Johnny laughed and ordered, "We'll wait until he shows up. Kill him if you can, but if you can't, at least cripple him."
"Yes, boss!" everyone shouted.
At this moment, someone pointed at the campus gates. "Look! Someone's coming out!"
Johnny's eyes shone. "Let's take a look!"
The driver revved the van up and headed to the gates. The car they saw was Will's Aston Martin. Near the gates of Solaris University was an autopay machine for visitors to pay a small parking fee, so Will slowed down when he approached the crossbar.
"Solaris A 888888. Your fee is one dollar," the system said. Will took his phone out and was about to pay for the parking.
He was about to scan the QR code when Kyle said in a trembling voice, "W-Will, look. T-There's a van outside. They're in our way. T-They might be the underworld guys Mr. Nicholson hired."
Will arched his eyebrow. "We'll change exits then."
"There's only one exit at night, Will." Kyle felt a chill run down his spine. "Let's stay inside, Will. They won't come in."
Right after he said that, Will's hand trembled, and he paid for the fee.
"Will!" The crossbar slowly went up. Kyle felt like it was waving at them, welcoming them to hell.
Will was surprised as well. "Holy shit! This thing doesn't require my password!"
Someone opened the van's door, and Johnny came out first. He beckoned at the Aston Martin. "Well, come on out then."
"We can't, Will."
"We can't stay here either. You can't stay in school forever."
Kyle felt like crying. That was the same thing he told Kingsley and Courtney when he threatened them just now.
Will gnashed his teeth. "Let's talk to them. See if we can throw money at this. We'll just crash into their car and escape if we can't." Kyle protested, but Will ignored him and stepped on the accelerator. However, the van and a bunch of guys stopped him before he could escape. Will took a deep breath. "Get out of the car. We'll have to throw money at this."
Kyle and Will got out of the car. Johnny and his men came closer, holding their phones. They asked Kyle, "Is this you?"
Kyle looked at the photo, and his stomach churned. T-That's the photo Kingsley took, and I remember him saying, 'You're a target. I don't want the guys to thrash the wrong person.' He had no idea what Kingsley meant, but now he knew, and it almost gave him a heart attack.
"I think that's him, boss. The shirt and hair's the same."
"No way. This guy looks smug as heck in the picture, but this one here looks like a dumbass."
Johnny held his phone closer to Kyle and compared him to the photo. "We got the guy! F*ck him up, boys!"
The burly men turned around and whipped out all kinds of weapons from under their seats. They swung the weapons down at Kyle's head.
"Help!" Kyle held his head tightly and fell to the ground. He wet and soiled his pants at the same time.
"Hold it!" Will shouted nervously, his voice almost a screech.
Johnny swung his steel bar in circles before pointing it at Will. "You're not the guy we want, mate. Stay out of this if you don't want to get hurt!"
