Vincent waved his hand. "There's nothing else. You can leave now."
Benson wiped the sweat from his forehead and carefully exited the room.
Then Galahad asked, "My lord, do you think Benson will follow your orders?"
Vincent smiled faintly. "Whether he does or not doesn't matter to me. If he doesn't, someone else will deal with him."
With the Azure out of the picture, Nacehope City's two major powers were now the Big Four Corporations and the Brotherhood. If the Brotherhood decided to act recklessly, the Big Four Corporations would naturally replace them.
Vincent turned to Galahad. "Get things ready. We're heading back to Z City."
Galahad quickly asked, "My lord, are you going back to deal with the England Joseph family?"
"Hmph!" Vincent snorted. "They have overstepped. Since they've come to Z City looking for trouble, I'll be happy to oblige."
"Yes, my lord. I'll make the arrangements right away!" Galahad replied respectfully before leaving.
Vincent's eyes narrowed, revealing a hint of murderous intent. He had given the Joseph family a chance, but since they hadn't taken it, they had no one but themselves to blame.
With the situation in Nacehope City settled, Vincent could now focus all his attention on dealing with the England Joseph family.
***
In Z City.
"My lady, our forces are ready and can head to M City at any time," Dark Demon reported respectfully to Simona.
After a night of cleaning up, Z City was now firmly under the control of the England Joseph family. With Z City secure, their next target was M City—Vincent's stronghold.
Simona nodded with satisfaction. "Good! Let's move out and destroy the Joseph family in M City! Wipe out V&E Group!"
Simona could hardly contain her excitement. She already envisioned the downfall of the Joseph family in M City and Vincent kneeling before her, begging for forgiveness. Leading hundreds of elite fighters, Simona set off for M City with great momentum.
At the same time, Vincent and Emma flew back to Z City from Nacehope City.
At the airport, Emma looked worried. "Honey, I heard the England Joseph family has come. Do you think my parents will be okay?"
Emma had received the news as soon as the V&E Group's branch in Z City was taken over by the England Joseph family. She had been frantic and booked the earliest flight back to Z City.
Vincent reassured Emma, "Honey, don't worry. I've made arrangements. Everything will be fine."
Emma nodded, but her expression remained anxious. Without wasting any time, they drove back to the branch company in Z City.
At the entrance, Vincent saw Porter hanging by the gate. He was barely alive, with his legs bloodied, his eyes closed, and his face pale. None of the employees dared to help him because Simona had warned that anyone who did would oppose the England Joseph family, which meant certain death.
"Porter!" Emma cried out, rushing to him.
Seeing this, Vincent's face filled with anger. He hadn't expected Simona to be so ruthless. If they had arrived a moment later, Porter might have been dead. Without hesitation, Vincent rushed to free Porter.
Emma asked urgently, "Porter, are you okay?"
Porter slowly opened his eyes at the sound of her voice. Seeing Vincent and Emma, he smiled weakly. "Thanks god, you're finally here!"
Tears welled up in Emma's eyes. "What happened here?"
Porter coughed weakly. Vincent quickly gave him a sip of water from a bottle he carried.
After drinking, Porter got slightly better. He had been hanging at the company gate for a day and a night without water or food. His belief that Vincent and Emma would come saved him from despair.
Porter explained, "President Joseph, after you left, Simona suddenly arrived with her men. They not only took over the company but also broke my legs..."
"That Simona is outrageous!" Emma fumed. She had never imagined such cruelty in a person.
Vincent asked, "Where is Simona now?"
Porter's face showed urgency. "She took her people to M City. You must go quickly. I'm afraid your family in M City is in danger!"
"What?" Emma was shocked. Her parents were in M City, and the thought of them falling into Simona's hands was terrifying.
"Vincent!" Emma turned to him, her eyes pleading.
Vincent comforted her, "Don't worry, we'll head to M City right now!"
After calling for an ambulance, which soon arrived to take Porter to the hospital, Vincent and Emma hurried to M City.
On the road to M City, Simona inquired, "Dark Demon, how much longer until we reach M City?"
"My lady, we're approaching the border!" Dark Demon responded respectfully.
Hearing this, Simona's lips curled into a sinister smile. "Good. Today, I'll see Vincent's family ruined."
Suddenly, the vehicle came to an abrupt stop, causing Simona to lose her balance and fall against the car interior.
Simona sat up, yelling, "What are you doing? Do you want me to kill you?"
The driver, trembling, replied, "Miss Joseph, it wasn't my fault. There's someone blocking the road!"
"What?" Simona frowned. "Get out! Let me see who dares to block my path!" She exited the car with Dark Demon.
Ahead, not far from them, Vincent sat on a leather sofa, leisurely sipping wine. Behind him stood Galahad and the Knights.
To intercept Simona in time, Vincent had Galahad fly him in a helicopter, allowing him to arrive as quickly as possible. He had left Emma to drive herself, ensuring she would arrive later, as he didn't want her to witness what might become a brutal scene.
Simona was stunned. "Vincent, what are you doing here?"
She couldn't believe Vincent had arrived so quickly. How did he get here? Did he drop from the sky?
Vincent smiled calmly. "Simona, you seem surprised to see me here."
