The next morning, New York’s weather appeared somewhat gloomy, as if it might rain.
But Cyril’s mood was even heavier than the weather.
Cyril’s melancholy stemmed entirely from Nolan’s actions yesterday, and he had brought Nolan early in the morning to seek forgiveness from Ye Xunhuan, yet until now, he had not seen Ye Xunhuan himself.
Anna had been seen, but even she didn’t know where Ye Xunhuan had gone, which left Cyril uncertain of where to go to seek forgiveness.
Despite this, Cyril dared not leave Olivia’s estate, continuously waiting, believing that Ye Xunhuan would certainly return.
Moreover, he couldn’t leave, or else his sincerity might seem diminished.
Time passed swiftly, and it was already afternoon, yet Ye Xunhuan had still not returned, and Cyril dared not leave.
Anna, observing Cyril from upstairs in the estate, had a trace of mockery at the corner of her mouth as she watched him standing outside like a grandson.
Serves you right, let your son act arrogantly, now you’re feeling miserable, aren’t you?
At this moment, Cyril indeed felt miserable, wanting nothing more than to lash out against Nolan, who, if not for his actions, would have Cyril still within the Gambrino family!
Now, having waited all day, he still hadn’t seen anyone.
Cyril felt aggrieved, but Nolan was filled with unease inside.
Last night, after Marisa brought him back, Cyril had harshly dealt with him, almost breaking his legs!
And Cyril also told Nolan, tomorrow life or death would be up to fate!
After what seemed forever, Ye Xunhuan finally returned, bringing He Sichan with him.
Upon seeing Ye Xunhuan with He Sichan, Cyril hurriedly approached, his face filled with extreme reverence, akin to that of a grandson.
"Cyril pays respects to the king!" Cyril bowed respectfully to Ye Xunhuan.
Ye Xunhuan glanced over Cyril: "Oh my, Mr. Cyril, the Clan Leader of the Gambrino family, what brings you here?"
"And why stand out here? Come inside and sit!"
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Cyril’s heart trembled, and at the same time, his knees went weak; he collapsed to the ground.
"King, spare me, spare me..."
In this moment, Cyril had lost all semblance of a heroic figure or a big boss, reduced completely to a mere lapdog, kneeling on the ground and continuously kowtowing to Ye Xunhuan, not daring to look at him.
"Mr. Cyril, what are you doing?" Ye Xunhuan remarked lightly: "How can you kneel to me, you are the Clan Leader of the Gambrino family, a member of the mafia..."
Cyril understood there was still anger within Ye Xunhuan, and it was understandable.
Not just Ye Xunhuan, anyone faced with such circumstances would struggle to bear it, and such issues definitely transcend borders and ethnicities.
"King, for the sake of Cyril’s past allegiance to you, please spare the Gambrino family..."
Cyril continuously kowtowed to Ye Xunhuan, even causing blood to oozes from his forehead.
Ye Xunhuan snorted lightly: "If not for your past loyalty, the Gambrino family would have ceased to exist yesterday!"
"King, I know your generosity is the reason the Gambrino family still exists in this world, I am very grateful to you, but I swear this incident will never happen again..."
Cyril was filled with tension, as some other New York families had begun to unite, hinting they might deal with the Gambrino family soon.
Cyril knew without a doubt they had heard about the incident yesterday, otherwise they wouldn’t dare act like this.
Now if Ye Xunhuan did not relent, the Gambrino family would be consumed with no remnants, and certainly, no one would dare assist them.
After all, Ye Xunhuan was a marshal, the overlord of the underground world, several sovereigns had perished under his hand, and he had even once held sway unparalleled in the underground world.
Opposing Ye Xunhuan only led to death, and countless people sought to curry favor with him, yet without the slightest opportunity, seeing the Gambrino family now as a once-in-a-lifetime chance!
"King, I’ve brought Nolan to you; whether it’s death or torture, it’s at your discretion!"
Turning, Cyril immediately ordered Nolan: "Beast, hurry and come forth to apologize to Miss He!"
Trembling with fear, Nolan rushed before Ye Xunhuan and He Sichan upon hearing these words, kneeling on the ground without hesitation, pleading with them.
With Cyril already kneeling before Ye Xunhuan, what did Nolan amount to?
But Nolan wisely did not pin his hopes on Ye Xunhuan but instead implored He Sichan fervently.
Nolan thought if He Sichan spoke up, Ye Xunhuan might not take issue with him!
"Miss He, you are magnanimous, don’t have a petty squabble with me, pretend I’m nothing but a fart, just let me go!"
With each kowtow, Nolan’s head hit the ground forcefully, emitting a thumping sound, his effort intense.
At this moment, Nolan believed his fate lay entirely in He Sichan’s hands; if he couldn’t move her, he feared he would truly bid farewell to the world.
He Sichan watched Nolan, like a lapdog, overwhelmed with complex emotions; who could imagine a Hollywood star like Nolan kneeling on the ground, begging like a dog, especially being part of the Gambrino family!
He Sichan fully understood it was all because of Ye Xunhuan; without him, Nolan wouldn’t be so, nor would he spare her.
Thus, He Sichan felt no sympathy for Nolan.
She wasn’t some naive girl, nor was she new to society; she knew the dark side of the world better than anyone!
"Forgive you? If not for my man’s capabilities, would you spare us?" He Sichan said coldly, "I don’t want to see you again!"
As He Sichan’s words fell, Nolan felt as though he had plunged into an icy abyss, his body trembling furiously, akin to shaking intensely, his face turning pale instantly!
"Miss He..."
"Cyril, if you wish the Gambrino family to continue existing, you should know what to do, right?" Ye Xunhuan suddenly said, "Moreover, I don’t want to see you as the Clan Leader of the Gambrino family!"
