The group of gunmen aimed their guns at Leo, Nadine and Millie. The air seemed to be frozen by the threat of death.
Leo squinted his eyes filled with the smell of danger.
Those gunmen all defected and chose to be on the side of Jimmy. Judged from their determined look, there was no doubt that they had made the final decision.
The moment for Perry to eliminate all oppositions was happening tonight. And that would also be the moment for those gunmen to expect realization of their own benefit.
So they heard Jimmy’s order, they would pull the trigger right away.
A trace of panic flickered across Millie’s face. Though scheming she had been, she was just a fragile lady facing the threat of danger at this moment.
With so many guns directed to her head, her panic seemed quite reasonable.
“You are gonna kill me?” she took a step back instinctively with her body nervously stiff.
Hearing that, Jimmy seemed to look a bit more eased. If she made the compromise a bit earlier, he wouldn’t have pushed it so far.
But he shook his head and replied sincerely, “No, Millie, I don’t wanna kill you. After all, you’re my sister. Listen, come over to me.”
Silent, Millie still kept flinching backward bit by bit.
Obviously, her agitation looked quite conspicuous.
Seeing that, Jimmy tried to persuade her, “Millie, everybody in the world keeps the same wish deep down their hearts—to live a peaceful life. You’re no exception. If you leave, I promise you can live a happy and wealthy life.”
“Peace, huh?” Millie sneered and added, “Don’t you feel ashamed? Those flowing filthy blood inside the body like you spare no effort to kill whoever in the family stands in your way to seize the power of leadership! You must get what you want even by ruining the family, huh?”
But Jimmy showed no regret, “We deserve it.”
“You are one of the immediate. You never know how we feel as being the unlawful blood! Now we just want to take back what should belong to us!”
“Belong to you? That should be mine!” Millie suddenly shouted loud, “Stop talking nonsense! You just want to fulfill your selfish ambition!”
“Millie, I am running out of patience. But you can still leave safely tonight. But he can’t!”
With a tremor, Millie turned to look at Leo. Then she shook her head, “I am not leaving! Just kill me if you dare!”
Jimmy smirked, “It’s up to you. Now you have two options—hand over your property and bow to me. Or you can have a bullet
in your head.”
Everyone could tell Jimmy still want to spare Leo’s life because of his talent of fighting plus his follower—Nadine, such an
incredible warrior. Jimmy believed he could soon eliminate the Spencers as long as both of them were willing to work for him.
Hearing that, Millie showed a weird change of her expression.
Andrew, the only one here who had attended the auction in Hopkins back then, had been taken away. Now Millie was the only
one who had a clear understanding about the power of Leo.
He even deemed Brooke and Caleb, the young generation born in the most noble families, as a nobody. Now Jimmy actually
dreamt of Leo yielding to him. How ridiculous!
Leo smiled and looked around. Then he smirked as well, “Even the royal famities in Valenham failed making me yield. Not to
mention you.”
Actually, Perry was more powerful than those families of the first tier in Emerdale. However, Leo still despised him, which
stunned the rest of them even including Perry himself.
When he was about to give the order to shoot, Leo suddenly smiled weirdly, “Hey, do a math. One gun versus twenty of them.
Which side outruns the other?”
Jimmy only assumed that Leo also kept his own gun secretly. So he just sneered, “That’s a no-brainer to choose the side of
twenty. Even if you have your own gun, you will be shot to death.”
