Attracted By My Ex-wife

Chapter 544 The Duel On Mount YS (Part One)

"Anne is my wife, my life partner. She is my woman. She should spend her entire life in my company. But because of this wretched Kim, she has had to leave!

Peter, you haven't been through anything this warped before! You won't be able to understand my sense of self blame and helplessness. As a man, I have been declawed and cannot protect my own wife. Do you know how impotent that makes me feel?

I am untouchable in the business world! It should be the same with my dealings with Kim!

This time, I will end these issues once and for all with him. That way, he will never be able to hurt us in any way after that.

I know that, as it stands, I have no chance in winning against Kim in a ten-paces-and-turn death duel. But this is the only way that I will be done with Kim. So I have called you to tell me how to kill him with one shot!" Kevin said this all without taking a single breath.

Indeed, he was pained, greatly pained by everything happening.

From the moment Kim had reappeared in their lives, he had found himself in a hellish abyss, along with terrible, torturous thoughts. Only when Kim was gone for good would he be able to feel even a glimmer of happiness again.

So he needed to ensure this was the last time, that this would be the final solution to their ongoing problems with Kim.

Peter frowned and let out a heavy sigh. "Both of us cannot even compare to Kim when it comes to shooting and duelling skills. We look completely useless next to his high level of prowess."

However, this just made it much more difficult to think of a solution in dealing with Kim with finality.

Kevin's mind was in a mess, his thoughts tangled into a knotted bunch. He really could not think of a viable remedy.

"No... It is too dangerous. Anne won't agree if she finds out though!" Peter continued. He was depressed about the situation.

Kim was highly skilful at ten-paces-and-turn duels. Defeating them would be child's play for him. How could they ever have any chance of defeating him?

Taking him on in this kind of duel would be an absolute suicide mission!

"Kevin, I understand why you loathe Kim, but you have to remember that if you die, how could Anne live without you? And you can't make such a rash decisions when you have your children to think about," Peter said, throwing caution to the wind.

On the other end of the line, Kevin sighed with exasperation. He had already considered what Peter had now mentioned.

However, if Kim remained alive, he could never ensure Anne's or his children's safety.

So this was his only choice, wasn't it?

"Don't panic. The duel is set for tomorrow just after midday. We still have time to find an alternate solution." With those final words, Kevin hung up the phone.

"Kevin, don't make such an important decision with such haste. We—" Peter realized he was talking to no one. Kevin had cut the call. He roared in frustration and flung the phone across the room, onto the bed.

He was so exhausted, ready to hit the sack.

However, when he closed his eyes to finally have some rest, the image of the mountain appeared on the screen of his closed eyelids.

He knew that only one person could survive in a duel of this kind, and if he were forced to pick between Kevin and Kim, the former would be his unequivocal choice.

Yet, he was still just an ordinary man. How could he possibly come up with a solution?

In the dead of night, every light in the Fu Family's residence was turned off. But there was one that was still on - Kevin's study.

He sat in his chair with a gaunt look on his face.

Kevin had an inkling that the moment Kim managed to force Anne out of A city, he would make a move on him!

He had played with many scenarios in his mind's eyes. But he really had not expected Kim to choose such a fair, upstanding approach.

This was definitely not Kim's style, which was usually filled with deception and deceit. But, Kevin realized he would be able to accept the result much more easily when it arose from such a scenario, rather than Kim stealthily attacking him and forcing a result on him.

However, he would only survive by the skin of his teeth if he somehow managed to defeat Kim in this duel. Perhaps there was no chance even of him surviving. But he knew that he had to live on for the sake of his wife and kids. Death really was not even an option for him.

That being said, he had no choice but to think of a solution!

Kevin whipped out his phone and called Sam again. After hearing the state of affairs. Sam also advised him not to act rashly. Kevin listened in rapt attention, asked Sam to still keep thinking of solutions, and

then hung up.

Many hands make light work. The more people thinking about possible remedies, the more likely they would find one. Between the two of them, surely one could come up with something!

Kevin breathed an exhausted sigh. He pulled open the curtain and looked outside, forlorn. A faint, sad smile appeared on his face. 'Anne, are you sound asleep? Have you kept me in your dreams?'

Meanwhile, elsewhere and at the same moment, Anne woke up abruptly from a horrific nightmare. Her clothes were soaked in sweat.

She sat up in her bed, and took in the unfamiliar surroundings. She couldn't help placing a distressed hand to her forehead. She had realized she was in S city, and not in her warm home anymore.

"Kevin, are you asleep now?" Anne got to her feet and wondered out loud.

Time flew by quickly. The time of the duel was already upon them. Up to these very moments preceding the duel, no one had managed to find a solution.

Lunch time had already come and gone, and Anne hadn't seen Peter. She decided to check with Brandon, "Where is Peter?"

Brandon answered with an impatient scowl, "How should I know?"

Just yesterday, Brandon had asked Kim whether he wanted Peter dead. But Kim was showing out-of- character tolerance towards Peter, and said that, so long as he stayed out of the way of their plans, there was no need to take his life.

Although he didn't agree, and was itching to execute Peter, he had no choice but to listen to the boss.

Nonetheless, his loathing for Peter remained intact.

Frowning with concern, Anne had a gut feeling that something untoward was afoot. She stood up and took a walk to his door. She rapped on the door.

"Leave me alone!" Peter angrily shouted this through the door.

Anne raised her eyebrows, utterly taken aback. She started to wonder what had happened to Peter for him to behave in this manner.

Usually, he was mild mannered and polite. She had never seen him so emotional or aggressive before. What could have possibly happened to him now to draw such uncharacteristic behavior out of him?

She looked at the floor. Her body stiffened as she mulled something over. He had come here purely at Kevin's behest... Did his odd behavior have anything to do with Kevin? Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Once they had arrived at this villa. Brandon had confiscated her phone. She had not been in touch with him hence she had zero idea what had happened to him.

All facts seemed to point to the conclusion that this had to do with Kevin.

Her body was quivering involuntarily. She knocked on the door again. Before Peter could respond, she instructed loudly, "Peter, come out right now and tell me whether something has happened to Kevin!"
