Chapter 2274
Christopher was dressed in a white shirt stained bright red with blood, and was standing at the church entrance, clutching a green canvas backpack. Amid the screams of the startled wedding guests, he unzipped his backpack, revealing a fruit knife with a blade that was almost half a meter long.
The shiny blade was stained with blood, and as Christopher slowly removed it from his bag, droplets of blood trickled down the edge and onto the floor.
The wedding guests erupted into screams of terror, and in a split second, the entire hall was reduced to chaos as everyone flurried about, trying to escape.
Onstage, Jim narrowed his eyes as he stared coldly at Christopher.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Having known Christopher for so many years, he could tell at once that something was not right.
Christopher’s attitude, as well as the crazed look in his eyes, seemed to suggest that something unusual was going on.
“What’s wrong with me, you ask?” Christopher slowly made his way toward the stage, clutching the knife with a cold sneer on his face.
“What do you think? What did you promise me, Jim Landry? “ I told you that I was about to head on an important mission, and after returning from my task, I’d bring June to a faraway city in the north where no one knew us, where we could start our lives afresh.
“I even asked you to help me take care of Bonnie and June before I left.”
A glimmer of malice flashed past Christopher’s eyes as he continued, “Jim, you knew fully well how much Bonnie and June mean to me. One of them is the only woman I’ve ever loved, and the other is my daughter.
“They’re the only two people I care about, apart from my demented father and you, but what did you do to repay me?”
