The Mafia Lord's Secret Lover (Evelyn and Axel) novel Chapter 326

Chapter 326: Who Ordered You To Kill My Wife?

Ethan walked beside Axel. "They resisted interrogation. Stubborn. But scared. Still, stubborn. Don’t worry, boss, I didn’t hurt them much... only scared them a little."

Axel’s voice was chilling, "They won’t be stubborn for long."

"Yes, boss." Ethan’s eyes darkened. Then he opened the door before them. "After you..." He said playfully.

Axel’s eyes narrowed, but his heart did not race. His breath did not quicken.

What lived inside him now was not panic or grief. It was retribution. A slow, lethal force. A promise to avenge his wife and child.

Inside, under a single flickering bulb, six men knelt on the concrete floor.

Their hands were tied behind their backs. Faces bruised, clothes torn. Their eyes darted up when Axel entered.

Recognition hit them like a physical blow.

Their expressions twisted into fear.

Some shrank back. Some trembled. One whimpered. As if they recognized the man before them, he came not only to ask for information but also to collect their lives.

Axel stood before them, saying nothing.

Silence hung in the room like smoke. The one bulb flickered overhead, throwing jagged shadows on the cracked concrete floor.

His gaze swept over the six kneeling men. Cold. Merciless.

For a moment, the world held its breath.

Then, with a voice too calm for the situation, Axel asked, "Who ordered you to kill my wife?"

His words were enough to silence them all. And instantly, the warehouse’s temperature seemed to drop below zero.

Even Ethan shifted beside Axel, instinctively bracing as if that voice alone could shatter his bones.

None of the men answered.

They stared at one another, silently begging someone else to speak up.

Seconds stretched.

Their throats bobbed as they swallowed fear, but no sound came. The air was so thick you could choke on it.

They looked like men trying to form words while standing at the edge of a cliff, too terrified to jump.

Axel’s eyes narrowed, and for the briefest moment, the corner of his lip twitched. It wasn’t quite a smile. It was something darker.

His gaze sharpened, so sharp it felt like it could peel skin from bone.

Every heartbeat in the room seemed to stop.

Still no answer.

Axel slowly lifted his hand toward Ethan. He didn’t speak. He didn’t need to voice what he needed. Ethan immediately placed a gun in Axel’s palm.

No hesitation.

No question.

Axel spun the gun in his hand once, a graceful, effortless motion, and aimed it directly at the bald man in the center.

BANG!

The blast echoed like thunder in a tomb.

A strangled scream tore from someone’s throat, but Axel didn’t flinch. The bald man’s body flew backward and hit the floor with a sickening thud. Blood misted the air for a moment before splattering like rain across the concrete.

BANG!
