Chapter 5975
“That’s why. It’s only normal that I lost against him before this.”
Stefan Augustus seemed calm when he said those words.
Aryan Augustus looked confused.
Stefan had previously displayed prideful yet reckless behavior, a sense of resentment, craze, and helplessness, as a man who had his throne taken away from him.
Nobody in Aenar Temple would dare disobey him…
But that was simply out of fear.
Then again, Stefan looked like a different man then.
He was only a rabid dog who nobody dared to get close to…
But then, he became a brave wolf plotting to take back his throne!
His desire to fight back after enduring such humiliation was enough to strike more fear into people’s hearts.
“What should we do now, Mr. Stefan?”
Aryan took a deep breath, holding back the thoughts in his mind.
Stefan looked at the Scuva Mountains with a smile.
“If I were Amos, I would’ve scolded my subordinates before comforting them.
“I’d tell them to halt all operations that go against Harvey.
“After all, it’d be bad if the Osborne family was accidentally provoked!
“Amos is probably trying to keep Harvey down for the time being.
When we can’t hold him off, he’ll instantly step in and handle Harvey and us!
“After all, the stability of the Smalt Sect is most important to him.
“Surely he’ll come for me first before anyone else!”
Aryan pondered about the situation for a moment.
“You’re right about that.
“Besides, we have too little time. A part of Aenar Temple is trying to remain neutral as well.
“If Amos comes at us with full force…
“We’d suffer immense losses even with Great Wall Vaati’s help.”
Stefan dumped the rest of his fish food in the pond before smiling.
“If that’s the case, why should we let Amos do whatever he wants?
“He wants to provoke the Osborne family, right?”
Aryan froze.
“You’re saying…?”
Stefan crossed his arms without saying a word. He showed a profound look as he stared into the distance.
Naturally, the ambitious man was completely different from the open book he once was.
Since Amos wanted him dead…
Why not wish the same for him as well?

On the next day.
Neil Osborne exited the office before heading inside his decade-old Toyota Crown.
The driver was just about to start the car when a Toyota Alphard parked not far away. Mrs. Howell exited her car before approaching the other car.
The window slowly rolled down when Neil was seen with a smile.
“What are you doing here, Yasmin?” he asked after letting out a sigh.
“I told you to call me if you need me.
“This is a government building. It’d be bad if anyone saw us together.”
Not many people knew that Mrs. Howell, the wife of the outskirts’ Longmen branch leader, came from the Osborne family.
She was none other than Neil’s sister, who had a feminine name, Yasmin Osborne.
