Jones was now partially disabled, and the overwhelming pain coursing through his body hadpletely drained him of all courage and strength!
In his moment of despair, he cast a nce at Charlie, and the faces of all his victims began to sh before his eyes.
Would he meet the same fate as his victims tonight? Would he be crushed and killed by a skilled hitman who was far more powerful than he? The thought sent waves of terror through Jones!
While he had always prided himself on his strength, it didn’t mean he was free from the fear of death.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
In fact, it was quite the opposite.
The more lives he took, the more he began to treasure his own.
He longed to survive and livefortably!
This desire was the reason he worked as a hitman for the Webb family.
He would eliminate their enemies at theirmand, and in return, he received a handsome reward.
After enjoying avish lifestyle for many years, he felt that life was too precious to lose now, and he couldn’t ept the possibility of dying this very night.
In desperation, he cried out, “Master Wade, your royal highness, I’m so sorry for underestimating you! I had no idea you were this powerful! Please, I’m just following the Webb family’s orders. Spare me!”
Charlie replied coldly, “Your actions make you even more despicable because you choose to serve them!”
With that, he stomped down hard on Jones’s right shoulder, shattering his arm in an instant!
Jones howled in despair as Charlie continued, “I can understand why someone woulde after me out of vengeance, but you! You’vee to kill me simply for money! How does that not make you more contemptible than my actual enemies?”
“Master Wade, I’m truly sorry…”
Jones had not anticipated that his feeble justifications would only serve to agitate Charlie further. With both his shoulders shattered, his arms dangled lifelessly by his sides, rendering him nearly useless!<fn7f34> The source of th?s content is find·novel</fn7f34>
Turning away, Charlie fixed a piercing re at the terrified Mr. Lloyd and Marcus, coolly stating, “So, you think you’re strong enough to bully my father-inw, do you?”
The arrogant father and son instantly broke into a cold sweat!
And rightly so. The five men Charlie had just defeated were Sean Webb’s personal bodyguards, known for their exceptional strength despite their youth.
They could never have imagined that such a formidable team would be left on the floor, defeated by Charlie alone!
Marcus found himself panicking as this surreal scene unfolded before him. Pressing the dagger against Jacob’s neck, he trembled and warned, “Stop, Charlie! Or I’ll kill your father-inw right now!”
Jacob quaked in fear, crying, “Charlie, save me, please!”
At that moment, Mr. Lloyd suddenly raised his hand and pped Marcus hard across the face.
Marcus was momentarily stunned, blinking away the stars in his vision. Dazed, he covered his face and asked, “Dad, why did you hit me?!”
Mr. Lloyd growled in anger, “You foolish boy! How dare you threaten Master Wade’s father-inw?! Kneel down this instant!”
Without hesitation, he dropped to his knees with a loud thud and, tears streaming down his face, pleaded, “Master Wade, I was just following orders from Donald and Sean Webb to kill Don Albert. They promised to help me take his ce! They even ordered me to kill you for revenge on his son! I wasn’t thinking clearly! Please, I beg you, forgive me!”
While Marcus may not have been the sharpest, Mr. Lloyd certainly was.
He recognized that Charlie held all the power in this situation, and confronting him further would only seal his fate!
Despite his longing for Don Albert’s position, he understood that survival was the priority. The Webb family, the most powerful n in the South Region, the rulers of the underworld — none of it mattered if he didn’t stay alive!
Otherwise, even if Charlie chose to show him mercy, he would end up just like Jones.<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
