Chapter 439
Quentin possessed a chillingly icy voice that sent shivers down the spine. His gaze exuded a sinister energy and a palpable thirst for blood, like a predator stalking its prey. He emanated a real sense of danger, filling the air with menacing energy that left everyone on edge.
Even Primate couldn’t help but feel a sense of intimidation when confronted with Quentin’s unfiltered and menacing
energy.
Despite being just a lowly captain within the ranks of the mercenary group, he knew that Quentin, always lurking, had the potential to replace him at any given moment.
Hence, he dared not provoke Quentin, cautioning, “Quentin, cut the nonsense. Let’s wait for Mr. Payne’s orders.”
Quentin’s rage boiled over as he jabbed a finger at Haylan, “You better watch yourself!”
Haylan remained unmoved, his icy gaze locked onto Quentin as if staring at a lifeless body.
If it weren’t for the risk of revealing his true identity and inviting unnecessary complications, this lowly mercenary would have wasted no time in cutting down the insolent fool who dared to provoke him.
“Alright, go back to your position, and don’t interfere with Mr. Payne’s plan!” Primate said in a deep, commanding voice. Quentin seethed with anger, but upon hearing the words ‘Mr. Payne, he reluctantly swallowed his pride and returned to his position, no longer causing a further commotion.
However, his gaze toward Haylan still brimmed with menacing energy.
Only then did Primate turn his gaze toward Haylan, his eyes narrowing with a chilling intensity as he spoke, “Ben, have you gone mad?”
“At a time like this, no longer any prey belongs to you.”
“These individuals are the wealth of our organization, the Bloody Devil!”
“You can have all the wealth, but this woman belong to me. Haylan declared.
Primate’s expression hardened as he walked over, luis voice low and intense. “Ben, have you lost your mind today? Quentin’s cousin is highly respected in Mr. Payne’s inner circle.”
“You’re playing with fire by going after his woman, right?”
Haylan couldn’t help but let out a chuckle at those words.
Mercenaries have always been an organization that valued strength above all else. Still, it was laughable to see how these personal connections played a role within the ranks of the Bloody Devil.
While speaking, Primate glanced at Christine, and a slight shift in his gaze was evident.
This woman was undoubtedly stunningly beautiful, captivating hearts with her irresistible charm.
No wonder she had Quentin and Ben at each other’s throats, willing to shred their bonds in a fierce competition!
He caught sight of her and felt his heart skip a beat.
Primate took a deep breath, channeling his energy as he pushed down his desires. He locked eyes with Haylan and spoke firmly, “While the woman may hold allure, life takes precedence. I’ve said my piece; now it’s up to you to make your own choice.”
With those final words, he turned on his heel and made his exit.
After they had all left, Haylan spoke softly, comforting her, “Don’t worry, I’m here with you. Everything will be alright.” Christine instinctively shrunk back and sought shelter behind Haylan.
“Get over here!”
Haylan assumed an exaggeratedly rough demeanor as he snatched Christine, escorting her forcefully to a spot near the window. Setting Christine down carefully, he spoke hushedly, “You stay put here, and don’t worry. I might have to step out for a while.”
Knowing that Reign was under the protection of Xander, he figured there wouldn’t be any significant issues. However, he still felt a lingering unease and had the urge to go and see for himself.
“Don’t leave me. If you go now, I’ll be doomed Christine’s eyes filled with terror as she tightly grabbed Haylan’s clothing. unwilling to let go..
This was a den of wolves!
Surrounded by numerous mercenaries with predatory eyes fixed on her, Haylan stood as her guardian, shielding her from
harm

Chapter 439
Fletcher’s eyes gleamed like a cold blade as he sneered, “We, the Bloody Devils, have been plotting this for ages. Without our cunning orchestration, do you think the high and mighty Zabel family could have pulled off this extravagant gathering?”
“Now that things have gone awry, they believe they can simply run away? Well, how utterly naive!”
He smirked coldly, his face shrouded in unsettling darkness.
“Mr. Yuler, what’s our course of action now?” one of the mercenaries inquired.
“Relax, let’s make our way to the casino. That’s where the real action is about to kick off, and I can’t wait any longer.” Fletcher’s face twisted into a sinister grin as he turned to the mercenaries behind him. He spoke in a deep, menacing voice, “Keep a tight watch on everyone. If a single person goes missing, I’ll personally hold every one of you responsible!”
“Hahaha, the casino awaits me! I’m on my way!”
After his words, he burst into laughter and leaped over the deck, dashing toward the first cruise ship.
The first cruise ship, where the casino awaited.
At this moment, a gathering of prominent and discreet billionaires reveled in their playful pursuits.
As the bomb detonated, the ship lurched and tilted, throwing many people off balance and sending them crashing. Chips went flying, littering the floor in a chaotic mess.
Reign and Sybil narrowly avoided falling and let out a horrified scream.
Xander’s face hardened, and he quickly stepped forward, extending his arms to steady the two women.
“What’s going on? Why did it explode?” Sybil cried out in extreme panic.
“Could it be Petes’ gang?” Reign’s face contorted in shock.
Like Haylan, she had anticipated that the Bloody Devil would take action, but she never imagined they would strike so swiftly. It had only been a little over two hours since the encounter.
“Stay alert, both of you. I heard gunshots and footsteps. Some experts are heading our way, and they don’t seem to have good intentions,” Xander warned in a calm, serious tone.
“Expert? Can you tell that just from their footsteps?”
Sybil turned her head, her eyes wide with amazement and disbelief. She remarked with a sense of wonder. “It seems Mr. Sullivan’s novels were not exaggerating. The experts from Longhard Kingdom are remarkable, with everyone displaying extraordinary skills.”
“Forget about them. Hurry, come with me. Let’s find a hiding spot and wait to see how things unfold.”
Xander made a quick decision, pulling the two women along as he hurried to a nearby location, seeking refuge.
As they sought refuge, the sound of the explosion sent a collective shiver down the spines of everyone in the casino. Their faces turned ashen, and screams echoed through the air.
“There’s been an explosion! It’s not safe here. We need to get out of here, fast!”
Panic ensued as many people were frightened out of their wits. They scrambled to escape, turning the scene into utter chaos.
At that moment, a captivating casino dealer rose from her seat, her eyes filled with icy determination. With a commanding voice, she declared, “Thinking of running away? Fat chance! Prepare to meet your demise!”
With her statement, numerous female casino dealers simultaneously exposed their firearms, which they had cunningly concealed. Aiming at the escaping individuals, they opened fire without hesitation.
The sound of gunshots echoed loudly, and more than twenty people collapsed into pools of blood, their lives abruptly cut
short.
Simultaneously, a horde of fully armed Bloody Devil mercenaries charged in from various entrances. They raised their weapons and unleashed deadly gunfire upon the escaping individuals who had reached the doorway, ruthlessly cutting them. down.
In the blink of an eye, gunfire filled the air, and numerous individuals dropped lifelessly into pools of blood.
