260 The White And Black King On the Chess Board (2/2)

His intentions were crystal; he wanted to end both men association with his daughter. Li Yuan had been a golden opportunity to land Lu Xinyi in a safe haven but he was too smitten by that Raven head witch to look otherwise. Though both women wee replica

And Yu Youhan would be nothing but prove to be a stain on her. Firstly he was Li Yuan's fiancé and thus any association with him will prove to be a stain on her name anyway but there was also the fact that he was a free man with a reputation and flowing wealth, rendering no way for him to control him if his daughter ever got together with him.

Now he will have to guard her on his own, either if it was her heart or her life.

Li Yuan eyebrow queued up and all cheeriness drained from his face leaving an empty shell of coarse coldness, ”That's not of your concern, now is it?” He smirked in a taunting sinister manner and snarled, ”Father-in-law.”

Master Lu clenched his fist but reigned in his temper. The young man in front was too damn cunning and precarious for a slip of temper. His lazy smirk and the snide comment was his way of riling him up.

He was a predator, the deranged of all the predators, playing with its prey before striking. He was deliberately playing it cool, giving the opponent a sense of opportunity, an illusion of freedom when all along you were walking on this tread.

All the familiarity he had on his face, all the gentleness and patience he had when he was sitting-dining with that young woman.

When he would fill up her plate and hear her rant about the particular thing she didn't like and he would eat that peas and capsicum from her plate or while he would stare at her eat her food slowly was gone like it was all reserved for her all along.

This man, in front of him, was an enigma, a crazed prodigy who could take the world by a storm.

Master Lu exhaled then glanced at his lawyer who at once protruded a file toward them, ”I am here to terminate the contract. What would it take?”

At this point, Master Lu was desperate to elude his daughter's confrontation with the two men. They were no good news to her. They were angry and leading with a purpose and such reckless man with callous men didn't handle delicate things well.

In their struggle for power and dominance, they could cause his daughter immense harm. Yu Youhan had been associating himself in many of his deals and had been buying shares of his partners.

All of them were laying their pitches for the game brewing. Li Yuan was a man on a mission, others didn't but he had first hand seen how smitten he was with the girl. If his assumptions are correct and he really has the girl who was supposedly dead.

All of them could hear the battle's sirens. Li Yuan would stop at nothing to get her what she wanted and needed to settle the storm she had brewed and it wasn't going to be pleasant.

Unfortunately, his daughter was in the center of all the chaos, he needed to get her out of the cease fire when the fight broke out between the major power lords of the continent. Yu Youhan was trying to gain an upper hand too on his side but he needed to be cautious of Like Yuan first.

The cousins were a stark contrast to each other but they were both ruthless and unrestrained. Like fire and ice, a white King, and Black on the chessboard. Yu Youhan played fair but menacingly but Li Yuan played dirty underhanded tricks.

The corner of his lip turned up in a mocking sneer. He laid back on his seat and indicated his lawyer to come forward.

The lawyer jerked ahead and kept the documents on the desk and started reading the causalities, ”The mutuality of the contract has long been severed by the representative of the second party in the liaison of breaking the clauses 13.2, 6.5 and 3.3 by cohabiting with the opposite gender, skipping the ceremony ordeal and violating the agreement.

So the second party had been the one to compromise the deal thus the consequences shall be faced by the offending party unless... the second party can offer a significant alternative. Aside from them, the first party challenges the second party of alleged deceit with an imposter.”
