“Open your eyes and look clearly, Nathaniel! The man holding the gun went blind because he battled it out for the Schmidt family’s territory. That day, you pointed a gun at me and stole the territory he got at the risk of his life. Today, I’ll have him retrieve it in the same manner. As for whether you survive, we shall leave that decision to God!”
Pausing slightly, Freja narrowed her eyes a fraction before she raised her voice and ordered, “Fire!”
Bang!
A gunshot pierced the air at about the same time her voice rang out.
I watched everything indifferently, not worried for Nathaniel for even a second.
The scene playing in my mind was that of John pinned on the ground, his hand broken mercilessly.
Well, it turns out that karma is real, and this is his retribution. No, this isn’t enough. He should also experience all the pain he has ever put us through! He’s getting off far too lightly with just a bullet!
Alas, God just had to favor him. Thanks to the gun’s recoil and the blind man’s impaired sense of direction, the bullet went wide.
Even in the face of death, Nathaniel remained proud and dignified. His bushy eyebrows creased deeply, proving that he indeed braced himself for death at that very moment.
Harrumphing, Freja sneered, “Hmph! I didn’t expect you to be so lucky.”
She got to her feet and sauntered over to him. Her subordinates then loosened their hold on Nathaniel, upon which the man straightened up from the ground.
As Nathaniel kneeled on the ground, infinite ruthlessness brewed in his ebony eyes. In a threatening tone, he warned, “If you kill me, I can guarantee you that none of the Schmidt family will be able to live past tonight!”
Hearing that, Freja wore an expression of mockery. “Oh? It looks like you’ve made arrangements beforehand. Let me guess. You’re referring to my beloved mother and grandmother, yes? That’s just perfect. I find them a hindrance in the first place, but there hasn’t been any valid reason to eliminate them. I’ve got to thank you now instead.”
It seemed that the family who owned the top pharmaceutical company in K City wasn’t all that peaceful internally.
