I am the King

Chapter 58

Kennedy nodded and replied, "That's right, Vincent is extremely sinister. If we're not careful, we could all be wiped out!"

Nick squinted with a hesitant expression.

Even then, he remained unclear about Vincent's background and true identity. Vincent seemed shrouded in a veil of mystery.

His public identity was as the son-in-law of the Joseph family, a vagrant. Yet there were rumors that he was a friend of the mysterious King Arthur.

With so much conflicting information, it was difficult to discern the truth.

The group grew heated in discussion.

"Vincent? I know him, he's supposedly the Joseph family's son-in-law."

"A while back, he spent fifty million dollars to rent out the entire Dream Land, causing a sensation in M City."

"I never expected Vincent to turn against us like this. We can't just sit around waiting."

"That's right, this is a showdown. Whoever draws first will be the one left standing!"

Even the most insignificant and weakest people, when provoked enough, will seek revenge.

But these were not insignificant people; they were mafia bosses!

Kennedy clenched his teeth and urged, "Nick, we're backed into a corner now. If we just wait, three days from now, disaster will strike us all. Please make a decision quickly!"

"Nick, make your decision!" everyone shouted in unison. At this moment, they had set aside their past grievances and stood united.

Because when judgment day arrived in three days, no one would escape!

Nick stood up, seeming to have made up his mind.

He said, "All of you, go back and gather everyone."

Meanwhile, Galahad was not idle either, gathering intelligence on the mafia organizations in M City.

"My lord, I have received word that all the M City mafia bosses have gathered at Angel's Temptation. They're determined to fight us to the death," Galahad reported.

"Fight us to the death?" Vincent chuckled as he stood up, a terrifying aura emanating from him. "Since they want to resist, let them witness the bloodshed of the arena."

"Galahad, listen carefully. Deploy our forces immediately. I want these underworld scum wiped out!"

Galahad placed his right hand over his chest. "Yes, my lord!"

Vincent's eyes gleamed with cold determination. This time, he would send every member of M City's mafia straight to hell!

The next day, outside V&E Group, figures began appearing one after another. These men exuded a murderous intent. They were adorned with tattoos and armed with batons, handguns, and other weapons.

One, two, three... There were hundreds of them.

All the shops along the street closed up. No one dared to come out. Everyone knew a storm was brewing.

Nick looked at Edison beside him and asked, "Edison, are you sure Vincent's wife and father-in-law are inside there?"

Edison leaned on his cane, respectfully replying, "Yes, Mr. Johnson. I can confirm that Emma and Franklin are both inside V&E Group. Once we capture them, we can threaten Vincent. Then, Vincent will be our lapdog!"

After treatment, both Edison and Kennedy could walk with canes.  

They had no way to approach Cloudtop Villa.

They received word that the area was heavily guarded by soldiers. It would be suicidal to attempt an approach there. Therefore, Edison suggested attacking V&E Group instead.

If they could capture Emma and Franklin, Vincent's deep affection for Emma would compel him to obey their commands.

Nick nodded approvingly, "Edison, you've done well this time. Once this is done, I'll definitely reward you!"

Edison beamed, "Thank you, Mr. Johnson!"

Nick turned to Kennedy and asked, "Kennedy, how many people have we gathered this time?"

Kennedy exclaimed excitedly, "Nick, we've gathered the entire mafia members in M City , totaling over a thousand people!"

Over a thousand people? Nick felt a surge of excitement. Who could withstand such a force?

Nick waved his hand and shouted, "Let's go!"

Over a thousand fierce gang members gathered towards V&E Group.  

As they reached the entrance, Nick and his group suddenly halted, their faces showing surprise.

In front of V&E Group's gate, there was a chair.

A man dressed in black sat in the chair, smiling at Nick and the fellow. Upon seeing him, Nick asked, "Vincent?"

Vincent replied, "I've been waiting for you all."

Surprised, Nick asked, "Vincent, did you know we would come?"

Vincent chuckled, "Of course, I've had every move of yours under my control."

Hearing this, Nick and his group immediately looked around.

In their sight, there was no one around, no sign of any ambush.

Seeing this, Vincent continued, "Rest assured, dealing with you trash doesn't require mobilizing a large force."

Not far away, thirty members of Knights in combat gear stood ready.

Galahad approached respectfully and said, "My lord, the Knights have been assembled!"

Knights had received rigorous training from the Round Table and been battle-hardened over the years.  

Vincent hadn't mobilized a large army or other forces of the Round Table.

After all, they were only dealing with a mafia. It did not necessitate an overwhelming force. The thirty were more than enough. Seeing Vincent with only thirty men, Nick couldn't believe it. "You brought so few people?"

Vincent nodded, "Yes, thirty men is enough to deal with you."

Witnessing Vincent's arrogance, everyone erupted in indignation.

"Arrogant!"

"He's too audacious!"

"Only thirty men, yet he thinks he can take down over a thousand of us? That's just reckless!"

Nick stared at Vincent with icy eyes and asked, "Vincent, I'll ask you plainly: Did you kill my brother, Rex?"

Vincent replied calmly, "Yes, he harassed my wife and had it coming."

Upon confirming Vincent as the one who killed his brother, Nick's face twisted with anger. He pressed on, "Was it you who issued the MCPD warning as well?"

Vincent remained composed as he answered, "Yes, it was me."

Taking a deep breath to calm his rage, Nick tried one last time, "Vincent, if you withdraw now, I'll leave with my people immediately."

Vincent shook his head disdainfully, saying, "No need. Today, I'll wipe out all you trash."

Seeing Vincent's arrogance reach its peak, Nick could bear it no longer. He roared, "Arrogant fool! Since you're so eager for hell, don't blame me!"
