Chapter 521: Hello, Brother? (One)
Jackson Suites North Australia
Samuel Miller was lounging leisurely, sipping on a wine glass in the suite John gave him, where he had peaceful meals and held meetings during his stay in Australia.
"Director Miller, sir, I received reports from our men. It looks like the princess has moved. Our men spotted several of the International Knights had arrived in Northern Australia ...."
The assistant was interrupted from giving his report when a commotion could be heard from outside, followed by gunshots.
Samuel Miller curled his lips as his gaze darted to the door, and someone stepped inside.
"Heh. It's not the princess…."
"What?" The assistant turned around and panicked to see the person walking toward them. "Vincent Shen!?"
"Hah! Welcome, brother!" Samuel widened his smile.
Tension suddenly escalates when Vincent takes off his trench coat and hat. The assistant and Samuel's bodyguards become vigilant and prepare for a bloody fight.
However, Vincent also brought several men from Jacob's army and Hailee's knights.
Vincent walked straight to the empty couch across from Samuel and sat down. Then he reached for the wine bottle and poured the red content into an empty, golden goblet on the table.
"Hello, brother," Vincent greeted Samuel nonchalantly while he swirled the wine in the goblet and lifted his hand before he drank the content in one gulp. "Taste on top of the world. You sure have talent in choosing the finest wine to serve the emperor."
Samuel narrowed his gaze. He wished his sharp glare could kill Vincent before he could open his mouth to return a poisonous remark. He beat him already, giving him no chance to speak.
"However, I would pour wine on my own. It's better to be cautious. Might you poison me like how you poison our father, Emperor Xing Long?"
Samuel grinned and sneered in his heart. There's no doubt that Vincent regained his past life memories.
His calm poise, replaced with arrogance and fierceness, is what Samuel sees, just like the brother he used to know back in their past life.
Years back, they were both college students at Leroy Collins University in New Jersey. He took law while Vincent took architecture.
Even though he was just in the second year of his course, the teacher was already impressed by Vincent. It was because of his excellent designs even before taking the course.
But Vincent Shen is such a proud man. He doesn't even have a girlfriend nor get close to any woman. He is snubbed and only chooses who he will make friends with.
While taking the Law course, he pays attention to every information about Vincent. Then, he plotted how to mess up his life.
Thus, he came up with a brilliant plan. He spreads a rumor about Vincent's sexual orientation. However, he could care less about it. Instead, he heard Vincent tell his best friend Jake that it helps to prevent those girls from flirting with him.
Madame Hilda Lopez Shen is the one who is displeased with the rumor. She was desperate for her son to find a girlfriend. Well, his plan still became fruitful. She even arranged his son's marriage, and it was perfect.
The First Madame of the Lan family is close to Hilda. What's more exciting, Eva's boyfriend is Hailey's closest friend, Bryan.
He needed to press Ricky Lan to the corner and plant scenarios in his head, including a suggestion to milk money on Vincent Shen.
He was delighted when his plans succeeded. Vincent and Eva got married, and Liam pursued Hailee. And that's even perfect.
Three birds with one stone are how he describes it.
Vincent, Liam, and Hailee are trapped in such a situation without them knowing.
However, Vincent did not care about Eva after they got married. Instead, Bryan and Eva are still in a relationship they called "No strings attached."
At first, everything went smoothly. But his master is using Liam. He wanted Liam to win Hailee's hand for marriage to control the Oceania Continent against Shun.
And that pushed Hailee to marry Bryan, and then many things happened, and Vincent found Hailee again.
It was terrible news to him that the Empress was also reincarnated in this lifetime, and their stars foretold they would cross paths again.
Moreover, the Emperor's Elite Warriors were also born in this life, honoring their vows to Heaven to guard the Empress with their lives.
Andre Hillson, Bryan Anderson, Pitterson Cha, Hansen Park, James White, Geoffrey Wilson, Leonard Grubber, Hector Payne, and the long list of Hailee's knights.
Ever since the past life, their lives are already interconnected.
But this would not happen if the sorceress did not get in the way. That sorceress must be the one who arranges their reincarnation into this lifetime.
All of them can't be born again in the same lifetime.
Unfortunately, he did not find the reincarnation of the sorceress. He could feel her presence but could not distinguish who she was in this life.
The sorceress is the daughter of the White Moon. However, Madison has no daughter, and Isabella's descendants, Doctor Derek, have a daughter, but he does not feel the sorceress's presence in Kendra.
And if the sorceress reincarnates in Cassandra's family, Angela and the newborn baby Arabella are just ordinary humans. They don't possess any power.
So, Samuel is puzzled…
Who is the sorceress in this lifetime?
"You should pay attention," Vincent reminded Samuel.
Samuel, who was lost in thoughts, came back to the present. He constricted his eyes, observing Vincent's every move.
'That was close!'
He zoned out all of a sudden. He forgot he was in the middle of tension after Vincent's arrival.
"You never learn, big brother," mocked Vincent. He added, "You were still the same as before."
Samuel gritted his teeth, listening to Vincent's ridicule.
Vincent was always looking down at him. He would only treat him as useless as if he were disabled. That's why he loathed him all his life, including this one.
"I would not let you keep humiliating me! Not in this life!" Samuel bellowed.
Samuel stood abruptly from the sofa seated and reached for Vincent's neck.
