“What are you doing, Kimbra? Put the gun down. He is an esteemed guest of the Elvis family.”
The middle-aged man looked at Kimbra’s unkind expression with displeasure and his tone was reprimanding.
“Solander, this has nothing to do with the Elvis family. This is a private matter between me and Jagoan!” Kimbra rejected him blatantly.
Kimbra continued to glare at Jagoan, like a predator at its prey.
From a neglected second son, Kimbra had suddenly become the head of the Kurt family overnight. This emboldened him but also made him feel very insecure.
The taste of power was too addictive, and now that he knew how it felt, he never wanted to let it go. He would not allow anyone who could threaten his power to exist, let alone someone who very likely had come to a secret agreement with his father, Baltimore.
No matter how well he was ruling the Kurt family, the fact that he succeeded this position through tricks would always be a stain on his legacy.
There were still many who disapproved of him in the family. Those people were most likely still loyal to his father Baltimore and his older brother.
Once they find out that there was a chance to turn the tables, they would not hesitate before casting him into the abyss of despair.
Jagoan was the source of all this risk, and he needed to get rid of him before things had the chance to get out of hand.
Jagoan remained unfazed when he saw the gun barrels facing him, and merely pulled out his pistol from the guard’s mouth. Then, he pulled out a piece of wet tissue from his pocket to clean the saliva off his pistol.
He acted as if he was not the target those guns were pointing at.
From the conversation between Solander and Kimbra, Jagoan came to understand who this middle-aged man was.
“Mhmm. I’m Jagoan, but who are you? Do I know you?” Jagoan continued to clean his pistol and his tone was filled with indifference.
Kimbra was enraged by Jagoan’s uncaring attitude and pulled out a gun from behind him. After loading it, he strode over and pressed the barrel of his gun against Jagoan’s head.
