Zeke’s agonized expression abruptly vanished, and contempt took its place. “Pfft. You actually believed I was shot? I was only playing along because I figured having your orders fall on deaf ears would be really awkward for you.”
What the f***...
Reuben felt like puking blood.
What the hell is going on?
Where are my snipers? Why aren’t they firing?
F***! How humiliating!
What!
Mia sobbed harder.
Mr. Williams, do you have some sort of neurological disorder? How can you joke about something like this?
You almost scared me to death just now!
Tears streamed freely down her cheeks as she wailed louder.
Even Hadley, who was hiding somewhere in the dark, was utterly speechless.
Just as the saying went, ‘Every man was born with a sense of humor unique to himself’. Some projected it well, while others couldn’t.
Reuben realized something was wrong and quickly took out his phone to contact his snipers.
However, before he could dial the number, a gunshot rang.
A bullet hit Reuben’s right arm.
The powerful impact of the bullet caused Reuben to stumble three to four meters backwards before he fell heavily to the ground.
“F***ing snipers! F*** you!”
Zeke took the chance to swiftly step forward and untie the ropes that were binding Mia.
Mia hugged Zeke as she wailed, “Mr. Williams, why did you risk your life to save me? Why are you so nice to me? I... I might fall for you like this...”
Zeke felt slightly uncomfortable being hugged like this. “Uhh... Mia, we shouldn’t be too physical with each other. It might create a scandal.”
However, Mia tightened her arms around him. “I don’t care. I’m more than happy to have a scandal with you!”
“But I’m not,” Zeke helplessly replied.
Mia blinked once.
How heartless!
Reuben began fumbling for his gun.
Zeke quickly pushed Mia away and whizzed across the space to heavily stomp on his wrist.
Crack!
His wrist was broken just like that.
F***!
Reuben shrieked like a pig being slaughtered. “B******! Son of a b****! What the hell is going on!”
He tried breathing through the pain and panted out, “How dare you snipers betray me. I’ll murder all your families!”
Reuben thought Zeke had bought over his snipers.
Zeke shook his head and corrected him, “No, they didn’t betray you. They portrayed their undying loyalty to you instead.”
He then straightened and said, “Come on out.”
Soon, the snipers made their appearances.
However, they were already corpses who couldn’t be more dead.
It was Hadley and her assassins who had dragged their corpses over!
As Reuben gaped at the assassins and his dead snipers, he immediately broke down in fear.
“Assassins... Assassins... Which... Which organization do you belong to? Don’t you know I work for Mr. Quin...”
His eyes then widened in shock. “Wait, aren’t you Hadley Murphy? You lot are from the Necro Organization! F***! How dare the Necro Organization go against Mr. Quin? Are you seeking death?”
“Call me Daddy,” Hadley said with indifference.
This brainless sentence stunned everyone present.
How could such a delicate-looking girl like to be called ‘Daddy’?
What kind of kinky fetish was this?
Only Zeke knew the inside story to this. Under that enchanting exterior of hers was the heart of a domineering lad.
When Reuben realized all hope was lost, despair grew in his heart.
Even so, he refused to admit defeat. “Zeke Williams, don’t be happy so soon. It’s not decided yet who will have the last laugh. My Thirteen Guardians will avenge me!”
Zeke grinned and took out a plastic bag, throwing it on the floor in front of Reuben. “Thirteen Guardians, right? They’re all resting in peace now. You can check that plastic bag if you don’t believe me.”
Reuben suspiciously peeked into the bag before a violent shudder went through his body.
