Chapter 214: Escaping
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When the people who came to besiege the Brookes saw Andrew’s behavior, they immediately hesitated even though they just claimed that they could take the Brookes down easily.
They began to wonder if that terrifying godlike man had really left the Brookes.
If he had left only for a while and could be summoned by Andrew with a single phone call, none of them here to settle scores with the Brookes would be able to escape!
The news of the destruction of the Brookes was already confirmed in LA according to the news broadcast. But there were only rumors about Stanley’s departure, so no one could confirm if he had really left or not.
At the thought of this, many people began to feel their hearts palpitate.
“Hmph, old fogy, are you still trying to put up a pretense and scare us?”
At this moment, a young man from one of the families suddenly cursed because he didn’t believe Andrew’s words. He felt that Andrew was just making false claims to scare them.
Andrew’s heart skipped a beat, but he tried his best to pretend to be nonchalant. In fact, he even threatened, “Punk, if you don’t want to follow in your brother’s footsteps, continue kicking up a ruckus here! Stanley will return in a few minutes, and you’ll naturally know whether I’m boasting or not!”
Seeing that the people in front of him were hesitant and apprehensive, Andrew decided to strike the iron while it was hot and continued, “Hah, the Brookes have been running businesses for more than a decade, and we have enough manpower and wealth. We’ve just restarted our empire in another place! Stanley has stayed with us for so many years. As long as we hire him with a high salary again, why would he leave?
“I don’t know who instigated you or where you heard the news of Stanley’s departure, so you came to the Brookes to stir up trouble.
“However, I’ll make things clear now. If you all leave this place now, I can still consider that nothing has happened and not hold it against you on account that we know each other. But if you still want to seek revenge and cause trouble, I’ll have Stanley break all of your legs when he comes back! Even if you flee back to your families, I won’t let you off!”
Andrew had a hostile expression on his face as he glared at the people in front of him. He didn’t seem scared at all and instead seemed rather fearless.
Everyone immediately thought of retreating. After all, Stanley was known for being brutal and ruthless. They were really terrified.
“Forget it. Anyway, it’s just some minor grudges from the past. There’s no point in getting our families involved. We’ll get going now. Bye!”
“We… we have other things to handle at home too. We’re going to get going!”
“Forget it. We don’t care anymore. Let’s go!”
“Damn it. If that killer comes back, it’ll be over for us. Let’s hurry and leave!”
…
All of a sudden, everyone was terrified and immediately left.
In front of the large gate of the Brookes’ villa, Elliot and a few others were the only ones left.
“Elliot, what’s going on? You must have a death wish for choosing to stay behind. Are you that eager to die?” Andrew questioned derisively while looking at Elliot.
Elliot snorted and shouted, “Andrew, don’t be too smug! Stanley hasn’t returned yet. I can kill you before he comes back!”
Andrew laughed out loud nonchalantly. “Sure. Anyway, I’ve already lived such a long time. Even if I die, it won’t be a loss! Your entire Parker family will be buried along with me. It’ll be worth it. Come on. I’m standing right. Try killing me!”
“You!”
The more fearless Andrew seemed, the uglier Elliot’s face became. He gritted his teeth and held back for a long time, but he still didn’t dare to really make a move on the Brookes.
“There are still five minutes left. Stanley will be back soon.” Andrew deliberately lifted his wrist to look at his watch before warning.
“Damn it! Andrew Brooke, just you wait! One day, I will make sure you get it! Let’s go!” Elliot finally couldn’t help but curse as he left the Brookes’ villa together with the rest.
He was the scion of the Parkers and the future successor. He definitely couldn’t stay here and let Stanley cripple him!
As Elliot left, the others standing in front of the Brookes’ villa also left.
Only then did the Brookes heave a long sigh of relief and relax.
“Will Stanley… really come back?”
Although they had witnessed everything that happened previously, there were some who were still waiting to hear his answer expectantly.
Andrew shook his head bitterly. Of course, he knew that Stanley definitely wouldn’t return to the Brookes. He had indeed deliberately said those words to scare them away.
“All of you, drop everything you haven’t packed and get in the cars immediately. We’ll set off now! Otherwise, we won’t be able to escape! We will leave separately and gather in Florida. Got it?!” Andrew hollered and took the lead to get in a car.
Countless members of the Brooke family behind him were in a state of panic as they hurriedly got inside the cars and soon left in various directions.
By the time the people of other families in LA realized that something was amiss, the Brookes had long since scattered among the traffic of LA. They had already left the city, and the other families wouldn’t be able to catch up at all.
——
In the luxurious villa belonging to the Parkers in LA, Elliot flew into a rage and slammed his teacup hard onto the ground when he heard that Stanley hadn’t return to the Brookes and that the Brookes had actually taken the opportunity to flee from LA!
Bang!
The white porcelain teacup instantly shattered into pieces!
“You still have the nerve to smash your cup, huh? You good-for-nothing, I told you to go to the Brookes and stop them from leaving, but you did exactly the opposite!” Ian Parker, Elliot’s father, cursed furiously and raised his hand to slap Elliot hard on the face.
Smack!
Elliot put his hand on his red and swollen cheek and roared furiously, “Dad, that sly old fox Andrew Brooke deliberately lied to us that Stanley Ray was coming back soon. He threatened to kill me if I didn’t leave. Well, that’s why I… I thought that if he really came back, you wouldn’t be able to see me again. He seemed really aggressive, and everyone was scared by him. Who expected that that bastard was lying!”
“How dare you argue?! Anyway, you failed to get the job done properly! Hmph, in order to stop those people from talking, I’ll leave it to you to handle the other matters regarding the Brookes. Hurry up and make up for it! This time, you have to do a good job and not make any mistakes again!” Ian said with great determination and a gloomy gaze.
“Dad, what do you mean?”
“Although the Brookes have fled, they still own many businesses, factories, and real estate properties in LA. They couldn’t have moved them all away. I don’t care if those properties no longer have an owner or whoever they belong to now. I want you to bring some people and snatch them!”
