I am the King

Chapter 93

Tim stared at Blade and asked, "Why are you telling me all this?"

Through gritted teeth, Blade replied, "Vincent killed Master Osborn, and now he's crossed you. I want you to take him out, to avenge Master Osborn!"

"Huh," Tim chuckled coldly.

Blade clearly had ulterior motives. In the past, Tim might have hesitated, but Vincent had messed with him personally. If Vincent wasn't dealt with, Tim wouldn't know peace.

"Vincent has a mysterious background and complicated connections. Killing him won't be as simple as you think," Tim said, though he desired Vincent's demise as well. He understood that someone who could kill Osborn wasn't ordinary.

Blade was renowned, yet even he dared not confront Vincent directly and sought Tim's help instead. It could be judged that Vincent's power was undoubtedly terrifying. Rushing in without understanding his full capabilities would be unwise.

Osborn died due to his own carelessness. He hadn't fully grasped Vincent's strength before he led five thousand men to their deaths in an ambush.

Anticipating Tim's reluctance, Blade continued, "I have a plan to deal with Vincent."

"What plan?" Tim asked eagerly.

"Vincent not only killed Master Osborn but also offended Simona, the heiress of the Joseph family's headquarters in England. We can form an alliance with the England Joseph family to take down Vincent. With their strength, we can succeed."

Blade had prepared his strategy well before approaching Tim.

Knowing that the England Joseph family wouldn't easily listen to him alone, Blade saw the value in Tim's involvement. The Azure was the top gang in Nacehope City, a force even the England Joseph family couldn't ignore.

Tim smirked confidently, "Vincent has made quite a few enemies. Offending the England Joseph family seals his fate this time!" Turning to Mr. Grey beside him, he instructed, "Mr. Grey, please arrange a visit to England."

"Yes, Mr. Wright," Mr. Grey nodded.

Blade breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that with the combined strength of the Azure and the England Joseph family, Vincent was doomed this time.

***

At the England Joseph family, Simona said, "Dad, you gotta get payback for me! That Vincent not only killed Osborn and took away all our assets in Z City, but also killed Mr. Black. Worst of all, he even slapped me!"

After traveling all the way back to England, Simona immediately sought out her father, Chester Joseph, the current head of the England Joseph family.

Upon hearing his daughter had been mistreated, Chester became extremely angry and slammed his hand forcefully on the table. "Vincent has gone too far! Does he truly think our family is powerless?"

Chester wasn't angry about Mr. Black's death or Simona being slapped, nor even Osborn's murder. His fury stemmed from the fact that after Vincent killed Osborn, the Joseph family could no longer make money out of Z City.

For the past two decades, the Joseph family had solidified its position in England largely due to the resources many gang leaders like Osborn continuously funneled from Z City. With Osborn gone, the family had lost a key income source. If that continued, the Josephs were sure to decline.

In England, enemies are all around them. If the Joseph family weakened, other families would undoubtedly seize the rare opportunity to strike. It would spell doom for the Joseph family.

Seeing her father so enraged, Simona hastily asked, "Dad, when will you help me get revenge?"

Since Vincent slapped her, Simona harbored a deep-seated hatred for him. She had always been the darling of the family, a princess of the elite. She was so respected and revered. When had anyone dared to slap her? It was an immense humiliation!

Chester's expression fluctuated upon hearing Simona's question.

The fact that Vincent could kill Osborn and Mr. Black marked him as no ordinary man. Osborn and Mr. Black were both formidable figures, rarely matched in skill. Particularly Osborn, Chester had long known he had accepted professional training yet concealed his true abilities.

Previously, Chester turned a blind eye to what Osborn did because he brought benefits to the Joseph family. Vincent's ability to eliminate Osborn proved he was at least as skilled and even more formidable than Osborn. In England, experts like Osborn were extremely rare.

In England, aside from Osborn, there was only one other individual who surpassed him. However, this individual was only slightly stronger than Osborn!

Without fully understanding Vincent's capabilities, seeking revenge recklessly could lead to catastrophic losses for the Joseph family.

Seeing his father hesitate, Simona felt anxious but dared not urge him. In the Joseph family, everything hinged on Chester's decisions.

"Mr. Joseph, there's someone outside looking for you!" The butler walked in and announced.

Frowning, Chester asked, "Who is looking for me?"

The butler replied, "He claims to be a member of the Azure from Nacehope City, requesting an audience with you."

"The Azure member?" The Azure was Nacehope City's top gang, every bit as tough as the Joseph family. 'There had been little interaction between the Joseph family and the Azure. Why would the Azure suddenly seek me out?'

Chester didn't dwell on it much. "Let him in," he said.

Moments later, Mr. Grey walked in.

"I'm a representative of Mr. Wright from the Azure. Greetings, Mr. Joseph," Mr. Grey introduced himself.

Chester glanced at Mr. Grey and asked calmly, "What brings you here? Our Joseph family and the Azure have had little to do with each other."

"Mr. Joseph, I come here on behalf of Mr. Wright to propose a partnership against a common enemy," Mr. Grey stated.

"A common enemy? Who is it?" Chester asked curiously, his brow furrowing.

Mr. Grey spoke slowly and deliberately, "Vincent Chesterton."

Hearing that name, Chester immediately stood up.

He had just been contemplating whether to deal with Vincent, and now a representative from the Azure had come personally, proposing an alliance against Vincent! Just how many enemies had Vincent made?

Chester inquired, "Has this Vincent also offended the Azure?"

Mr. Grey nodded. "Yes, Vincent came to Nacehope City and allied with the Brotherhood and the Big Four Corporations, declaring war against the Azure! We heard that your Joseph family also has grievances with Vincent, so Mr. Wright sent me to propose a joint effort against him!"
