THE LAST MINUTE GROOM : CHAPTERS 31 – 40
BY SIR ZACH
CHAPTER 35
Outside the house, Maverick was seen standing at the front of the entrance watching the battle going on a distance away from him.
Two buildings where the Lu servants resides were blown off by the bombs the assaulters used and Maverick was very sure that a few servants were killed.
Crossfire between men in brown suits and against men in Black suits.
The men of the three musketeers are known by their uniforms and badges.
Maverick’s men wear Black suits with the ‘LU’ tags on them. The Xu men wear brown suits with the ‘XU’ tags on them, and the Yu men wear ash suits with ‘YU’ tags on them.
Seeing the suits the assaulters were wearing, Maverick immediately knew they were the Xu men.
“Boss,” a young man hurried over with about thirty gallant men behind him.
“Leave no one alive,” Maverick commanded.
The young man wearing black suit with number 3 tagged below the ‘Lu’ on his chest bowed and joined the battle with his men.
He is code 3.
“Get the car and some MGs and drills,” Maverick said emotionlessly.
Code 10 whipped his head up before he smiled and bowed, “Yes, boss,” he walked away to get the things ready.
It’s been a few months since Maverick had gone to visit his enemies. Going to the Xu mansion by himself means that whoever gave the order has dug his own grave.
…
THE LAST MINUTE GROOM : CHAPTERS 31 – 40
Inside a brown mansion in the busy part of the City, a middle-aged man in a blue suit was seen standing by the floor–to–ceiling window with his phone to his ear.
It was apparent that he was making a call.
“Don’t worry about it, I already sent people to handle him. Hahaha… He shouldn’t have messed with my family’s business–”
“You imbecile! How dare you!?”
The angry voice of an old man interrupted the middle-aged man who rolled his eyes before disconnecting the call.
“Father, what do you want?” The man turned around to face the old man who didn’t look that old but was standing with a walking stick.
“You rascal, did you come back just to cause trouble?!” The old man raged.
The middle-aged man walked towards a black couch and sat on it. He crossed his legs on the desk and placed his hands at the back of his head.
He smiled. Probably from the way he enjoyed rolling the chair at his will or from the mess he was creating in the Country.
“Father, I left the Country for just 10 years and when I came back, it was the news of that riffraff causing trouble to our family.”
He put his legs down and sat upright with a cold face. “Father, don’t tell me that our family has degenerated to the point where we cannot crush that Lu boy? He doesn’t have the backings of his Lu family. He’s a one-man army… well, plus his little brother. So why didn’t you sweep them off the face of the earth ever since? You sent me out of the family and gave my son the rights you should have given me, all for what? To be a nobody? I’m sorry father, I can’t allow that. I came back home against your will to elevate my family and return us to the position we once were in the–”
“Shut up! What do you know? If only you hadn’t been such a useless child 10 years ago, if only you even studied and understood how things worked, you wouldn’t have made this mistake you just made! You want the betterment of the family? No, you only want its destruction and I won’t allow it!”
“Father, all I see is a weak and dying old man ranting. Three of our containers shipping out goods to other Countries were blown to nothingness in the sea by Maverick’s people. Ten percent of our drug farm was destroyed, and a few of our clients were snatched by the same person and you blame me for retaliating?! If Maverick isn’t dead today, I’ll send another batch of men to kill him tonight. His head must be brought to me by tomorrow morning!”
The old man stared at his angry–looking son and didn’t know what to start feeling. He was right, but if only the strategy was done to another family instead of Maverick.
“You, instead of the destruction of the whole Xu family, I’d rather choose to sacrifice you when he comes asking for you.” With that said, the old man turned around and stormed out of the study room.
The middle-aged man snorted after his father left. Who said he doesn’t know Maverick’s prowess? Thanks to that person who made him understand the history of the three families, if not he wouldn’t have understood that he could anger Maverick and get away with it.
“Hahaha, I wish I could see his raging face right now…. Maverick Lu, I’ll ruin you and make sure you never rise again. That will be my revenge for what your slutty mother did.” The man’s face turned sinister as he narrowed his eyes at the door.

A while later…
The majority of the Xus could be seen in the large sitting room that screams of abundant wealth. Men and women from the age of 20s to 50s sat on their respective seats while the old Patriarch sat on the head seat.
He swept his cold gaze over his children and grandchildren before he cleared his throat and said: “I called this meeting to know how to go about the issue Ming created.”
“The mistake has been made, the only thing we can do now is to call Davis to return.” One of the middle-aged men said.
“I also think that’s right. After all, the trouble was caused by his father.” A woman glared at Xu Ming who was arrogantly sitting on his own.
“How did he manage to come back? I thought he was banished?” A man with the same features as Ming said with hatred in his tone.
“Please, let’s not–”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Krah–ka–doom!”
“Rat–a–tat–tat–tat–tat–tata…”
“Pew-pew-pew…”
“Ka-blam!”
“Brrrrrrrrrrrt!”
Different sounds of explosives and gunshots rang loudly from outside the mansion, sending everyone in the sitting room into panic as the mansion shook several times 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 what 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.
THE LAST MINUTE GROOM : CHAPTERS 31 – 40
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.
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.
