Chapter 366 Fell Into the Trap
+15 BONUS
The Masseys were bold enough to say they would kill Lincoln, but they were really biting off more than they could chew.
Lincoln was no longer the wealthiest man in the Two Lakes area, but he was still very powerful. He was also working for Caspian, which meant that he was more confident.
“Mr. Lynch…” Kevin started nervously.
“You can go back now. Remember what we discussed just now, on what you should or shouldn’t do. If you don’t…” Caspian looked at Kevin sharply.
“Yes, I will. Don’t worry, Mr. Lynch!” Kevin said, nodding.
Caspian had not finished his sentence, but Kevin knew what he wanted to say nonetheless. His only route out was to topple the Masseys any way he could. He would be affected otherwise.
“Mr.
“Mr. Lynch, I promise I’ll report all information I obtain about the Masseys to you!” Kevin promised, sounding certain.
Saul and Jessica treated him like a dog. Kevin was not dumb, either. He needed to prioritize himself and ensure the Copelands would not be affected should the Massey family collapse.
Otherwise, things would be terrible for the Copelands.
Looking at Kevin’s retreating back, Caspian waved at Bernard, who read his intent and thus followed Caspian out of the room.
Kevin was still the Masseys‘ son–in–law, after all. They still needed to be cautious when it
came to him.
Bernard followed Kevin quietly. If Kevin dared tell someone else about what had happened today, his death would surely be near.

“Lincoln, it seems that the Masseys want you dead. Do you have any plans for that, I wonder?” Caspian asked, looking at Lincoln.
“I’ll kill anyone who stops me, regardless of how powerful they are. If the Masseys dare move against me, I’ll give my all, and they’d better not blame me for that,” Lincoln said with a smile. His eyes glinted with murderous intent.
Everyone knew Lincoln conducted himself differently since he started working for Caspian.
“Great. I’m eager to see how you’ll do. I have something else to attend to, so I’ll take my leave
now.“!
After saying that, Caspian left Zott Manor.

That night, it was quiet outside Zott Manor. Not even the sounds of wind rustling the grass
could be heard.
A group of men clad in black suddenly surged out of the darkness, one after another. Their faces were all covered by masks, and their gazes were cold. They looked like they could kill with their gazes alone.
“Dad, everything’s ready. We’re just waiting for your command,” Jessica said excitedly.
This was her first time taking part in an operation such as this. Also, this battle was one they had to win.
Saul was nervous as well. He had to kill Lincoln, or he would end up losing his position as head of the family. To achieve that goal, he employed every method he could think of and utilized every resource he had.
Several hundred men were involved in this operation, and all of them were tier–three experts trained by the Masseys.
“How’s the investigation going?” Saul did not respond to Jessica but instead turned to Kevin.
“Dad, I’ve gotten almost all the information you require. Caspian has left Zott Manor, and Lincoln is the only one left inside. All his subordinates have left to attend to their business, too, so not many people are in the residence now,” Kevin said in deference.
With only a few subordinates protecting Lincoln, things would be easier. Otherwise, the Masseys‘ side would find it difficult to kill Lincoln within a short time.
“Strike!” Saul ordered decisively with a wave of his hand.
Their men gathered near them, one after another..
“Lincoln has been so bold as to take our territories that we’ve painstakingly maintained away from us. We must kill him! Kevin, take the lead and charge with these men!” Saul said
vindictively.
“Huh? Me?” Kevin was stunned. He was not a martial arts fighter, yet Saul wanted Kevin to lead the charge despite that. He was basically sending Kevin to his death!
“Why not, you good–for–nothing bastard? You’re young and have a strong physique. Who’s going to lead if not you, me and my father?” Jessica snapped exasperatedly.
“Kevin, if we kill Lincoln this time and take our territories back, the Masseys will surely reward you handsomely!” Saul said with a smile.

Kevin opened his mouth to refuse but dared not utter a word upon meeting Saul’s malicious gare. He knew he would not live past tonight if he were to say no.
“Leave it to me, Dad. I’ll kill Lincoln!” Kevin said, feigning nonchalance.
“That’s great!” Saul laughed. “I know you can do this, Kevin. Go! Jessica and I will wait here for good news from your side!”
What a sneaky old fox he was!
Kevin cursed internally.
They just wanted to make him the cannon fodder of this battle, yet they had phrased it so nicely. Did they really think he was that stupid?
Fortunately, he had been cautious and had prepared a way out. The ones meeting an unfortunate ending would not be him but Saul and Jessica.
“Men, charge!” Kevin shouted, raising his arm. With that, the men charged forward.
Looking at their retreating backs, Jessica said in disdain, “Can this good–for–nothing really do it, Dad?”
“It’ll be fine either way. If he ends up killing Lincoln, that ‘ll be nice. If he can’t do it, we can just leave, and this incident won’t be connected to us at all,” Saul said with a smile.
He did not care about Kevin’s fate at all. There was also no expression on Jessica’s face as if Kevin was not her husband but just a stranger to her.
“Kill them! Charge!” the men shouted as they fought in Zott Manor. Their voices could shake
the earth.
About a dozen minutes later, Kevin came back and said to Saul, “Dad! I’ve already settled everything. Lincoln is apprehended and all for you to deal with!”
Saul and Jessica looked at each other in bewilderment. They were euphoric, though. They did not expect this bastard Kevin to be somewhat useful.
“Let’s go!” Without doubting Kevin’s words, Saul charged into the villa with several men.
behind him.
However, the moment he entered the residence, he was stunned. Corpses lay all over the ground, which was all bloody. The stench of blood was also nauseating.
These men were all fighters under the Masseys, while those of the Zott family’s subordinates. were nowhere to be seen.
“Something’s not right!” Saul suddenly felt terror overcome him, but it was already too late.
With a loud noise, the door to the villa banged shut.

“Crap, we were tricked!” Saul knew this did not bode well for him, but the door could not be opened no matter what he did.
Saul’s expression turned grim. He roared, “Where’s Kevin, that bastard?”
“Dad! I have no idea where he went. I didn’t see him when I came in, either!” Jessica’s face had
paled in fear. She had no idea what to do in this situation.
Only at this moment did Saul realize what had happened. Kevin had betrayed him!
