Chapter 302
Austin was still on the ground, his eyes glassy with fear.
Edward had guessed every word he intended to say.However, the way Edward said those words made them sound less threatening.
"Unless...he and that other guy earlier were never afraid of my family in the first place," Austin thought.
Realizing that, he quickly turned to look at Darius, who now sat in the car.
He continued to ponder, "This man owns the latest gun model, which comes with a hefty price tag.It’s enough to purchase at least a quarter of Anderson Group’s shares! If I hadn't accidentally seen : the gun earlier, I wouldn't have realized it was such an expensive model!"
He then propped himself off the ground, sitting upright while still trembling.
Throughout the process, he cautiously eyed Edward.He knew Edward was a skilled fighter and was worried the latter would stop him from trying to talk to Darius.
If that were to happen, he would never get the chance to see Darius again.
Fortunately, things went smoothly; Austin turned to look at Darius through the car window.
Darius’ attention was not on Austin at all.
Even his gun was now missing.
A tinge of disappointment flashed across Austin’s eyes, thinking he had imagined everything.
Meanwhile, Edward's brows twitched slightly.
He then walked over to place a hand on Austin’s shoulder.
Austin had just sat upright, but Edward’s brief contact made him sprawl on the ground again.
Following that, Austin zoned out, his mind no longer focusing on the present.
Yet, he soon noticed that Edward had run out of patience.
His body broke out in an uncontrollable tremor while his eyes widened.
Sadly, Edward did not allow him to speak.
Edward stomped hard onto Austin's shoulder, calmly stating, "I hate that look of yours.
All I want to do is gouge your eyes out, so it'll take a lot of effort from me not to act on that urge."
That only terrified Austin even more.
Without giving the matter more thought, he shut his eyes, then thrashed around to break free.
