âHelp!
âPolice, hurry up and answer the phone Helpâ
Gregory ran wildly in the scenic area. As he ran, he took out his phone and called the police. He was nervous, terrified, and afraid.
He had figured it out. He would rather tu die.
self in and tell everyone what he had done. He would rather go to jail than Being alive was more important than anything else.
However, the reception in this scenic area wasnât very good. Coupled with his nervousness and panic, he called the wrong number.
He called â918â³ instead of â911â
âDamn it!â
Gregory cursed under his breath when he realized that he had called the wrong number and hung up the phone in a hurry. He wanted to call the police again.
No matter what happened, it would not be wrong to contact the police when he was in danger.
However, because he had to look down at his phone, he knocked a trash can in the scenic area to the ground with a clang. He almost fell to the ground himself âOh no!â
Gregoryâs expression changed drastically as cold sweat dripped down his face.
Making such a sound in the dead of night was equivalent to exposing his location.
He quickly turned around.
As expected, the masked killer had already walked over.
Gregory was extremely terrilied. He ran wildly toward the top of Hartsworth Hartsworth was built on a huge mountain. A river that ran through two or three cities happened to flow through here, forming a huge waterfall.
It was precisely because of this that it became a scenic area. Many people came here to see the waterfall, drift down the river. play, and so on.
Gregory fled in a panic, terrified. He ran wherever there was light.
However, he was a rich playboy. He spent his days eating, drinking, and fooling around. He could not accomplish something. as physical as climbing the mountain. He was already panting from exhaustion halfway up the mountain. His legs were sore and he could not move.
He heard the killerâs footsteps and became even more nervous. He used all his strength to climb upward.
However, his strength did not allow him to do so. After climbing three steps, he was so tired that he could not move anymore. He sat on the ground and panted.
He looked at the bottom of the steps, then at the waterfall beyond the railing. He gritted his teeth, his gaze desperate.
It was over.
He couldnât move and he was on a cliff. The killer was below.
This was a hopeless situation.
Worst of all, even in the dead of night when there were no tourists, there were still street lamps in this lousy scenic area.
He could not hide at all under the illumination of the street lamps.
Gregory held his phone, wanting to call the police again.
However, before the call connected, the masked killer had already arrived not far from him. He shattered his phone with at single shot and the phone fell off the cliff into the rapid river below the waterfall.
Subsequently, the killer aimed his gun at Gregory.
âWhy?â
Gregoryâs pupils contracted. Now that he was experiencing extreme despair, he was no longer as afraid. Instead, he was furious and roared, âI followed his instructions. Why does Philip Labenz want to kill me!
âAnd you, if you work for him, he will kill you in the future!â
âKill me? Hehe, Philip doesnât have the guts or the ability, the killer replied with a cold smile.
Gregoryâs expression changed. âWho exactly are you?â
To be able to say such words, it meant that this personâs status was higher than Philip!
âYouâre about to die. Why do you need to know so much?â The masked killer smiled sinisterly.
âTm about to die. Itâs not too much for you to fulfill my dying wish, right?â Gregory said.
The killer sneered. His gaze was cold as he said, âYou want to know, right? Alright, Iâll fulfill your wish!â
With that, he took off his mask and revealed his true appearance.
Upon seeing this person. Gregoryâs pupils violently constricted as if he had seen the most unbelievable thing in the world. He said in shock. âHow is this possible? H-how could it be you?â
Bang!
Before he could finish speaking, the killer had already fired his gun. He hit Gregoryâs heart with one shot, causing him to spit out blood.
The force of the impact threw him backward, over the railing, and down toward the waterfall.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The killer seemed to be still worried. He fired five shots in a row, and each shot hit Gregoryâs body, causing blood to splatter.
In the end. Gregory fell into the river below the waterfall. With a loud bang, he disappeared without a trace.
The killer put his mask back on and stared at the waterfall and river for a long time with a gaze as cold as a knife.
Then, he took out his phone and dialed Philipâs number. He said coldly. âItâs settled.â
âAre you sure heâs dead? Did you make sure? Philip asked.
âOne shot to the heart, one to the lungs, and a few others to the abdomen and thighs. Do you think heâs dead?â
âYou missed his head?â
The killer was silent.
The killer was silent for two seconds before he said angrily. âWill you stop yapping? I hit his heart and lungs. Do you think heâs still alive?â
âDonât be angry. Iâm just trying to make sure. Hitting the head is the safest way.â
âThen Iâll shoot you in the heart and see if you die,â
âNo, no, no, I was just joking. After being shot so many times, Gregory is dead for sure. Our secret has been kept.â
âOnly your secret has been kept. Philip, you owe me a huge favor!â
âDonât worry, our interests are the same. Your business is my business. I will help you get rid of Haylan Jaber!â
âI hope youâll keep your wordâ
The killerâs expression darkened when he heard Philipâs words. He said coldly before hanging up and turning to leave. It was already past one in the morning when Haylan returned home. His parents, sister, and Tracy were already asleep. There were only the five of them living in the huge villa, so it seemed especially spacious.
He went into the kitchen and wanted to make some supper, but he realized that the kitchen was filled with all kinds of random exotic ingredients.
Haylan was annoyed.
It seemed that Felicia really believed that guyâs words and had spent a lot of money to buy these many supplements. How much did she hope that he would find a woman to have a child with?
Even if she wanted to have a grandchild, she shouldnât be doing this.
Haylan sighed. In the end, he made a bowl of instant noodles and brought it upstairs.
âGodâs Eye!â
Then, he went to his parentâs room and transported vital energy into his eyes. He stared at his parentâs room and heaved a sigh of relief when he confirmed that his motherâs emerald pendant was still in the room.
Felicia had not dared to wear the emerald pendant after she found out how much it cost. Instead, she bought a box and locked the emerald pendant in the safe, afraid that she would lose such a treasure.
âI really shouldnât have let Mom go to Grandmaâs place. Now that something like that happened. Iâll have to look for a new gem in the future. Haylan sighed.
He knew that Felicia was thrifty She would not dare to wear the emerald pendant after she knew its worth.
For his motherâs safety, he had to find a better emerald pendant to make a new amulet to protect her.
The next day, at the Ruglane District.
A Mercedes-Benz with a license plate from Fickery City drove over to Haylanâs house.
Mrs. Labenz got out of the car, decked out in jewelry. She leaned on her walking stick and said arrogantly. âHarry, go knock on the door and tell Felicia that Iâm here to see her!â
