"Hahaha!" Thomas Shelby finally burst into laughter.
"Amos Granger, you finally have something you care about, huh? Very well! Listen up, you have to come to the West Hill alone this evening. If you dare to bring the police, then you'd prepare to clean up your lover's body!"
Wendy's cries were heard on the phone, and then the call was hung up.
"Hey!" Amos called again, but what was left was the busy tone after the phone call ended.
He was extremely irritated, and he took a deep breath to suppress his emotions. Then, he looked up at Harley Louis next to him.
"You should go back!"
Harley was dumbstruck. "What's going on?"
"Nothing. You must be tired too. He wants to meet us tomorrow, so you should go back now, have a good rest and recover your energy and strength."
Upon hearing this, Harley looked at him suspiciously. "Really?"
Amos didn't say anything else. He got up, and went to the lounge next to him to lie down.
Uh-huh?
Harley was a little convinced, but he was still suspicious.
"Thomas Shelby, that b*stard, I'll teach him a lesson tomorrow."
After that, he said to Amos again, "Have a good rest. I'll bring some people here tomorrow morning."
Amos waited for the sound of Harley's footsteps to distance further, then he sat up from the bed to change into a set of casual sportswear. Then, he opened the door, and went out.
He happened to run into Clint Zuckerberg, who was a little confused seeing his laid back and relaxed demeanour.
"President Granger, what are you doing..."
Amos repeated what he said to Harley earlier, and Clint did not suspect him either. He thought that he was really going back to rest.
Amos went straight downstairs, and drove the car towards West Hill.
On West Hill, the wind of the season was blowing.
After Amos parked his car, his phone rang again.
"Destroy the sim card and throw it away! Then, walk 200 meters forward."
It was Thomas' voice. Amos frowned as he looked around him subconsciously. Was Thomas spying on him?
Thomas' voice came from the phone again, "Hurry up, stop dawdling!"
After that, he kicked the person next to him. Amos faintly heard Eudora's voice, and his face darkened.
Then, he pulled out the sim card to destroy it. He closed the car door, and walked forward for 200 meters, as instructed by Thomas. His vision was suddenly bright and clear.
There was an abandoned factory not far ahead. At the first glance, it really looked like that factory in the States.
Amos frowned and thought, Thomas must have really bad intentions.
However, he still had to go.
When Eudora woke up again, she found herself suspended in the air, with her wrists being pulled by the rope. It hurt so much, as if her wrists would fall apart any second.
It was pitch black all around her, and she could only hear the sound of something cracking.
Her whole body tightened, and she felt goosebumps all over her body. Eudora always found this scene to be familiar, it subconsciously reminded her of a horrible idea in the depths of her heart.
"Thomas!" Amos gritted his teeth, stealing one glance at Eudora.
Eudora didn't look at Amos at all, or rather, she didn't dare to look at him. In fact, she already knew in her heart that Amos wouldn't choose her.
It was just like what he said when Thomas was on the phone with him. They were just putting on a show, and she was the only one who took it seriously, like a fool.
"Have you not decided yet?" Thomas' voice rang again. Amos opened his mouth slightly, looking at Wendy, who was already suffocating. He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Wendy Liam!"
Sure enough!
Eudora secretly formed a smile at the corner of her mouth, and the last ounce of hope at the bottom of her eyes instantly vanished into thin air.
"Good, very good!"
After saying that, Thomas hooked his finger at Amos and said, "Come to me, and I'll let her go."
Amos took a deep breath, he had no extra time to think about it at this time. He went straight to the spot where Thomas had told him to stand.
Thomas nodded with satisfaction as he said, "Amos, why were you so stubborn? If you had been this obedient earlier, and just cooperated with me, would you have ended up like this today?"
"Stop talking nonsense. Let her go!"
"You asked for it! Amos Granger! I just hope that you won't regret it."
Thomas blurted those words out of the blue, and Amos didn't even realize what he had meant that instant.
The next thing he knew, Thomas had already started to lower Wendy. While Wendy was going down, Eudora who was next to her rose at the same time. The mouth of the exhaust station was right on top of her. It opened its mouth wide, like a monster preparing to devour people.
Amos felt a chill in his heart. "Thomas, what are you trying to do?"
Thomas laughed hysterically and said, "What do you think? Wasn't this woman your toy? What's wrong? Are you reluctant to part with her now?"
