Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 921

Chapter 921 He Is Born Cold-Blooded and Ruthless

Adrien leaned against the wall at the far end of the hallway and smoked.

Lea walked over to him apprehensively. She knew Adrien was a powerful man whom Sharon and Anthony were both sucking up to. So she knew she could not afford to offend him. But he was responsible for Kisa and Gilbert’s fallout. Whenever she saw Kisa’s grief–stricken face, she had wanted to tell the truth but did not dare. She was still too timid and cowardly.

“Mr. Tanner.”

“Anthony dotes on you, doesn’t he?” Adrien asked an entirely unrelated question. Lea was transfixed for a moment, not saying anything. He exhaled a ring of smoke and smiled absently. “I wanted to kill you a few times, but Anthony stopped me.”

Lea was wide–eyed, not fearing his killing intent but in shock that Anthony would protect her.

“You and Anthony are pretty close, too, aren’t you?” Adrien looked at her. He had a gentle smile on his face, but the look in his eyes was intimidating. “Frankly speaking, Anthony is just a stooge of the Mullen family. I can have him kicked out of the Mullen family and also put him in charge of the Mullen family. The key depends on how you behave.”

“Me?” Lea was too stunned to speak.

Adrien suddenly drew closer to her and chuckled. “I don’t like killing people. If you are smart, then keep your mouth shut. If you talk too much, you and Anthony… Heh!” Adrien said nothing more, but that last chuckle had a strong, chillingly threatening connotation. He stubbed out his cigarette, walked past her, and headed for Jensen’s ward.

Lea tugged tightly at the straps of her backpack. Her back was wet with sweat because of her internal struggle. A moment later, she finally exhaled and smiled self- deprecatingly, conscious of the fact that she was also an extremely selfish person.
