Upon arriving there, they called for the gatekeepers' attention.“This is Inspector Lincoln, an inspector from one of the police stations. These young men were caught in someone's house as they went there to attack his family. After they were caught and asked a few questions, they said their boss who sent them for this mission is residing here. So, we are here to see your boss. Please inform him that the police are here to see him.

Just as they stepped outside the house, he saw the young man who was trying to escape, dead already.“Hey, shouldn't you have spared his life

Now, Aidan and Wayne have been trying to reach out to Felix and Mike, but they couldn't. They were lost about what was happening.That alone was enough to tell them something was wrong somewhere. They had feelings that Mike was hiding something from them.“Undoubtedly, my mind is telling me that Mike is working for Antonio and Gregory. If not that, then how come we didn't hear from them after he called Felix to meet with him at a certain address?” Wayne asked suspiciously.“I'm certain that he is hiding something crucial away from us, but what could that be? However, if he turns against us, I don't think he will also betray Felix, his best friend, or what do you think?” Aidan said.“This is more serious than I thought. We have been deceived,” said Wayne with a sad expression.They stood there wondering what to do as they knew that all of them were greatly in danger. One could see how worried they were as they stood by the front of a hotel looking around if they would catch a glimpse of
180 I Will Kill Everyone
“That's never an excuse, Mike. Must you kill someone before you can be wealthy, huh? Do I look like a kid to you that you can easily toil with?” Felix yelled at Mike at the top of his voice.“Don't blame me, Felix.” Mike snapped.“ Do you know what I was going through? Besides, I never knew that it was your Mom. I just found out that it's your Mom who we poisoned when you told me about hunting Antonio for poisoning your mom.” “So, what are you saying, young man? Must you know that it was Felix's Mom before you refused to obey your boss? It's a crucial offense to claim someone's life. You don't have the power to give life. So, why do you take away life?” Sharon squawks at him.“I guess it's time for me to interrupt you all because your conversation is beginning to disturb my eardrums,” said Antonio with his hands akimbo.“Do not dare to be a good man here when you are the devil himself. I should have known that this is who you are from the very beginning. I'm so disappointed in you, Ant

An hour later, Felix woke up in a strange place, feeling dizzy as if he were beaten up by some gangsters.“Ahh…!” Felix shrieked sorrowfully as he blinked his eyes repeatedly, trying to figure out where he was.“Felix, are you okay?” A low tone of voice echoed in his ears, calling for his attention. He lazily raised his head and looked at the two ladies who were tied beside him.Upon setting eyes on Kate and Sharon, Felix was shocked to see them; he never knew it was a trap that was set against him.He stared at them for a few minutes, wondering if truly he was looking at his sister and Sharon.“H-how? And why?” Felix stammered. “What happened? How did I get here? If I could recall, I planned to meet with Mike, so how did I end up here?” He asked more questions.“See, Felix, your friends betrayed us. I wonder where you picked them from because they are not people. We should have trusted. They brought us here and kept us hostage. Unfortunately, they are working for Antonio.” Kate annou

Felix, Wayne, and Aidan met at the place where they had the previous meeting as a team.Immediately after Aidan had given the guns to Felix, Felix informed Mike.Mike sent a different address from the place he was presently in. However, Mike didn't fail to inform Wayne and Aidan.“The two remaining guys shouldn't follow you, please. I believe that Antonio will see us from afar if we are approaching the location he promised to send soon. I tell you, these two guys have numerous unknown agents that are working for them. They are almost everywhere in the city. “So, you can imagine where he would bewhile watching his boys bring you to him. However, you guys should be alert because we might call for help anytime soon after Felix has successfully met with Antonio and Gregory.“The last thing is, please don't involve the police in this. If you do so, then it would be hard for us to achieve our goal.” Mike advised.“Yeah, we know what to do. There's no need for you to remind us, man…” Wayne
