Silvia brought Neil into a residential building and passed him a gun and knife. âWait for me here!â she said seriously.
She turned to leave, but Neil grabbed her wrist.
âIâll go with you.â
âYouâll only drag me down in this state. Just protect yourself.â
Neil was speechless.
Was he a burden to her?
Silvia quickly left. Soon, he could hear sounds of shooting again. It was dawn by the time the gunshots died down.
News of Hansonâs gang being defeated reached Ryoln City before long.
Liam had just woken up when he received a call. He had a ghastly expression immediately after.
Two hours later, he found himself hanging in mid-air in an abandoned mansion. It was located in the outskirts of Ryoln City. His whole body, apart from his face, was covered in wounds.
The pain was excruciating. Liamâs face was twisted with pain, and his eyes were filled with fear.
âKane... I know I was wrong. I wonât make decisions on my own anymore. Please forgive me!â
Kane was sitting a few meters away from Liam.
He was wearing a gold mask and a black suit. He was holding a glass of red wine, which he would nonchalantly swirl. A cruel and cold aura was radiating from him.
âTsk. Foolish people who arenât self-aware are really annoying.â
His subordinates started to hit and kick Liam again. It was not until Liam was struggling to breathe that Kane finally said, âLet him down.â
They loosened the rope, and Liam fell to the ground. He did not even have the energy to pick himself up and beg.
Kane walked toward him and lifted his chin with the tip of his shoe. âThanks to your idiocy, I lost more than a thousand subordinates the last time. This time, your idiocy once again cost Hansonâs gang a great loss. Other gangs took over his gang overnight. Do you know how much youâve troubled Mr. Remus, Your Billionaire Wife Wants a Divorce ï¤Chapter 501 me?â
âI... I realize I was wrong...â
Kane smirked. âDo you think a simple apology will undo your mistakes? You think too highly of yourself.â
Liamâs face turned pale as he gulped. âThenââ
Before he could finish speaking, Kaneâs subordinate grabbed his left hand. With a swift motion, the man chopped off Liamâs pinky.
Liam screamed and rolled on the ground in pain. The veins on his forehead started throbbing as he broke out in cold sweat. âArgh! My hand!â
He grabbed his hand tightly as blood pooled on the ground. It was an extremely horrifying scene.
Kane stared at him indifferently as he said, âThis is just a small lesson. I merely asked you to find something, but you did something else behind my back. I told you not to touch Neil, but you did. If Neil wasnât still alive, youâd be a dead man now.â
Liam controlled the fear in his heart and asked, âWhy-why are you protecting him, Kane?â
Kane sneered. âYouâre not worthy enough to ask this question. Iâll give you one month. If you fail to give me what I want, Iâll make sure that you lose everything. Iâm the one who made you the president of Remus Corporation after all!â
Liam shuddered as he was extremely afraid.
He only started to relax after Kane left with his subordinates. He then blacked out.
âKane, Iris and Neil were already gone when we arrived. Weâre not sure where they went.â
Kane smiled and calmly said, âIgnore them. Theyâll return to Ryoln City anyway.â
âAlright!â
After Silvia killed Hanson and his gang members, she took Neil elsewhere to heal his injuries.
Watch Out, CEO Daddy!
