Chapter 1583 A Perfect Plan
“Daddy, he’s really here. Is he not afraid that we’ll strike out and shoot him first?”
“Not really. Aside from the fact that he holds the chip to deciding the fate of Imperial Garden, your uncle and mother are both in his hands. He knows for a fact that we will never disregard their safety.”
Steven’s fleet of cars was a few meters away from them after Evan was done talking.
“Blake…”
Juan called out two times but nobody responded.
Evan glanced at his son and said, “I’ve asked Blake to arrange all bodyguards and maids to leave for their own safety after getting the call from Steven. They should be at the hotel right now.”
Juan was stumped. No wonder the Imperial Garden seems so deserted. So, there isn’t actually anyone else around other than the three of us.
“Daddy, you should have asked the bodyguards to stay. Maybe they will be able to lend a helping hand if we encounter any emergency.”
Steven’s fleet of cars was parked right outside Imperial Garden.
The people who first got off the car pointed daggers right at Davin and Nicole’s throat. Their mouths were stuffed as Steven trailed closely behind them. He got off the car, flanked by several bodyguards and Riley.
Steven shot daggered looks at Evan. It was as if he could not wait to crush the latter into a million pieces.
Suddenly, a commotion could be heard nearby. A group of people appeared out of nowhere and dashed inside Imperial Garden as they guarded Evan, Kyle, and Juan behind them.
Juan was surprised at the sight of them. “Aren’t you guys supposed to be at the hotel?”
“We knew something was off when Mr. Seet asked the butler to arrange for all of us to go to the hotel. We only sent the maids and butlers there. All bodyguards and male helpers have decided to stay and help!”
“Yes, Mr. Seet. You shouldn’t have asked us to leave. We are the bodyguards of Imperial Garden. How could you ask us to leave at this critical moment?”
“Yes, we’ve sworn our lives to protect you, Mr. Kyle, and Mr. Juan.”
“Yes, we’re not leaving!”
Evan, Kyle, and Juan were touched to hear that they were willing to stay and fight alongside them.
“All right! Since you guys are fearless, let’s stand united against them!”
“Mr. Seet, we do not fear death. They’re the ones who should be worried for their lives.”
“That’s right, Mr. Seet! You need only order us to eradicate them all!”
“We’re going to beat them up real bad!”
“No, we need to calm down. Haven’t you guys noticed that Mr. Davin and Mrs. Seet are in the enemy’s hands?”
“Stop talking! Let’s all listen to Mr. Seet!”
Evan looked at Davin, then at Nicole before he finally fixed his gaze at Steven.
“Release them!” Evan ordered.
“Evan Seet, have you gotten so used to ordering people around that you think I’m the one who should be at your beck and call? You’d better get it clear that I’m the one who is able to decide whether they live or die. So, I’m the one making the calls!” Steven snapped.
“Cut the crap. What does it take for you to let them go?” Evan did not beat around the bush.
“You want me to release them? Release my son, Skyler, and I will release one of them. You get to decide who to save.”
Evan looked at Steven and said nonchalantly, “Well, well. I have no plans to release your son.”
“Prepare for your wife and your brother to lose their lives then,” Steven threatened.
“You’re going to destroy Imperial Garden even if I release your son. Either way, we’re all going to die.”
As expected, Evan played a wild card.
Steven was planning on using one of his prisoners in exchange for his son, while the other was for a precious item that he was after. Then, he would swiftly throw out the black box and activate the chip to send them all to hell. It seemed like his plan was not going as smoothly as he thought it would.
“Evan Seet, even if you don’t release Skyler, I will not let the Seet family off the hook either! I’ll let you witness me killing these two first before dealing with you and the others!”
