Chapter 292 - ASSASINATION (One)
BUDAPEST INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
Three days later….
The Shen private plane has just landed. Guided by the airport tower, the Shen plane headed to the hangar that Shun prepared. Outside are five vehicles already waiting for the father and son's arrival.
Vincent swept his gaze to the n in black cautiously standing near the cars, looking around, and occasionally spoke through their small gadget hidden sowhere in their clothes.
Seeing such a situation, Vince has tensed up. It made him wonder if the setup was necessary.
"Welco, Mr. Shen. My na is Jerry Killian, your escort."
The guy extended his hand, and both Fred and Vincent had a handshake with him.
"Please, this way, sirs." Jerry led them to the latest Lamborghini URUS.
Vincent wanted to raise a brow and whistled at the personalized black Lambo displays in front of him. Jerry opens the door and gestures his hand for them to get in the car. Vincent stepped inside the backseat, then thanked the guy.
As a car lover as he is, he didn't hide his fascination with the vehicle. He expects a rcedes Benz to pick them up. But a Lambo?
This is beyond his imagination like he suspected that sothing was off here.
Not only that, there are four other cars, two are ahead of them, and two are tailing them. He thinks it's a bit of a convoy for soone like him. The last ti he was here, he was alone, with no bodyguards accompanying him as unnecessary.
He was free to roam around the country, as he didn't feel threatened by danger lurking in the dark alley.
Vincent looked at his father, who seed to guess what was on his mind.
"The day you got entangled with her, it was a huge change in your life as well," Fred quoted with aning to his son.
Vincent processed the words his dad had said. Since he was determined to be with Hailee, he persuaded the Elders to give their blessings to marry her.
Introducing himself to the elders is also a declaration that he involved the High Royal family.
With this, so people are not happy with his arrival. Not to ntion that he is marrying a princess-like Hailee Davies.
Sohow, he realized that Liam Huo is not the only one who is after the princess. Other royals must be after her for so purpose they will benefit from.
Davies' wealth and Jacob's influence are beyond imagination. Whoever marries the sole heiress will also gain a massive advantage over this power.
That is why his battle to win Hailee over continues even to this side of the world, which this ti, he must prove he is worthy of the princess and show that he has no ulterior motive but genuinely loves the princess.
Vincent heaves a long sigh. He thought his and Hailee's love was enough to show the world they were ant to be.
However, that wasn't enough either. It takes for the Shen to release all their cards to win this battle.
Vincent turned his head to his left side, looking outside the window as he admired the beautiful city of Budapest. Then, the day he ets Hailee four years ago flashes in his mind.
Fell into deep thoughts, Vincent didn't notice that the car was speeding up when they crossed the bridge.
Unlike the last ti he was here, looking for Hailey, the city was crowded with tourists. Today there is surprisingly no traffic at all. Vince pondered if the city had an unusual holiday, and that is to stay indoors.

anwhile, sowhere in the city…
"Target is crossing the bridge," said of a man on the radio.
"Locking in the target."
Another man announced in the other line. He took a deep breath before he pulled the trigger of his long-range sniper rifle.
While the car where Vincent was riding had increased its velocity while crossing the bridge, a bullet made its way to follow its target.
BANG!
***
A few days ago at Martini Manor, Hungary…
A man in his early thirties looks up from the book he is reading. Even though the infuriation on Duke Alessandro Martini exhibits on his face, the man dares to ask still.
"What happened, uncle Alessandro? Your face can not paint on the canvas."
Duke Alessandro shot a grim glance at his nephew, who was always carefree in his life. It made him unhappy because now, Alexander hasn't achieved greater things until now. If it weren't for his great effort, the Martini Royal family would have collapsed a long ti ago.
Because he was only the youngest son, he couldn't inherit the throne but his late brother's wife, who ran the kingdom.
"Stop joking around, Alex." Alessandro sneered, contracting the pupils of his eyes because of his annoyance. He cast a sidelong glance at his nephew, who resud reading the book in his hand. "Are you going to sit all day long around here?"
Alexander shrugs a shoulder as he replies calmly. "You said I should stay low-key and don't get too involved in the Royal duties in the association. Then, what do you want to do now?"
Duke Alessandro cursed inwardly. It annoys him how his nephew shows no interest in making a move of their plans.
He may say that Alex remains to slack around, but it doesn't an he should completely be incompetent. Several royal heirs are lining up to arrange a marriage with Jacob's daughter.
Although they have a great advantage as they could get near the princess anyti they wanted without noticing an ulterior motive; however, Alex is not using his head.
"Are you not going to visit your cousin?" Alessandro's voice was impatient when he asked his nephew. He was at a loss when Alex is playing dumb all the ti.
"Who's a cousin? Be specific, uncle." Without lifting his head, Alexander has the mood to point out his uncle.
Alessandro was in great despair. His nephew never took him seriously. "I have been telling you that Liam Huo was apprehended, finally! Now it is our ti to move on with our plan! Since Liam Huo's wrath is no longer a threat to us, this is the perfect ti for you to woo Hailee!"
The duke only takes control of his anger. He has been patiently waiting for Liam Huo's end. However, he was good at escaping death. He knew he was assassinated many tis, but in the end, his weakness was the princess.
He learned it was the princess who personally dealt with him. And so, they have to be careful not to mask off their motive of getting close to the princess.
"Uncle, have you forgotten? Hailee has a fiance now. Besides, that man is coming in a few days from now, right?"
"That is why you should have flown to Australia by that ti! Do I have to teach you every detail of what you need to do?"
Alexander heaves a long sigh. His ears couldn't take it anymore. The duke's voice was getting louder as he spoke further. He placed the book on the coffee table, then stood on his feet.
"I heard you loud and clear, Uncle. I'm going to my room and pack my clothes."
Alessandro wanted to throw a pit. But nothing he could do but fu inwardly.

NEXT ON:
Mrs. Brown, the Davies headmistress, knocked Hailee in her bedroom to inform her that her cousin arrived.
"Alex!"
"Hey, beautiful Princess!" Alex flashed a sweet smile across his handso face as he opens his arms wide, which Hailee delightedly hug him back.
