Chapter 940

Thomas became wary immediately. "Really?" "Yeah," Isaac replied assuredly. "How does it benefit me if I lie to

you?"

Isaac could tell that Thomas was scared of those people and that they were no angels.

That was why he warned Thomas, so that Thomas would be more careful.

Moreover, he understood that he would be in worse danger if they were found.

Thomas stayed silent and listened, but he could not hear anything aside from the breeze, the rustling trees, and the

occasional bird's cry.

However, it was said that those who could not see would hear better, and Thomas believed Isaac.

"Should we stop?" he suggested, thinking those men would probably drive away soon.

It was why he had picked this moment to leave with Isaac-his employers would not be coming back after they had

just left, making right now the safest window of opportunity.

"Sure," Isaac said.

However, there were only tall weeds everywhere, and they did not have a place to sit.

"There's a river up ahead," Thomas said. "We can rest there for a while."

Isaac nodded, and they moved to the river easily.

However, the instant they sat down, two men showed up, and Thomas panicked when he saw them.

"So, you really were hiding someone?" One of the thugs glared savagely at Thomas.

No matter the country, thugs really were ugly-probably a result of their crimes.

They were simply upsetting to look at, and this thug was certainly hideous.

The other thug snorted. "I knew it. There was a reason this showed up at the vineyard!"

He took out a cufflink which Isaac had on his sleeve, but neither Marie nor Thomas noticed that it detached from

Isaac's shirt the day they saved him.

But this thug had noticed, and he was pursing his lips in a smug smile.

"This looks expensive," he said, and he looked past Thomas to study Isaac, smacking his lips. "A Zidonian, huh?"

Isaac narrowed his eyes and clenched his fingers over his walking stick.

He knew very well that these two thugs would attack in an instant.

He was at a disadvantage with his blindness, and now was not the time for wisecracks.

"Anyway, you broke our rules, Thomas. And that means you die."

The two thugs started to stride toward them, and Thomas was backing away while explaining, "Look, it's a

misunderstanding. He's blind, see? He saw nothing, and he wont expose your secret-’

"Whatever!"

They were carrying baseball bats, and one of them darted toward Thomas while the other started toward Isaac.

Isaac could see a silhouette approaching but could not pinpoint how he would attack.

But at the very last moment...

Bang!

The thug who was about to attack Isaac froze and turned toward his partner to see that he was bleeding from a

gunshot wound on his chest before dropping dead on the ground.

What?!

Left in such shock that Thomas had a gun, he did not attack Isaac but instead quickly reasoned, "Let's talk about

this! Don't forget, we have your son!"

However, Thomas knew that his son would be killed if he allowed these two to return, and he did not hesitate to kill

the other thug.

Bang!

The other thug stared in disbelief at his chest, which was pierced by a bullet too.

Even so, he threatened, "Your son won't live if you kill me..."

Thomas could not care less. He quickly pulled Isaac along to somewhere quiet surrounded by tall grass.

It was the perfect hiding place-they were completely out of sight once they dropped to a crouch.

Thomas quickly passed Isaac his phone, having kept it on silent mode to avoid drawing attention when it rang.
