The people around felt their faces turn pale, not understanding what Justin intended to do, because if he wanted to kill them, he would have done so already.No one could expect his next move, as Justin aimed the gun at the leg of one man lying on the ground.“Congratulations, you’ve been chosen,” he said, then fired the gun, not allowing the man to fear or utter a sound.As the gunshot ceased, not even a second passed before a hole appeared in the man’s leg, and blood spurted out uncontrollably like a punctured hose.“Aw aw aw aw!” the man cried out in agony, trembling as he hugged his leg.But Justin then holstered his gun. To the speculation in the eyes of others, he seemed to want to torment and torture them. But in reality, it wasn’t so. At this moment, Justin approached and removed the man’s hands.“What... what do you want? If you want to kill me, then do it? I won’t say anything. You... you...”The man was in so much pain that his breathing became erratic, his breath chaotic,
"Yes, sir, that's correct. I am indeed his subordinate," Caesar said, before taking off his gloves and shaking hands with the man.The man was extremely courteous, and at this moment, he took out his business card and handed it to Caesar. "Here is my card. Your superior saved the lives of my wife and children. So I hope that when he wakes up, you can inform me so that I can come and visit.""Yes, of course," Caesar politely accepted. The man nodded a few times at him, then departed.Watching his departure, Caesar pondered a bit. Just then, someone suddenly appeared beside him, startling him. And that person was none other than the mischievous Leona."Hey, he doesn't seem like an ordinary person, does he? Did you notice?" Caesar, still startled, lightly tapped Leona on the head. He yelped and held his head."Why did you hit me?""Never mind that. Let's get those people back to base."Even Caesar felt that the man's status was not ordinary. From his speculation, he was probably a high-r
Justin lay on the hospital bed, brought to the hospital in an ambulance. Medical staff quickly wheeled into the emergency room him. Their movements were swift and urgent. To make his injury appear more realistic, Justin even deliberately disrupted his heartbeat and blood pressure, causing it to drop unusually low. This made the medical personnel genuinely believe he was severely injured and close to death. “Hurry up, hurry up. This patient is severely bleeding. Injuries from gunshot wounds on the ribs, abdomen, chest, and head,” a doctor shouted. The scene in the emergency room quickly became chaotic. Justin felt somewhat guilty, pondering what he should do and when he should open his eyes. The attending doctors quickly approached, giving him a brief examination, but their expressions immediately changed. “He... he doesn’t seem to have any injuries?” said a middle-aged doctor while examining Justin’s shirt, confirming that he had no wounds. The atmosphere in the emergency room sud
“Damn it, damn it, bunch of useless bastards!” A booming voice shattered the quiet air in the room. Then, a rough hand swept everything off the table onto the floor, causing papers, vases, landline phones, teapots to shatter and scatter into a chaotic mess.“A bunch of people like that, a bunch of hired guns with state-of-the-art weapons, and still couldn’t do a damn thing to one man. You’re all useless. I spent so much money hiring you for what!?” It was a middle-aged man, his face contorted with rage and contempt. His eyebrows furrowed tightly together, every wrinkle on his face squeezed together, every muscle tensed to the maximum, his anger boiling to where his face turned red, chest heaving violently, breaths coming in ragged, chaotic bursts. And that man was none other than Laramie.Before him were two men kneeling, one being his assistant and the other a muscular man, tattoos covering both arms, neck, and legs. He had piercings in his nose, ears, lips, chin, and eyebrows. That
But what he least expected was that today he couldn’t kill Justin, nor could he kill Katherine.“Katherine, listen to me calmly,” he explained. “I’m sure Justin will rescue you. He loves you so much, he will definitely save you. Besides, aren’t you safe and sound here now? So prove that my plan is correct.”Laramie TALKED A BLUE STREAK to prove his innocence without realizing that what Katherine heard at this moment was different. He kept emphasizing that Justin loved her and would definitely risk his life to save her. As Katherine felt more conflicted and her trust in Laramie dwindled, he seemed to shoot himself in the foot.Katherine clenched her fists, her anger making her tremble, accompanied by immense disappointment and doubt. She felt like she was being pushed into a space surrounded by images, memories, and words from Laramie and Justin.With trembling lips, Katherine spoke, “Justin loves me? But he said before, he didn’t love me, he had someone else. Now he says he deeply lov
“Yes... yes...” Katherine hesitantly replied, suddenly feeling foolish for speaking out loud without fully understanding what was going on.“Let me explain to Laramie a bit. This little guy just blabs on and on,” Kimmy continued, seizing the opportunity to complete her drama. “Laramie probably thinks your ex-husband will save you because your daughter is there, not because of some random kid. Think about it, even if your ex doesn’t love you and treats you badly, he still loves his daughter, right? So he wouldn’t let his daughter witness her mother’s death. The bullets were calculated, too. If your ex saves you, it hits his vital points, but if not, it won’t hit you. That’s how you saw it. How could Laramie see you as a sacrificial pawn? Right?”Listening to Kimmy’s explanation, Katherine felt like honey poured into her ears, believing with no doubt. To her, Kimmy’s words were the only ones worth trusting.“Yes, I understand now. I misunderstood Laramie. I was wrong.”“That’s right.” K
Seeing that syringe pump, Katherine startled, unable to help but immediately raise her eyes to look at Kimmy with a bewildered and incredulous look.“Big sister... this is...”Seeing Katherine’s expression, Kimmy knew she was scared, but she still had faith in her. She manipulated Katherine’s psyche.“Don’t worry, it’s a type of drug that paralyzes the body, or in other words, your ex-husband will be bedridden for life. It won’t affect his life. I know you still have hidden feelings, so I’m sure you wouldn’t...”Kimmy pretended to be sorrowful, and Katherine, fearing that Kimmy would misunderstand her lingering feelings for Justin, immediately panicked and interrupted:“No no no, I’ve been over him for a long time. Now, it’s just Laramie in my heart. Tell me to kill Justin. I’d do it. Don’t worry about such trivial matters.”In Kimmy’s mind, she cursed Katherine as naïve. Just a few simple sentences could make her obedient with no suspicion. This pawn... truly worth it.“Sister, of co
Lewis was intimidated by Kimmy’s actions. He looked at her without a word, breathless. No one could have imagined that a heavily tattooed gangster like him would be afraid of a woman like her.Facing Lewis, Kimmy applied pressure with a serious question. The atmosphere became heavy, but their eyes met.“I’ve heard a story,” Kimmy said, her voice calm but carrying an undeniable tension. “Mercenary organizations and assassins always adhere to an unspoken rule that anyone who falls into the hands of the enemy must commit suicide to avoid revealing their client’s secrets. Regardless of who violates it, their family will have to bury them. Isn’t that right?”Lewis felt like a heavy stone was on his back. He lifted his eyes to look at Kimmy, the light from the lamp sparkling in his dim eyes. “That’s correct,” he admitted. “But... but...”“But what?” Kimmy sensed his hesitation and knew that things were taking a turn for the worse.Lewis sighed, trying to control his emotions. “It’s obvious
