The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1586

"You know exactly what kind of scum they are!"

"I might be a bastard, but I still know that loyalty to the country comes first!"

Gideon scoffed. "If you had that kind of moral compass, you wouldn't be in this line of work."

"Stop acting like a saint when your hands are just as dirty!"

"I'm telling you, Zane, let her go. If this girl is as important as you say, we're both going to be eating prison food when the cops show up!"

Truthfully, hearing that the target was a medical prodigy made Gideon second-guess his involvement.

If he had known, he would have demanded triple the payout. The risk was astronomical, and the money didn't match the danger.

No wonder Zane had been dragging his feet—he was definitely trying to extort more cash.

"I tried to warn you. If you're dead set on digging your own grave, go ahead. Keep pushing, Gideon, and enjoy your all-inclusive stay behind bars!"

Gideon was notoriously stubborn. He had come prepared and wasn't going to back down easily.

Since he had brought more muscle than Zane had on hand, he had the tactical advantage in a firefight and wasn't intimidated in the slightest.

Tempers flared, and the two crews actually started throwing punches.

Reese and the driver watched in mounting panic. What were they supposed to do now?

If they didn't run right this second, it would be too late!

Moving in perfect synchronization, Reese and the driver bolted for the SUV.

As for Zachary, the idiot who claimed he had influence with his cousin had proven to be completely useless!

They weren't taking him with them.

"Zane! Boss! Stop fighting! Reese and the others are making a run for it!"

Zachary's sharp eyes caught the driver covering Reese as they retreated, and panic seized him.

The cops were breathing down their necks, and these gangsters were too busy swinging at each other to notice!

"Go stop them," Zane ordered his most trusted lieutenant.

The man was a former underground boxer from Southeast Asia and absolutely lethal in a fight.
