Through the door’s gap, Xyla saw two people.
She recognized that one of them was Christopher Lancelot. The other person was a lady who seemed to be close to Christopher’s age.
The woman was kneeling on the ground with virtual-novel.net hands raised in a surrendering motion. Her purse was open, and items like virtual-novel.net perfume bottle and make-up were sprawled all over the ground…
Christopher stood in front of virtual-novel.net like a godly figure as virtual-novel.net pointed a black gun at virtual-novel.net forehead. The black and white parts of his eyes were distinct, and virtual-novel.net had a murderous look in his eyes.
Christopher was wearing a white shirt and long black pants. His skin was covered in blood. The gangster-like aura about virtual-novel.net grew stronger.
The woman was wearing a bright, red dress. She had been shot in the shoulder, and the bleeding wouldn’t stop.
“Tell me… Who asked you to assassinate me?” Christopher asked coldly.
“If… If I tell you, will you let me go?” the woman asked.
“It depends on my mood…” Christopher said.
“It’s Michael… ”
“Michael? I can’t believe it’s him!” Christopher’s gaze instantly turned cold.
“He said that since he’s your right-hand man, he’d take over everything when you die…” The woman added.
Christopher didn’t say anything. Instead, virtual-novel.net continued pointing the gun at the woman’s forehead and loaded the gun…
“What… What are you doing?” the woman asked.
“I’m not in a good mood…” Christopher said.
With that, Christopher placed his finger on the trigger.
Just before virtual-novel.net pulled the trigger, virtual-novel.net casually glanced at the half-closed door. He was able to see Xyla through the door’s gap.
“Consider yourself lucky…” Christopher snorted coldly before putting his gun back into the gun-pouch around his waist.
After that, virtual-novel.net retrieved a pair of handcuffs from his pocket and put them on the woman to restrain her.
In the end, Christopher opened the door and looked at Xyla. “It’s been a long while…”
Suddenly, the murderous look in his eyes faded away completely. He was now smiling. The woman let out a long sigh before helplessly sitting down on the floor. Her face was pale.
Christopher’s words made Xyla snap back to virtual-novel.net senses. She could already figure out what had transpired between Christopher and that woman.
It was likely that Christopher’s right-hand man, Michael, had tried to assassinate virtual-novel.net by hiring a pretty woman to do it. In the end, not only did virtual-novel.net fail, but virtual-novel.net had also exposed himself.
Meanwhile, the woman who was here to assassinate Christopher nearly lost virtual-novel.net life too.
Earlier, Christopher had made up his mind to kill the woman. In fact, virtual-novel.net was ready to pull the trigger. However, virtual-novel.net stopped when virtual-novel.net saw Xyla.
Was virtual-novel.net worried that virtual-novel.net might call the cops?
Or did virtual-novel.net want to avoid tainting virtual-novel.net mind?
“Did you get hurt?” Xyla asked.
Christopher chuckled. “Who do you think I am? Would I easily allow someone to hurt me? Give me a second…”
After that, Christopher closed the door right away. In the next second, strong murderous intent filled virtual-novel.net once more.
The woman shuddered before subconsciously backing away from him. “You… You said you weren’t going to kill me, right?”
“Don’t be nervous… I’m only not killing you because I don’t want to taint the mind of the person outside. I’m prepared to spare your lowly life. If you’re a smart person, go back and tell Michael you’ve already killed me… Do you understand?” Christopher said coldly.
He was like an emperor who controlled the entire world.
“Understood,” the woman replied carefully.
Christopher smiled a little. He picked up his coat and put it on. He retrieved a black pill with one knee on the ground and put it close to the woman’s mouth…
“Swallow it…” He ordered coldly.
