Chapter 683 Coming Storm (5)

Upon hearing that, both Mathew and Rowan were stunned.

But meanwhile, they doubted his promise.

Oscar continued sincerely, "Mr Collins, I would like to risk my life for you as long as you can rescue my wife."

Rowan started sizing him up, "You really love her so much?"

"That's part of the reason. What Melvin has done to me had trespassed upon my bottom line. I know I am born inferior to both the Collins and the Balderston. However, my bottom line shall never be offended by anyone. I provided him with my loyalty. However, he offered me a threat in return. That's why I need Melvin to pay his price!"

"Great! That's the nature of a guy!" Rowan seemed to be amazed.

Though he looked like he was complimenting Oscar, he actually tried to draw him over to his side.

"Mr Collins, during the banquet, the killer will do something to mislead others to suppose that Melvin is the one behind after he finishes the assassination. When facing such a situation, Melvin would be likely to run away out of panic before he gets into trouble. But his sudden escape will function as a more certain proof to grow people's suspicion. However, it won't last long. Once a thorough investigation starts, he would be likely to be proven innocent. After all, it's merely a plot we set up. So..." Oscar continued to suggest with respect.

Both Rowan and Mathew were intrigued.

"So before there is light shedding on the truth or any chances for Melvin to defend himself, you gotta make sure he gets killed. That's to say, we gotta hunt him down as soon as he escapes from the banquet. Only then can we cover up the truth and also successfully eliminate our worst enemy, Melvin Balderston. Without his leadership, the Balderstons won't stand a chance against us."

After hearing that, Rowan nodded to show his consent. But he didn't present any answer to agree. Instead, he turned to look at Mathew. Also, Oscar's idea caught Mathew's interest.

If everything went on as Oscar planned, the Balderston family would be doomed, after which the Collins could dominate the country. At the thought of that, he couldn't help getting thrilled. So he hinted at his father as a response to agree. Both of them decided to join in the plot.

Rowan then continued, "We are satisfied with your plan. However, we need some time to further discuss it. After all, it's a risky action."

"Yes, sir." Oscar didn't intend to push them into a quick decision. As always, he feigned a humble look. He knew they would fall into his trap.

"Now you may dismiss yourself and wait for notice." Said Rowan.

Then Oscar left. As soon as he walked away, Rowan let out a great sneer, "Mathew, I didn't even expect him to come up with such a perfect plan. He actually made it! I did seriously consider it. And I am surprised to notice that it will possibly work! His plan covers every detail that could be of our concerns."

"Yeah, but we gotta stay alert. After all, he used to work for Melvin. Though he shifts his side, we still gotta keep our guard on him." Meanwhile, Mathew also found himself amazed by Oscar's proposal. Then he added, "I suggest we adopt his plan but never adopt the timeline."

"What do you mean?" asked Rowan.

"We can refuse his proposal first by telling him that we deem it a bad time to carry out. And we gotta insist that we should wait for a period of time, during which we pick the right time and then we notice him and ask him to carry out his part as we require. We do this to spare him no time to get himself prepared to conspire with Melvin and plot against us." Mathew concluded after consideration.

"Great! Mathew, you do live up to my anticipation! I believe your prime will come soon after we dominate Northfield." Rowan agreed to his proposal.

Upon hearing that, Mathew couldn't help grinning. Then he replied with great respect, "Dad, I promise I won't fail you."

Oscar kept on contemplating his way back. Of course, he knew the Collins would not simply agree to his proposal. Although Rowan would be likely to agree as he was too ageing to take every detail into consideration, Mathew, the one who had been staying by his side for years, had already grown to be as scheming as his father used to be. What was more, his mind of sophistication might have even outreached his father's.

But still, the plan Oscar proposed was too perfect to be ignored. Thus, they would be likely to pick up another day to carry out his proposal, Oscar supposed. Then he took out his phone to call Manuel, "Manuel, are you there?"

"Hey, Oscar." He could tell from Oscar's voice that there must be something going wrong. Especially when his tone sounded so serious.

"Get yourself ready for a trip to the Capital." Said Oscar.

"Right."

"You gotta figure out a proper reason to leave. For example, you can claim that you are gonna go on a business trip."

"Got it."

"Your yourself prepared. I will tell you when it's time."

"OK."

As Oscar was about to hang up the phone, Manuel asked again, "Oscar, what's going on? Is it something serious?"

"Yeah."

Though Oscar didn't further explain, Manuel could figure it out at most of the time.

As soon as he hung up the phone, he dialled Melvin's number, "Mr Balderston."

"I want to meet Hannah." Oscar requested.

"Oscar, don't push your luck."

"I have figured out a plot against the Collins. But before that, I gotta make sure Hannah is fine."

"Is it a threat?"

"I just wanna see my wife." Oscar insisted.

"Oscar, you gotta know that you have no right to bargain."

"I believe that we are partnering at the equal status and get what we want respectively." Oscar didn't intend to compromise.

Melvin started sulking about it since he felt like being threatened.

Then Oscar continued, "I ask for nothing but to meet her. Besides, I don't have the power to get her out of your place while you are still there. If not, I wouldn't have let you take her away." "You'd better avoid offending my bottom line." Melvin suddenly hung up the call.

Though he showed no obvious answer, Oscar believed he would finally compromise. After all, crashing the Collins had been Melvin's priority. Oscar's proposal to plot against the Collins was the greatest temptation to him.

As expected, a few minutes later, Melvin texted him, "Half an hour later, come to the Balderston Manor after you make sure you keep clear of all those tailing from behind."
