Chapter 620 He'll Certainly Lose

He paused for a moment before adding, "It was Laura, right?"

Deirdre was shocked. Declan could tell that he had guessed right by looking at Deirdre's expression. He smiled lightly and said, "Well, it seems like I have a knack for being a detective too."

"Yeah, you're pretty good at deducing things.” Deirdre fell silent for a while before asking, "So... What do you think about it?"

Declan thought for a while and replied, "She's my brother's wife, so it's only right and natural for her to help him. I might have felt hurt before giving this answer, but I feel calm after saying it. After all, there is no better answer to this question."

Deirdre did not say anything else.

The woman he loved had tricked him into having sex with another woman. Forget about Declan. If Kyran had done the same thing to her, she would have felt very hurt as well.

"She was also one of the victims of the drug, so she hates it more than anyone else," Declan said. Then, he smiled and added,

"Anyway, let's not talk about me. Let's talk about you. What happened to you after I left Kings Manse?"

"Me?"

‘You were drugged too, right?" Declan frowned. "I was able to stay awake because I had hurt myself, but you were different. You were on the verge of losing consciousness, and the hospital was very far away. Are you feeling alright now?"

"Yeah..." Deirdre replied simply. She would rather not talk about it, as she did not want to recall the things that had happened between her and Brendan while they had been in the car. "The only problem we have now is the Kings."

‘What happened?" Declan was confused. "My brother refused to apologize? Or was my father trying to protect him?"

"You..." Deirdre raised her head.

She was kind of surprised that Brendan had not told Declan that they had fallen out with the Kings. However, when she gave the issue some more thought, she found it normal for him not to tell him as well. Brendan and Declan's estranged relationship aside,

Declan was still one of the Kings, so it went without saying that Brendan had to avoid getting too deep into their family affairs.

Since Brendan had not told him, she would not do anything extra or tell him about it.

‘You're right. Your brother refused to apologize, and your father was protecting him, so Brendan was rather displeased."

‘Well, I expected that," Declan said. "My father has appointed my brother as his heir, so he'll do anything he can to protect him. But at the end of the day, he’s just holding a candle to the devil. He offended Brendan today, so he can offend someone else tomorrow.”

"Not only that, but your father insisted that you need to be held responsible for this matter, even though he knows very well that you're innocent. Since they're so cold-blooded, why do you still consider them your family? Could it be-" Deirdre clenched her fists in her pocket tightly and let out a sigh.

“Could the Kings be so powerful that even you can't fight them?"

Declan lowered his head and said, ‘That isn't the main problem. After all, even Brendan doesn't take them seriously. The main problem is that they're related to someone else.”

"Related to someone else?” Deirdre asked, her voice filled with nervousness. 'Who are they?”

"Do you know Mystic Midnight?"

Deirdre nodded. ‘You were there when you were set up last time."

"Mystic Midnight was established in Eastgene fifty years ago. They're involved in many illegal transactions, and the reason the police can't do anything to them is that there is a powerful figure pulling the strings behind Mystic Midnight."

"You are saying that..." Deirdre's lips trembled. ‘The Kings are related to that person?"

"Not only are they related, but the Kings are also in a mutually beneficial relationship with that person. It wouldn't be far-fetched to say that they can't survive without each other. Therefore, even Brendan doesn't have the confidence to eradicate them. No, let me rephrase. The issue is not that he doesn’t have confidence. It's that he'll certainly lose if he goes up against them.”
