The price of betrayal (Jack and Ashley) novel Chapter 570

Hound maintained an attitude of utmost respect when facing Vernon. After all, Vernon was his true boss.

Vernon looked at Hound and chuckled lightly. "Hound, you've been with the family for quite some time now. Over these years, I dare say I've never treated you unfairly."

Hound nodded. "That's right, you've always treated me well, Mr. Norberg Senior. Please, speak plainly—I'll do whatever you need to do without hesitation. Is it to kill the people outside? No problem. As long as you give me the order, my men and I will deal with everyone out there. After all, it's not a difficult task for me."

As he spoke, an air of absolute confidence emanated from him. And he had every reason to be confident. To put it bluntly, as a Tiger Ranking powerhouse, ordinary people were beneath his notice.

Vernon nodded with a smile. "Hound, it's good that you have such resolve. You understand why they're here this time, don't you? So today, you and the family stand together. We're all in the same boat, and there's no escaping it for anyone."

Those words were the truth. After all, it was Hound himself who had captured Malcolm, and it was also Hound who personally killed him. Even if many members of the Norberg family might escape death, Hound absolutely would not.

The reason Vernon said what he did was to remind Hound not to harbor any illusions of escaping responsibility.

Hound smiled faintly at Vernon. "Don't worry, Mr. Norberg Senior, I understand. If I have any regrets right now, there's only one thing I truly regret."

"Oh? And what is that?" asked Vernon.
