As Martin Doyle was speaking, a loud crack echoed through the room. A rush of air shot past his head, followed by a sharp, searing pain in his ear.
He clutched his bleeding ear and howled.
He'd been shot. He'd been shot!
"Aah! Who is it? Who's trying to kill me?"
The assistant wheeled Terence in. He held a gun, its dark muzzle exuding a bone-chilling aura.
"If you don't watch yourself, my gun won't either."
Blood was streaming down Martin's face, blurring his vision. He couldn't see who had come in.
He shouted angrily, "Who are you? How dare you open fire? What do you want?"
The assistant replied coldly, "Our boss is the President of the Lockwood Group. Would you prefer to be fed to the fish or the dogs?"
Upon hearing this, Martin quickly wiped the blood from his eyes.
He saw that the man holding the gun was Terence.
His legs gave out instantly. It really was Terence.
The President of the Lockwood Group, a man known to be a devil incarnate. You could offend anyone in Eldoria City, but not him.
Martin immediately fell to his knees and begged for mercy.
"I-I'm sorry. I didn't know you would be here, Mr. Lockwood. I don't know what I did to offend you. Please, have mercy and spare me."
Seeing this, Kate rushed forward and knelt beside Martin.
"Mr. Lockwood, please spare him."
Kate had no idea what Martin had done to bring such a powerful figure to their doorstep.
"Spare him? He doesn't deserve it."
Terence's eyes were dark and menacing. Martin shoved Kate away. "Get away from me, you unlucky hag! Don't offend Mr. Lockwood's eyes."
