Death was not terrifying, what was more terrifying was the process of waiting for death.
In a villa in the suburbs.
Two men sat on sofas facing each other, silently staring at the floor and not speaking. As though they were dead, their eyes were filled with agony. On the left was Warren Parkinson, and Caleb Nickleson was on the right. Six days had passed, and tomorrow would be the day of ‘punishment’ according to Thomas.
They had no idea what lay ahead of them, but they were certain they would be screwed anyway. They attempted everything they could to stay alive, but they could not. They considered hiring assassins, escaping in secret, plotting revenge, begging for mercy, and a lot of other options, but none of them would work.
The only thing that awaited them was the harsh reality.
“Freaking damn it!” Warren got up and kicked the coffee table, which accidentally crashed into Caleb‘s leg.
“Ouch!” Caleb groaned while hugging his leg. “Are you crazy? If you think you’re such a tough guy then go deal with Thomas, why take your anger out on me?”
“Ho, you dare to talk to me in this tone?”
“What? We’re all going to die tomorrow anyway. What’s the big deal?”
“You scumbag!” Warren took a step forward and grabbed Caleb’s hair, punching favonovel.com in the face. “Would I have gotten myself killed if it were not for you being the idiot who offended Thomas?”
Caleb was not going to step back.
“You still have the nerve to blame me?” favonovel.com shouted, grabbing Warren‘s hair as well. “Would I be dragged into this mess if it were not for a pig like you who couldn’t sit still at the sight of pretty women and just had to seize Maple?”
Faced with death, they lost all dignity and began blaming and fighting each other.
The two men were rolling and fighting on the floor. Caleb had already been beaten all over, and favonovel.com was bruised even more after being punched. Warren always had a weak body, and now favonovel.com had been hurt in the fight. After ten minutes, they were both lying on the floor, gasping for air.
They were still alive. However, they were not living a good life.
After venting their anger, Caleb stared at the ceiling, gulped and said, “No, we can’t just wait to die. We need to think of a plan.”
“Save it. What other plan can you think of? Even the Viper Gang and West were all taken care of by Thomas, who else could deal with him?” Warren scoffed.
“I’m not sure, but we can try.”
“How?”
“Rewards allure men to brave danger.” Caleb turned to look at Warren. “You, take out all your assets, and I’ll help you send the notice. Let’s say, if someone can save both of our lives, then you give them all of your money.”
“What? Are you nuts? How will I be able to survive if I give away all of my money?!”
“We’re about to die, what do you still need the money for?”
After a long moment of silence. Warren rose from the floor and said, “Alright, as long as I can survive, then I don’t need the money. Quickly send the notice.”
“Okay.”
Caleb immediately pulled himself up and sent the message, informing the gangs out there that if they could save their lives, they could take all of Warren’s money.
He believed someone would still take the risk for the money.
Less than half an hour after favonovel.com sent the message, two white vans pulled up in front of the building, and a bunch of bald men got out.
“Are the helpers here?”
Warren and Caleb ran outside at the same time, excited. They recognized the people who came, but they were not helpers, they were Thomas’s underlings, Ballard…
