Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

69 Payback time (1)

Outside the house, Maverick was seen standing at the front of the entrance watching the battle going on a distance away from him. 1

Two buildings where the Lu servants resides were blown off by the bombs the assaulters used and Maverick was very sure that a few servants were killed.

Crossfire between men in brown suits and against men in Black suits.

The men of the three musketeers are known by their uniforms and badges. 2

Maverick's men wear Black suits with the 'LU' tags on them. The Xu men wear brown suits with the 'XU' tags on them, and the Yu men wear ash suits with 'YU' tags on them. Seeing the suits the assaulters were wearing, Maverick immediately knew they were the Xu men. "Boss," a young man hurried over with about thirty gallant men behind him. "Leave no one alive," Maverick commanded.

The young man wearing black suit with number 3 tagged below the 'Lu' on his chest bowed and joined the battle with his men.

He is code 3.

"Get the car and some MGs and drills," Maverick said emotionlessly.

Code 10 whipped his head up before he smiled and bowed, "Yes, boss," he walked away to get the things ready.

It's been a few months since.Maverick had gone to visit his enemies. Going to the Xu mansion by himself means that whoever gave the order has dug his own grave. Inside a brown mansion in the busy part of the City, a middle-aged man in a blue suit was seen standing by the floor-to-ceiling window with his phone to his ear. It was apparent that he was making a call.

"Don't worry about it, I already sent people to handle him. Hahaha... He shouldn't have messed with my family's business-"

"You imbecile! How dare you!?"

The angry voice of an old man interrupted the middle-aged man who rolled his eyes before disconnecting the call.

"Father, what do you want?" The man turned around to face the old man who didn't look that old but was standing with a walking stick.

"You rascal, did you come back just to cause trouble?!" The old man raged.

The middle-aged man walked towards a black couch and sat on it. He crossed his legs on the desk and placed his hands at the back of his head.

1/3

He smiled. Probably from the way he enjoyed rolling the chair at his will or from the mess he was creating in the Country.

"Father, I left the Country for just 10 years and when I came back, it was the news of that riffraff causing trouble to our family."

He put his legs down and sat upright with a cold face. "Father, don't tell me that our family has degenerated to the point where we cannot crush that Lu boy? He doesn't have the backings of his Lu family. He's a one-man army... well, plus his little brother. So why didn't you sweep them off the face of the earth ever since? You sent me out of the family and gave my son the rights you should have given me, all for what? To be a nobody? I'm sorry father, I can't allow that. I came back home against your will to elevate my family and return us to the position we once were in the-"

"Shut up! What do you know? If only you hadn't been such a useless child 10 years ago, if only you even studied and understood how things worked, you wouldn't have made this mistake you just made! You want the betterment of the family? No, you only want its destruction and I won't allow it!"

"Father, all I see is a weak and dying old man ranting. Three of our containers shipping out goods to other Countries were blown to nothingness in the sea by Maverick's people. Ten percent of our drug farm was destroyed, and a few of our clients were snatched by the same person and you blame me for retaliating?! If Maverick isn't dead today, I'll send another batch of men to kill him tonight. His head must be brought to me by tomorrow morning!"

The old man stared at his angry-looking son and didn't know what to start feeling. He was right, but if only the strategy was done to another family instead of Maverick.

"You, instead of the destruction of the whole Xu family, I'd rather choose to sacrifice you when he comes asking for you." With that said, the old man turned around and stormed out of the study room. The middle-aged man snorted after his father left. Who said he doesn't know Maverick's prowess? Thanks to that person who made him understand the history of the three families, if not he wouldn't have understood that he could anger Maverick and get away with it.

"Hahaha, I wish I could see his raging face right now.... Maverick Lu, I'll ruin you and make sure you never rise again. That will be my revenge for what your slutty mother did." The man's face turned sinister as he narrowed his eyes at the door.

A while later...

The majority of the Xus could be seen in the large sitting room that screams of abundant wealth. Men and women from the age of 20s to 50s sat on their respective seats while the old Patriarch sat on the head seat.

He swept his cold gaze over his children and grandchildren before he cleared his throat and said: "I called this meeting to know how to go about the issue Ming created."

"The mistake has been made, the only thing we can do now is to call Davis to return." One of the middle-aged men said.

"I also think that's right. After all, the trouble was caused by his father." A woman glared at Xu Ming who was arrogantly sitting on his own.

"How did he manage to come back? I thought he was banished?" A man with the same features as

Ming said with hatred in his tone.

"Please, let's not-"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

'Krah-ka-doom!"

Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat-tata..."

Pew-pew-pew..."

ferent sounds of explosives and gunshots rang loudly from outside the mansion, sending everyone The sitting room into panic as the mansion shook several times after every 'boom' sound was rd. 1
