My Reborn Apocalypse Begins with a Divorce novel Chapter 97

Chapter 97

Whether it was Sean or Bruce, their endings would be no different.

“The fog hasn’t lifted yet. Fine–I’ll play along a little longer,” Ray muttered to himself.

In any case, he had no intention of leaving the villa. From the moment he stayed put, he already stood in an invincible position.

What was there to fear? A head–on confrontation?

So what if Sean had countless followers? So what if Bruce’s bodyguards were highly trained, even former mercenaries?

Under overwhelming firepower, all lives were equal.

“The only thing I need to watch out for is getting stabbed in the back. And for that, I just need to be careful of women who come knocking. Any unfamiliar woman could be sent by either of those two factions.

“Even Honey and Amanda might turn on me. It’s all about profits.

“As long as a woman is foolish enough to believe the terms someone offers her–like promising half the supplies after taking me down–she might fall for it.

“After all, there’s no real emotional bond between me and them. It’s purely transactional. If I believed there was any trust between us, I’d be the biggest fool on earth.”
