I am the King

Chapter 74

With the death of Osborn, the overlord of Z City, and the fall of eighteen gang leaders along with five thousand gang members, no one was left standing.

At the Hilton Hotel in Z City, Simona and her entourage were filled with panic after learning of Osborn's demise.

"My lady, now that Osborn is dead and the entire Z City gang network has been destroyed, staying here is extremely dangerous. We must leave immediately," Mr. Black advised.

Simona, with pale face, said through clenched teeth. "I camehere hoping to use Osborn's power to control the gangs in several nearby cities. I never expected Osborn to die so suddenly, and it's all because of Vincent!"

Mr. Black sighed. "My lady, there's no use in talking about this now. We have to leave right away!"

Simona knew Mr. Black was right. With Osborn dead, staying here was pointless. She needed to return to England and report everything that had happened to the family elders. Osborn's death was a huge loss for the Joseph family.

Suddenly, the door to the hotel room was kicked open.

Vincent walked in with Galahad, smirking. "Leaving now? Isn't it too late?"

Simona's face turned ashen when she saw Vincent.

"My lady, run! I'll hold him off!" Mr. Black shouted, charging at Vincent.

Vincent's hand shot out like lightning, gripping Mr. Black's neck. "You think you can stop me? How foolish."

Mr. Black's legs kicked frantically as his face turned red.

Simona didn't run. She knew she couldn't escape. Taking a deep breath, she asked, "Vincent, what do you want?"

Vincent sneered. "It's not about what I want. It's about your Joseph family overreaching. I need to teach you a lesson."

With a slight pressure from his fingers, Vincent snapped Mr. Black's neck.

He then tossed Mr. Black aside like garbage. Mr. Black's eyes remained wide open, dead with grievance.

Simona stared at Vincent in disbelief. "You killed Mr. Black?"

Mr. Black, her bodyguard assigned by the Joseph family, had been so easily killed by Vincent. Her eyes burned with hatred as she looked at him.

Ignoring her hatred, Vincent's expression remained calm. "This is just a warning to the Joseph family. Go back to England and tell your elders that Z City and M City are my territories. You can't come and go as you please. If you dare to come again, it won't just be a few lackeys you'll lose."

After saying this, Vincent turned and left with Galahad. Watching Vincent's retreating figure, Simona trembled with rage. No one had ever dared to threaten her like this.

"Vincent, just you wait! The Joseph family won't let this go!" Simona snarled through gritted teeth.

Wasting no time, she booked a flight and head back to England from Z City.

Outside the hotel, Galahad asked curiously, "My lord, why didn't you kill Simona?"

Vincent chuckled softly. "What's the point of killing her? Letting her return to England ensures she'll seek revenge, giving me a legitimate reason to destroy the entire Joseph family."

Galahad nodded in understanding. "My lord, should we have the Round Table take action directly?"

Vincent shook his head. Destroying the Joseph family was as easy as crushing an ant. However, his target was not just the Joseph family but the entire network behind them. He wanted to uncover who was truly targeting the Round Table. Vincent needed to eliminate both Osborn's gang and their backers to remove all threats to the Round Table.

After eliminating Osborn and his allies, V&E Group quickly established a strong foothold in Z City. No one dared to challenge them. Over time, V&E Group completely took control of the Z City branch.

Emma prepared to return to M City, the true headquarters of V&E Group. She warned Porter, "Porter, once I leave, you will be the acting president of the Z City branch. Remember, do not betray V&E Group."

Porter nodded seriously. "President Joseph, I understand. Don't worry, I will follow your instructions."

Porter had no intention of betrayal; he was fully committed to V&E Group.

Emma nodded in satisfaction. "Good. In that case, we'll be on our way."

Amidst the roar of car engines, Vincent, Emma, and their team left.

In the car, Vincent asked, "Honey, now that V&E Group has firmly established itself in Z City, what's your next move?"

Emma shook her head. "I'm not sure. I'll discuss it with Dad when we get back, and then we'll hold a meeting to determine the company's next strategy." Vincent smiled. "Remember to include me next time. I feel that helping you run the company is more dangerous than going to war."

Emma leaned against Vincent's shoulder with a gentle expression. With Vincent by her side, she feared nothing.

Suddenly, Emma asked, "By the way, Hope's birthday is coming up. Are you ready?"

Vincent smiled. "Don't worry, I've already got everything planned."

They were hurrying back to M City to ensure Hope had an unforgettable sixth birthday.

Meanwhile, outside the Cloudtop Villa area in M City.

A man dressed in white appeared.

He looked up towards the top of the hill with a cold expression and muttered to himself, "Maxwell, to be your enemy is to be the enemy of the Dark Shadow. I will avenge you."
