“Ah! Ah! Ah!”
Willy’s frantic roar of rage reverberated in the woods.
The words Jack just said, and the gaze in Jack and Lyndall’s eyes made Willy felt like he was about to lose it.
He suddenly felt like he was just a clown.
The scheme he had spent so much effort in planning turned out to be a vulnerable plan in their eyes!
Now not only his plan had failed, he even lost an arm.
And was being judged by Jack.
Embarrassment!
Humiliation!
The shooting pain in his broken wrist took away the last bit of sanity in him. All that was left in his eyes were bloodiness and wickedness.
“You should die! You should all die!”
“Lyndall, you’re wasting the power in the status you have! You’re the underground king of LD City, yet you’re trying to turn to the righteous path, what a hypocrite you are! I’m capable of doing what you couldn’t bring yourself to do, so it’s time for me to be the underground king!”
“And you, Jack you damn crippled! I had underestimated you. So what that you managed to fool me around like a clown? Your underlings have already went after the assassins, I can kill you right here right now!”
Gnarling and grunting, Willy stumbled towards his snapped arm that was still holding the gun.
Swoosh!
However.
Something sliced through the air.
Willy was only few feet away from the snapped arm.
In his horror, he saw that along with the swooshing sound, the snapped arm suddenly flew across the air into Jack.
Bam!
Jack grabbed the snapped arm, took the gun and threw Willy’s snapped arm away in disgust.
After carrying and using the fish scale line for so long, he could already use it like it was one of his limbs.
It was too easy for him to use it to retrieve an object from few meters away.
In that moment.
Willy was dumbstruck.
He looked at Jack in disbelief.
A wave of chills ran up his back up to his crown, which brought him back to his senses from the short burst of madness.
Thud!
As if his soul had left the body, Willy dropped to his knees.
Jack slowly pointed the gum towards Willy and smirked mockingly, “You nervous now?”
Willy’s head was buzzing from the death threat.
Staring into the dark muzzle, he had no doubt the bullet will come out the next second.
Humans were willing to do anything in the face of a death threat.
Willy was not an exception.
“I’m wrong, please let me off.”
Grabbing his broken wrist, tears poured down from Willy’s eyes.
He knocked his head hard on the floor and pleaded in desperation repeatedly, “Lyndall, please let me off, I’ve followed you for so many years, spent all my blood, sweat and tears. I’ve always followed your order as your underling, I know you remember that. Please let me off, I was wrong, I was blinded by greed…”
Looking at the pleading Willy.
Jack spun the gun around his index finger.
He then threw the gun to Lyndall, “He’s pleading you, not me. It’s all up to you.”
Lyndall forced a faint smile.
He reached out his right hand to grab the gun. But his body was extremely worn out at this moment that even the action of picking up the gun was difficult for him.
He couldn’t even hold the gun properly, but only let the gun rested between his fingers.
At Willy’s pleading, tears flowed out from Lyndall’s blurry eyes.
Seemingly in pain, his lips started to tremble.
His underlings would be agape if they were there to witness this scene.
The underground king had always been cold-blooded, nobody ever saw him tear up.
But at this moment, his face was filled with tears.
Trying hard to hold the gun, he pointed it towards Willy and whined, “I had always take you as my brother, have you… ever take me as your big brother?”
At the same time, his expression became firm.
His right index finger slowly rested on the trigger.
What it took to be the underground king of LD City was to kill decisively.
Even though he was heartbroken at this moment, he made up his mind instantly.
