“Argh!” The desperate cry was ear-piercing. All the staff of HT real estate agency was shocked and stunned. In their eyes, Charlie was their boss and had always been above them and well respected. But now they are looking at him crying desperately in pain with a dagger sticking into his back. Everyone was shocked at the sudden turn of events.
At the same time, Jack’s expression turned into horror. During the entire event, Jack’s expression didn’t change much and was cold as ice.
“You, you want to kill me?“ Charlie was terrified and the excruciating pain on his back continually reminded him that death was approaching. Very few people could remain calm in the face of death. Even those who were normally high and mighty would definitely not be able to remain composed.
“Take a guess!” Jack laughed as he sat on the wheelchair and glared at Charlie, “In my eyes, you are but a worthless dog that is unworthy of me knowing your name. Take a guess… if I dare to kill you!”
Charlie was stunned. He unconsciously looked around at the sea of wreaths. The horror of death suddenly engulfed him and immediately turned his face pale.
“George instructed you to compete with my DT. I don’t mind that so long as your methods were above board.” Jack’s expression was cold and calm while his eyes radiated his fury, “But you resorted to unscrupulous methods and want to physically harm my men and even threaten my wife with wreaths. Are you tired of living?” Jack twisted the dagger as he said. As the blade dug and scraped Charlie’s flesh, Charlie hollered in agony and squealed like a pig being slaughtered.
Charlie ground his teeth and yelled in pain, “No, you can’t kill me. I’m George’s man, if you kill me, George will never let you off!” In his death throes, Charlie’s survival instincts kicked in but all he could muster was to depend on George. In his heart, only George could save him now.
But then.
“George? What the hell is George good for?” Jack scoffed and immediately stunned Charlie.
Slash! Jack slashed and the sound of flesh being sliced could be heard.
“Argh!!” Charlie’s body shuddered violently and his face winced horribly in pain.
Jack pulled out the dagger and the blood began to drip from the blade onto the ground. Charlie looked at the ground as his body trembled violently from the intense pain.
Jack exhaled softly and his breath was cold as the arctic wind.
“I’ll give you three days to leave this city. Otherwise the next time I wouldn’t just deliver wreaths but … a casket!”
Charlie’s face was pale as he curled up trembling in fear and pain as if he had been engulfed by a large wave.
He felt as if he was facing death. He was so terrified that he didn’t dare to say a word.
“Brent, let’s go!” Jack yelled at Brent as he threw down the dagger.
Three of them entered the Rolls Royce and then drove off.
