Chapter 955: Chapter 965: Silencing Witnesses (Part 2)
"Wells, you’re overthinking!" Avril sighed.
She truly meant it when she said she’s not fighting for the heir’s position!
That position is just too exhausting!
And as a woman, she really doesn’t have the energy or stamina to take on such an important role, most importantly, she’s genuinely not interested.
Looking at Wells now, it’s clear he thinks she says one thing but means another.
How to explain?
Do you have to open your heart to see?
Even if you do, can you really understand?
"I don’t think I’m suitable, and people in the family won’t think I’m suitable either!" she continued, "Things aren’t like before, don’t be fooled by how glorious our family looks now!"
"But I think many people are complacent, like parasites!"
"This is precisely a sign of a family transitioning from prosperity to decline!"
"So I’m not up for it, it must be someone ready to take the action as an heir!"
"And you, I think are the most suitable, I will recommend you!"
Wells, upon hearing this, burst into laughter, "You almost made me believe that!"
"As expected of my good sister, no wonder everyone in the family adores you, truly resourceful!"
"Trying to delude me, you’re just too naive!"
Avril, "..."
It seems that no matter how she explains, Wells won’t believe her.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became tense.
William moved half a step forward, though he didn’t think Wells would harm Avril, he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off when he looked at Hao Si and Jiel.
After all, if it was just a discussion, why would Wells bring so many strong people?
What’s the point?
But no matter what, his only goal was to ensure Avril’s safety.
Dili Bare and Xie Ziqi didn’t know what to say, do these siblings really not consider them outsiders!
Shouldn’t such conversations be a behind-closed-doors affair?
Do these seemingly smart and shrewd siblings actually not care about what they hear, or do they simply not consider it a big deal?
The latter seems more likely!
After all, just one look at the siblings and you can tell they’re of no ordinary lineage.
So in their eyes, they must really seem insignificant.
As for other possibilities, like killing them to keep secrets, they didn’t think of that either.
"So, you brought these people to silence us?" Lin Xi who had been ignored suddenly spoke up, addressing Wells with this statement.
Of course, he didn’t say this lightly.
Seeing Wells bring so many people, and say those things in front of so many people.
And he seemed to be a very formidable character.
How could someone like him make such a big mistake?
So, he must not have intended for anyone in this room to walk out.
Moreover, Lin Xi previously sensed that even if someone fired a gun in this room, no one outside would hear.
Besides, didn’t Wells mention that the restaurant was virtually his domain?
So, it’s obvious he’s here to silence us.
As soon as Lin Xi said this, the whole room went quiet, and the atmosphere turned a bit strange.
Because some things, as long as they remain unspoken, might not happen.
But once you acknowledge them, they’re more likely to occur.
Avril glared fiercely at Lin Xi, then looked at Wells, whose slight smile had emerged, and said, "My friend is talking nonsense, don’t mind him!"
"Wells, can you finally tell us what you really want to do now?"
Wells didn’t answer her, but tapped the table twice.
With his tap, except for Hao Si and Jiel who remained still, everyone else swiftly drew a gun from their waist, with more than half of the guns aimed at William.
The others only held theirs as a precaution.
William’s face suddenly turned a bit grim.
At such close range, he had no time or ability to dodge that many guns.
If he got shot, not only could he not protect Avril, but his own life would be in great jeopardy.
"Wells, what are you doing?" Avril stood up in anger from the table, pointing at Wells’s nose, "We are family!"
"The family has rules, internal strife won’t be tolerated!"
"Are you planning to break the rules?"
"So stop joking, have them put their guns away!"
Wells shook his head, replying to Avril, "That young brother wasn’t wrong, I am here to silence you!"
"As for the no internal strife rule, I know it even without you reminding me, but if I kill you, who will know?"
"So don’t blame your brother for being ruthless, it’s just that you’ve become an obstacle in my path, forcing me to make this decision!"
Avril panicked, knowing once Wells made up his mind, he wouldn’t change it.
She looked at Hao Si and Jiel behind Wells, "Marquises, you’ve lived for so many years, surely you know that no wall is without a crack!"
"Once the family finds out, you won’t escape the consequences!"
She then pointed at the group behind them, "You’re the same, once the family finds out, none of you will escape either!"
However, she felt despair as none of them seemed moved by her words.
Secretly admiring Wells’s ruthlessness but hating that it was directed at her!
Is she really that much of a threat?
Why didn’t she know???
"My dear sister, stop trying to persuade me!" Wells said with a smug look, "As long as you’re dead today, there’s no one capable enough to compete with me, and the heir’s position will certainly be mine!"
"As for Hao Si and Jiel, I’ve assured them there won’t be any trouble!"
"Even if it’s discovered later, so what!"
"It’s not like I’m unaware of the family’s rules, but once you’re dead, nothing matters, will the family dare to punish my people?"
Avril, "..."
Indeed, it was just as he said, even if the family had rules, once she’s dead and Wells is pivotal in leading the family to prosperity, they wouldn’t dare go too far.
He was holding this certainty when he dared to strike!
"This is bad!" For the second time in her life, she felt a bit of despair, the first time was in the Huaxia Secret Realm when Lin Xi was severely injured.
If guns weren’t involved, she wouldn’t be afraid.
After all, with Lin Xi here, these people wouldn’t stand a chance against him, he was an Innate after all.
But, the people Wells brought were all armed.
As Huaxia’s saying goes, no matter how good your martial arts are, you still fear a knife!
"But there is one opportunity, although a small one!" she noticed no one had aimed their guns at Lin Xi, Dili Bare, or Xie Ziqi.
Perhaps Wells and his men didn’t consider the three of them a threat.
In their eyes, William was surely the biggest threat!
"If Lin Xi could launch a surprise attack on Wells, they might have a chance to escape!"
Just as she was thinking of signaling Lin Xi, she saw him stand up and point at Wells, saying, "Kid, stop scaring people with guns!"
"Would you dare fire?"
