King of Slaughter

Chapter 2: Impressive and Overwhelming

The weather in December was already freezing outside.

In the banquet hall, those young ladies from prominent families and socialites were dressed seductively, regretting that their thin clothes are covering up their beauty.

Because today was the day of alliance between the five major families, everyone present today was a prominent figure in Oceanus City. Almost all the important people had received an invitation from Phoebe Wilcox.

A week ago, the Oceanus City government issued a permit to demolish all the old residential buildings in the eastern district to make way for a new city district.

That area is nearly tens of thousands of Acre in size. It is for this reason that the five major families have chosen to form an alliance and plan to collaborate in swallowing up this piece of fertile land.

"Today is a good day for the alliance of our five major families. First, on behalf of the five major families, I would like to thank everyone for their presence and sincerely thank the five major families for recommending me to plan this banquet."

Phoebe Wilcox smiled and stood in the center of the stage under the spotlight, her figure and temperament were both very charming.

Although she was not that stunning, she had outstanding looks.

After a few sentences, applause immediately erupted from the audience.

Clap!

Clap!

Clap!

Suddenly, the main lights in the hall turned on one by one, bright incandescent lights directly illuminating the hall as if it were daylight.

"What's going on?"

"Damn, it's too glaring!"

"Lighting technician, what's happening?"

The atmosphere that was just created was instantly ruined. The intense light caused everyone to instinctively squint their eyes, and even Phoebe Wilcox furrowed her brows and shadows appeared in her eyes.

Dang!

Dang!

Dang!

The rhythmic sound of footsteps immediately grabbed everyone's attention.

Maverick Steele walked into the hall with heavy steps, leading Mary Stewart in his right hand.

"Who is this person?"

"I don't know, but he's leading the daughter of Julieta Stewart..."

"Damn, is this guy crazy? How dare he bring Stewart's illegitimate child to attend the banquet?"

The crowd began to discuss. The only reason why the Stewart Family's successor still existed was because Phoebe Wilcox wanted to silence any rumors. Otherwise, with the ruthlessness of the five major families, they would have long eradicated them from the root.

It was precisely because Phoebe Wilcox had control over the Stewart Family's only successor that they were able to survive until now.

After the collapse of the Stewart Family, there were many oddities. If it weren't for Phoebe Wilcox stealing Stewart's secrets and deceiving Julieta Stewart into spending a huge amount of money to buy five families' companies used to betray him, the Stewart Family's tens of billions in assets wouldn't have been completely divided within a few months?

Especially after the collapse of the Stewart Family, their industries were instantly divided among the five major families. Anyone with clear eyes could see that the collapse of the Stewart Family was due to the interference of the five major families.

Phoebe Wilcox stood in the center of the stage without moving, coldly asking, "Who are you? And why is Julieta Stewart's daughter in your hands?"

Mary Stewart caught Phoebe Wilcox's gaze and instinctively hid behind Maverick Steele.

Three years ago, Mary Stewart's mother died in a car accident. Afterwards, Julieta Stewart found a new lover, who was Phoebe Wilcox.

At first, Phoebe Wilcox took care of Mary Stewart in every possible way, but only on the day of the Stewart Family's collapse did she reveal her true face.

"Not only Julieta Stewart's daughter, I will also help Julieta Stewart retrieve the Stewart Family's assets." Maverick Steele stopped walking, standing like a towering mountain on the ground.

"Wow!" Once these words were spoken, everyone immediately began to discuss. Even Phoebe Wilcox couldn't help but furrow her brows.

To avoid trouble, "Stewart Family" had long become a taboo term in front of the five major families.

"Who is this person? How dare he openly confront Phoebe Wilcox?"

"Not only that, I think he's challenging the five major families!"

"Although the Stewart Family's collapse is suspicious, can an ordinary person like him really touch the power of the five major families? If I'm not mistaken, he will be dead on the streets tonight!"

"Heh, killing and arson are common, even Julieta Stewart jumped off a building. What can this unknown young man do?"

Before Phoebe Wilcox could speak, everyone had already sentenced Maverick Steele to death.

"Uncle, let's go..." Mary Stewart cautiously pulled on Maverick Steele's sleeve, her little face filled with worry.

"Want to leave? Leave behind the Stewart Family's illegitimate child first." On the guest table, a young man in a white suit stood up coldly.

When he stood up, the crowd in the guest seats stirred again.

It turned out to be Rebecca Moore, the young master of the Moore family.

The Moore, Davis, Miller, Anderson, Wilcox family were now the five most powerful families in Oceanus City, especially after the alliance today, their power was unmatched.

With Rebecca Moore's rise, everyone in their hearts once again sentenced Maverick Steele to death.

Rebecca Moore snapped his fingers, and suddenly, seven or eight security guards holding batons rushed forward.

"Drag him out and cripple him."

The seven or eight security guards glanced at each other, tightly holding the batons, and fiercely rushed forward together.

Seeing this lineup, the guests hurriedly stepped back a few steps, afraid of being implicated.

Rebecca Moore's mouth curled up, as if he could already see Maverick Steele being beaten and lying on the ground in a miserable state.

"Just ants." Maverick Steele snorted lightly, standing still in place, but his big hands waved like an illusion.

With just his physical strength, Maverick Steele could unleash a force of a thousand pounds. The gust of wind produced from his palm had a force of a hundred pounds. Those security guards didn't even touch his clothes before being blown away by a strong gust of wind.

Bang! Bang! Crash!

The seven or eight people were instantly thrown away, falling heavily to the ground, constantly screaming and coughing up blood.

Rebecca Moore's face turned pale. These security guards were all experts who could fight one against three, yet they were easily defeated by the other party with a wave of his hand.

"Daring to be my enemy, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave alive." Rebecca Moore's expression became serious, gritting his teeth, he asked, "Who are you in the end?""He is Julieta Stewart's sworn brother, Maverick Steele," a former member of the Stewart Family who had already betrayed them shouted loudly from the guest seat. This person used to be the Stewart Family's right-hand man. Now, he is nothing but Phoebe Wilcox's pet dog.

Maverick Steele? Phoebe Wilcox's mind raced, this name had been mentioned by Julieta Stewart countless times, and Phoebe Wilcox had also seen photos of Maverick Steele and Julieta Stewart together.

"No wonder, I felt so familiar when I saw him just now, saving that bastard from the Stewart Family."

"Just, according to that useless Julieta Stewart, he has a close friendship with someone in the military, but I wonder what position Maverick Steele holds now?"

Maverick Steele flicked the dust off his sleeve and finally spoke, "The Moore family has also benefited greatly from the Stewart Family's assets. Those who have benefited, return the entire sum to the ancestral home of Stewart Family within five days and kneel in confession in front of Julieta's grave. Only this way can we avoid implicating the women, children, and elderly of our families!"

What?

Rebecca Moore couldn't help but laugh directly, "You want us to kneel at the grave of that useless Julieta Stewart? And confess? Are you out of your damn mind? What if I don't go?"

You should know, the five major families already have absolute power in Oceanus City. Maverick Steele is just a person with a little bit of strength, how could he possibly contend against them?

In Rebecca Moore's eyes, if it wasn't for Maverick Steele suddenly appearing, he wouldn't even have the qualification to stand here.

Maverick Steele's face turned cold as he said, "If anyone doesn't go, I will m******e their entire family, leaving no one alive, including their chickens and dogs."
