Chapter 704 The Feud (9) Oscar Attains Power

Oscar pulled himself together and went on playing his role. He turned back, waited for the guard to finish reporting to Rowan and said, "Let's get out of here."

The guard saw the blood on his face and the wound in his arm, and said, "You did great today. I'll tell Mr Collins about it."

Apparently, Rowan had told them to keep an eye on him. To the Collins family, he was still untrustworthy. The guard said so because Oscar had won his trust by going all out to kill Melvin. Oscar nodded slightly.

They got in the car. The guard was driving, while Oscar was riding the shotgun seat. He looked out of the window, deep in thought, thinking about how he could reap the benefits after triggering the war between the two families.

He didn't kill Melvin, which meant Melvin would definitely get back at Rowan. And he would kill Melvin by then. But where had Melvin taken Hannah to? Oscar was in despair inside, but he just appeared as calm as usual.

They drove back to the Collins' Manor, where they were waiting for him. The surviving guard told them how they had managed to kill Melvin. Rowan wasn't happy because he didn't see Melvin's dead body. But more or less, he believed that Melvin had died after he heard Melvin got shot and fell down the cliff into the sea.

He was glad and told Oscar and the guard, "Good job. You'll be rewarded!"

"Thank you, Mr Collins." The guard said.

"Thanks, Mr Collins." Said Oscar.

"It's a long night. Go back and have some rest." Rowan said kindly, "You'll know what the reward is tomorrow!"

"Yes, Mr Collins," they said respectfully and tried to leave.

Right after they turned, a gunshot came into ears. Oscar tensed up. The guard, who was alive and spiritual just now, had died in front of him, with his eyes open. Probably, he hadn't imagined he would be shot after he completed the task successfully. He looked extremely twisted with the blood and grievance on his face.

Oscar was glued to the spot. He had no idea if Rowan would kill him as well. He had no choice but to roll the dice, hoping he was still useful to the Collins family.

"Oscar."

Oscar looked back and tried hard to hold back his fear, and said humbly, "Mr Collins."

He sounded a little shocked

"Don't worry. I won't kill you. I killed him because only one of you'll be entrusted with big tasks."

Oscar said nothing in response.

"From now on, you're the head of the army guards of the Collins family. You're supposed to lead them and knock out the Balderston family. You'll be heavily rewarded once you destroy the effective strength of the Balderston family."

"Yes, Mr Collins."

"Clean the wound first and take care. You'll be up to the neck. "

"Yes."

"Off you go." Rowan waved his hand.

Oscar bowed a little.

"Right, Oscar!" Rowan said all at once.

Oscar still looked very humble and respectful.

"Lillian likes you. You know what I mean."

"Sure. I won't let you down, Mr Collins."

"Smart! OK. Leave. "

"OK," Oscar said and left.

Rowan didn't restrain his excitement after Oscar left. So did Mathew and Sarah.

"Unbelievable! Oscar killed Melvin." Said Sarah.

"Do you see anything wrong? I can't be relieved without seeing Melvin's dead body." Said Rowan. He took out the phone and watched the video. They had put the mini-cameras on the guards and had seen everything. Melvin was shot before he jumped off the cliff. Probably, he was dead.

"Rest assured, father. He won't survive!" said Sarah firmly.

"No worries, father. Melvin is dead. We can take over the power of the Balderston family with that excuse. I bet many people will object to it. We'll send Oscar to take care of the shits and we'll just sit back and reap the benefits. By then, we'll have Northfield to our own." Said Mathew with excitement. He'd been waiting for this day, and he couldn't calm down when it suddenly came true.

Rowan heard it and watched the video again. Then he nodded with relief and said, "We can't take it lightly since we haven't succeeded yet. Stay awake till everything is settled." "Yes, father." Said Mathew and Sarah.

"It's late. Go back to your rooms and grab some sleep." Rowan said and stretched himself.

It was dawn. It had been a long night and he was exhausted.

"Father," Sarah said.

"Anything else?"

"Must Oscar die in the end?"

"What are you getting at?" Rowan was stunned and seemed to have sensed something.

"Don't get me wrong, father. I think Oscar is capable, and it's pity that he must die."

"He's capable and he's a big threat! You'd better keep yourself in line. Oscar must be doomed in the end."

Sarah nodded but somehow, felt bad.

Rowan said nothing else. They all went back to their rooms.

It was over 4 AM. Oscar went back to his place in the car sent by the Collins family. He was injured seriously but seemed to have felt nothing different. He looked out of the window until the car pulled over. Then he opened the door and got off.

Theodore returned to his apartment and stayed up all night long. He was scared to see Oscar back with blood all over.

"Minor injuries. No biggie." Oscar waved and said.

Theodore nodded and fetched the medical box swiftly. He told Oscar to sit down on the sofa and checked the wounds for him. He saw the pyogenic gunshot wound, frowned but said nothing.

"I let Melvin go." Said Oscar.

"Sure you did." Said Theodore calmly.

Oscar would drive himself crazy if he had killed Melvin and cared none about Hannah. After all, Oscar wouldn't live alone without Hannah.

"Take it easy. Heal soon. Roll with the punches. The worst is nothing more than being dead. No fuss!" said Theodore.
