Chapter 221: Game One (1)
From the beginning, their only plan was to secure Princess Coreen and nothing else. Spade knew that it was not yet time to go head-on against the organization.
He never hoped that the elite team he deployed would miraculously capture the Marquis at once with his wife; the chances of that happening were not even zero percent.
Spade was aware that there was no way the Marquis would not sense the shift in the air in the capital with his intuition and might make countermeasures for himself. However, he still miscalculated this time. Knowing that they could escape at any moment, he already made preparations beforehand, and some of his forces were deployed earlier on to encircle the possible routes of escape and not far from the Ford Mansion.
He should’ve known; his opponent was in no way simple. The moment he smelled trouble, he had already disappeared like smoke, leaving blood in his path.
"I..." Levin deflatedly sat on the couch, rubbing his face fiercely in an aggrieved manner. "I should have dragged my mom then." His tone was filled with regret. There was always a consequence to his mind being a mess after the emotion had gone down.
Because he broke down after knowing the truth, he only thought of his well-being! Levin’s teeth clenched, anger for himself and his father.
Arren clasped his hands in front of him, leaning against Spade’s table. He pursed his lips and lowered his head. He didn’t know what to say. His heartbeat was already rising, and he was only controlling himself. Hearing their conversation, he already confirmed his guess.
Marquis Ford, Levin’s father, was the organization’s leader! Playing with his fingers and biting his lips, Arren was too shocked, even though he sort of anticipated it. How did it all come to this?
He couldn’t even sympathize with Levin because he was too preoccupied with his thoughts. Amidst his shock, he tried to remember Marquis Ford’s face, and as he was about to do so, a comforting hand rested on his shoulders, stopping his thoughts.
