Chapter 3064
"Do you honestly think I'd be a spy?" John scratched his head sheepishly. "I'm just here for the money, but I just so happened to run into you guys. Now that I'm here, not only will I not get my money, but I might be killed too. All I'm trying to do is make sure I get out of here alive by helping you guys."
Scarface stared at him for a long time before narrowing his eyes again. "Are you being honest?"
"Of course I am." John grinned. "I, like everyone else in this room, just want to stay alive.
"If you don't listen to my advice, and those people find us..."
John did not need to finish his sentence; everyone in the room knew what would happen to them if they were found.
One of the men leaped off the bed. "Let's do as he said, Scarface. We'll all split up and each find a unit to hide in. It's all a game of luck from here on out. Even if we're found, we can't reveal anything about the rest of us.
"This is far better than staying here and waiting for death to come."
"But..." All of a sudden, one of the more timid subordinates piped up. "If we leave this old geezer behind and run away ourselves, Tyson will..."
"Let's focus on staying alive first. We'll figure out how to explain this to Tyson later." Scarface sighed and accepted John's idea. "Let's do as he says. You all know how to break locks, so find a unit each and hide there. When they come knocking, pretend you live here and claim the money for yourselves. Then, run for your lives."
With that, he glanced out the window.
The cars were parked in front of their building.
"We're running out of time. Everybody for themselves!"
Finally, he glanced at the man slumped on the ground and frowned. "As for this old geezer, we'll just leave him behind to fend for himself."
As soon as he spoke, he looked at John.
