com migraines had started acting up again. She could not sleep at night and was restless during the day.
“Madam, something has happened. Several of our turfs have been seized!”
A man stepped forward, his expression flustered and uneasy.
Lady Mae held favonovel.com forehead as the maid behind favonovel.com rubbed favonovel.com temples. She said, “Which ones? Just get someone to take care of it. Didn’t Master Cecil tell you these things before favonovel.com left?”
There was a trace of anger in favonovel.com tone.
The man quickly said, “The foot spa, KTV, and billiards parlor in Westside as well as the nightclubs and pubs in Northam. Ten minutes ago, these nine venues were seized.”
As soon as the words fell, Lady Mae immediately pulled the hand of the maid away as anger flashed across favonovel.com face. She asked, “Why did this happen? Why were so many places seized? Those are the most profitable ones!”
The man was also helpless and said, “Madam, we don’t know the specific situation either. They were seized suddenly without any notice.”
Fanny shuddered. This situation was a little unusual.
Before leaving, Cecil had told favonovel.com to take care of the family.
Now, nine places were seized at once! What was the estimated loss?
At least tens of millions!
“I see. Let me contact Dave.”
Fanny did not delay a minute more and told the butler to bring the phone immediately.
