However, Gerald did not expect that he would have to carry out the mission before his body had fully recovered.What Gerald also never imagined was that his mission would be successful. He was in excruciating pain that caused him to tremble uncontrollably in bed. The men outside found him too noisy and gagged him. Yet, he was overwhelmed with excitement right now. It was an excitement he could not contain! He had succeeded, and moreover, he had survived.He did not know that killing someone could be so simple! Before carrying out the mission, Gerald was afraid, and he was worried about what might happen to him. He was also afraid that Amul might kill him while they were halfway there before getting rid of Jacob and Harold himself.Furthermore, he had always thought that murdering a person was a difficult task. Now, all Gerald could think about was how killing someone could feel like this. What he had thought was so difficult turned out to be so simple!This was what it fe
"Gordan, when are you going to start shooting? I feel frustrated being trapped in the car!" said Gale. The gunfire was intense, and he could feel bullets whizzing past the car.It was the sound of gunfire. Gale could tell the mercenaries had the upper hand. He was not scared, just frustrated. He felt he should be out there making a difference instead of being sidelined by Gordan.He could don a mask and help the police take down the mercenaries."Haha, are you scared already?" Gordan's teasing voice came through the earpiece. Before Gale could respond, he added, "I'm coming to rescue you."Then, Gale heard a gunshot from the mercenaries' side. This time, it was not their weapons firing but Gordan's.Gale rolled his eyes. Did he really need Gordan to save him? If not for the plan to ram the car into the mercenaries to create an opportunity for the police to escape, he would not be hiding here now.Gordan's aim was impeccable. He took down two mercenaries as soon as he got out
When Gale smoothly stepped on the ground, two gun barrels were immediately aimed at his head.With two gun muzzles pointed at him, he had no choice but to stand straight. He raised his hands in surrender.The mercenaries noticed he was still wearing earphones. One of them rudely snatched them, putting them into his own ears to eavesdrop on any ongoing conversations. However, there was nothing to hear.Gale said with a helpless tone, “Guys, these are just my headphones for listening to music.”"Listening to music while you’re driving?! Tell us, are you a cop or are you one of them?" One of the mercenaries subdued Gale while another aimed his gun at him.The police officers saw the scene and dared not to make any sudden moves."I'm not, I'm not. I'm just passing through, man. Seriously, I'm just passing through." Gale felt helpless as his earphones had been taken off. Now, he had no idea about what plans Gordan and Rain might have. Still, whatever their plans were, he n
The moment he started yelling at the police, a bullet had already pierced through his head. The mercenary's eyes were widened. Before he could even take his last breath, Gale had already kicked the other two out of the car. Then, a gunshot rang out, and one of the mercenaries was taken down.The other one rolled over, but by the time he realized what was happening, Gale had already kicked the gun out of his hand and picked it up.Gale did not shoot. He only aimed the gun at the mercenary. He could not fire due to his current identity. He had no choice but to let the police handle it. Plus, they needed someone alive.Gale pointed at the mercenary with the gun, who dared not to move. Not only was Gale aiming at him, but the police officers, noticing that Gale had broken free from their control, were also pointing their guns at him. The mercenary could only surrender.Gunshots continued to echo. Gordan was engaged in a shootout with the remaining two mercenaries. One of them
The wheels of the car driven by Gale had been removed by Rain. He had no choice but to leave on foot.As the police officer watched him leave from behind, he could not help but shake his head. “What a waste. With skills like that, he'd be a perfect fit at our precinct.”However, considering Gale was under Luke, he did not push further. The officer just shook his head and then directed the operations at the scene.Since there had been a gunfight, they needed to secure the area, find the bullets, and then write a report.It was quite a serious incident.Fortunately, there were no casualties on their side, and they did not let the suspect escape either.A few police officers were busy cordoning off the area to prevent vehicles from entering. Meanwhile, the escort team successfully brought Matysh to the courthouse's back entrance.A court officer came forward. He checked Matysh's identity and then escorted him inside. They had heard about the gunfight and were surprised Matysh was s
It was late at night. A black full-size Lincoln SUV is driving into an extravagant mansion in A City’s most expensive suburb.Inside the mansion.Bianca Rayne’s eyes were covered with a silk blindfold.He did not want her to know who he was.“Don’t be afraid. Take deep breaths.“You can do it, Bianca. There’s nothing more important than getting Dad a liver transplant so he can live. It’s fine to sacrifice a little for Dad.”She could not ignore the sound of the car entering the mansion.Now that it had come to this, all she could do was keep talking to herself, to persuade and comfort herself.When Luke Crawford walked in, his body tall and his spine straight, he immediately saw Bianca, who was standing in his room. She was young, in the prime of her youth—“H-Hello…” She could sense his body approaching, so she instinctively took a step back despite the blindfold, stuttering as she greeted him stiffly.She had thought that the past few days of mental preparation had left her
Once he was done, the man left.Bianca was exhausted to the point of passing out. She stayed curled up on the bed for a long, long time.The doctors said it was easier for her to conceive this way.…This continued for more nights than she could keep track of. Luke Crawford would come to the mansion every night, no matter how late his work kept him. He never failed to show up.The middle-aged driver who followed Luke around, Charles Finn, was Faye’s husband. Both of them were experienced in these things, so they really wanted to give their young master a word of advice. These things should be taken slowly! Rushing it would only be unhealthy!However, their haughty and aloof young master was also known for being a harsh employer with the cold face of a devil. He was famous for being hard to handle!The couple had no choice but to keep their mouths shut!They could only watch as that young girl was rendered limp and listless every day thanks to their young master’s energetic dema
“Hear me out, Kevin. We only have two daughters, right? I know, Marie isn’t your daughter by birth, but she’s called you her father all her life…”Before Jennifer finished that sentence, Kevin interrupted her. He had been recuperating in bed for many months now, and he was already feeling much better. “What are you trying to say? Just tell me straight. After all, I’m your loving husband.”“I know you love me and our Marie..” Jennifer held Kevin’s hand, so thin that it was practically skin over bone, and said softly, “You mentioned that you’d send Bianca overseas to study after she graduates from high school right? Our Marie is only two years older than Bianca, and all she does these days is hang around bars. She’s not going to class properly at all, and I’m worried sick. After all, she is my only biological child! Kevin, I want Marie to study overseas with Bianca!”Bianca stood outside the door, frowning slightly.Marie was twenty years old this year, and she had somehow learned ho
