I am the King

Chapter 57

Nick and Rex had lost their parents at a young age and relied on each other deeply, so they had a strong bond.

Then, Nick's hatred burned even stronger after he learned that Vincent was the one who killed his brother.

Kennedy and Edison shouted angrily, "Nick, since we all have a blood feud with Vincent, we should unite!"

Nick calmed down, squinting his eyes. "I do want to revenge for my brother's death, but Vincent's background seems rather complicated."

As one of the godfathers of the M City underworld, Nick wasn't foolish.

He wasn't blinded by hatred.

With his brother killed, Kennedy crippled, and the Wild Warriors destroyed, if Vincent was just an ordinary homeless man, he couldn't have orchestrated all this.

Nick looked at Edison and asked, "Do you know Vincent's background?"

Edison thought for a moment before replying, "He was a homeless man who arrived in M City five years ago. Emma rescued him. They fell in love during his recovery period. Against my family's wishes, Emma married Vincent. Shortly after their marriage, Vincent disappeared without a trace. A month ago, he, after missing for five years, suddenly returned and disrupted my grandfather's eightieth birthday party..."

Edison recounted everything he knew.

Nick fell silent for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "You said Vincent disappeared for five years. Do you know where he went during that time?"

"It’s said that he joined the military..." Edison answered.

Nick's eyes sharpened. "Military?"

Edison shook his head. "Yes, I heard he was friends with King Arthur from the International Peace Corporation, but I can't be sure."

Upon hearing this, Nick was surprised.

The multinational giant International Peace Corporation! If Vincent really had ties with such a figure, his identity...

Thinking this over, Nick hesitated.

Seeing Nick's expression, worried that he was intimidated, Kennedy casually said, "Nick, there's no need to worry too much. I think Vincent is at most just a lucky homeless man."

Edison chimed in, "That's right. If Vincent were truly a remarkable figure, how could he continue to stay in M City?"

Upon hearing Kennedy and Edison's words, Nick nodded.

If Vincent was truly someone significant, he wouldn't remain in M City and settle down with the Joseph family. It just didn't make sense!

Though Nick still harbored doubts about Vincent's identity, Kennedy's words sparked a surge of determination within him. His eyes filled with cold resolve as he spoke, "Alright, I'll gather my men immediately and kill Vincent!"

Kennedy and Edison exchanged glances upon hearing Nick's declaration. With Nick's help this time, Vincent was as good as dead!

Meanwhile, inside Cloudtop Villa, Vincent was listening to Galahad's investigation report.

Vincent asked, "Galahad, how's the progress on the investigation I tasked you with?"

Galahad replied respectfully, "My lord, I've thoroughly investigated the influence of M City's underworld.”

“Well, tell me everything.”

"There are four major organizations, with Wild Warriors already eliminated by your command. Among the remaining three, the most powerful is the Venom, led by a man named Nick Johnson, who has a close relationship with Kennedy..."

"I've also found out that Nick is Rex's brother..."

Vincent narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is this the same Rex who tried to violate Emma?"

Galahad nodded, "Yes, after Rex was killed, I kept the information under wraps. With the Wild Warriors now destroyed, Kennedy will surely seek out Nick..."

Vincent chuckled lightly and looked at Galahad, saying, "Galahad, I command you to immediately issue a final warning to all the mafia organizations in M City in the name of the Round Table. They have three days to disband their gangs. Otherwise, the Round Table will take action immediately!"

Galahad hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, such an action may trigger their self-preservation and provoke desperate resistance."

Vincent stood up, his expression grim. "I want them to show they have! Once they unite, I can wipe them all out in one fell swoop!"

"Yes, my lord! I will follow your command!" Galahad saluted and withdrew.

Vincent leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes in thought. He intended to use this opportunity to sweep away all the mafia power in M City...

That afternoon, a message shook the entire M City underworld.

Through the MCPD, Galahad issued Vincent's final warning. All mafia organizations were required to disband within three days.

All members of these gangs were required to surrender themselves to the MCPD immediately. Anyone who resisted would be arrested forcibly.

Naturally, none of the M City mafia bosses would sit idly at home and wait for the police to come knocking.

They united and headed to meet Nick.

After all, Nick was the godfather of the largest mafia in M City, and his strength is above everyone else's.

At that moment, in the top-floor conference room of Angel's Temptation, all the M City mafia bosses gathered. Each person's face was grave. "Nick, what should we do now?"

"MCPD demands that we disband within three days and surrender ourselves. It's practically a death sentence!"

"If we surrender, can we still survive?"

The assembled mob bosses knew that surrendering themselves meant none would likely survive. Nick drummed his fingers on the table, his inner turmoil palpable. He surveyed everyone present and asked, "Does anyone know why the MCPD suddenly issued this warning?"

One of the mafia heads spoke up, "According to our informant within the MCPD, this order was issued by a mysterious high-ranking figure named Galahad."

Kennedy, sitting in his wheelchair, suddenly exclaimed, "Galahad!?"

Nick glanced at Kennedy and asked, "Do you know this Galahad?"

Kennedy gritted his teeth and replied, "Nick, the last time at Cloudtop Villa, Galahad was with Vincent. It was him who captured all my men!"

If it weren't for Galahad and his sudden appearance, disarming all his men, Kennedy wouldn't have ended up in this state.

Then, hundreds of Wild Warriors members were missing.

Nick furrowed his brow in thought. "Vincent? Not this guy again?"

Kennedy spoke up, "Nick, I suspect Vincent has something to do with this."

Nick narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you suggesting Vincent secretly issued this final warning?"
