Chapter 166
After Thomas Dunn spoke, he took a glance at the woman who was pinned under Jon Xander and arched his eyebrows.
“No rush though, you may finish whatever you were doing first before leaving with us. Our Young Master is really understanding. I’m sure he wouldn’t mind waiting for a few more minutes,” Thomas Dunn added.
Jon Xander got up from on top of the woman and glared at Thomas Dunn with his cheeks flushed red. Even though the man was secretly feeling rather fearful, he put on a stern expression and said, “Thomas Dunn, how dare you! Don’t you know who my Master is? I’m the protégé of the Zabinski family, one of the Southern Four. I’m sure you already know of the Zabinski family’s power in the South. I’m going to leave this room with my men right now. Try to stop me if you dare. Mr. Zabinski will annihilate your entire family if you dare lay a finger on me.”
After Jon Xander finished speaking, he winked at Will and the rest of his men, signaling them to walk out of the room with him.
With the Zabinski family as out backing, Thomas Dunn will not dare to really hurt us. With that thought in mind, Will and the other underlings followed behind Jon Xander.
With the intention to make a strong exit, the men extended their arms to push away Thomas Dunn and his men.
But before Will and the rest of the guys could touch their adversaries, Thomas Dunn’s group had already pulled the triggers without any hesitation.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Will and the other subordinates were shot. In a flash, blood splattered everywhere in the room.
Jon Xander turned ghastly pale at that very moment. The C-list actress, who had witnessed the bloody scene, screamed in horror.
Thomas Dunn looked towards the pretty lady and put his finger on his lips, an indication for her to keep quiet. “You didn’t see anything here today,” he said to her.
“Y-y-yes, of course, I didn’t see anything, I wasn’t here today at all... “
The terrified woman covered her mouth with her hands immediately after saying that.
Thomas Dunn turned his attention towards Jon Xander and said indifferently, “So, can we leave now?”
Beads of cold sweat dripped down Jon Xander’s forehead as he stared at Thomas Dunn with dread.
It was incomprehensible to the man that these people seemed totally unafraid of the Zabinski family.
Two nights ago, Jon Xander had ordered his men to kidnap Samuel Smith and left him at an abandoned building situated in the Eastern suburbs.
However, what he had not expected was that he himself would be seized by Thomas Dunn and brought to the same abandoned building two days later. What an irony indeed!
Nathan Cross, Colin Dunne and the Elite Eight had been waiting for the man’s arrival for quite some time.
Thomas Dunn shoved Jon Xander in front of Nathan Cross and said in a respectful manner, “Young Master, I’ve brought Jon Xander to you.”
“So, you were the one who hired the mercenaries to kill me?” Nathan Cross looked at Thomas Dunn coldly.
Fear surged in Jon Xander’s chest. Since Nathan Cross was unscathed, it must have meant that Adalwolf and his men had failed in their mission, and were most probably already dead.
The man could not figure out the reason for Adalwolf’s defeat. Instead of killing Nathan Cross, the mercenary force was eliminated instead. Not only that, but it had also caused himself to land in Nathan Cross’s hands.
Jon Xander knew Nathan Cross must have had gathered enough evidence before approaching him. As such, he could not see any ways out for himself, apart from death.
As a last attempt to survive, Jon Xander dropped to his knees and pleaded with a trembling voice, “Mr. Cross, I’m sorry! Please forgive me! Mr. Zabinski was the one who ordered me to kill you.”
“I’m just a pawn in his game and have no idea what his greater plan is. On account of the fact that you’re still safe and sound and I’ve not committed an irreversible sin, could you please let me off this once? I promise I’ll make myself scarce and never return to Channing ever again!”
Nathan Cross replied unemotionally, “Sure, you can go off now!”
Jon Xander widened his eyes in disbelief. Did this guy just say I can leave? Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Even though it sounded too good to be true, it did not make sense for him to stay, since Nathan Cross had given him permission to leave. As such, Jon Xander got to his feet at once and ran off.
The man escaped from the abandoned building and reached the highway. Just then, he saw a cab approaching.
After Jon Xander flagged down the cab, he opened the car door to the back and sat down. “Please take me to the Channing International Airport, thank you,” he said to the driver.
The man finally let out a sigh of relief as he leaned back on the car seat. He looked out of the window and started muttering under his breath, “Those d*ck heads, Nathan Cross and Thomas Dunn, you b*stards just wait and see! I’ll tell Mr. Zabinski about this once I get out of Channing and make you pay for today. I’m gonna kill your entire families and you’ll regret treating me this way!”
Suddenly, Jon Xander realized something was amiss. The cab had not moved.
Wondering what’s going on, he looked at the cab driver anxiously and said, “Hey, why aren’t you... “
