Chapter 15 You can ask them if they dare to lay a hand on me
.Listening to Chasel Mills, a cold sweat suddenly broke out on Emmett Walker's back, sending chills down his spine.
Chasel Mills was back!
And he had come to deal with the Walker family!
Even though Emmett knew that the Walker family was now a powerful force, and that Chasel Mills wouldn't be able to stir up much trouble, he still felt a wave of fear wash over him.
The kind of dread that Chasel Mills brought was terrifying!
"Get lost!"
With that, Chasel Mills casually spat out two words.
Emmett's face shifted between shades of pale and green before he finally turned to leave.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Chasel Mills spoke again.
"What do you want now?" Emmett's heart raced as he looked at Chasel, a hint of fear in his eyes.It wasn't that he was afraid of Chasel Mills himself, but rather the gun in Suzaku's hand.
"Take that woman away!"
Chasel pointed at Onyx, who was lying on the bed.
Phew! Emmett let out a sigh of relief inside.
He was afraid that Chasel Mills, seeking revenge, would come to take his life right here.
To Emmett Walker, Chasel Mills was now a desperate man fresh out of prison, harboring a grudge against the Walker family, especially his sister, Charlotte Walker. There was a real chance he might kill Emmett just to vent his anger.
Immediately, Emmett turned to Onyx, his face pale with fury.
He dared not express his anger toward Chasel Mills, but he was seething with rage at Onyx.
How dare she betray him? Was she tired of living?
Especially now that Chasel Mills' actions had made it onto the internet, soon the entire Verdant City would know that he was being publicly humiliated.It was an absolute disgrace.
"Get up, we're going back!" Emmett growled through clenched teeth.
Onyx trembled at his words. She could hardly bring herself to follow Emmett back; she could already envision her grim fate.
However, when she met Chasel Mills' cold gaze, she suddenly felt the urge to flee.
Chasel was looking at her as if she were already dead.
Onyx felt an overwhelming wave of regret wash over her. If only she could turn back time, she would never have provoked Chasel Mills and Michelle Allen, nor would she have thought about seeking revenge on them.
Without caring about her clothes or the risk of exposing herself, she hurriedly threw on her outfit and followed Emmett out.
But just as they stepped outside, a blood-curdling scream escaped Onyx's lips.
After Onyx left, Chasel Mills and Suzaku remained in the hotel room.
Billy Bruno's expression changed slightly. What was Chasel Mills planning to do?
At that moment, a new wave of footsteps echoed from outside the room. The sound was dense and unmistakably indicated a large number of people approaching!
Soon, over twenty men in black enteredthe doorway of room 803, filing in one after another, all armed.
The leader was the bald man who had been lurking outside the Qingcheng Residence earlier.
Seeing the newcomers, Billy's face lit up with joy. He immediately sat up from the bed.
"Bro, my guys are here, but you only have one gun," he said, his confidence rising.
"You're looking to deal with the Walker family, but we have no past grievances or recent conflicts. There's no need tomake enemies, right? Just leave. I'll take the blame for today's events, how about that?"
Billy Bruno felt emboldened. As long as Chasel Mills wasn't foolish, he would surely compromise. Otherwise, even if they killed him, Chasel and his partner wouldn't be able to leave the room.
Once Chasel Mills was gone, his safety would be assured, and he could seek revenge later.
"Who says we have no grudges or animosities?" Chasel Mills narrowed his eyes. "You sent someone to try to grab my woman? They're dead!"As his words fell, a chilling aura instantly enveloped the room!
Billy Bruno felt a twitch in his facial muscles.
"Brother, in this game, you need to know when to advance and when to retreat. I haven't touched your woman yet. You've already offended the Walker family, and now you want to make an enemy of me? What's the point? Besides, with just one gun, how many people can you really kill? If this blows up and gets the authorities involved, that iron piece you have won't be easy to explain! And let's be real, no matter how tough you are, can you really take on my twenty-plusbrothers?"
Billy spoke in a low voice, but inside, he was seething with anger. If he weren't in bed right now, but outside the room or even among his men, he wouldn't hesitate to order Chasel Mills to be taken out.
But now, he had to think about his own life; otherwise, he wouldn't be wasting his breath like this.
Hearing this, Chasel Mills laughed.
"Alright, since you've managed to get Onyx involved and brought shame to the Walker family, I'll make sure you die understanding why!""First, I've never cared about the Walker family, nor am I worried about making enemies with someone like you. To me, squashing you is as easy as squashing an ant!"Second, no matter how many people a gun can kill, it's enough to take you out!"
"Third, even if things escalate and get the authorities involved, who would dare to meddle in my business, Aurelian Mills?"
"Fourth, whether I can take on your twenty-plus brothers is one thing, but ask them if they dare to lay a hand on me."Chasel Mills spoke each word with conviction, exuding an air of dominance that seemed to look down on the world!
Billy Bruno's pupils dilated in shock. Chasel Mills' last words sent a wave of fear across his face. It suddenly hit him—how did Chasel know he was here? Wasn't the bald guy supposed to be keeping an eye on Michelle Allen? How did he end up here?
At that moment, the bald man stepped forward, but instead of approaching Billy, he walked up to Chasel Mills. He bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Mr. Mills!"Then he straightened up and turned to Billy. "Billy, Mr. Mills is not someone we can afford to mess with. You've crossed the wrong person this time, and this mistake will come with a deadly price!"
He continued, "Now that the opportunity has presented itself, I want to seize it too. So, Billy, I'm sorry."
With that, the bald man waved his hand. Instantly, the twenty or so men behind him drew their knives and surged toward Billy Bruno.
"Hold on!" Chasel Mills raised a hand and spoke softly.As soon as Chasel spoke, everyone halted in their tracks, looking at him with a mix of awe and respect.
"Regarding the scandal of the Walker family's young matriarch's infidelity, the Walker family will undoubtedly suppress it swiftly. Therefore, he needs to die in an accident to ensure this matter is completely settled!" Chasel Mills said calmly.
With that, he turned and walked away, with Suzaku closely following behind.

Verdant City, Walker family."Are you saying this is his gift for our meeting?" A tall, curvaceous woman with an exquisite face sat on the sofa in the living room, her gaze icy as she looked at the somewhat trembling Emmett Walker, exuding an air of superiority like a queen.
"He really said that, and... he alsomentioned that he's willing to give it to you. You can refuse, but you can't just take what he hasn't given you..." Emmett Walker repeated Chasel Mills' words, his eyes darting nervously to the woman who resembled a queen.
Though he was the eldest son of the Walker family, the true core of the family was his sister, Charlotte Walker. While he might act arrogant and reckless outside, in front of Charlotte, Emmett felt a sense of trepidation, clearly intimidated by his younger sister.
Sitting nearby were his father, several uncles, and his grandfather—all key figures in the Walker family."He's out of prison? It seems he's back to take revenge on the Walker family," one elder exclaimed.
"The Walker family is about to secure the project for the Qing Shui Mountain scenic area. Charlotte has confirmed she will sign on as the spokesperson for it, and now this happens!" another elder added, frustration evident in his voice.
"It's all because of that woman! She's brought shame to the Walker family and ruined everything. According to tradition, she should be punished severely!"
The elders of the Walker family voiced their anger, especially one older manwho glared at Onyx, his eyes practically shooting fire.
Meanwhile, Onyx knelt on the floor, head bowed, trembling and too afraid to speak.
"Grandpa, what era are we in? Punishing her like that is outdated," Charlotte Walker said, rubbing her temples.
Yet, a serious look crossed her face. Chasel Mills was no fool!
She understood him well; otherwise, Chasel wouldn't have been able to create the North Qing Group at such a young age and become a dark horse in VerdantCity. If it weren't for the trust Chasel had placed in her back then, she would never have had the chance to orchestrate his success.
Someone like him, if he sought revenge without restraint, could indeed become a major headache.
"Immediately send out the PR team to manage this situation. Spend money to suppress the trending news and bribe the media, especially the local outlets in Verdant City. But don't try to hide everything; that would only make us look guilty."
"Leave some information out there, andlet things proceed as usual!"
"Brother, just act as you normally would. Let Onyx accompany you to some events. There's no need to overdo the affection, but don't deliberately distance yourselves either!"
"And also, you are not allowed to retaliate against Billy Bruno. If we go after him, the Walker family will suffer serious consequences. Not only that, we need to contact him and have him publicly deny everything. We will let this matter go. At this critical time, it's best to avoid unnecessary trouble and focus on the company's development," Charlotte Walker said softly."And Onyx, you need to continue your routine of dropping the kids off at school and picking them up. Don't act suspiciously. Remember, you have never cheated. Remember, you have never cheated. As long as we can get through this smoothly, you can leave the Walker family without any repercussions from me!"
Emmett Walker's face was filled with indignation. "Sister, she cheated on me! How can we just let her go?"
He was itching to take revenge on Onyx right then and there.
"Shut up!" Charlotte snapped.Emmett opened his mouth to protest but thought better of it and fell silent.
Onyx, who had once been so arrogant, was now kneeling on the ground, repeatedly bowing her head toward Charlotte. "Thank you, thank you! I promise I'll behave!"
Onyx knew Charlotte's methods all too well. If Charlotte decided to pursue this, Onyx would be in for a world of hurt, if not worse. But since Charlotte had spoken up, it meant she at least had a chance to come out of this unscathed.
Just then, a phone call came in.Charlotte answered, "What is it?"
"Ms. Walker... President Walker, Billy Bruno is dead. He fell to his death in an accident!"
Upon hearing this, Charlotte's expression instantly froze.
With her delicate fingers gripping the phone tightly, her knuckles turned white!
