Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom -
Chapter 70
70 Collecting more than he received
Different sounds of explosives and gunshots rang loudly from outside the mansion, sending everyone in the sitting room into panic as the mansion shook severally after every 'boom' sound was heard. "F*ck! What did you do!!?"
Someone yelled at Xu Ming who had a confused look on his face.
A boy of around 20 ran to the window which was bulletproofed to see what was happening outside and he screamed,
"Ahh!! Noooo!"
"Boom!"
The boy watched with his mouth and eyes widened as buildings after buildings collapsed.
Machine guns fired nonstop at the Xu men trying to hold their ground.
Well, they were never given time to prepare nor are they given time to breathe. All the guards wanted right now was to save their lives but Alpha Chaos' men weren't allowing it.
Some of the daring family members rushed to the windows to see how destructive the explosives were. Their main mansion which they all are wasn't touched but the other mansions that belonged to the sons and daughters of the Xu family were being blown to smitherness without the thought of who resides in them.
The old man's face turned uglier with every destructive sound he heard.
"Alpha Chaos!!!!" A youth screamed as he watched a building go down in shambles. His eyes turned red and his knuckles turned white as he balled his hands in fists.
"I wish oldest cousin was home," a young lady lamented as tears ran down her pretty face.
"It was all your fault!... Bang!" The man who had the same features as Xu Ming gave him a powerful punch on his jaw which sent Ming falling against the couch.
"How dare you hit me!" Xu Ming was about to retaliate when the old Patriarch slapped the hand of the chair he was sitting on. His face held so much rage that he seemed to be nearing the gate of death. "Enough!!" He roared. With fire brewing in his eyes, he commanded, "all of you, get back to your seats, right now!!"
Every member of the family didn't dare to take the old man for granted. He used to be the pillar of the family until he shifted the responsibilities to his oldest grandson, Davis. Even though it was so, the old man was still a force to reckon with. Just that he chose to be lenient with the family these days. Probably because of old age or whatnot. "Ming, you will be punished severely for this. But right now, we need to bear our losses..."
While the old man was addressing his family and trying to calm them from making another grave mistake, the war outside was getting tougher and tougher.
Outside the mansion, tens of buildings have been brought to shambles, only the brown mansion was

left untouched.
Machine guns, silence guns, long and short firearms, bombs, and all, were being put to use as men and women in brown suits fell to their deaths along with the buildings.
After a while, the battle subsided, No more bombs and machine guns, only the use of pistols. A black car drove into the huge compound that was now turned upside down- like an earthquake missed its
way
The black car drove silently towards the brown building.
Of course, the car was targeted by the surviving Xu men.
If they could kill an important person, their deaths would not be in vain, they thought.
Alas, how could they kill someone in a bulletproofed car?
As the bullets hit the car, they bounce off.
Soon, the car left the chaotic battle behind and stopped at the entrance of the brown mansion.
The car's door opened and Maverick stepped out with his gun in his right hand.
As he walked towards the entrance, he had two men following behind him.
The three men had dead looks on their faces. No single warmth could be spotted on them.
The Xu family members were stunned when the door exploded and Code 2 and Code 10 entered and stood by the door without taking another step forward.
"Wha-" Just when a family member was about to rage, he saw a leg with a black shining shoe step in through the threshold before the full body of a man in all black. Gasps broke out in the sitting room as the old Patriarch's breath hitched in his throat.
No one thought Alpha Chaos would appear by himself. They all thought he'd either send Rex or his
men.
'How serious is the damage Ming's people caused?' Same thought ran through their minds.
Maverick walked towards the family with Code 2 and Code 10 walking behind him.
On Getting there, everyone was already standing, he gently pushed a guy in his 20s aside and sat on the young man's spot.
Only the Patriarch wasn't standing in the first place. So some sat down with their hearts in their throats while others remained standing.
"Boy, you came," the Patriarch said like he wasn't worried, but if one listened well, they'd hear the nervousness in his voice.
"Hmm, you called me," Maverick replied with his eyes on his gun as he stroked it.
The Patriarch side-eyed Ming, the troublemaker who was giving Maverick a disgusted look.
"How bad is the damage my son caused?" The Patriarch asked.
"Not that bad..." Maverick raised his eyes to stare at the Patriarch, "...two of my houses were destroyed and few of my people were killed..." He mentioned them slowly. 12.09 @

The people's faces twisted in fury. Even the Patriarch couldn't conceal his dissatisfaction anymore.
Only two buildings and a few people were killed and Alpha Chaos came to level their mansions down and killed almost all the men in the residence, what impudence!
But who would dare voice it out?
The Patriarch forced himself to nod and say against his conscience, "not bad... what's the payment?"
"Father! Didn't he just destroy our properties too?!" Ming screamed as he glared at his father before he shifted his gaze to Maverick. "You punk! You ought to be the one paying for what you did to my Xu family! Everyone might be scared of you, but I'm not, and let me tell you this, I will not rest until I have your head!"
Xu Ming threatened and was about to leave the gathering when Maverick's cold voice rang in the quiet sitting room.
