The Heiress's Return: From Zen to Zenith-Chapter 1412

Chapter 1412: 653 Unlucky_4 Chapter 1412: 653 Unlucky_4 “A woman?” Count Onis found this simply ridiculous.

There’s a woman on this island?

And she dares to cause a stir?

Hasn’t she heard of Count Onis’s reputation?

Count Onis became interested and put on his coat to go out.

She was a woman with an Eastern face, dressed in a snug-fitting blue suit, with her long hair tied up in a high ponytail.

She looked spirited and compelling, exuding an air of courage.

...

Her pitch-black eyes seemed to leap with flames; on seeing him come out, they shot towards him immediately.

“You old fool, hand over Summer Anderson at once, or I’ll blow your brains out.”

Count Onis was even more interested, “I love this woman.

What a great day it is today.

Make sure none of you hurt her.”

Count Onis’s guards were quite helpless but had to comply.

After all, it was their lord’s command.

Loretta had never seen such a shameless old man.

She spat at him fiercely, “Keep dreaming.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she shot at Count Onis’s chest.

One of Onis’s guards immediately pulled him out of the way.

While Onis didn’t want her hurt, she still had a gun in her hand, which put his guards in a tough spot.

Count Onis’s eyes, however, were filled with excitement, “Lady, I am a man of nobility, with a manor and a fiefdom, and wealth that rivals nations.

As long as you’re with me, I guarantee you will be the happiest woman in the world.”

In response, a bullet came his way.

A bullet hit the arm of one of Count Onis’s guards.

At that moment, Count Onis finally cooled down.

“You Easterners have a saying, ‘No weeping until seeing the coffin.’ Since you refuse to appreciate my kindness, I guess there’s no need for courtesies anymore.”

Count Onis waved.

Two of the guards immediately dispersed, one to divert her gunfire, the other to cut off her retreat.

Finally, her bullets ran out, and Count Onis looked intrigued.

Loretta cursed, throwing her empty pistol at Onis’s face and getting entangled with the two guards.

Count Onis was amazed to find that this woman had formidable hand-to-hand combat skills, trading blows with his two guards without losing ground.

However, as the saying goes, one against two is a losing battle.

She quickly found herself cornered and was pinned down by both arms onto the ground.

The fact that she could fight for so long was astonishing to Count Onis.

Count Onis walked over, lifted her chin, and into a pair of beautiful yet defiant eyes, much like an untamed wild horse.

“Pah…” She spat a mouthful of saliva onto his expensive coat.

Count Onis frowned.

“Sir.” Delan Sparrow walked in anxiously, kneeling down.

“My wife is ignorant and careless.

She has offended you.

I hope you can forgive her for my sake.”

Count Onis frowned even more.

“She’s your wife?”

Loretta rolled her eyes.

Delan Sparrow lowered his head, “Yes, Sir.”

Count Onis snorted coldly, “Delan Sparrow, you have quite the nerve, letting your wife attempt an assassination on me.

Are you trying to rebel?”

Delan Sparrow immediately prostrated himself and respectfully said, “I have no disloyalty.

My wife and I have been childless for many years, and she views Summer Anderson…

that is, the child you brought back, as her own.

When she found out Summer was here, she was burning with anxiety and rushed in recklessly.

My lord, my wife is foolish; it is my fault.

Please punish me.

But Summer, being naughty as usual, came here to play heedlessly.

It’s my fault for not disciplining her strictly.

I promise to enforce strict discipline when I get back.

”

This almost sounded too good to be true.

But was Count Onis so easily fooled?

“Delan Sparrow, do you think I am that easy to fool?”

“My lord, Allegro Kent has commanded me to guard Beverley Island.

Although I am not a big figure, I am loyal to Allegro Kent, and he trusts me.

If something happens to my wife and Summer today, I would rather die than live.

I won’t be able to attend to Allegro Kent’s major affairs.

I wonder how you, count, will explain this to him?”

He was openly threatening Count Onis.

Despite his noble title, he had no actual power.

How else could he make deals with Allegro Kent?

He manoeuvred between the powers of various countries, utilizing his contacts to gain benefits.

Once Allegro Kent no longer supported him, what good would become of him?
