Chapter 612
After thinking about how dire everything was, Lucy could not help but ask Cain, “What should we do now? How am I going to spend the rest of my life if you end up being killed by the Slasher Gang one day? Doesn’t that mean your wealth will all disappear too? How am I supposed to survive then?!”
Cain frowned and sneered. ‘All she thinks about is money! It’s as if her sole concern is how she’ll be able to survive if I’m dead! However, when he thought about how Lucy had been taking care of him the past few days after his legs were broken, he said to her, “I have a lot of money on me, but I can’t transfer everything to you. How about I give you a hundred and fifty million for now, so you’ll have enough to sustain you for the rest of your life if someone from the Slasher Gang kills me one day? Does that sound all right?”
“A hundred and fifty million?!” Lucy gasped when she heard that and felt excitement deep in her heart. However, she soon calmed herself down as much as possible and said to him, “You’ve been so kind to me, Cain. I hope you can understand where I’m coming from because it’s not easy for men to understand women. This isn’t about me loving money. I’m just worried that I won’t have anyone to rely on if you’re not around anymore. Besides, you know that my parents are getting old too!”
“Yes, Lucy, I understand!” Cain nodded, and said, “But I believe that the Slasher Gang will send an even stronger person once they get word of what happened here. Severin’s fate is now sealed, so we can’t run away now. If we stay here, we might still be able to witness the moment they kill Severin!”
Lucy, however, said, “But Cherridom is so far from here! They would take some time to come here, and I’m worried that Severin might capture us and kill us before the Slasher Gang’s strong people arrive!”
Cain thought for a while and said, “Well, if you are worried, then we can move to an old neighborhood for the time being. Severin won’t be able to find us so easily that way!”
“Old neighborhood?” Lucy was not too happy when she heard that she would have to stay in that sort of old community again. After all, it was not easy for her to lower her living standards after finally being able to live in the big villa that was the stuff of her dreams.
However, she could only nod bitterly because it was a necessary move to save her life. The two of them hired some people to help them move in that one night and temporarily stayed in a ghetto community.
The next morning. Cain picked up his cell phone and called the Slasher Gang’s higher-ups after confirming that Mehdi and the others were all dead.
For safety’s sake, Diane and the others stayed at home the next day, with Lillie and the other girls breathing a sigh of relief after knowing that Severin would be back in just another day.
