Chapter 900 Face The Death Penalty!
Zayden noticed the tears glistening in Trix's eyes. His lips parted as if to speak, but he quickly held back, unsure of what to say.
After a moment of hesitation, he finally tried to console her. "Trix, what's wrong? Maybe Mr. Ramsey has something urgent to handle and will return soon...
"Don't you dare mention him to me again!" Trix exploded, her voice trembling with rage. "He's nothing but a coward! A hypocritical, spineless coward!" Her outburst was so fierce that Zayden nearly fell back in shock. Even Asher, still sprawled on the ground, was startled by Trix's piercing scream.
Glancing up at her wild and furious expression, Zayden couldn't help but roll his eyes and thought, is she about to bite someone or what?
Taking a deep breath, Zayden scanned the area before leaning closer and whispering, "Trix, keep it down..."
But his words fell on deaf ears. Trix, lost in her hysteria, continued shouting uncontrollably.
"Earlier today, he told me that when it's time to act, you should act without hesitation, and never back down when it's necessary. Otherwise, it's shameful and weak!
"And now... look at what he's done.
"He caused all this chaos, but fled when it mattered most. What kind of plan is this?
"I can't respect him anymore! He's not a real man!
"I've lost faith that there are any men left in this world who keep their word!
"All those kind words, all those harsh warnings-they're nothing but lies! Lies!
"To hell with you!
"Can this world get any more real? Playing with people's emotions only to crush them with your own hands... you're not even human!"
Zayden couldn't understand why Trix was reacting with such intensity.
A girl who is always quiet and rarely shows emotions, what's wrong with her today?
It was like poking a cat's tail!
Women really are unpredictable.
He had never felt his heart race like this during a fight before.
After her outburst, Zayden's breath quickened.
He was at a complete loss for words, unsure how to respond in such a tense moment.
"Hahaha... "Amidst the stunned onlookers, Asher's mocking laughter rang out.
"Sweetheart, did that pretty boy fool you? People like him are all talk, just sweet words with no real action. Can you see it now?
"You'd be better off sticking with me, hahaha... that guy probably ran off scared!
"There is no one in the world who dares to challenge the Aldridges!
"That kid must have bolted, do you really think he can get away?
"The Aldridges have influence in every corner of the world.
"Even if that boy tries to run to the ends of the earth, the Aldridges will find him in no time!
"Besides, he's still on my turf here on Qacalisle Island.
"Sweetheart, he won't get away.
"If you're not happy, just come to me, and I'll have the guards on Qacalisle Island bring him back and cut him down right here to ease your anger!"
Trix suddenly wiped away her tears and shot Asher a furious look. "You trash! Even if I die on Qacalisle Island, I will never associate with someone like you!" Asher paused for a moment, then let out a cold laugh. "Darling, don't be so quick to speak.
"Wait until we take you to the Cattell Manor, then you'll see how foolish your words truly are. "In this world, nothing is certain.
"Your current act of purity and resolve is only because you haven't witnessed the legend."
"Women aren't always righteous; they seem righteous only because they haven't been tempted enough.noveldrama
"Men aren't always loyal; they stay loyal because the cost of betrayal is too low."
Before Asher could finish, Trix shouted, "Enough with the nonsense!"
"Vroom..." The sound of motorcycles grew louder, their engines roaring as they approached, creating a gust of wind.
A convoy of 18 massive vans and an aggressive BMW SUV charged into the scene.
Asher's face lit up with excitement. "You'd better prepare to meet your end!
"My father's here now, and he won't show the same mercy I did!
"You hurt me, and none of you will live!"
The 19 vehicles came to a halt in the middle of the convention center.
The spectators gathered outside the Qacalisle International Convention Center quickly scattered, clearing a broad path.
A few organizers of the summit quickly adjusted their attire and rushed ahead.
A middle-aged man dressed in a patterned silk outfit strode toward the convention center, flanked by ten imposing bodyguards.
This man was none other than Mateo, the chief manager of the Aldridges on Qacalisle Island.
Mateo and his group came to a stop in front of the convention center.
One of his bodyguards promptly handed him a lit cigar.
Taking a deep drag, he exhaled a thick cloud of smoke.
His gaze then shifted to Asher, who was lying on the ground, before sweeping over Trix, Zayden, Jethro, and the others.
Before he could say a word, several organizers of the summit meeting had already approached him.
"Mr. Cattell, we deeply regret that such an incident occurred," one of them said.
Without a hint of emotion, Mateo cast a glance at Jethro in the distance and exhaled another thick plume of smoke.
Jackson quickly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Cattell, we are ... "
Mateo raised his hand to interrupt. "No need to explain-I already have a clear idea of what's going on.
"Today marks the international
summit hosted by Thalrex Order et
and we can't let this small issue
interfere with the event's regular
flow.
"We must also ensure that public transportation and the usual order in this area remain unaffected."
"Those involved in this matter can
visit my manor to talk it over-it's et
just a minor scuffle," Mateo with a dismissive wave.
His nonchalant attitude left everyone stunned.
The tense confrontation they had anticipated was nowhere to be seen, nor were there any signs of immediate hostility.
To Mateo, this incident was trivial.
It was clear he wanted to minimize the seriousness of the situation.
But his next statement left the crowd in shock.
Turning to Jethro and the rest,
Mateo declared, "Anyone who
caused serious harm to my
Qacalisle Island will face thet
penalty!
"Let's head to the manor to deliberate on carrying out this ultimate punishment!"
Mateo's announcement sent waves of astonishment through everyone present.
The intent behind this declaration was clear-it wasn't open to discussion.
The death sentence had already been decided; the negotiation was merely about the method of execution. "Mr. Cattell!" a guard said respectfully.
Mateo's gaze hardened with irritation. "You don't understand the rules-what's so urgent that it can't wait?" The guard shook slightly but pressed on, "Mr. Cattell, Mr. Felix has arrived at the manor..." Mateo's hand, still holding the cigar, quivered slightly, a look of disbelief crossing his face. "Huh? Mr. Felix?" Since taking over as the chief manager of Qacalisle Island, the Aldridges' patriarch has never come here. What could Felix's arrival on Qacalisle Island at this moment possibly mean?
