Declan was in a panic because of suffocation.
Nobody took Maverick seriously before.
Back then, Levi disliked Maverick and his mother. He kicked them out of the Lamont family without mercy.
They all knew what kind of person Levi was.
Levi seized everything of the Waller family by all means. There was no doubt that he would remove the source of the trouble.
Declan thought that Levi was a villain.
No one expected that Maverick persisted until now.
One who suffered a lot always had a grudge in his hearts, which made him terrifying.
They knew well that the situation in Italy was complex.
Declan thought, 'Does Maverick who come out from there only control Lamont Group?'
'It must be far more than this.'
People from the Lamont family were unable to stop Maverick. A few years ago, when Maverick returned, he took over Lamont Group quickly.
Declan had said it, so he wouldn't chicken out in an instant.
He thought, 'Moreover, I'm of high-level positions now.'
'No matter how fierce Maverick is, it's impossible for him to do anything to me.'
"What I said is true. Although no one dares to mention it now, it had happened. Maverick, do you think that you can bring down our big families solely by yourself? Don't talk nonsense! For the sake of your grandfather and your father, we didn't do anything to you. You..."
Before Declan stopped, Maverick squeezed his throat with more strength than before.
Declan called out pitifully out of pain.
At this moment, Declan felt that he was going to die.
Maverick's fierce eyes shocked Declan, and he dared not to say a word.
Maverick still held Declan's neck tightly.
Declan's face turned an unnatural shade of purple.
He felt short of breath and reached out to push Maverick away, but he failed. He coughed, and his face was pale.
Everything before his eyes started to blur.
Declan felt that he might be strangled to death in the next second, and then Maverick loosened his hand.
Declan trembled. His legs were too feeble to stand.
Breathing in the fresh air, he looked like a stray dog.
His vision became clear, and he saw Maverick's black trousers.
Declan knew that the Kahl family and the Rice family were no match for Maverick.
He also knew that Alex didn't stand by him.
Thinking for a while, Declan gave in, smiled falsely, and struggled to stand up, saying to Maverick, "Don't stare at me. I came here with Alex, but when I came up, I saw him bully Everly."
He paused for a moment and said insincerely, "I came here to tell you, but you didn't give me the chance. If anything happens to your woman and the kid, don't blame me for it."
...
How was Everly being treated?
Alex was intended to torment her, but he couldn't hurt her.
Killing and arson were all crimes, and Alex couldn't be so stupid to do that.
What Alex needed to do was to bite back.
The surveillance video had been edited where the conversation was cut off, only left the scene of Edmond aggressively pushing down Alex.
Everly's phone was broken, and Alex was stalling for time, not letting her inform Maverick. Maverick arrived an hour later.
Everly and Edmond were fine. They were under house arrest by many people whom Alex had called over. A few tall and strong bodyguards in black stared covetously at them, which scared Edmond.
Besides, he had just experienced things about Jack.
