Dauntless God Of War novel Chapter 384

Harold ignored Ewan and Sylvena as he shifted his gaze toward the man in black, who still had his gun pointed at Marilyn.
Harold ignored Ewan and Sylvena as he shifted his gaze toward the man in black, who still had his gun pointed at Marilyn.

Terrified by Harold's icy-cold gaze, the man dropped his gun and knelt before him the same way Quintus did.

He was so scared that he even forgot to apologize and beg for forgiveness.

Marilyn breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the gun was no longer pointed at her head.

She then stood behind Harold and stared nervously at Quintus and the others.

Harold gave her a reassuring pat on the hand to calm her down before turning to face Quintus, who was still on his knees.

Quintus, Ewan, and even the big shots of Hishwick Island all held their breaths as they anxiously waited for Harold to make his move.

Right when they thought Harold would help him up, he shocked everyone by saying, “You're right. You should be punished for not keeping your subordinates under control. For your punishment, I want you to end yourself.”

What? Did Harold just tell Quintus to kill himself? He may have dominated the underground forces all over the world back then, but he had already handed them over to Quintus about five to six years ago! Would Quintus really listen to him now that he has the entire world's underground forces at his fingertips? Isn't he afraid of Quintus turning against him? What is this guy thinking?

The crowd believed that Harold's insolent behavior would ultimately lead to his own demise.

Even Marilyn tugged at the hem of his shirt with a worried look in her eyes.

After all, Quintus still had the gun in his hand, so he still posed a threat to them.

However, Harold simply turned around and flashed her a reassuring look in response.

The look on Quintus' face turned incredibly gloomy after hearing what Harold said.

That led the crowd to believe that he would turn on Harold out of sheer desperation to save himself. When one's life gets threatened, it would only make sense to discard one's honor in order to stay alive.

However, Quintus surprised everyone by pointing the gun at his head instead.

What? Is he seriously going to shoot himself in the head simply because Harold told him to?

As much as he didn't want to die, Quintus didn't dare go against Harold's orders either.

First of all, Harold was the one who provided him with everything that he currently owned. In other words, his success in life would not have been possible without Harold.

Second of all, he was all too familiar with Harold's capabilities, so he knew full well that resistance would be futile anyway. Harold was able to move faster than a bullet, so Quintus wouldn't even have time to pull the trigger if he tried to shoot Harold.

Third of all, he was the only person at the scene who knew about Harold's alternative identity as the world-renowned God of War.

That title alone was more than enough to discourage him from resisting at all.

“You were the one who gave me this life, Mr. Campbell. If you wish to take it back, then it is all yours for the taking. Please look after my sister when I'm gone. If there is a next life, I would gladly be your subordinate once again!” Quintus said before pulling the trigger in front of everyone.

Bang!

Quintus' body shook slightly as the gun went off with a loud bang.

To everyone's surprise, however, Quintus turned out to be perfectly fine.

In fact, there wasn't even a single drop of blood on his head.

Was the gun empty?

The crowd was quick to dismiss that thought when they saw smoke coming out of the barrel of the gun.

Besides, a gun without bullets would not have gone off with a loud bang when fired.

After breathing a sigh of relief, Quintus lowered his head and exclaimed gratefully, “Thank you for having mercy on me, Mr. Campbell!”

“Look! What's that in his hand?” someone exclaimed in shock while pointing at Harold.

The crowd shifted their gaze toward Harold, only to see him holding a smoking-hot bullet in between his index and middle finger.

The tip of the gun was only an inch away from Quintus' head when he fired it, and yet, Harold was able to catch the bullet with his bare hands! Is he even human?
