Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 430: Chapter 430: The Building is About to Collapse

"That wolf cub from district k should have been shot dead back then, otherwise we wouldn’t be in this situation. And Ariel, that ungrateful wretch, I fed and clothed her, made her the young lady of the East District, and this is how she repays me! All I asked was for her to marry someone. If she didn’t like him, she could find someone else after I got rid of that little wolf cub, couldn’t she?" Arthur slammed his fist angrily on the hospital bed.

"It’s not just the West District now; the police have joined in too. Over the years, we’ve gone head-to-head with them often, and some of our men have even secretly executed police officers. They’ve been watching us all this time, so now that we’re in such a big mess, they’ve jumped in too. Even though they’re not as vicious as the people from the West District, they’ve still taken a considerable advantage," Knight said grimly.

Arthur fell silent.

Everyone was smart enough to read between the lines of what Knight meant. Arthur didn’t need it spelled out for him, but understanding it made it even harder for him to believe and accept, and it made his heart ache even more.

"Things have come to this, but we still have half left. Once I get out of here, we can take it back. If I could win this territory back then, I can still do it now," Arthur said, touching his chest with a hint of melancholy in his expression.

Knight looked at Arthur’s significantly aged face and said, "Don’t kid yourself. The situation is far worse than we imagined. The territory we hold won’t last much longer. This place won’t hold. We used to conquer this city because we were young, and we had the strength to charge through danger. But now we’re old; we can’t fight anymore, and this city can’t be protected or reclaimed."

The sharp aura around Knight receded, and he seemed to be cloaked in winter’s chill, desolate and lonely.

And lying in the hospital bed, Arthur, who had been so keen on taking back what was lost, grew quiet. The silence between these two bosses enveloped the room, draping the ward in a wintry atmosphere, creating its own world in the midst of summer.

Xu Ke’s lazy voice came through the speaker, causing the undercover operative’s face to flush with embarrassment because he knew it was true, making his face
