Chapter 997 Who Dares Stop Me

• “Old Patriarch, that’s Yvonne White!”
• Dwayne North nodded again and again. “When Yvonne showed up in Yegu, I caught wind of it and rushed there overnight. After we captured her, I flew straight back to Taoyuan Island. I just didn’t expect Cecil North and Dwayne to chase us the whole way… I’m sure they’ll be here soon. I’m worried things could go sideways—yeah, we made it back to Taoyuan Island, but I know damn well a lot of elders on the island back Cecil North and Dwayne. I’ve got no one on my side. If those elders suddenly make a move, maybe they can’t kill me, but what if they accidentally kill Yvonne? Then what? I can’t exactly strike back and kill them all, can I? And even if I did, what’s the point? The family head and the elders are worlds apart in rank and power—like 1.5 billion miles! So I provoked them on purpose just now, to make a statement.”
• He paused, then went on, “I wanted to come in hard, grab their attention, keep their eyes off Yvonne. And if I could scare them into line, even better… but it didn’t really land. Sorry you had to see that.”
