Chapter 712 Loving Her With His Life (Part Two) (1/2)

Mark looked at Shirley. Although reluctant to leave, he nodded. He kept looking back at his grandparents and the operating rooms as he walked with Antonio to the elevator.

The surgeries were still ongoing. Richie and Shirley were waiting in the hallway, pacing back and forth anxiously. Antonio came back to the hallway once Mark had fallen asleep. When he saw Antonio, Richie turned around and walked to the elevator and Antonio followed silently.

It was late summer and the wind was a little cold already. Richie stood on the hospital terrace, his hair stirring in the light breeze.

”Young Master, the situation has taken a complicated turn,” Antonio reported.

”The members of the State Parliament are still stirring things up,” came Richie's voice, as cold as icicles. ”They don't care about the development and safety of their country. They are nothing but a bunch of petty, cunning weasels who would do anything to stay in power and to get more of it.”

”About Mr. Brian Long's accident...” Antonio said hesitantly.

”They are going to pay.” Richie's tone was ruthless.

Antonio stared at Richie's back in surprise. He hadn't heard Richie speak in that terrifying tone ever since he had left Dragon Island with Shirley and had taken over the XK Intelligence Agency.

”The State Parliament was definitely a part of today's accident. Brian has been carrying out his plan perfectly. However, this whole thing with the State Parliament needs to be settled soon. This is a ticking bomb, which needs to be neutralized at any cost,” Richie said.

”Yes, Mr. Long,” Antonio answered with a nod.

Looking up at the starry sky, Richie went on, ”The re-election is about to begin.”
