‘I didn’t count on Shane being this reckless. He knows about Bonnie’s true identity, but he’s still trying to kill her.’
Jim stepped forward and glared at Shane coldly. “I’m going to give you another chance, Shane. Are you going to keep going down this path?”
There was blood seeping off the cut on his face. Top that off with his imposing aura, he was sending chills down everyone’s spine.
Shane was intimidated by it so much that his throat started getting dry. Even his back was covered in sweat.
‘Jim truly lives up to his name of the King of Combat. Just look at the aura emanating from him and his pose. It’s blood-chilling.’
Noticing that Shane didn’t respond to Jim, Bonnie stepped forward and stared at him with cold, imposing eyes.
“Turn yourself in now. I might consider letting you off easy. If you insist on going down this path, however, you’re going to regret it very much. You can’t handle the consequences, Shane.”
Ivor followed suit and stepped forward to stand side by side with her. His eyes were also filled with coldness when he glared at Shane.
“I’m warning you, Shane. Stop what you’re doing now. Otherwise, I’m going to get my hands on you and you won’t like what I’ll do to you. Needless to say, I’ll also take it easy on you if you own up to your mistake nicely.”
All three of them were staring at him. Shane’s back was frenched in cold sweat. It just so happened that the wind blew past him from the back, sending goosebumps all over him.
‘Should I let Bonnie and the others go? Are they really going to forgive me if I do? Will they take it easy on me, like they promised?’
Tom realized that Shane was wavering. So, he said hastily, “Don’t listen to their crap, Mr. Shane! They’re only making things up to get you to let them go. If they get away safely, they’re going to send someone else to destroy us.”
“
Archie thought what Tom said made a lot of sense. So, he also chimed in, “That’s right, Mr. Shane. Don’t believe in them. We’ve gone too far. They’re not going to let us go.” Shane listened to both of them and thought back to how ruthless Ivor had been in their long-time rivalry. All of a sudden, he also thought the latter wouldn’t let him off that easily.
He might’ve wavered before, but he was becoming more resolute now. ‘That’s right. I can’t afford to let them go. They have to die right here.’
He was in the middle of his thoughts when he looked at all three of them coldly.
“I’m not a fool. What makes you think I’ll buy what you’re selling? Here’s the thing, guys. The only way things are going to end for you is that you guys will stay here forever!”
Bonnie’s eyes were filled with coldness when she heard what he said.
“I have to give it to you, Shane. You’ve got some nerve. You’re trying to kill someone who works for the nation! You better hope that you can make us stay here forever.
ve
Otherwise, things are not going to end well for you.”
He scoffed. “Get it through your thick head, Bonnie. There are only three of you here. Meanwhile, there are dozens of us. How do you fancy that you can win this? I can’t believe you’re thinking about getting out of here. Dream on, Bonnie!”
With that, he waved his hand at the surrounding bodyguards again.
“Take them out now! I said it once, and I’ll say it again. Do not let any of them live! Make sure all of them stay here forever, and I promise all of you will get a handsome reward!”
All the bodyguards heard what he said and instantly became motivated. They roared before charging at Bonnie and the gang again.
Jim and Ivor saw how their adversaries were advancing on them and formed a perimeter around her again. This time, they kept her in the heart of it as well.
She noticed how the bodyguards were coming at them with the intention to kill.
‘If this keeps up, then all three of us might be in great danger.’
