Chapter 985

Sloane was staring at Alvin's face. When she saw his expression changed, Sloane smiled, "Mr. New King, it's just some woman. For the master of Radiant Island, killing her is as insignificant as killing an insect. Why bother? I want to talk to you about something else."

Alvin said, "Go ahead."

Sloane smiled and grabbed Alvin's arm.

Alvin subconsciously flinched but then let Sloane take his arm.

Sloane leaned closer to Alvin and whispered into his ear, "My lord, although you are in charge of Radiant Island, people from the underground world still see your predecessor as the real king. One word from him, everything you have will disappear. To put it bluntly, everything you own is handed out by him."

"Handed out?" Alvin clenched his fists tightly, squeezing the words between his teeth.

Sonal said the same words the night before.

Sloane suddenly let go of Alvin's arm and took a step back. Her pulling away made Alvin feel a sense of loss.

Sloane smiled, "My Lord, you must know that your predecessor built Radiant Island by his bare knuckles. The people he killed are more than the people of the organization, and that's how he got his reputation. The underground world is a world that believes in no laws. It sees you as to how brutal you are. Do you think a mere title of successor can get you far? Not to mention the old king, even the other lords have more authority than you do."

Alvin didn't say a word. He had thought about it. All the respect he had got from outside was because he was the King of Radiant Island. Without Radiant Island, he had nothing. But what about

the inside of the organization? Did people really take him as the real king?

When Alvin learned that there were other lords in Radiant Island, he saw them like needles in his eyes.

Sloane just reminded him of that.

Sloane continued, "My lord, if I may? I think you can build a reputation for yourself. Once you are powerful enough, all the other lords of Radiant Island have to bow down in front of you. You will still be the king even Radiant Island doesn't exist anymore."

A hint of doubt appeared on Alvin’s face, "How?"

"Easy," Sloane snapped her fingers and said, "The old king got his reputation because of the people he has killed. You can do the same."

"Haha," Alvin laughed self-mockingly, "Me?"

Alvin was referring to his frailer than normal body.

"And that's why I wanted to talk to you. Cooperation!" Sloane got close to Alvin again and whispered in his ear, "As long as Radiant Island can help me do three things, I can make you the most powerful person. When that day comes, you don't have to scare anyone anymore, even the old king. You can do whatever you want to him, even killing him."

"Shut your f*cking mouth!" Alvin suddenly roared. He stared at Sloane with anger in his eyes.

Sloane was shocked by Alvin's sudden reaction.

Alvin gritted his teeth and spoke in a voice that only the both of them could hear, "Mr. Zhang made me who I am today. Without him, I'm nothing. You want me to betray him? Over my dead body!"

Alvin turned away and got back into the car.

The two Reapers got into the car. They drove off.

Sloane stood there and looked at the taillights of the Rolls-Royce. She took out her cell phone and called someone, "He declined. Okay, I understand. Don't worry."

In Lin's villa,

"Boss, happy new year!"

"Mrs. Boss, happy new year!"

A group of people walked into the main hall. The most obvious person among them was the one who had a head of red hair. They were Red Hair, Future, Wade, and the rest of the gang.

"Rob, you look so strong and healthy. Happy with your grandson- in- law? Haha!" Peze laughed out loud. He was a little older than Robert.

Robert smiled and said, "Come on, everyone, please have a seat. The greatest blessing of my life is that Henry came to be my grandson-in- law. I'll be satisfied even if I die now! Haha!"

"Grandpa, don't say that!" Sylvia rolled her eyes, "You are as strong as a bull."

"That's right, Rob," Peze said, "You will be here to carry your own great-grandson!"

Peze's words got everyone's eyes on Sylvia's belly. Sylvia's son would be a baby born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

Other people just knew that Lin's status in the business world would give Sylvia and Henry's son a head start in his career in business. People who knew Henry's real identity knew the son would represent something huge.

The King Region had been selecting their rulers by heredity, and they had ruled the underground world for hundreds of years. Henry's son would make the same thing possible for Radiant Island.

Being stared at by everyone, Sylvia's face turned red. She quickly put down the cup of water in her hand and ran to the other hall.

A burst of laughter was heard in the main hall.

Wade walked to Henry and whispered, "Boss, did you see the news just now?"

"Yes," Henry nodded.

Wade said with a worried face, " Alvin killed his ex- girlfriend with his own hands. His personality has changed so fast and so drastic. He has become more brutal than you were. I think it's dangerous to let him rule Radiant Island!"

Henry smiled slightly, "Wade, what, in your mind, is Radiant Island? Do you think it's something that represents peace and comfort?" "Of course not," Wade answered without thinking, "In the eyes of outsiders, Radiant Island is the real City of Hell. Only we know the real reason for creating Radiant Island."

"That's it," Henry said, "I intend to keep Radiant Island's reputation as the City of Hell. Alvin has indeed changed too drastically, but he isn't ambitious. So whatever he would do, he can only cause that much damage. Let him be. Remember the enemies we are facing. They are not goons. The only goal for me is to protect the people on the island. As for reputation, I don't mind sacrificing it."

"But Boss, the fact that Alvin is unambitious is what concerns me. He is reckless and never able to see the bigger picture. He is putting himself out there to be a public target for people to use!" Wade looked very anxious.

"No, he won't be," Henry said confidently, "I believe that he and I are the same kind of people. We can be bloated in a short while, but we won't let people use us. Give him some time. If he hasn't changed then, I'll make the right choice."
