Chapter 107 In the Bernardo Family

Inside the Bernardo Castle's basement, Bo Ang had been there for three days. Just as Jaden had said, he had witnessed the entire coup in Bana City, saw Tagu take over everything with great ambition, and then saw him lose everything, including his life, in less than a hundred hours...

Bo Ang's lean body sat in a wheelchair, twitching nervously. He was covered in the stench of stale food and urine, and looked utterly listless.

"I'm sorry, my brother...!" Booker, dressed in a smart suit, looked energetic and imposing: "I don't know how Jaden arranged things! But I feel guilty and apologetic!"

Bo Ang looked at him, his voice trembling: "You didn't forget your son, but you left your own brother here... I'm familiar with everything in the Bernardo Manor, but I don't know what I should do."

Booker stepped forward, slowly squatting down and stroking his cheek: "Forgive me. I'm your only close relative in this world. I sincerely apologize to you. This will never happen again."

"Tagu didn't kill... kill me," Bo Ang's voice trembled. "He didn't execute this burdensome brother for you! Are you disappointed... brother!"

Booker looked into Bo Ang's resentful eyes. Even his hardened heart melted instantly. Booker and Bo Ang had grown up in less than ideal circumstances. Their mother had died early, and when Tagu's mother was alive, she often allowed the servants to bully them.

Booker had reached his position today through forbearance and compromise. He had long been accustomed to the ugliness of human nature, and he had severed all emotional ties in his heart.

Perhaps, apart from his son, only Bo Ang, his disabled brother, could stir the emotions of this cold-blooded politician.

Although, in a critical moment, even these things could be discarded...

Booker stroked Bo Ang's cheek: "Don't say that, Bo Ang. For me, failure is death. I love you, but in some things, I have no choice. It's a contradiction, isn't it?"

Bo Ang looked at Booker, seeing tears slowly streaming down his face.

"I swear to God!! You will never be hurt again! No one can bully us!! Never!" Booker was like a paranoid madman: "I hate everything in this family! But thankfully, I spent a long time killing it all! Now it's just you and me. From today, this is our home!"

Bo Ang lowered his head, tears flowing: "I'm sorry, Booker, I can't feel it anymore...!"

"Don't be so cowardly, Bo Ang! If I didn't act, we would be the ones who died. That old guy Nick would compromise with Tagu. I'm the Chief Executive, and even if Tagu didn't kill me, those politicians under him would." Booker calmly wiped Bo Ang's shoe: "The Bernardo family's creed is to strangle danger in the eternal night. That's what Nick taught me. It's a pity he never accompanied us in life, but he taught us a lot of practical things. I'm grateful to him!!"

Bo Ang was silent.

"I've already planned your future," Booker said softly. "You'll be the youngest Chairman of the Legislative Council in Bana City. After thirty, you'll take over the position of Chief Executive. You're a genius in a wheelchair!! I say you are, and you are!"

Bo Ang stared at him blankly, without responding.

"Let's go, leave with me. I'll push you to the front, don't be nervous when you face the flashing lights. Those people are all believers of the Bernardo family. You just need to tell them truthfully all the crimes Tagu committed!! And Nick's despicable shamelessness! You have to tell those listeners about the humiliation and unfair treatment you suffered as a child!!!" Booker said here, grabbing Bo Ang's shoelace tightly, paused and said, "Look, your shoelace is untied again. I'll tie it for you. From now on, I'll push you...!"

"Puchi!!!"

Booker had only spoken halfway when a pipe knife was pulled out from the wheelchair armrest and stabbed fiercely into his neck!!

"Ugh...!"

Completely unprepared, Booker fell to the ground with a thud, his clean suit stained with blood.

Bo Ang's hand trembled as he gripped the pipe knife, looking at his brother with tears in his eyes and said, "I want to walk the rest of the road myself!! Brother!!"

Booker looked up at his brother with a pale face: "You... you...!"

"No one would be wary of a cripple who can't even tie his own shoelaces, especially when that person... is your puppet brother in a wheelchair, right?!" Bo Ang slowly pulled out the knife and stabbed again with a puchi: "Just like a father would never be wary of his son!! Right?!"

"Puchi!!"

Booker spat out a mouthful of blood.

Bo Ang's withered hands gripped the wheelchair armrests, his whole body trembling as he slowly stood up.

Booker had been stabbed twice in the neck, and blood was spurting wildly. His left hand reached behind him, trying to retreat: "Why... why!!"

"I... I don't know who to trust anymore, maybe I can only trust myself!" Bo Ang's body trembled, but he still walked in front of Booker and stabbed down with a knife: "I love you too, I have no choice either!! Because I want to tie my own shoelaces for the rest of my life!!"

"Ah!!"

Booker rushed up like a madman, reaching out to strangle Bo Ang's neck!

"Bang!!"

Four guards heard the noise and rushed in immediately. They were slightly stunned when they saw Booker facing away from them, rushing towards Bo Ang!

"Puff puff puff...!"

The sound of silenced automatic rifles echoed from behind the utility cabinet. The four soldiers were headshot in a barrage of concentrated fire!!

Su Tiannan walked out, immediately went to the door, dragged the corpses inside, and closed the door!

Booker was covered in blood, turning his head woodenly to look at the utility cabinet, his eyes shocked, but the pressure of blood on the arteries in his neck meant he could no longer speak!!

The knife that Bo Ang pulled out from the wheelchair armrest, perhaps he had only installed it after Tagu's death, or perhaps he had hidden it for many years!!!

Hidden in this family full of conspiracies and calculations!!!

Bo Ang watched Booker slowly fall, straightening his body with all his strength: "...I... I can walk myself, no need for you to push me, Booker!"

Su Tiannan, who had been hiding in the storage room for two days, reached out and covered Booker's mouth, giving a wink towards the storage cabinet.

…

Hua District, Yanbei City!

Nanhu City Mayor Qin Ziyi, said softly to a burly old man, "Dad, if there are no problems with this plan...!"

"What did Old Meng say?" the old man interrupted.

"His words... were very crude."

"Speak!" the old man glanced at him with dissatisfaction.

"He said that the area of Hua District where we piss is bigger than Bana City! He's too lazy to deal with a battle of less than 50,000 people, and wants us juniors to handle it ourselves," Qin Ziyi said, swallowing.

The old man was fixing his grandson's toy: "Old Meng has the capital to say that, but you don't. Don't underestimate the enemy!"

"I know, Dad!"

"Let the horses go, flatten Bana City!" the old man pointed at Qin Ziyi and said: "If you don't do well, the Mayor of Nanhu City will be the end of the line!"
