qThe assassin pointed the gun at Francesca, warning sternly, “Tell that thing to get off right now or I'll kill you!”
“Put down your gun now,” Francesca retaliated in an unhurried manner, raising her brow. “If not, your leader is going to die.”
“You—”
“Ah!”
Before the assassin could speak, the green snake bit into Pastor's neck, causing the latter to scream in agony. In the blink of an eye, his face flushed.
The assassin put down his gun hurriedly, not daring to threaten Francesca anymore.
As for the other assassins, they were shocked and at a loss for what to do.
“If anything happens to me, none of you will be leaving here alive. Ah!” Pastor shouted.
He was quite incredible for being able to warn Francesca even while being in so much pain.
Thinking Francesca was one of Danrique's subordinates, Edward quickly advised, “Mr. Lindberg, we can talk this out—”
“She's not one of my men. I can't control her.” Danrique shrugged, looking as though there was nothing he could do.
“All the people out there are Pastor's men.” Edward panicked, and he persuaded, “If something happens to him, we're all going to suffer.”
Francesca frowned. Just as she was about to speak, Danrique suddenly clapped. The windows opened and a group of bodyguards leaped in from the windows, aiming their guns at Pastor's assassin.
Everything happened in a flash. Before the assassins could come to their senses, they were already restrained.
At the same time, the door opened, and the other bodyguards of the Lindberg family rushed in. Meanwhile, all the assassins had crashed to the ground.
“You—” Pastor was shocked by the scene before him. “So, you were prepared.”
“It's always best to be on one's guard,” Danrique said plainly. “If you talk nicely, I'll do the same. Since you chose to take action, I can't just do nothing, can I?”
“Edward—” When Pastor was about to speak, he crashed onto the sofa in pain.
“Looks like I, the middleman, have become a joke.” Edward smiled bitterly and said in a pleading tone, “Now that things have come to this point, I just hope you guys don't slaughter each other in my territory for my sake.”
