Hearing his words, Carl smiled strangely and said, "Is that so?"
Looking at him, Jonell felt a shiver run down his spine.
"Do you want them to apologize to you?" asked Carl as he looked at Jonell. His emerald eyes were as cold as ice.
"Of course." Jonell didn't dare to challenge Carl since the latter was armed. Although he knew Carl was a dangerous man, he knew he was safe since Carl was on his side.
On the other hand, Carl shut his eyes briefly before reopening them. Then, he said, "Miss Eswadia, are you going to apologize to him? All you have to do is kneel, which is something you women do often, right?"
Hearing his comment, Xavien attempted to speak, but Abigail stopped him by grabbing his shoulder.
Turning her pistol around, Abigail slowly put her gun down. Looking at Carl's smug smile, she suddenly raised the gun, seized his collar, and tossed him aside. Then, she quickly jumped over the bar counter.
At the same time, Xavien promptly hid under the table.
When Carl crashed against the table, he cursed, "Sh*t! Shoot them! I want them dead!"
Jonell was almost caught in the crossfire. In that split second, he realized Carl wasn't here to help him. He was here because he wanted to settle scores with Abigail.
Abigail stealthily approached a bodyguard on the opposite side of the bar. Then, she incapacitated him and took his machine gun.
After shooting all the bodyguards, she wielded a gun in each hand and fired in Carl's direction.
Carl didn't expect Abigail to be so strong. Then, he quickly looked for cover behind a pillar while his bodyguards protected him.
Abigail swapped guns and went to Xavien's side. She shielded him as they made their way towards the exit.
"Let's stop here now, sir. You better pray I won't be able to find anything about you. Otherwise, you better get out of New Yoke as soon as possible!" Abigail said before leaving with Xavien.
After they left, Carl came out behind the pillar with a grim expression. He slapped the bodyguard beside him and scolded. "Useless! You guys can't even handle a woman!"
"Are you certain Simond is here?" asked another bodyguard.
"Are you doubting me?" Carl lashed out. "Even if he doesn't show up today, it'll be a matter of time before he does. I want to know everything about that woman! With Xavien injured, there's nothing she can do!" He refused to believe that Simond would continue hiding once Abigail was being hunted.
After that, he noticed Jonell, who was standing up. Then, he smirked and said, "Seize him. I heard that a woman named Abigail wanted to know his whereabouts."
...
As Abigail helped Xavien into the car, she pressed down on the gas pedal and drove towards the hotel.
Xavien endured the pain as he took his tablet to investigate Carl. After thirty minutes, his expression was solemn. "Carl is Simond's nemesis. We're being targeted because of him."
"This guy... I knew that nothing good comes from getting entangled with him." Abigail gritted her teeth.
She couldn't believe that he had left a nemesis for them after his departure. What does this have to do with me?
Carl was acting quite bold earlier, so she knew that he was a strong influence in New Yoke. Thus, it was only a matter of time before he found out their whereabouts. This place was risky, she thought. Once Xavien underwent surgery, Abigail knew it was time for them to leave.
