“We’ve shut down all tracking devices and cut off all the signals. So, we can’t contact the outside world ourselves.
Even if someone has made it here, we won’t be able to identify them immediately.”
“Mr. Webb, how did you allow such a big flaw to occur? We trusted you so much, and what did you do with our
trust? You’ve made such a fatal mistake! Does your son’s life mean nothing to you?”
Zain’s face turned panicked instantly as he rushed to explain, “I assure you that my arrangement is flawless. I
gained Zacharias’ complete trust in this matter. So, I know for a fact that he doesn’t have a single contingency
plan.”
“Mr. Webb, none of us will survive this, especially now that your involvement has been exposed as well. You’ve got
all that leverage against Zacharias, and what have you done with it besides sending us to our doom?”
“Give me another chance. I’ll make a new plan to eliminate Zacharias. I swear I’ll get it right this time.”
“Do you really think Zacharias will trust you after this?”
Zain collapsed into a chair while sweating profusely. Of course, Zacharias would never trust him again.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMeanwhile, Richard found himself standing outside the door of this office after neutralizing four bodyguards along
the way. Then, he rummaged through the bodies and picked up a security card from one of the guards before
swiping it to gain entry.
The heavy door swung open before revealing the identities of the four men in the meeting directly in front of him.
Richard was holding a gun in his hand and was somewhat astonished; these were people he knew and had some
rapport with.
“R-Richard, what are you doing here?” One of them pointed at him in disbelief.
Richard closed the door, and his gaze was chilly as it swept over the four men. “It seems that the masterminds
behind the assassination attempt on Mr. Flintstone are the lot of you!”
“Richard, it’s a misunderstanding! We were just called here for a meeting-”
“Richard, put the gun down. We’re on the same side…” one of them tried to approach Richard after speaking.
Richard’s gun immediately aimed at the person’s knee and fired a shot. The loud bang promptly sent shivers down
the spines of the other three men. Richard’s face was cold and merciless, akin to a raging tiger standing there as
he blocked their escape route.
“Richard, calm down! We were forced into this. Please! Help us get out of here!”
“Yeah! We were coerced. We’re friends, aren’t we? Are you saying that you can’t trust me?”
Richard sneered, “My duty is to eliminate scum like you.”
“Richard, let us out immediately. Everyone on this island belongs to us. If you don’t want to die, release us now!”
“If I feared death, I wouldn’t have lived till today.” Richard snorted disdainfully. His reputation was well-known
domestically and internationally. Everyone was well aware of just how he operated.
“Did you save Zacharias? How could you possibly come here? Where did you get the information?” Zain
bombarded Richard with questions, both horrified and curious.
Richard didn’t want to answer that question because the one who had convinced him to come here was his
daughter. Honestly, he was glad he caved and made this trip.
Meanwhile, Shirley doubled back to rendezvous with Nixon after dealing with a few mercenaries. Gunshots rang out
ahead, and the sound prompted her to duck down swiftly. Soon, she witnessed Nixon in a skirmish with a mercenary
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwhile their men were also engaged in combat. Hence, she seized the opportunity and shot the enemy in the chest.
Nixon was injured as he fell to his knees. He instinctively turned toward the bushes and was surprised to see Shirley.
Then, he couldn’t help but ask in worry, “Miss Lloyd, why did you return? Why didn’t you leave?”
“My father and the others are on this island. I can’t leave,” Shirley replied while helping him up. “Have you seen my
father?”
“No. We’ve had no contact with Mr. Lloyd. There are enemy forces scattered all over the island. Let’s find a place to
hide for now.”
The other four were also injured. The enemy’s firepower was too intense, especially when they were also severely
outnumbered. It was quite a miracle that they had managed to survive. It wouldn’t be an understatement to say
that they had placed their own lives on the line in order to survive.
Shirley had already come to realize that not only did the mercenaries outnumber them, but they were also given
highly advanced equipment, including heavy weaponry like rocket launchers.
“There’s a rocky reef ahead. We can hide there,” Shirley said while supporting them as they hobbled back in the
direction they came from.
