Chapter 646: Chapter 646 Taste the Humiliation_1

Test!

Test!

Test!

These two words were like a mighty bell tolling!

They echoed ceaselessly in Fabian Percival’s mind!

“What do you mean by that?”

...

Clenching his teeth, he wanted to lift his head, but dared not to.

The once glorious overlord of Gonzalez City, whose brilliance made even the great families of Five-river Province bow down to him.

At this moment, he didn’t even have the courage to lift his head!

“Your people were merely benchmarks for testing Julius Reed’s strength,” said the woman as she circled around Fabian Percival with a smile. “In other words, I wanted to know just how strong Julius Reed is now.”

“Now, I know the answer.”

Hearing these words, Fabian Percival felt deceived, humiliated!

“You used the lives of my employees to test Julius Reed’s strength?”

He clenched his fists tightly, “That is to say, you knew from the beginning that we couldn’t kill Julius Reed?”

“Of course!”

The woman answered nonchalantly, “You guys thought you could kill him? If he were that easy to kill, I would have done it long ago!”

She walked behind Fabian Percival as her hands kept wandering: “In this world, there are too many people who want him dead! But he is still alive to this day. Do you know why? Because he is very strong! Stronger than you could possibly imagine!”

“Who are you, exactly!” Fabian Percival began to tremble.

There was anger, fear, and confusion!

As a domineering ruler who had been plotting all his life,

to be played in the palm of someone’s hand?

“You are not worthy of knowing.”

After saying this, the woman sighed, “Next, I will give you a new arrangement.”

“What if I refuse?”

Fabian Percival wanted to lift his head, but he never found the courage to do so.

Even though he knew he had been schemed against, even though he was furious,

he still chose to bow in the face of death.

“Let me think…” The woman pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, “Do you think Elwood Thorneycroft would be interested in sitting in your position? Or maybe those bodyguards from earlier?”

With a light laugh and a hint of mockery in her tone, she said, “I think they would be quite eager to take your place.”

Threat!

Absolute threat!

A naked threat!

But Fabian Percival was helpless.

Countless people were eyeing the seat beneath his buttocks.

It was only because he could control the situation now that no one dared to show their ambitions openly.

But in their hearts, everyone was waiting.

The law of the jungle.

“Tariq Lopez was one of your men. Could you really bear to see him serve as a mere sacrificial pawn?”

In the end,

Fabian Percival voiced his greatest doubt!

Someone as powerful as Tariq Lopez couldn’t be found for all the money in the world.

His three employees together were no match for Tariq Lopez!

Here was a man capable of pulling Aron Jackson out of his stronghold single-handedly!

“His death was well deserved.”

The woman’s voice was so emotionless it was as if she didn’t know Tariq Lopez at all.

“Only with his death,” she paused then continued, “can Julius Reed turn his attention elsewhere. And only then can I clear myself of suspicion.”

“Ah! Being the target of someone, it’s not a pleasant feeling at all!”

After she spoke these words, silence enveloped the air once again.

“What are you planning to do next?”

Fabian Percival had no choice but to accept his fate.

He had thought of returning to Gonzalez City, expanding his influence, and freeing himself from domination by those behind him.

But unexpectedly, upon arriving in Gonzalez City,

he’d been controlled by another woman all over again!

Even his life couldn’t be guaranteed!

Yet no one answered.

The air was deathly still.

Five minutes later.

Fabian Percival slowly lifted his head.

In the vast reception room, he was all alone.

He collapsed into the wooden chair, feeling as though all the strength had been drained from his body.

…

“Auntie, you don’t look very well today! Is there something troubling you?”

Tariq Lopez had just disembarked the plane when he saw Jennifer Lopez, who was there to meet him at the airport.

The Lopez Family’s extensive business naturally led to some internal factional differences.

Moreover, everyone knew that Jennifer Lopez was capable and favored by the old man.

Most importantly, she wanted to bring Zane Percival back to the Lopez Family to compete for the family business.

In the struggle for the inheritance, Zane Percival’s biggest competitor was Tariq Lopez himself.

So faced with Jennifer Lopez’s invitation, although Tariq found it strange, he agreed to come.

Firstly, he also wanted to see what Gonzalez City was like and understand Zane Percival’s moves there.

Secondly, he wanted to find out if Jennifer Lopez had laid some traps in Gonzalez City.

Know the enemy, know yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles without defeat.

“We’ll talk in the car.”

Jennifer Lopez waved her hand, and Black Wind, behind her, took the luggage and walked towards a parked Mercedes.

“Auntie doesn’t seem very happy.”

Tariq could immediately spot something was off with Jennifer Lopez.

His aunt usually always bore a smile, but today it seemed she had encountered something serious.

At a complete loss.

“Let’s talk inside the car.”

Jennifer Lopez still spoke indifferently.

Once the two were seated in the Mercedes.

Jennifer Lopez finally said, “I’ve sent Zane abroad. He won’t return for five years.”

“Really?”

Tariq was incredulous.

The old man’s life wouldn’t last much longer; he might pass away within the next couple of years.

When that time came, either he or Zane would inevitably be groomed as the future successor.

And the other one.

Would lose their chance completely!

Never to touch the core interests of the Lopez Family!

At this crucial moment, Jennifer Lopez actually sent Zane Percival abroad?

And he’s not allowed to return for five years?

What’s the difference between that and giving up on the competition?

Jennifer Lopez, with great effort, had operated in the capital for many years, and even during holidays, she would have Zane visit the Lopez Family.

Firstly, to get him recognized.

Secondly, to let Zane take the opportunity to grasp the inner workings of the Lopez Family, always ready to take over.

But now, just when the years of effort were about to bear fruit,

Jennifer Lopez actually sent Zane Percival abroad?

“I have already spoken to the old man, nominating you as the Lopez Family’s successor. When the time comes, I will support you with all my might.”

Jennifer Lopez spoke, her eyes fixed ahead, her voice filled with disheartenment.

At that moment.

Tariq received a message on his phone.

It was from his father.

It was wordy.

But the gist was similar to what Jennifer Lopez just said.

The Lopez Family already knew that Zane Percival had given up the competition, and Jennifer Lopez would support Tariq Lopez fully.

His becoming the next core of the Lopez Family was now a nailed-on certainty.

“Auntie, why would you do this?”

Tariq said with some disbelief: “All your years of effort…”

“Zane was beaten to a pulp, reduced to groveling on the ground barking like a dog. With such humiliation, he is no longer fit to lead the Lopez Family!”

Jennifer Lopez’s voice was cold and flat as she spoke: “The Lopez Family must have dignity.”

When it came to this matter, Tariq did think of the recent scandal that had rocked the capital.

Rumor had it that Jennifer Lopez had been violated, and even the photos had spread online.

He had intended to get hold of those photos and use them to strike hard at Jennifer Lopez in front of the old man.

Now it seemed there was no need.

“If I may, I’d like to ask for your help.”

Jennifer Lopez turned around, looking earnestly at Tariq Lopez.

“Please speak, Auntie. Whatever I can do, I, Tariq Lopez, will do my utmost!”

Tariq answered sincerely.

Now that his position as the successor was secure, nothing else mattered.

“You should know, the person who released those indecent photos of me was named Julius Reed.”

Jennifer Lopez gave a self-mocking smile: “I want him to taste humiliation.”
