On the other hand, Boss was on the way back home.
He leaned back in his chair as blood trickled down his arm. Someone was treating his wound beside him.
A wave of fury crashed through him as he thought of how he failed to kill Kenneth despite the perfect opportunity handed to him on a plate.
Right then, the man in the front seat whirled around with a fearful expression on his face. “Boss, we're in trouble.”
Hearing that, Boss raised his head slowly to look at the man.
Seeing his hostile gaze, the man faltered and dared not utter another word.
“Say it!” Boss growled.
After a brief moment of hesitation, the man revealed, “T-The money is gone.”
Boss' eyes narrowed into slits. “What do you mean by the money is gone?”
“Well, the transaction went through previously, but I don't know why it is gone now...” the man answered in a trembling voice.
Refusing to believe him, Boss leaned forward and grabbed the laptop from him to check the account himself. Indeed, the balance on his account was zero.
“Impossible. This is impossible,” Boss muttered under his breath as he shook his head. He raised his head and narrowed his eyes at the man in the front seat.
Pulling out a gun, he pointed it at the man's head and demanded, “Tell me. Was it you who transferred the money out of the account?”
Shocked, the man raised his hands and clarified frantically, “There's no way I would do so! I don't have the guts. Look, there is no transaction history in the account. We didn't receive the money earlier!”
Frowning, Boss checked the transaction history and confirmed that there was no deposit earlier.
He narrowed his eyes and scowled unhappily.
After pondering for a moment, he looked up and questioned, “What do you think happened?”
The man mulled over it for a while and replied, “I think the previous transaction record was an error. If that's not the case, they could have hired a capable hacker who transferred the money away.”
“Hacker, huh?” Boss muttered as anger flared in his gaze.
As he fell silent, the man in the front seat asked, “Boss, what should we do now? Without the money, we can't report back to General Will. He won't believe us. In fact, he will kill us all!”
Boss knew that well, but he couldn't help but feel frustrated and furious.
“Boss—”
“Shut up!” Boss roared.
The man fell silent and gazed at Boss worriedly.
Boss remained quiet for a long while as he stared at the laptop. He knew that Will would take his life after finding out what happened here.
A while later, Boss clenched his fists and looked at the rest. “Tonight, ask General Will to come over. Don't tell him anything.”
“Invite General Will over? But we—”
“I will figure out a way. Just do as I say!” Boss ordered.
Despite their fear, the other two men had no choice but to obey his order.
Boss stared at the laptop as his fists balled up.
J! One day, you'll come to me on your knees. If that day comes, I'll make sure your life becomes a living hell!
That night, Boss was still staring at the laptop screen in his tent. Alas, the balance was still zero.
It was pretty obvious to him that it was all Kenneth's doing.
I thought I punished him, but he screwed me over in the end.
A commotion sounded outside.
“General Will.”
Hearing the noise, Boss glanced at the door and shut his laptop.
Will strode into the tent.
Boss went over to him and greeted, “General Will.”
Will seemed not to notice him and took his seat inside the tent.
A hint of hostility flashed across Boss' eyes as he looked at Will.
Will looked straight at Boss. “Boss, did you ask me to come as you have accomplished your mission?”
Boss nodded in response.
“Where is the money?” Will asked.
“The money is in the account. I need some time to get it out,” came Boss' reply.
Will met his eyes. “No need. Just give me the bank card.”
Boss stayed still and did not respond.
Will looked at him. “Didn't you hear my words?”
Boss parted his lips to reveal, “The card is on the table in front of you.”
Hearing that, Will turned to the table and saw a card there.
His lips curved into a smile. “Good job.”
However, he accidentally cut his hand on a sharp weapon on the table when he reached out to get the card.
“D*mn it!” Will cursed under his breath as blood trickled out of the wound on his hand.
Right then, Boss raised his head to look at him.
After getting the card, Will handed it to Gavin, who was standing beside him.
The man took the card and left the tent.
A complicated glint flashed across Boss' eyes as he watched him leave.
Right then, Will glanced around and inquired, “Where is that woman?”
“Which woman?”
Will paused as his gaze landed on Boss. “Boss, are you playing dumb?”
“I wouldn't dare!”
“You wouldn't dare? I think you do. I said you must bring that woman here! She killed my entire team, so I want to kill her myself!” Will said slowly but surely.
Boss stood there but remained silent.
“Where is she?” Will asked with his gaze fixed on Boss.
“She was saved,” came the answer.
Will narrowed his eyes. “How dare you release that woman?”
“No, I didn't release her. Someone saved her!” Boss corrected.
“That shows you didn't do your job well, Boss. You disappoint me more than ever,” Will said calmly.
“How will you punish me then, General Will?” Boss returned as his gaze fell on Will.
Will was surprised to hear that question from Boss. Hmm, Boss' gaze seems different today.
A while later, he regained his composure and asked, “Boss, are you trying to express your displeasure?”
“I wouldn't dare.”
“You wouldn't dare?” Will snorted. “I think you do! You had the guts to take her away from me. What else can't you do?”
“So? General Will, how are you going to punish me?” Boss asked.
“Look at your attitude. What do you think my decision will be?”
Boss burst into chuckles. “Does that mean you'll punish me whether or not I accomplish my mission?”
Will didn't refute his words. “You're right. A disobedient dog must get disciplined. If he refuses to listen, all that's left to do is to slaughter him...”
Boss laughed maniacally.
“Why are you laughing?”
“General Will, if that is the case, why aren't you taking action?” Boss asked.
An ominous feeling rose in Will's heart when he saw Boss' smile. Gavin entered at that moment.
“General Will, there is nothing inside the card!” he reported.
Will turned to look at Boss. “How dare you lie to me?”
He whipped out his gun and pointed it at Boss.
