Chapter 983 Make Her Regret
Right after he spoke, a team of highly-skilled bodyguards materialized in front of them.
Their swift arrival caught Lily off guard, leaving her bewildered at their sudden appearance.
It was clear to her that these formidable bodyguards possessed skills far beyond what she had anticipated -each one capable of overpowering ten opponents with ease.
She belatedly realized that her men were no match for these bodyguards.
Narrowing her gaze, she scrutinized the man standing in front of her. “Who are you exactly?”
It dawned on Lily that an ordinary person could never afford to train so many highly skilled bodyguards.
“That isn’t important. What’s important is that you’ll meet your doom today!” Tristan couldn’t be bothered to spare her a glance again.
We are totally capable of crushing Lily, so there’s no need to worry at all.
“Capture her alive!” he ordered his bodyguards.
“Yes, Mr. Tristan!”
In a flash, both parties engaged in an intense shooting while Bertram’s responsibility was to protect Arthur and the rest.
In the face of overwhelmingly powerful opponents, Lily’s men were taken down in less than ten minutes. to her dismay.
She had entirely become a sitting duck.
The moment Lily attempted to escape, Sophie shot the former in the leg. Lily collapsed to the ground, overcome with despair. When she mustered the strength to look back, she locked eyes with Sophie’s piercing, icy blue ones.
“D”mn it!” This Sophie is seriously infuriating!
“Ms. Sanders!” her subordinates called out in desperation.
Sadly, there was nothing they could do.
Under the false presumption of their own strength, they inadvertently offended someone who proved to be a hundred times more formidable than they could ever imagine.
“Clear the scene!” Sophie instructed Bertram.
He nodded and immediately got to work. The majority of the wounded and casualties were members of Lily’s own forces.
Then, Lily was taken to Tristan and Sophie.
She was beginning to feel a twinge of regret at the sight of them. I truly shouldn’t have provoked these two people.
“Mr. Tristan, please forgive me. Can you spare my life? If you do, I’m prepared to relinquish everything I possess in Fandar.”
Her fleeting hope had been overshadowed by the realization of the vast disparity between her and Tristan.
After all, only an individual of considerable influence and power could afford to employ such skilled bodyguards.
“Spare your life? Lily Sanders, we already gave you a chance at the competition. You shouldn’t have come all the way here to harm Mr. Camidge and the rest!” Sophie snapped.
There was no way she’d spare Lily’s life.
“I…” Lily felt utterly helpless as despair clawed her throat.
“That’s enough. You should attend to Mr. Camidge’s wounds now,” Tristan told Sophie, aware of her concern for Arthur.
“Mm.”
Sophie was in a hurry to tend to Arthur’s wound and didn’t want to waste time talking to Lily.
“Mr. Tristan, I’m truly willing to give up everything if you agree to spare my life!” Lily implored desperately. The prospect of perishing here left her utterly devoid of hope.
“Bertram, tie her up there!”
“Yes, Mr. Tristan!”
Bertram commanded his men to bind Lily tightly to an iron pole. The sun blazed fiercely that day. intensifying Lily’s torment without any additional effort required from them.
After she was tied up, Tristan asserted, “Keep an eye on her. If she manages to escape, you all will suffer the consequences.”
He would never forgive anyone who provoked Sophie.
“Mr. Tristan!” Lily screamed in hopelessness.
Bertram kicked her wounded leg and warned, “Stop yelling. Ms. Tanner is the apple of Mr. Tristan’s eye. Do you really think he’ll let you off easy after you offend her?”
“Bertram, please let me go! If you do so, I can offer you anything you desire, be it money or status.”
“Hal” The man sniggered.
I can’t believe she’s still trying to make me defect to her at this moment!
“People like you will never understand. I’ll never betray Mr. Tristan. So, enjoy your time here! I can already envision the dreadful fate that awaits you.”
Bertram could still remember what happened to Kaarle and the others.
In the bedroom, Sophie was currently tending to Arthur’s wounds.
Lily had shown him no mercy, leaving him severely battered and bruised, albeit the wounds were merely superficial.
“Ms. Tanner, I assure you, I’m fine. There’s no need to worry,” he reassured Sophie upon noticing her solemnness.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Camidge. It was my fault for mishandling the situation, leading to your injury.
Had I dealt with Lily earlier, these things wouldn’t have occurred today.
“Ms. Tanner, how can it be your fault? This is the norm in this area. Those who seek to exert dominion will always attempt to oppress us.”
Arthur knew this genuinely had nothing to do with Sophic.
“Your injuries are superficial, but please make sure to avoid consuming any alcohol for the time being. Zen, remember, don’t allow your grandpa to have any alcohol, got it?” she instructed Zen Camidge, Arthur’s grandson.
Zen nodded profusely. “Don’t worry, Ms. Tanner! I’ll monitor him.”
He had always admired Sophie and would never go against her word.
“Good. Mr. Camidge, I’ve already captured Lily Sanders. You guys can do anything you want with her.” Sophie told Arthur.
“Mm. Thank you, Ms. Tanner,” the man replied weakly.
“Get some rest, then. I’ll come visit you tomorrow.”
“Okay!”
Tristan had also entered the room. Seeing that Arthur was fine, he ultimately said nothing.
Sophie then stood up and left with him.
“How do you plan to deal with Lily Sanders?” he inquired.
“Mr. Camidge will decide her fate. Before he does that, leave two bodyguards here,” came her reply.
This time, they would never let her escape.
“Got it.”
Meanwhile, the bigwigs had congregated.
“That Mr. Tristan is no ordinary person. Lily Sanders is seriously doomed this time.”
“What do you all think? Should we submit to them?”
“Let’s just observe for now. It seems that Mr. Tristan intends to exert dominance over all of us. We’re uncertain of his true capabilities yet, but his ease in overpowering Lily suggests he must be an incredibly formidable individual.”
“Agreed. It is crucial that we stand united this time. If we engage in separate battles, we will undoubtedly face a disastrous defeat.”
“You’re right. No matter what, we need to protect our own interests,”
After all, they had gathered here for the sake of money.
In the base’s conference room, a large screen displayed the information of the rest of the bigwigs
If Tristan and Sophie intended to establish a new order here, they’d have to get rid of those people.
“Mr. Tristan, I’ve gathered all the available data on these individuals,” Bertram reported, showcasing his diligence during his time here.
