CHAPTER 379
Marek glanced around the room as soon as the boss and Scar stopped moving. Several men stood guarding the front door, their stance rigid, as though they had been waiting for something.Marek instantly realized why—they had been waiting for them. Since he and the others had come through the tunnel instead of the front entrance, the ambush had failed.Even Neil understood and let out a quiet sigh of relief.Hearing that sigh, a smug smile crept across the boss’s face. He immediately snapped his fingers.The guards turned, weapons raised in alarm. But when they saw their boss, they relaxed until the man behind the camera spotted Marek. His eyes widened in recognition.“They’re the intruders!” the man shouted. “Protect the boss!”The cry split the air.In an instant, the men surged forward, rushing to shield their leader. The boss’s instincts flared, and he seized Scar by the collar and hurled him straight at Marek, hoping to use the chaos to slip away.Scar stumbled hard, crashing into M
CHAPTER 378
A few minutes later, they were all in the large living room with the boss. He walked in front, Scar beside him. Though he had agreed to their terms, he had no real reason to obey them. He was still the leader.If he showed even the slightest hint of fear in front of his men, their respect would vanish. But once he stepped into the place where all his men were gathered, he would regain his footing and empower them with numbers. All that mattered was getting there first.He glanced at Scar, hoping the man would meet his eyes, but Scar’s gaze was fixed ahead. He seemed to have no intention of helping him escape. That annoyed the boss. Finally, he concluded.‘I’ll have the others deal with him once this is over,’ he thought.Just then, Tedmond studied the boss carefully. From his body language, it was clear the man was planning something, and it likely had nothing to do with returning his phone.“Where are you taking us?” Tedmond asked, stepping forward until he was shoulder to shoulder w
CHAPTER 377
It didn’t take long for them to walk out of the tunnel. As soon as they emerged, they found themselves in a vast open hall. Several large doors lined the walls, each identical in size and color.Tedmond’s brows arched as he studied them. It was obvious the boss had made every door the same to confuse anyone trying to find his room.Scar raised a shaky hand and pointed toward a large wooden door reinforced with iron studs.“That’s… the boss’s room.” His voice was low, almost breaking.For a moment, his thoughts twisted. ‘He’ll skin me alive if he finds out I led them here, but what choice do I have? Better him than me. I still want to live.’They stopped before the door. Scar slowly lifted his hand to knock.From inside, a deep voice barked, rough and impatient.“Did you deal with them already?”Scar froze, his throat tightening. The boss’s tone dripped with suspicion, heavy even through the thick door.Before Scar could answer, Marek moved. With a glance at Tedmond, he lifted his boot
CHAPTER 376
“They got the leader of the thugs that went outside to deal with them,” the man behind the camera told the one next to him. “Go tell the boss before they get in and send out more men.”The younger man nodded, turned, and left.As soon as he was gone, the man zoomed the footage to focus on Tedmond’s face.“This one looks like the leader of the little gang,” he murmured. “But how are we sure they’re really drug dealers?”At that moment, Marek turned his head toward the camera. One look at his face made the man flinch.Then, without warning, a knife flew toward the camera and lodged in it. The man froze in terror, especially when the same thing happened to every camera at the gate.He immediately jumped to his feet and bolted out of the room to make the report himself.The moment he stepped into the corridor, he sprinted. The younger man, spotting him running, assumed he was about to be scolded for being slow and took off running too.“The boss’s room is just ahead!” the younger man pant
CHAPTER 375
The moment the knife pressed against the scarred man’s neck, Tedmond shot upright from his spot. He had no idea what Marek’s temperament was like and no way of knowing if Marek was about to kill the man on the spot.Given Marek’s appearance and the fact that the knife in his hand was one he had crafted himself, Tedmond could tell that if Marek wanted to get rid of the man, he could do it without batting an eye. But Tedmond wasn’t ready for bloodshed.He had only come here to retrieve his phone, and the others were supposed to be innocent.Still… would they really count as innocent after just trying to kill them?At that moment, the others near the scarred man held their breath in shock. Their eyes darted between Marek’s steady hand and the thin line of red that was beginning to bead against the man’s skin.Two of them froze like statues, unsure whether to move forward or back. The tallest one clenched his jaw so tightly the sound was audible. Another man, younger and more reckless, to
CHAPTER 374
Back at the gate, Tedmond’s gaze swept over the area, analyzing every detail. The way the place looked made him wary. If the men inside didn’t recognize them, they might decide to shoot first and ask questions later.The location was so remote that if they were killed, no one would hear about it. But Tedmond knew that wouldn’t happen, not to him. Thomas would never allow it.“It’s dangerous to stand here,” Hino whispered, his voice just loud enough for all of them to hear. “We can’t predict their next move.”He turned to Marek. “What are you planning?”Marek glanced at him and shook his head. “Don’t ask me that. Be quiet.”Hino frowned, surprised at being dismissed so bluntly, but he didn’t argue. Instead, he stepped to Tedmond’s side.Neil noticed the movement and looked at Hino in confusion. Before he could speak, a sharp whoosh split the air.Darts.They came flying at them in a sudden burst, cutting through the air like angry wasps.Marek reacted instantly, lunging forward, shovin
