Chapter 207 - Plan To Trap Him (Six)
That evening, disguised as someone else, Vincent went to the Shen Tower with Rodney. He knew Hailey was still in the office and had meetings with her business partners and branch office executives.
So then, while the girls were busy, it was the best opportunity for the knights to gather and discuss their agendas regarding the trap they set for Liam Huo.
And this time, someone is joining them. The knights fell silent when they recognized the last man who entered the Security Room. He was wearing a hat and a beard under his nose, and everyone tried hard not to laugh.
A while back, Rodney was already mockingly laughing hard at his cousin. In which was his idea of what disguise Vincent should wear.
"Keep laughing, and I will charge you the full price of your yacht."
Vincent threatens him with eyes glinting in evilness, so now he has to seal his mouth shut. However, Rodney sometimes purses his lips into a grin, and then he quickly wipes it out before Vincent catches him.
He's a monster, honestly, especially now that he is saving a lot of money; he wants to audit every penny that goes to his bank. So now he's using his yacht to threaten him. His cousin is actually cruel!
When does Vincent worry about money? He is always generous toward his family and relatives. But now, he is suddenly meticulous in his expenditure!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRodney heaves a sigh, thinking about that. He shrugs any unnecessary thought before it will depress him one day.
"Hey, everyone! We're here!" he greeted the men seated around the long table.
"Hey, Rodney!" Pitt waves at them.
Following Rodney behind, his eyes swept to the entire room. Vincent closes the door and leans on it. He scanned the faces of the men that were said to be Hailey's knights.
Until now, he could not believe that Keith Cole was one of Hailey's knights. And to his surprise, Hansen Park, CEO of Park Electronics, is also here.
Park Electronics is Lopez Tech co-partnered in developing the latest gadgets for P Country. However, they never meet the CEO but the Park Electronics representatives. On several occasions, either the annual celebration of their partnership or invited him to Lopez's big parties, he often turned them down. Instead, he would only send an executive representative.
But when Hailey was in danger, the CEO suddenly appeared in Metro City, and that is a big WOW under his breath. So now, whose other CEO would shock him he is Hailey's knight?
He's already surprised to learn that Brent Morris is not only Carl's friend and a mafia lord, but he is also Hailey's knight! So can it be that all the Davies Group executives are Hailey's knights?
Wait! Vincent paused from contemplating when he recognized another CEO among Hailey's knights. It was Maynard Chan! CEO of Chan Logistics!
Vincent reached for his forehead. Everyone around her is not just ordinary bodyguards you can hire anywhere or anytime. They were multimillionaire bachelors in the business world!
No wonder Liam Huo felt threatened. These men are not just your average neighbor next door. He began having the urge to kidnap Hailey and bring her somewhere these men cannot follow her.
But he will compromise the entrapment they were carefully preparing if he does that. Besides, Liam Huo will continue to trouble them if they do not put him behind bars. If only he could exile him from civilization.
Ah! Why does he think that he is a powerful king who has the power to throw someone into a black hole and transmigrate a person into another galaxy?
This doesn't seem right. He is thinking about fantasy. He must be stressed thinking over a lot of things lately. How funny for him to imagine these things.
It looks like it is resulting from his jealousy, thinking that countless men are surrounding Hailey. If it happens in ancient times and he is the king. He has a feeling that he would order for these men to be executed.
Can it be Liam Huo feeling the same way? It made him think of his grandmother's bedtime story. It was a story passed down by the Shen elders, and he will also pass it down to his children in the near future.
And the story goes like this…
A long time ago, in the Ancient Continent. There are three neighboring kingdoms, which were never defeated in any battles. But there is a difference between these three kingdoms. One has only had a princess as an heir. So the king is looking for a suitable husband for the princess and then inherits the throne.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen the princess comes of age, the King invites the neighboring kingdoms for a fair and friendly fight. Whoever wins will have the princess and the kingdom as a reward.
Instantly, the neighboring kingdom sent their princes' to win over the princess's heart. Not only that, even those kingdoms far across the continent joined the tournament. And among these suitors is the Good Prince and the Ruthless Prince of the neighbor kingdom.
When it reaches the last round, these two princes in the neighboring kingdom are left to compete for the princess's hand. However, the princess already knew who she wanted to marry.
But they must follow the rules. The winner would be the last man standing in the Arena, in which the Ruthless Prince is full of tricks. However, the Good Prince has no plan to lose the battle.
Now Vincent is back in reality. He couldn't help thinking about why the story seems familiar to him and the occurrences in the present time.
The story does leave a mysterious impression. What he knew is this story written by his Shen ancestors from Ancient Continents. And if ever it occurs in the past. They are now living in modern times where the winner is determined by power and money. And to defeat your enemy, you need to plan it out well.
On the one hand, while Liam Huo uses violence, he knows how to win over Hailey's heart. And that is to offer his pure love, and that is what he is doing.
Although he honestly gets jealous every time he thinks that there are numerous men involved in her, he must accept that these men were her childhood friends.
They were already protecting her, even before he meets Hailey. Besides, they have the same goal…
Not to win the Princess's hand for marriage... but together to protect her against a Ruthless Prince.
