The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 579

Chapter 579: Edjiot

[Gigante Square]

Fear hung in the air, and a thick silence cemented the dread creeping into everybody’s chests. Men had to watch the mercenaries drag some of them away—especially the elderly who couldn’t physically comply with being told to "hurry."

"Better fix how you look at me, boy," one of the mercenaries warned the men, who were obviously glaring at them fiercely. "I can shoot you down right here and now."

"Move!" another mercenary’s voice echoed, sharp and threatening. "Go! Stop stalling!"

The mercenary pushed the elderly woman, almost making her slide forward onto the ground. Fortunately, one of the residents was quick to react and caught her.

"She’s old," the man muttered. "I’ll help her."

The mercenary clicked his tongue and then tipped his head, allowing the man to assist the elderly woman so they could begin moving.

These mercenaries left behind had one order to fulfill before leaving the town. That was to end every man and elderly person in Gigante. They could’ve easily done it in the square, but with so many people, carrying it out there would be more troublesome.

After all, they couldn’t just leave bodies rotting around and pollute the already polluted air of the territory. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

As for the women and children, they still had their uses. Besides, women were naturally weaker than men. So even if they were kept alive, there wasn’t much they could do. And it was easier to manipulate the children and train them from a young age.

"Go! Keep this line!" one of the mercenaries roared, his voice echoing through the air.

He stood to the side, watching as the men and elderly of Gigante formed a line while following some of the mercenaries to the place where they would take their last breath.

Meanwhile, the boss and the lackey—the two of Lola’s hostages—stayed quiet. The lackey was even assisting an elderly man, copying what others were doing to blend in perfectly. As for the boss, he kept his head hung low.

The two of them weren’t kind people. In fact, they were not good people at all.

Under different circumstances, they would be the ones doing wicked things. Well, they wouldn’t participate in a massacre, but they would do anything to survive in this territory. But like Lola said, they weren’t qualified enough, and the best they could do was play pretend.

Perhaps they just weren’t cut out to play the big villain roles. Because, despite their hardened hearts and rotten souls, this situation unsettled them. Not that they didn’t know things like this happened in this land.

They had heard about it far too many times, but this was the first time they were about to witness the dreadful massacre of a town.

"Boss," the lackey whispered, snapping the boss out of his thoughts. He looked around nervously, leaning closer as he continued, "What are we going to do?"

As the question rolled off his tongue, the lackey and the boss caught a few men glancing in their direction. The lackey pressed his lips into a thin line, unsure whether being heard by the townsfolk was a good thing.

After all, Lola had told them one thing: rescue the residents.

And since they were here with these men—and Lola was with the women—they automatically had to take responsibility for this crowd.

But how?

The boss’s face grimmed at the thought, realizing he didn’t have an answer either. This group was large—not just ten or twenty people. These were the men and elderly from the entire town. Even with Gigante’s small population, there were at least fifty people in this line.

And there were only two of them.

"..." The boss’s eyes lit up briefly as he slowly gazed at the men marching to their graves and then at the mercenaries on either side of them.

The lackey studied him. "Boss?"
