Chapter 1160: Nikolas sat frozen behind the glass, watching them from inside the café.
Daniela acted like she didn't care, but as she crossed the road, she turned slightly, keeping an eye on Cedric.
Nikolas muttered a low curse under his breath.

Just then, Nikolas' phone vibrated with a new message. It was from the mercenary team he'd just hired.
"Mr. McCoy, we're backing out. Didn't the former mercenaries inform you?" Nikolas replied, "What?" "Cedric's wife is Clarinda, the leader of the Cealmaur." Nikolas read the message and let out a bitter laugh.
Without hesitation, he dialed the number and unleashed his fury. "You're pathetic! Just admit you're useless instead of feedingexcuses! It's been three years, and Clarinda is still missing. You're tellingyou won't take the job? Cedric is a soft-hearted businessman who wouldn't even hurt a fly, and Daniela looks so delicate that a breeze could knock her over. And you're tellingshe leads mercenaries? Don't makelaugh! If you can't do the job, I'll find someone who can. Don't waste my twith lies. I've got the money, and if I want Cedric dead, I'll make it happen. Mark my words, if you pass up this job, you'll never see another penny from the McCoy family again! Loser!" Nikolas then ended the call and immediately called his younger brother, Kohen McCoy.
"Kohen, those mercenaries are too scared to take the job. Get Dad's bodyguards forand do it discreetly." Kohen hesitated, glancing across the table at Hamilton, who sat watching him with a cold expression.
"Nikolas, what are you talking about? My sig-" Upd4t3s c0m3 F1RST On g4ln0v3lsBefore he could finish, the phone was yanked from his grip and put on speaker.
"What?" Nikolas asked, oblivious to what had just happened.
"Nothing. Listen, Nikolas, maybe you should focus on something else right now." "If I had something else to do, I wouldn't be calling you!" Nikolas seethed, still raw from Daniela's threat. "Didn't I tell you? Get Dad's bodyguards over here now. Cedric's gone too far!"

Nikolas frowned. "Kohen, what the hell are you saying? I don't understand. Cedric is Dad's illegitimate son. You Daniela, the former wealthiest person in the world. The men I sent after him previously have vanished without a trace. I need people who won't fail this tat killing these two. Dad's bodyguards are top-tier professionals and highly trained. Once they take—” Cedric's gotten are no idea.
"Cedric out, I'll be on the first flight back. Get them on a chopper to Olisvine immediately! I'm waiting!"
Hamilton's personal bodyguards ON were, in fact, elite assassins trained by the McCoy family since childhood. Their expertise in combat, firearms, and close-quarters fighting was unparalleled.
