Chapter 122

Conflict

At this moment, Osborne remained calm. When he observed the arrogant enforcement team members, his auspicions grew more certain.

It must be that person who had returned!

Clarissa's nominal fiancé, the man feared by Donna and the entire Radcliffe family, the future heir of the ancient Chevalier family, Apollo Chevalier!

The Chevalier family had been influential in Skyefall for centuries, holding sway in both the underworld and high society. In terms of influence, not even the Radcliffe family could compare, and even the Godfather's power paled in certain respects to that of the Chevalier family.

The only family capable of making the Mayby City Enforcement Team strut around the Radcliffe Manor would be the Chevalier family.

Apollo's arrival exerted tremendous pressure on Osborne,

No matter what, Apollo was Clarissa's fiance. Their marriage was arranged by the elders of the Radcliffe and Chevalier families.

For Osborne to complete his best as the beir, he inevitably had in become Apollo's enemy and take Clarissa away from him.

Apollo's early appearance disrupted Osbome's plans, but there was no other choice now. He could only adapt as things unfolded.

Soon, a few imposing figures emerged from the villa

Osborne noted their insignias, identifying them as mid level leaders of the Enforcement Team, with the one in the lead being the deputy captain of the Mayby City Enforcement Team.

He was a man in has thirties, standing nearly 6.5 feet tall, built like a bear, with a ferocious scar on his face that radiated a menacing aura,

"What's going on here?"

The middle aged man asked coldly

"Captain Rudy, this man tried to foren his way in. I stopped him, but he assaulted me and said that even if he killed me, nothing would happen to him. He even threatened to sue the enforcement team!"

The enforcement team member immediately accused Osborne, his face full of contempt and mockery, as if saying, "You're done for."

Hearing this, Rudy Gay, the deputy captain of the enforcement team, looked even colder. He glanced down at Osborne with disdain in his eyes,

"Are you courting death?

"Do you know who we are? We are the Mayby City enforcement team. If you don't want to die, get out of here immediately, or I'll be unkind to you!"

With that, Rudy waved his hand, and the enforcement team members immediately raised their guns, all aiming at Osborne with cold expressions.

Violet and the others faces changed instantly.

But they did not hesitate, lifting their own guns and aiming at the enforcement team members

At this moment, they could only stand by Osborne.

Not only because Orborne was their captain, and seeing him humiliated brought them disgrace, but also because Osborne had saved their lives.

During their recent expedition to the slams south of the city, they had been betrayed by Harris and ambushed. If Osborne hadn't arrived in time, they might well have perished.

"Are you planning to rebel?!"

Rudy's face turned icy cold as he shouted angrily.

Osborne narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly, "Are you all brainless? Do I need to repeat myself? This is the Radcliffe Manor, a sacred private domain. This is not a place for your enforcement team to show off!"

Rudy frowned, his expression turning ugly.

"So what if it's a private domain? Do you think the Radcliffe family would offend Enforcement Team for an outsider like you? Do you believe I could shoot you dead, and the Radcliffe family wouldn't pursue it, but instead help cover it up?"

Osborne responded coldly, "I believe it! However, I bet you can't kill me! Want to try?"

"Do you think I don't dare?"

Rudy aimed his gun at Osborne, disengaging the safety. The muzzle was less than 1.6 feet from Osborne's head. With a pull of the trigger, the bullet would instantly pierce Osborne's skull.

Seeing this, Violet and the others turned pale and quickly disengaged their gun safeties.

Osborne, however, raised his hand, signaling them not to act.

He smiled at Rudy, showing no panic or fear in the face of the dark muzzle.

He even stepped forward, pressing the gun almost against his head.

He said calmly, "Go ahead, shoot me."

Rudy's face grew intensely cold. Osborne's provocative stance filled him with fury, a hint of murderous intent flashing deep in his eyes.

The next second, he moved abruptly.

"Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish. Go to hell!"

Rudy's finger pulled the trigger sharply.

The gunshot rang out suddenly, and smoke billowed from the barrel. Rudy's face initially bore a cold smirk, but it quickly turned to astonishment, then fear.

Instead of piercing Osborne's head as expected, the bullet stopped mysteriously at the muzzle, hovering in front of Osborne.

The muzzle was only four inches from Osborne's head, but the bullet couldn't cross that four inches.

"Are you a mind control metahuman?"

Rudy, as the deputy captain of the enforcement team, with his broad knowledge and experience, instantly grasped the key point.

Osborne had used mind control to block the bullet.

Rudy's face darkened as he immediately tried to retreat, but it was too late.

Osbome sneered coldly, his ocular energy forming into a fist, which he slammed fiercely into Rudy's face.

Rudy was sent flying, blood spurting wildly from his nose and mouth. The powerful blow flattened his nose, and he lay on the ground, unable to get up.

Upon seeing this, the other enforcement team members' faces changed drastically.

Without hesitation, they pulled their triggers at Osborne.

Intense gunfire echoed through the quiet Radcliffe Manor.

Osborne sorted coldly, and his ocular energy instantly enveloped a large area in front of him.

Every bullet that left the barrel was captured by the ocular energy, halting in mid–air, with not a single one able to approach Osborne's body.

The enforcement team members were stunned by this sight.

Osbome's expression was indifferent, with a hint of disdain

When his Satan's Eye had reached level three, it had gained abilities similar to mind control. This power was already exposed, and there was no need to hide it anymore.

Using mind control to deal with bullets was child's play for him.

He activated his mind control, and the densely packed bullets fell to the ground with a series of clinking sounds.

All the enforcement team members stopped firing.

They understood that continuing to shoot would be a waste of bullets.

They looked at Osborne with terror.

As Osborne took a step forward, they all took a step back in unison, their previous arrogance and pride replaced by panic.

They knew well that this world respected power above all.

At this moment, a group of people, led by Donna, emerged from the villa.

"What's happening here?"

"Who's shooting?"

"What on earth is going on?"

Donna asked urgently.

Behind her were Barlyn, Clarissa, and a handsome young man in his mid–twenties who exuded the air of a social elite.

"Ms. Donna Radcliffe, they were the ones who fired the shots!"

Violet stepped forward and quickly recounted the events, detailing how the enforcement team had arrogantly blocked Osborne and even fired at him.

Donna's face instantly turned grim.

She glanced at Osborne before turning to the young man and saying coldly, "Mr. Chevalier, your people are way out of line! This is the Radcliffe Manor, a sacred private domain. Osborne is our head of security, and not only did your men block him, but they also fired at him?"

Apollo smiled faintly and said, "Ms. Donna Radcliffe, it was just a misunderstanding."

He then took a serious look at Osborne and smiled, "A Class C mind control metahuman, not bad at all! It seems the Radcliffe family hasn't completely declined over the years, being able to find a Class C+ mind control metahuman to be Clarissa's head of security. I'm quite surprised."

After speaking, Donna's expression turned somewhat sour,

She could easily detect the mockery in Apollo's words.

Apollo was implying that the Radcliffe family had declined to the point of being unable to protect Clarissa without hiring an outsider, a mere Class C+ mind control metahuman as the head of security.

Donna was furious inside, clenching her fists but unable to refute

"Ms. Donna Radcliffe, don't be upset."

Apollo continued, "Since I'm back, such attacks will naturally not happen again. I'm now the captain of the Mayby City enforcement team, and I will send people to protect Clarissa personally from now on.

"I think your security team is unnecessary. It's just a waste of money. Since Clarissa is my fiancée, I have the responsibility and obligation to protect her. From now on, let me personally take care of her safety."

Upon hearing this, Clarissa's face changed instantly.

"That won't be necessary!"

Clarissa said urgently, "Mr. Chevalier, your status is noble. I wouldn't dare trouble you to protect me. If there's nothing else, Mr. Chevalier, please leave."

She glanced worriedly at Osborne after speaking.

Apollo raised an eyebrow. "Is that so? Very well, but I'm still concerned about your safety, Clarissa. I will leave some of my bodyguards to protect you.

"Don't refuse, or I'll be displeased."

Apollo finished speaking with an air of arrogance as if his displeasure would spell trouble for everyone.

Clarissa opened her mouth as if wanting to refuse again but was stopped by Donna.

"Since it's Mr. Chevalier's kind offer, Clarissa, don't refuse! Mr. Chevalier's security team consists of highly trained experts brought in from abroad with extensive experience in combat. With their protection your safety is assured."

Clarissa frowned, wanting to speak up but ultimately held back.

Apollo nodded with a smile. "That settles my concerns!"

He then selected six female bodyguards. "You six, from now on, protect my fiancée Clarissa diligently. If anything happens to her, you will pay with your lives!"

"Yes, Mr. Chevalier!"

The six women bowed immediately, their faces cold and robotic.

Everyone could sense the strong, murderous, and bloody aura from these six women. They were undoubtedly seasoned killers.

Finally, Apollo said, "Ms. Donna Radcliffe, Clarissa, I'll take my leave now! I will soon discuss our wedding plans with Sir Radcliffe."

"I hope our wedding will take place soon.

"What do you think, Clarissa?"

Apollo finished with a smile, causing Clarissa's face to turn pale. She bit her lip tightly, her expression growing colder without saying a word.

Osborne's face also changed dramatically.

"Discussing wedding plans?"

"The wedding will take place soon?"

Apollo and Clarissa were getting married?!
