CHAPTER 594
Adrian watched the chaos with a cold, detached expression. He reached out and tapped Jake on the shoulder, snapping the janitor out of his trance."Well, let’s call it a night," Adrian said softly. He signaled to the rest of the crew, who were frozen in horror. "Let's go."The employees didn't need to be told twice. They grabbed the heavy stacks of cash, clutching the three hundred thousand dollars to their chests like shields. They walked out of the bar slowly, keeping their heads down. The champions were too busy sobbing and talking to the police to notice the "toilet cleaners" slipping away into the night.As they crossed the threshold of the door, Adrian paused for a split second. He turned his head and caught Xavier’s gaze. The captain’s eyes were bloodshot and filled with a murderous, vengeful rage. Even in his ruin, Xavier glared at Adrian as if to say this was far from over.Adrian didn't blink. He simply turned and walked into the cool night air.The group walked three block
CHAPTER 593
Someone handed him the black cloth. Xavier tied it around his head with jerky, angry movements. He pointed a shaking finger at John. "You! Stand by the wall. Place the apple on your head."John turned pale, his jaw dropping. "Me? Xavier, please, I'm your teammate...""I am the leader of this team!" Xavier screamed, the blindfold hiding his crazed eyes. "You refuse me, and I will kick you out of the association tomorrow! Stand there now!"It was clear to everyone that Xavier was no longer thinking straight. His mind was a storm of fury and bruised ego. John, seeing he had no choice and fearing for his career, walked slowly to the wall, praying for his dear life. He placed the apple on his head, his entire body trembling far worse than Gerald’s ever had.Xavier notched the arrow. Unlike Adrian, who had calculated the angles of the room, Xavier aimed his bow straight ahead. Adrian’s calculating eyes traced the line of the arrow. He saw the tension in Xavier’s shaking arm and the sligh
CHAPTER 592
The silence of the bar was broken by the heavy thud of cash hitting the table. John reached into his bag and pulled out the remaining stacks of money, his hands trembling as he pushed the pile toward the janitors. Three hundred thousand dollars sat there, glowing under the dim, flickering lights of The Rusty Anchor.The employees stared at the money with hungry eyes. They reached out, each grabbing a bill to feel the crisp texture, smelling the ink to confirm it wasn't a dream."It’s real," Jake whispered, his voice cracking with emotion. "It’s actually real!"The group erupted. They jumped, hugged, and cheered, their voices echoing off the low ceiling. Gerald, still shaky from his near-death experience, wiped his face and grinned. "Hey! I should get the biggest share!" he shouted over the noise. "I’m the one who risked my life for this! I’m the one who stood against the wall!"The others laughed, slapping his back. "No problem, Gerald! Use your share to buy a new pair of pants firs
CHAPTER 591
"Hey! No helping him!" Xavier sneered, stepping forward to block Jake. "The agreement was for him to take the shot.""He was too stubborn to do it with his eyes open. Now, when he misses, and he will miss, all of you are going to be bundled out of here in handcuffs. You’ll spend the rest of your miserable lives working in a cage to pay off that debt."Adrian’s lips curled into a calm, dangerous smirk. "The agreement is to hit the apple, right?""He’s even smiling!" John shook his head in disbelief. "He’s really going to put his friends behind bars just to pretend he’s a hero. You’re a monster, janitor.""I’m doing them a favor," Adrian said softly. "Don't worry," Xavier mocked, leaning against the bar. "I’ll ask the prison guards to put you all in the same cell. You can spend the next forty years together talking about how 'brave' you were. Now, shut up and take the shot, loser."Adrian fell into a deep silence. He didn't look for the target, he felt the room. He sensed the angle of
CHAPTER 590
A collective gasp ripped through the bar. People in the dark corners stood up from their stools, their eyes wide."What?!" Jake shouted, clutching his hair. "Michael, have you lost your mind? You are already on the brink of killing him! Blindfolded? That’s not a test, that’s an execution!"Xavier stared at Adrian, trying to see if he was joking. When he realized Adrian was serious, his eyes filled with a sadistic glee. "Blindfolded? You really are an arrogant fool. Fine! If you hit that apple while blindfolded, I will add another hundred thousand. That’s three hundred thousand dollars on the table."The janitors looked at Adrian with pure hatred. "The money isn't worth it!" Bill yelled. "At least with your eyes open, you have a chance! The chance of hitting that blindfolded is zero! Even these champions couldn't do that! Please, Michael, don't kill our friend just to prove a point!""Why should we turn down three hundred thousand?" Adrian asked calmly. "Give me the blindfold."John pu
CHAPTER 589
The janitors turned as one toward the door, ready to run, but they didn't get far. Two towering security guards stepped in front of the exit, their arms crossed and their faces grim. The chilling terror returned tenfold."No, no. You’re not leaving," Xavier said, his voice dropping to a low growl. "You either take the shot, or the only place you’ll be going tonight is a prison cell."The men began to beg, tears welling in their eyes. They talked about their families, their kids, and how they were just low-level employees who no longer wanted the money. Xavier’s face twisted into a scowl. Without warning, he drew a small backup bow from his side, notched an arrow, and fired in one fluid motion.WHOOSH—THWACK!The arrow whistled past the group, piercing through the center of a janitor's baseball cap and nailing it to the wooden wall behind him. The man stood frozen, his eyes rolling back in his head as he nearly fainted."The next arrow goes through an eyeball," Xavier hissed. "You wan
