Chapter 595: A meeting at this hour?
"Told you, Silas. My brother and sis will kill you. You’re dead — Bleh!"
Silas had his eyes wide open as he stared at the large screen on the stage. Even though Axel could barely open his swollen and blacked eyes, he could feel the look of ridicule behind his gaze. His chest rumbled as he breathed out a jagged breath, turning his head in Dominic’s direction on instinct.
"What..."
"Motherfucker," Silas trailed off at Primo’s airy side comment, but he couldn’t take his attention away from Dominic.
Silas was so sure his plan for tonight was clean and smooth. He had waited for this, planned for it for many years, and executed it tonight after years of extended patience. He fought a patient fight, knowing he had to be careful if he wanted to end the Zhu family without getting implicated in it.
What happened?
Why was Axel, who was supposed to be dead, now on the screen and taunting him? Why was Dominic smirking at him now as if he was successful in something? And why was Primo so alarmed at the thought of Heaven Liu?
What was going on?
"Silas, we grew up together and despite not spending many years throughout our teenage years and adulthood, some things don’t change. But for sure, there were changes." Dominic let out a shallow breath, assessing Silas’s pale complexion. "For instance, you never changed, Silas. While I... did, not long ago."
Dominic took a deliberate pause as his eyelids drooped. "Silas, did you really believe that I can forgive someone who touched my family? Don’t make me laugh. Be it the devil or God himself — it doesn’t matter who, I will not forgive them."
"And you’re right, Silas." He shook his head mildly. "You’re not family. You’ve stopped being one the moment you thought of us as your enemies."
