These words instantly made Zach choke for a moment.
He raised his hand to cover his chest, not knowing for a moment what else to say.
At this point, Levi's lips were sharp and a layer of frost was gathered between his brows as he angrily questioned, "What exactly do you want to do?"
Solomon said coldly, "There is only one thing I want to do, and that is to kill Zach! To avenge my youngest son!"
As his words fell, he stared at Levi and Ruby and suddenly snorted.
"But now it seems that there is no need for me to do it myself, Mr. Finn, since you want to keep your beloved alive, then you will step in and help me put an end Zach’s life, after that I will naturally give you the antidote and let her live in peace, what do you say?"
At these words, Ruby's hand immediately clenched into a fist, holding back the pain and gritting her teeth as she chided, "Your wishful thinking is all over the place!"
"Heh, I wasn't going to use you two, but you came in here and spoil my fun! Since that's the case, don't blame me for being rude!"
With that, he laughed with a near-mad carnival laugh.
"No matter what, I want Zach's life today! If you don't get rid of him today, then you can watch this woman die in front of you! Don't blame me for not reminding you, the poison in her body can only last for a few hours at most, once that time is up, she's dead! That's not much time for you to think about it."
Levi's body was all tense, one hand holding Ruby, one hand clenched into a fist at his side.
Ruby leaned weakly and feebly into his arms, struggling to lift her eyelids to look at him, her gaze skimming over his delicately defined jaw and shaking her head gently at him.
In fact, whether Zach was dead or alive was irrelevant to her.
The reason why she stopped Solomon was because she didn't want him to get into any trouble, at least for the moment, she still needed to use him.
As for Levi, she didn't want him to get into any trouble because of herself!
But for Levi, nothing was as important as Ruby.
Even if it meant taking Zach's life, he still wanted Ruby to live well!
At that moment, his eyebrows knitted together and his eyes flashed with a touch of hostility.
"Well? Have you thought it over? I'm telling you, I don't have much patience!"
Solomon had the upper hand at this point and wiped the blood stain from the corner of his mouth, smiling ever more smugly.
Just as the atmosphere was searing to its peak, Zach suddenly grasped the edge of the bed tremulously and poked his body out with difficulty.
He covered his mouth with one hand and coughed a few times before he could barely catch his breath.
"Solomon, this is your grudge against me, I have done my own sins, now it's up to you to kill me or not, anyway, I will not live long, since you want my life so much, just take it, what you have hatred, let’s settle it today. It's all right!"
He exhaled a heavy breath and then looked at Levi.
"Colonel Finn, just, just do what he says!"
As he said this, he smiled bitterly as if remembering something.
"I'd rather not bother you, Colonel Finn, to do it, to save you from getting your hands dirty and getting into trouble, I'll do it myself."
