Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth
Chapter 929

Chapter 929 The Outbreak of War (5) Surrounding Rowan

Rowan looked at Lillian coldly. He was unmoved by his daughter's desperate pleas.

"Lillian, if you really want to die, then go ahead and die! Don't delay my great cause because of you!" "Father, is power really that important? Are you gonna give up your family?" Lillian cried out in despair.

"Family?!" Rowan sneered, "There are so many family members, one more or one less won't make a difference. Do you think your mother died accidentally all those years ago? It was because she got in the way of my development!"

"Father!" Lillian screamed from the depths of her heart, "How could you be so insane?"

"If I wasn't insane, how could I have developed to where I am now?! How could I have given you such good conditions? My brothers would have killed me long ago. How else could I become the only heir to the Collins family?"

Rowan was completely unaffected by his daughter's accusations and revealed his true face at this moment. He continued cruelly, "Lillian, don't try to threaten me with yourself! To me, if you die it's like a dog dying!"

"Rowan!" Lillian screamed.

Rowan gave a cold smile. It was a terrifying face that Lillian had never seen before. She never knew that her father who had always been very good to them siblings would treat them as mere tools.

Her tears fell uncontrollably. At this moment, it didn't matter if she died, but Una would be implicated and even Oscar would suffer.

She regretted everything.

Rowan didn't care about Lillian's emotions at all; he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Mr Collins, something bad has happened!" A subordinate suddenly rushed over quickly with a trembling voice.

"What happened?!" Rowan's face darkened immediately upon hearing this news.

Something big had happened.

"We're surrounded!"

"What?!" There was panic on Rowan's face for an instant.

"It's Commander's men who did it; they've already surrounded us completely! I tried contacting our people for support but we can't reach any of them now. I suspect we've fallen into his ambush!" The subordinate spoke quickly and urgently.

"Damn it!" Suddenly cursing loudly, Rowan turned around readying himself to leave immediately. As he turned to leave, Rowan suddenly spun around and faced Lillian.

"You betrayed me, you bitch!" Rowan roared.

Lillian laughed sarcastically. She wished it was her who had betrayed her father, but it wasn't. In fact, she was even helping this insane man. However, his father still fell victim to the scheme.

It could only mean one thing-she had been played for a fool, being used by Oscar too.

How ironic!

She thought her father loved her all along. And she thought Oscar truly cared for her as well. But in the end, she was nothing more than a tool for them.

Rowan might have wasted time on Lillian, so he quickly left instead. As he walked out of the hall and looked through the video surveillance screen, he saw that outside there were guards surrounding him tightly.

Suddenly his phone rang.

Rowan glanced at it and answered fiercely, "Oscar!"

"Defect from your army and I'll spare your life." Said Oscar in a cold-blooded voice, slowly and deliberately.

"You wish!" Rowan shouted back loudly, "Don't forget Una is in my hands!"

Oscar sneered sarcastically with a contemptuous smile on his face that made him look so dismissive of everything around him.

Rowan's hand holding the phone trembled slightly as he tried to suppress his anger inside.

"Do you really think she can make me give up everything I have now or will soon possess? Would you give up everything you own or are about to own for your child?" asked Oscar rhetorically with ease. Rowan suppressed his immense fury within himself.

"And besides," continued Oscar nonchalantly, "Una isn't even my biological daughter anyway; I've already secretly sent my real son away somewhere safer long ago."

"It's all just a game." Said Oscar lightly without any hint of concern whatsoever.

"Oscar!" Rowan called out harshly to him.

He never expected that despite being so smart all these years, he would be calculated by Oscar to such an extent today.

"But when you asked for peace and I agreed, it was only because at the time I was suffering heavy losses in my fight against the Jun family. I didn't have confidence that I could still beat you, so when you offered peace, I naturally accepted it. Then, in secret, I strengthened my own power and made myself stronger while also making you think that Una was important to me. You all thought that there was nothing I wouldn't do for her and relaxed your guard against me." Oscar spoke with a cold tone filled with sarcasm, "But as a result, Mr Collins, such an intelligent man, fell into my trap!"

"Enough!" Rowan couldn't bear to listen any longer. He couldn't accept being forced into this situation by Oscar. If he hadn't truly believed in Oscar's strong attachment to Una, he wouldn't have become so radical; he thought controlling Una meant controlling Oscar.

As expected, those in power were all ruthless masters. Oscar had really fooled him and even fooled everyone else.

"I don't want to be too extreme about this, since if something happens to you, it won't look good for me publicly either. Of course, if pushed too far then maybe killing you would be necessary, using force agains force; there is nothing that can't be suppressed." Oscar said lightly, contrasting Rowan's anger, "But if we can replace a way where both of us benefit then there's no need for either of us to suffer." "What do you want?" Rowan asked harshly.

"It's simple. Surrender now without any resistance and we won't harm anyone or anything under your command." Replied Oscar calmly, "Afterwards, I'll send you abroad with enough wealth to ensure a peaceful life during your old age."

Rowan didn't answer back immediately.

Oscar didn't say much more either.

"I'll give you half an hour to think about it; otherwise we will attack!" said Oscar.

The phone call ended abruptly without any hesitation from Oscar, who left behind just one hint of his attachment towards Una, which wasn't lost on anyone listening in on their conversation, including Rowan, who looked extremely unhappy now.

Matthew beside him was anxious beyond words, "Father, what should we do now? We can't just switch sides like this."

"Absolutely not!" Rowan said fiercely, "Oscar may sound nice but he definitely won't spare me! He will go all out until every last root is destroyed! If he has come this far then there's no way he will stop halfway through!"

"So what should we do?" Mathew seemed scared out of his wits

He had thought they would make Oscar pay the price this time around. But little did they expect, they were about to be taken down by Oscar instead.

"We're surrounded by Oscar now, and there's no way we can escape unscathed. But, Oscar can't just kill me like this either. I have support from other countries. If things don't work out in Northfield. As long as we leave safely, I'll come back even stronger!" said Rowan.
