Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3196

However, Gerald did not expect that he would have to carry out the mission before his body had fully recovered.

What Gerald also never imagined was that his mission would be successful.

He was in excruciating pain that caused him to tremble uncontrollably in bed. The men outside found him too noisy and gagged him.

Yet, he was overwhelmed with excitement right now. It was an excitement he could not contain!

He had succeeded, and moreover, he had survived.

He did not know that killing someone could be so simple!

Before carrying out the mission, Gerald was afraid, and he was worried about what might happen to him. He was also afraid that Amul might kill him while they were halfway there before getting rid of Jacob and Harold himself.

Furthermore, he had always thought that murdering a person was a difficult task.

Now, all Gerald could think about was how killing someone could feel like this. What he had thought was so difficult turned out to be so simple!

This was what it felt like to murder someone.

Gerald slightly narrowed his eyes. The excitement caused his body to release adrenaline, making him feel like the pain was not as intense at the moment.

What a wonderful feeling.

If only his mouth was not gagged, Gerald would surely be laughing instead of groaning in pain.

Suddenly, Gerald felt a newfound craving for carrying out such missions.

He now wanted to continue and experience that rush again when others were avoiding it.

Gerald’s body slightly twitched at the thought of this. Previously, he regretted joining the Island of Despair, but now, he felt that he made the right choice. He even thought that the missions the Island of Despair assigned were tailor-made for him.

At this moment, Gerald had already forgotten that his success was partly due to Amur's assistance.

He attributed the success of the mission to his natural talent in this area.

He also forgot that he might be under police surveillance.

All of these things slipped his mind.

…

The following day, everyone in A City was focused on one thing.

Today, Matysh was to be escorted to court for trial.

This case had been closely followed by the public. Therefore, the court decided to livestream the proceedings on its official website considering the high level of interest.

While such livestreams had occurred before, they usually garnered little attention. Only law students would watch them, as well as some who watched the replays.

However, it was different this time. Even before Matysh arrived at court, the livestream rooms of major media outlets were already packed with people, and there were crowds gathered outside the courthouse.

Some even joked that if they could throw rotten eggs and vegetables at Matysh, they would certainly do so.

However, such actions were no longer allowed. They could only express their anger by watching and hurling insults.

Luke sat in the car, listening through the microphone.

He heard his subordinates at the scene mentioning that there were many onlookers. Luke could not help but furrow his brows. Having so many people watching could be advantageous for Matysh.

It was also beneficial for the mercenaries as they could easily create chaos and then abduct their target.

However, in situations like these, once chaos broke out, casualties could easily occur—especially since the mercenaries were armed. The consequences could be unimaginable.

"Tell the escort team to use the back door," instructed Luke.

"Got it."

They did not know when Ethan's men would strike. If they were to strike at the courthouse entrance, it would definitely cause a commotion.

Even though they were not police officers, as A City citizens, they were responsible for ensuring Matysh's safe delivery and the security of the public.
