Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom
Chapter 278

278 Suicidal Brian

After a long while of silence, the almost lifeless Piper chuckled, then burst into a fit of mad laughter as tears slowly fell from her eyes.

Who gets into the Feng family's hands and survives? Those people are one of the cruelest old families in the Country. They are not among the top three, simply because they wanted to withdraw from the public's eyes to be able to carry out their demonic practices quietly without public scrutiny.

They are a core member of the Dark Age organization which focuses on human sacrifices to 'please their ancestors' or whatever the organization is up to. 1

Piper got to know about this because of her connection, which is one of the reasons she broke ties with Feng Long.

The only people who can help her now are her Lu brothers... Even the Xu family might not be able to help her because, in the organization, the Feng family has a higher position than the Xu family because the Feng family is also in charge of the ritual ceremonies in the organization, as well as human sacrifices.

Her only hope is her Lu brothers but why would they save her? Would people who refused to give her blood be willing to save her?

At the thought of that, a name flashed in her mind, Jeslyn! But then again, her hopes were dashed when she realized she has no means of communication with her.

Her blurry gaze swept through the room. It was spacious and there was absolutely nothing that could help her reach out for help.

Piper fell into despair. She didn't want to die. In the face of death, she realized there are lots of things she should have done but haven't done and needs to be taken care of.

Outside the house, Brian was held at gunpoint by dozens of men. He sighed in annoyance. How would he have known that this place has more men than his third aunt's husband's house?... The Presidential Villa!

"Aren't you the superstar? What are you doing here?" One of the young men who has a striking resemblance to Feng Long asked with his gun also pointed at Brian.

"What do you think I'm doing here?" Brian wasn't scared in the least even though he knew that a bullet might fly into his skull from behind. He was tired of this life anyway. Death is a better option, so he'd be glad and even thank whoever pulls the trigger.

"What are you doing talking to a trespasser? Kill him!! An angry voice drifted over from the dark and in no time, a man in his early 40s walked into the bright space.

"Older brother, wait!!" Feng Long ran out of the house, stopping one of his older brothers who was about to pull the trigger. "He's my friend. He said.

Brian looked at him languidly and snorted before rolling his eyes.

"More reason he has to be killed. Do it!" The early 40-year-old brother disapproved.

"You can't! I owe him my life!" Feng Long lied in his bid to save the ungrateful Brian.

Brian almost punched the idiot on his face but remembering why he was here in the first place, he remained calm. But whenever he gets the chance, he's definitely going to beat Feng Long into a pulp. First, the idiot brought Piper here and did something to her, and now, Feng Long is behaving like a good guy who he's going to owe a debt.

"Oldest brother, you haven't forgotten the family rules, right? He should be set free for saving my life

once."

"Long, are you stupid? That rule only applies if the family's secret isn't being compromised! You still have a lot to learn!" The oldest brother barked.

Feng Long fought his internal struggles for a while before he made his decision. He went down on his knees and kowtowed to his oldest brother three times.

"Please, oldest brother, grant me a few more days to spend with him before you kill him. He and Piper are the only friends I ever had."

The other brothers all turned their gazes to their oldest brother, waiting for him to come to a conclusion.

"Two days." The oldest brother said before he turned and left.

"Thank you, oldest brother."""

"Why would your so-called friend barge in here to kill our people? Almost 20 guards died in his hands." The one with a striking resemblance to Feng Long said with a frown.

They met Brian killing their men like he was training with his students. Who exactly is this guy? It only takes a well-trained military person or an assassin to master the skills Brian exhibited. "Oldest brother is already determined to kill him, let's just let it rest for now." FengLong said before dragging Brian into the house.

"Do you think I'll thank you for your intervention?" Brian sneered when they left the gathering of the

others.

"I don't need your appreciation. If it was up to me, I would have allowed them to blow your skull out."

"Haha... I'm so scared... You should have allowed them to kill me because whether I stay alive or die here, you all are already in hot waters. Haha..." Brian laughed out loud.

Feng Long paused and turned to look at the nonchalant Brian. "Who are you?" He frowned. For years he had been trying to find out who Brian was and what family he was from but each time, he hits a dead end.

"A person you wouldn't want to know. So where is that little girlfriend of yours?"

"You came here to rescue her?" Feng Long was shocked.

You both seem to think too highly of yourselves. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk..." he would never admit that he came to rescue her nor would he embrace what he still feels for her.

"Then what are you doing here?" Feng Long clenched his jaw. He already got his answer. Brian and Piper still love each other very much.
