The person in the photos shocked him!
‘Marcus?’
Nicholas snapped his head up to look at Yale. His eyes filled with disbelief.
“What, you’ve met this person before?” Yale sneered.
Nicholas put down the photos. His facial expression remained the same.
“This is the man I want you to kill.” Yale stared into his eyes. “Memorize his face, N. Don’t kill the wrong man!”
“What do you mean?”
Yale’s laughter was strange. He laughed for a long time, so long that Nicholas almost lost his patience.
“Okay, I’ll stop beating around the bush,” Yale said coldly. “This man is Zephyr Hamerton, the third son of the Hamertons! My grandfather had just flown to North Armania to meet a few dignitaries. He doesn’t have time for his family… This is the best time to do it!”
Nicholas frowned.
Never had he thought Cordelia’s husband was Zephyr!
From the few encounters lately, she did not seem to know his real identity, yet she protected him. If he had really hurt Zephyr, perhaps that woman would have made him pay the price.
He was not afraid of a woman, but she was Linda’s best friend…
Nicholas let out a long sigh, staring at Yale with a complicated expression. After falling silent for a moment, he decided to reject the job.
He said in a deep voice, “Sir, this is tricky. Please, think it through.”
Yale played with the lighter in his hand casually while puffing on the cigar in his mouth. He scoffed at him.
“I’m worried about you.” Nicholas smirked. “I heard he’s spoiled by the old man. The rumor has it that he’ll inherit the Hamertons. If he’s suddenly gone, won’t your grandfather get to the bottom of it?
“Hah, sir, the Hamertons are not to be offended. If they come to me… I can't handle them!”
“So that’s what you’re afraid of?” Yale revealed a strange expression. He lifted his hand slowly and slammed it twice.
