Chereads / The emperor's son in law / Chapter 16 - Stand up for me

Chapter 16 - Stand up for me

Madam Bennet's thoughts were naturally unknown to James. He walked steadily, with no trace of his killing intent hidden.

As the three of them walked out of the basement and just stepped out of the room door, there were several people waiting in the courtyard. The leader was Bennet Corey, the chairman of the Bennet Group. Following him were two shareholders of the Bennet family, Bennet Raul and Bennet Mack, who were also Bennet Corey's younger brothers.

As soon as Madam Bennet saw these three people, she immediately straightened her back and threw herself at Bennet Corey, pretending to cry and said, "As the head of the family, you must help me! You don't know, if you had come a little later, you might not have seen me and your son!"

Madam Bennet rushed into Bennet Corey's arms, turned her head and pointed her finger at James fiercely, "It's him! I just wanted to use his lowly daughter's heart to save my son. Even if he didn't thank me, it's fine. But he actually wanted to take my life!"

"As the head of the family, you must help me. I want them dead..."

"Shut up!"

Bennet Corey scolded, his voice full of anger and fear, even his body couldn't help but tremble.

Madam Bennet looked at Corey in disbelief. Had her husband changed his personality?

If it were before, whoever dared to harm her eldest son, Corey would be the first to take action. Why did he scold her today?

"Bennet Corey, have you gone mad? He bullied your son, and you didn't do anything. Now you're telling me to shut up?!"

Madam Bennet arrogantly stood up and pulled Bennet Ellis over from the side, pointing at the small wound on his head that he had just hit when he fell off the bed.

"You see your son, he's been beaten up, and you're still scolding me. I think you're crazy!"

"If you don't help me kill his whole family today, I'll go to my mother's house with my son tomorrow, and I..."

"Smack!"

A loud slap landed on Mrs Bennet's face, and Corey stared at her fiercely. "You stupid woman!"

"If you say one more word, I'll kill you now!"

Bennet Corey clenched his fists and looked up at James with fear in his eyes. He had already heard from his someone that this foolish woman not only offended this big shot, but also wanted to kill the big shot's child!

He was usually arrogant and protective of his family, but now he had to be brave.

When he entered the courtyard just now, it was surrounded by soldiers with weapons, thousands of them!

The leader, Wood Kevin, was someone he knew, a big shot who held heavy weapons in this area of Michigan.

And now, Wood Kevin could only play the role of a gatekeeper!

This woman, did she want his Bennet family to die?

"Thump!"

Without any hesitation, Corey knelt down on the ground, "Sir, please have mercy. My wife didn't know that she is your daughter, otherwise, even if she had a thousand or ten thousand guts, she wouldn't dare to harm your child."

"If you want compensation for your losses, my Bennet family will take full responsibility."

Bennet Corey lowered his head, begging for mercy in fear, and even dared not look at James's frightening eyes.

"Are you saying that if it's not my child, it's okay to kill?" James's cold voice rang in Corey's ears, causing him to shudder, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

If it wasn't James's child and was just an abandoned child of a poor person, then killing him would be no big deal. He could just pay some money to make up for it.

Looking at Corey's appearance, James's eyes became even colder.

"You people think you're so great just because you have some money?"

"You think you can play with other people's lives at will?"

James shook his head. "You can't afford the life of my child. You should be grateful that my son and daughter are okay. If something had happened to them, your entire Bennet family would have to pay the price."

"Now, I only want the lives of your wife and son. This is the justice I seek for my two children."

"Whether you agree or not is not important."

Bennet Corey's face turned ashen in an instant.

Here, James's command was like the death warrant of the King of Hell.

If James wanted Corey's wife and child dead, they would have to die.

"My lord, you can't do this."

"If you, my lord, can forgive us, please consider my wife and child as blind and I will compensate you. I can give you half of my Bennet family's wealth..."

"You don't understand what I mean." James interrupted Corey and picked up a kitchen knife from the ground.

This knife was used by a middle-aged man outside to scare another child just now, but of course, that middle-aged man was already dead.

"What I mean is that I want you to kill your wife and child with your own hands. This way, your Bennet family can survive.

Otherwise, anyone in your Bennet family who knows about this will die."

Bennet Corey's two brothers behind him trembled. In fact, they knew about this matter, and half of the Bennet family knew about it.

But no one tried to stop it.

If a lowly person could exchange for the life of their young master, then the death of that lowly person would be worth it.

"Clang."

The knife fell in front of Corey, who stood frozen in place.

How could he bear to kill his own wife and child? But if he didn't act, James would definitely destroy the Bennet family. James not only wanted his wife and child dead, but also wanted him to suffer a fate worse than death. Killing someone was like killing the heart. This was the justice that James sought for his own children.

"Are you out of your mind?" Mrs Bennet shouted angrily. "Why are you listening to this guy's threats? Who does he think he is?"

"Just send someone over to kill him. I've been looking for his daughter's heart for a long time," Mrs Bennet said.

"Smack!"

Another slap.

Bennet Corey stared at his wife, his hand trembling as he pointed to the door. "Who does he think he is? Let me tell you! There are thousands of armed soldiers outside the door. I was shaking when I came in!"

"Do you know how the Four Great Families were destroyed yesterday? This guy in front of you is the one who destroyed them!"

"Tell me, who does he think he is?"

Bennet Corey roared with all his might, his hand shaking even more violently.

Even if Mrs Bennet had offended the Hill family in the past, they could only lose their fortune. But the person in front of them was someone even the Hill family had to wait to be destroyed by.

"Thud."

Mrs Bennet collapsed to the ground.

James was actually that big shot!

Those two little beggars were the big shot's children.

"How is this possible..."

"It's impossible!"

Mrs Bennet kept shaking her head, her eyes full of disbelief.

But James didn't give her any time to regret.

"Bennet Corey, I don't want to repeat myself."

James's eyes remained unchanged, and he didn't care how much Corey was tormented in his heart, nor did he care how much Mrs Bennet and Bennet Ellis didn't want to die.

Because no one present had ever thought of living and supporting each other, and they all wanted to live and see the world.

"Three seconds, if you don't choose, I'll choose for you."

James took out the gun that Freya had given him and aimed it at Mrs Bennet's head. "Three!"
