Feeling annoyed, Frank freed himself from those guests' grasp.He grabbed the gun and rushed toward Daemon, wanting to kill him.
Right then, a helicopter flew by from a distance away.It was silver in color with a symbol of a gold snake.
The people on board were the designated army for the president.
Oliver immediately pulled Frank and said nervously, "The president here.We can't act recklessly."
Frank shifted his gaze to the helicopter in the sky and then to Daemon.
Meanwhile, Daemon was staring at him with a gaze that was full of mockery.He uttered coldly, "You have lost!"
Frank stopped in his tracks.
At that moment, he finally realized that the banquet tonight was not a trap he had set up for Daemon but the other way round.
Daemon had deliberately caused a huge ruckus with the intention to trigger Frank.
With that, he could gather the evidence of the crimes Frank had committed and end him completely at once.
"This is such an impressive scheme!"
As William watched the scene with his eyes narrowed, it finally hit him that he had underestimated Daemon.He always thought Daemon was merely skillful but arrogant and less experienced in the
power play.
Now, he finally knew that Daemon could easily keep everything within his control and turn things in his favor.
No one could come close to Daemon's confidence and arrogance.
"He's amazing!"
Holliga was all excited.He felt a sense of fear he had not had in the past when he looked at Daemon again.
Back then, when Holliga had gone against Daemon, Elina's aides had helped the latter resolve the matter.
Thus, Holliga and Daemon had not had the chance to fight each other head-on.
All these years, Holliga had only seen Daemon's skills in the business field and fighting but not his ability in the power play.
Finally, he got to witness it impressive.
He knows how to place his cards right! Other than his fiancée's appearance which was out of his expectation, every single thing was going according to Daemon's plan.
Frank, the vice president who was ambitious and an expert in the power play, was defeated by Daemon as soon as he made his move, and there was no room for Frank to even fight back.
Be it now or in the future, Frank could never turn things around.
"Holliga, have you figured out the situation? What exactly is going on now?" Gerard asked anxiously.
"Why would the president's army rush here at this time? Could it be..."
As soon as he said that, Gerard widened his eyes.
"Could it be that Daemon had already made an agreement with Mr.President to trigger Frank and take him down without him realizing?"
"You finally catch on to the situation."
Holliga sneered.
"That's why I keep telling you not to fight against Mr.Lierger because you wouldn't even know when your last breath will be."
Upon hearing that, Gerard felt his legs weaken, and he almost slumped to the ground.
Kevin hastily held him up and said, "Quick! Think of a solution! If not both our families will be doomed"
"How do you expect me to think of a solution? I've given my all this round.I-l..."
Gerard was on the verge of tears.
"Oh no, what should we do?"
"There's still a trump card"
Kevin cast his gaze upon Penny.
Right then, Penny stood rooted to the spot and stared blankly at the sky.
As though everything had finally clicked into place in her mind, she recalled what Daemon had said to her.He told her that if she was fond of Frank, he would not stop her from marrying him.
However, there was no need for that marriage if she only did it for the sake of her family's benefit.
Penny finally understood that Daemon had long seen through everything.He was strong and capable enough to fight against any forces.He did not have to sacrifice the person he loved for the sake of his family, and he did it.
Unfortunately, she did not get to understand that earlier.
"Oh, right! Your daughter can still save you."
Holliga let out a taunting chuckle.
"Considering that Penny still tried to beg Frank to let Mr.Lierger off even at the most critical moment, Mr.Lierger will definitely return the favor!"
Gerard heaved a sigh of relief as soon as he heard that remark.
Thank God! There's still a way out…
