Harold shouted, "You lied to me!?"
"Only a naive kid would fall for that. I can't believe you actually thought I'd keep her safe. How did someone from the Aldridge family end up being such a fool?"
Kiran was ruthless and quick, clearly outmatching Harold.
Watching all this unfold, Gordon gripped the armrest tightly. What was happening in front of him was beyond anything he had expected.
Those four gems... it seemed like their chance had passed, so why were they still glowing so brightly? Was there still hope?
Sophie was quick on her feet, but she soon noticed Gordon standing alone.
Just as Sophie was about to run over to Gordon, Joseph had already aimed a gun at him, saying, "I've put up with you long enough! Have her hand over the gems, or I'll make sure you die again!"
"You really think I'd bring you here without a backup plan?"
With that, Gordon pressed a hidden button behind the armrest, and suddenly, countless gun barrels were pointed at everyone.
Apart from the shimmering gold, the cave was pitch dark, and though it wasn't clear if anyone was lurking in those shadowy corners, Joseph could definitely hear the guns.
They were surrounded by all these ominous gun barrels.
"You set up an ambush? No way."
Joseph couldn't believe Gordon had the guts to set up an ambush here. Who in their right mind would work for Gordon when faced with such treasure?
"Without preparation, how could I possibly take on Mr. Burke? Joseph, you've been plotting for ages. If you were to die now, wouldn't you be pretty upset?"
