Chapter 1255 Desperate Straits
He turned to me curiously.
I looked at him. "This time, Navi has no way out."
"What are you talking about?" He looked at me incredulously. "What do you mean?"
His attitude told me he didn't believe a word I said.
I looked at him, reiterating, "He has nowhere to escape."
"That's impossible! Are you really trying to deceive me?" Suddenly, he seemed to snap out of it.
"Whoever you are, if you think you can fool me or play games with me, just look at what happened to these two." He pointed at the two bodies on the ground.
"Don't think that I have to respect you just because you've got the Huffman family's backing. That's nonsense. Since I left the Huffman family, I have no intention of going back to them."
Tristan sneered at him and said, "Mrs. Chloe, do you see now? He's just a fool. Otherwise, he wouldn't have blindly switched to the dark side. Too much talk leads to mistakes. He's not a truly smart person." "Say that again, and I'll kill you!" Millard glared at Tristan.
I looked at Millard and shook my head gently. Standing up, I walked over to Tristan and then addressed Millard, "Then I have nothing more to say. You can do as you please since it has come to this.
"But let me tell you, Navi sending you to attack Atlas means he's already discarded you as expendable. Don't tell me you didn't ambush Atlas's car. Do you know why there was no one in the car?" I looked at him with disdain, and my tone naturally turned cold.
"Because Atlas had already anticipated this. You're still alive because Atlas let you go so you could deliver the message to Navi."
His sudden change in attitude, now a bit subdued, indicated his discomfort about the topic.
"Your impatience betrayed you. You reported the car plunging into the river, but then you realized no one was in the car, right? If Atlas wanted you dead, do you think you would
still be standing here in front of me?"
