Chapter 237: Chapter 237

“Mr. Horton, you, why are you doing this to me?”

Ryan looked at his wound and then turned his gaze at John. His eyes were filled with terror. He could not believe what had happened to him.

He had always been loyal to John. Whatever John told him to do, he would do it without the slightest demur.

Now that Ryan was beaten up by Haylan so badly. John even stabbed him!

“If I don’t do this, I won’t be able to live. Ryan, go die yourself. Don’t implicate me,” John said meanly.

With that, John exerted more force and stabbed Ryan in the heart.

Ryan spat out a mouthful of blood and grabbed John’s clothes tightly. His eyes were ferocious as he roared. “John, you…”

Before Ryan could finish his sentence, John made his move again and stabbed Ryan many times.

At last, Ryan’s mouth was bleeding profusely, and his grip on John’s clothes ultimately loosened.

“Ryan, you better not blame me. Your injuries are so severe. With Haylan’s ability, he will leave Hidden Strength on you. Therefore, you are doomed. No one can save you. Instead of being shattered by Haylan’s Hidden Strength, it will be better for me to kill and free you!

“If you don’t die, I won’t be able to live either!”

John’s gaze was stony as he took another stab at Ryan’s heart. After ensuring that Ryan was dead.

John bit his lips hard and stabbed himself in the abdomen. He even slit his neck, causing it to bleed.

Then, he pretended to be extremely terrified and imitated Ryan’s staggering steps as he rushed toward the underground bank.

In the underground bank, Hugh had already covered Jason’s corpse with a white cloth. He sat at the side, his eyes red and his gaze cold and enraged.

In front of him were three phones.

One of the phones was in the middle of a call. Ben’s panting voice came from the phone, “Mr.

Croydon, our mission has failed. We can’t enter Zabel Village.”

Then, in the next second, another phone rang. Lennon’s voice sounded. “Mr. Croydon, I have done it. We have destroyed many of the Zabel family’s industries, including their entertainment industries!

“But the strange thing is the Zabel family did not send any reinforcements.

“If they don’t send reinforcements, our smashing and snatching will be meaningless. The Zabel family only needs to get the stock price higher so that they can solve the problem perfectly. They can also earn another sum from it.”

Upon hearing these reports, Hugh’s eyes turned even scarlet, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

It was a diversionary tactic that Hugh sent people to destroy the Zabel family’s shops and entertainment venues. He wanted the Zabel family’s experts to take charge of the situation so that he could prepare for Ben to kill Noah and Perry.

Now, all members of the Zabel family were in Zabel Village. Benr’s operation had failed.

The only thing Hugh could now was to wait for news from John.

“Mr. Croydon, I’m sorry. We failed to assassinate Haylan’s family.”

Abruptly, John clutched his neck and rushed in, covered in blood. His eyes were filled with fear as he said in a shaking voice, “Haylan is a general-class expert. We are not his match.

“He killed Ryan. If it weren’t for me to be stronger than Ryan, I probably would not have been able to escape. I…”

With that, he fell to the ground with a bang.

Blood oozed out of his abdomen, dyeing the ground red.

John even pretended to be seriously injured and on the verge of death, falling into a coma.

When Hugh saw the scene, his expression was even more gloomy than earlier. He seethed with rage.

With a boom, he punched the table beside him into pieces and roared in a low voice, “Haylan Jaber!!!”

Since Hugh became one of the Four Kings, this was the first time he had suffered such losses. A small potato had killed his nephew. Now, even though he used all his power, Hugh still could not do anything to Haylan It was a shame!

A blatant humiliation and a slap in his facel “A general-class expert? Do you really think there is not much I can do to a general-class expert?”

Hugh said through his gritted teeth. His expression was as cold as ice and filled with killing intent.

He picked up the third phone on the table and made a mysterious call. He said in a deep voice, “Black Robe, I will give you three hours to come back “No matter what method you use, you must kill Haylan tonight!

“After you get this done, we are even”

A spooky voice came from the phone. “I’m on my way to Lightdom City for a mission. Send me the information about Haylan Jaber. I promise that his head will appear on your desk tomorrow morning.”

His voice was chilly and murderous.

Just the sound alone sent shivers down John’s spine.

“Black Robe? Could it be the legendary general-class assassin who followed Hugh?

“Judging from Hugh’s tone, it seems this killer didn’t listen to Hugh but only owed Hugh a debt.

“What the hell is going on?”

Many questions flashed through John’s mind.

Another loud bang rang out.

John was still immersed in his thoughts when Hugh suddenly walked over and kicked him out of the door.

Hugh smoked his cigar and ground his teeth. His gaze was cruel as he huffed, “Damn it!

“How do you have the guts to see me after failing the mission? You even dyed the mourning hall I set up for my nephew red. What the hell is this? You’re simply useless!

“Guards, throw him out!”

Immediately, two men walked out, lifted John from the ground, and threw him out the door.

John fell to the ground and pretended to wake up from the pain. He looked around in confusion.

“What happened?”

“Mr. Croydon said that you failed him and you are trash. We don’t want trash here. Get lost!” A trusted aide of Hugh scolded with a stern gaze John gritted his teeth, stood up, and staggered away.

After disappearing from the sight of everyone in the underground bank, John immediately took off his belt and tied it to the wound on his abdomen. His eyes became even harsher.

Especially when he thought of Hugh’s kick, his eyes were filled with fury.

“Hugh, I have followed you for so many years. Even if I don’t have any credit, I have worked hard. I have helped you do so many dirty things.

“Is this how you treated me?

“Alright, you’re heartless, and I won’t let you get away with this. You will pay a price for treating me like dirt.”

John furrowed his brows and narrowed his eyes. He picked up his phone and entered the number of Haylan. He sent a message to Haylan, warning Haylan that Hugh had asked Black Robe to kill Haylan and wished Haylan good luck.

After sending the message, he put his phone in his pocket and touched the wound on his throat. He heaved a sigh of relief. “Fortunately, I’m smart. It’s just a superficial wound.

“I can use this opportunity to leave Hugh!

“Hugh, I won’t let you off for treating me like this!”

John lit a cigarette and took out a flash drive from his pocket. He said coldly, “It won’t be long before the video of you taking advantage of Robert’s interests appear in front of Robert.

“Even if Haylan can’t kill you, Robert will make you suffer.”

John was a cautious and sly person. He would keep a record of everything he did. He silently recorded all the dirty things that Hugh did, saved it in a flash drive, and carried it with him to preserve evidence.

John found a delivery station and sent the flash drive to Robert. He smoked a cigarette and glanced sharply in the direction of the underground bank. He sneered and turned around, disappearing into the darkness
