Chapter 923 A Plot

• Olivia shot him a glare. "Are you going to tell me or not?"
• Eugene hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes. Seven years ago, the Nolan Group had just set foot in Nambahd. At that time, Hayes wasn't the king, but he had helped me a lot. He gave me the green light on many projects and helped me earn a considerable amount of money, so we became good friends. The next year, after the old king passed away, Hayes would supposedly take over the throne. However, he faced some obstacles since Sirius wanted to snatch power from him. Sirius and Hayes were equally matched and had roughly the same number of supporters. The war was in a stalemate. Then, they contacted me respectively. I wasn't powerful back then, but since Hayes had helped me, I decided to side with him to repay his favor."
• After a pause, he continued, "At that time, Promise Island was developing rapidly, so I had quite some enemies. One night, just as we ended a fight with Sirius and were ready to retreat, someone opened fire in our direction. I initially thought those from Sirius' side were ready to strike again, so I told some people to take Hayes away while I took action with several subordinates separately. After exchanging moves, I realized they were not Sirius' people. Instead, they were assassins from different parties. My life was worth a lot at that time. My subordinates were soon killed, and I was shot in the chest."
