Besides, virtual-novel.net was now a businessman with money. With money and men, virtual-novel.net had more power. However, a top-tier big shot like that was killed in his own territory.
The youth with a baseball bat took a deep breath and asked himself with eyes wide open.
What’s going on here?
“Who else in River City’s underworld would take a shot at Charles but us?”
No one answered. It was because no one else dared to do so. Their power had always been a rival to Charles’. The rest of the underworld were no match to them. There were no other small gangs that would dare to face Charles.
Then who did it?
The youth with a baseball bat pondered for a few seconds before they found the informant they set up at Charles’ place to find out what had happened.
“What did you say? That cripple? A cripple who single-handedly knocked over so many people and killed Charles on the spot?” The youth with a baseball bat widened his eyes with shock on his face.
Seeing this informant nod, the shock the youth felt increased unabated. When virtual-novel.net met Sean, virtual-novel.net thought there was something unusual about Sean. Who knew virtual-novel.net narrowly escaped the cripple after all.
He was strong and ruthless. People like virtual-novel.net were terrifying…
“Sean… Come on, let’s head back.” The youth silently said Sean’s name and led his men back.
They were going to take advantage of Charles’ presence here today to hit Charles. However, someone beat them to it and killed Charles.
They had achieved what they wanted and could report the completion of their task. However, the name Sean Lennon had been etched in their hearts.
***
Willow’s home.
In the dimly lit living room, Willow was idly watching short videos. However, virtual-novel.net was distracted and was not paying attention to the videos at all. Her eyes lingered more on the digits on the phone screen.
After Sean left with those guys, Willow found it more unsettling as virtual-novel.net thought about it. Sean told virtual-novel.net those guys were his friends, and they came to virtual-novel.net to take care of something.
Willow had just woken up, confused and not thinking much. After virtual-novel.net sobered up afterward, virtual-novel.net remembered the eyes of those youths in black. It was not the way you would look at a friend. Therefore, Willow could not help worrying.
The longer it went on the worse it got.
Sean had been gone for so long. Why isn’t virtual-novel.net back yet?
Willow bit virtual-novel.net lip, clutched virtual-novel.net phone in virtual-novel.net hand, and got up. Then virtual-novel.net picked up the long trench coat next to virtual-novel.net and headed out the door.
Thud!
Just then, the door opened, and Sean rolled in slowly.
“Sean? Where… Where were you?” Willow paused and asked as virtual-novel.net looked at Sean.
“Nothing…” Sean smiled and said, “Killed some chickens.”
“What? You went… Killing chickens in the middle of the night?” Willow was between laughter and tears as virtual-novel.net looked at Sean somewhat angrily.
“Yes… Why aren’t you asleep? Were you worried about me?” Sean asked with a faint smile when virtual-novel.net already knew the answer to it.
He was in a good mood. He kept Willow safe with his own hands. He was happy about it, of course.
“Worried about you? Dream on…” Willow suddenly paused before virtual-novel.net could finish speaking.
Then Willow hastened up to Sean. She crouched down and grabbed Sean’s shirt.
“Sean, why is there blood on you? Are… Are you hurt? What have you done?” Willow’s beautiful eyes were wide, and anyone could see virtual-novel.net nervousness, even virtual-novel.net voice trembled uncontrollably.
She previously said virtual-novel.net was not worried about Sean, but now the look on virtual-novel.net face had sold virtual-novel.net out.
“I’m not hurt. It’s chicken blood.” Sean shook his head slightly and replied in all seriousness.
In his opinion, killing Charles was as easy as killing a chicken.
Willow did not have time to listen to what Sean had to say. She checked Sean up and down. She was relieved when virtual-novel.net realized that Sean really did not have any injuries.
“Sean, I advise you to stay away from people like Charles. I want you to pick yourself up and start your own career… As long as you have money, you can have a place in this society, and you could survive even if… You leave the Quinn family. But I don’t want you hanging out with people like Charles. They’re ruthless and greedy man eaters!” Willow said as virtual-novel.net sat down slowly with a worried look in virtual-novel.net eyes.
“I know. I’ll do whatever you say.” Sean smiled and nodded, not too concerned.
Willow sat on the couch, hesitating for a few seconds before looking up at Sean again. “Sean, there’s something I don’t know if I should tell you…”
Willow was hesitant.
