Chapter 846 One Thing Leads to Another
Hearing his words, Carl smiled strangely and said, "Is that so?"
Looking at him, Jonell felt a shiver run down his spine.
"Do you want them to apologize to you?" asked Carl as he looked at Jonell. His emerald eyes wereas cold as ice.
"Of course." Jonell didn't dare to challenge Carl since the latter was armed. Although he knew Carlwas a dangerous man, he knew he was safe since Carl was on his side.
On the other hand, Carl shut his eyes briefly before reopening them. Then, he said, "Miss Eswadia,are you going to apologize to him? All you have to do is kneel, which is something you women dooften, right?"
Hearing his comment, Xavien attempted to speak, but Abigail stopped him by grabbing his shoulder.
Turning her pistol around, Abigail slowly put her gun down. Looking at Carl's smug smile, shesuddenly raised the gun, seized his collar, and tossed him aside. Then, she quickly jumped over thebar counter.
At the same time, Xavien promptly hid under the table.
When Carl crashed against the table, he cursed, "Sh*t! Shoot them! I want them dead!"
Jonell was almost caught in the crossfire. In that split second, he realized Carl wasn't here to helphim. He was here because he wanted to settle scores with Abigail.
Abigail stealthily approached a bodyguard on the opposite side of the bar. Then, she incapacitatedhim and took his machine gun.
After shooting all the bodyguards, she wielded a gun in each hand and fired in Carl's direction.
Carl didn't expect Abigail to be so strong. Then, he quickly looked for cover behind a pillar while hisbodyguards protected him.
Abigail swapped guns and went to Xavien's side. She shielded him as they made their way towardsthe exit.
"Let's stop here now, sir. You better pray I won't be able to find anything about you. Otherwise, youbetter get out of New Yoke as soon as possible!" Abigail said before leaving with Xavien.
After they left, Carl came out behind the pillar with a grim expression. He slapped the bodyguardbeside him and scolded. "Useless! You guys can't even handle a woman!"
"Are you certain Simond is here?" asked another bodyguard.
"Are you doubting me?" Carl lashed out. "Even if he doesn't show up today, it'll be a matter of timebefore he does. I want to know everything about that woman! With Xavien injured, there's nothingshe can do!" He refused to believe that Simond would continue hiding once Abigail was beinghunted.
After that, he noticed Jonell, who was standing up. Then, he smirked and said, "Seize him. I heardthat a woman named Abigail wanted to know his whereabouts."
...
As Abigail helped Xavien into the car, she pressed down on the gas pedal and drove towards thehotel.
Xavien endured the pain as he took his tablet to investigate Carl. After thirty minutes, his expressionwas solemn. "Carl is Simond's nemesis. We're being targeted because of him."
"This guy... I knew that nothing good comes from getting entangled with him." Abigail gritted herteeth.
She couldn't believe that he had left a nemesis for them after his departure. What does this have todo with me?
"Simond must have been driven to New Yoke by him. He is using you to lure Simond out." Xavientook a deep breath. "How unfortunate we are. I initially thought it was Mr. Graham."
"I knew it wasn't him at first glance. However, I didn't expect Carl to have such an audacity to dosuch things," Abigail remarked.
Nevertheless, it was a good thing. After all, they had one enemy in plain sight now.
Xavien leaned back into the seat, his lips quivering from the pain. "Where is Mr. Graham? It'salready tough for us to dealing with Jonell, let alone Carl is here now..."
"Hurry up and gather Carl's information. He won't let us off that easily," Abigail said to Xavien.
Xavien nodded. Sweat dampened his eyes, making his bloodshot eyes even redder.
After returning to the hotel, Abigail sent him to the operating room. Inside the room, she gazedsolemnly at the night view.
Carl was acting quite bold earlier, so she knew that he was a strong influence in New Yoke. Thus, itwas only a matter of time before he found out their whereabouts. This place was risky, she thought.Once Xavien underwent surgery, Abigail knew it was time for them to leave.
Meanwhile, Jonell was taken by Carl to a secluded street in Queens Street.
With a foot pressing down on his hand, Jonell trembled in pain. He glared at Carl and said, "Howdare you treat me like this? You will be punished!"
"You are just a rat. Do you think I'm afraid of you? Do you know why I can have such influence inthe Chamber of Commerce? It's because my father is—" Before Carl could finish his sentence, abullet pierced through his forehead.
Jonell was utterly stunned by the scene before him as blood splattered his face.
The series of events tonight made him feel like he was living in a dream.
In the meantime, Carl's bodyguards were stunned. However, they soon fell to the ground one afteranother.
Jonell knelt on the ground and saw a group of men standing not far away under the streetlamp.Each of them looked tall and strong. The leader appeared quite ordinary.
After dealing with Carl, the man slowly approached Jonell with a gun.
Jonell was shivering.novelbin
In the dim light, the man's face gradually became clearer. He was a black man with thick lips. Helooked like he hadn't bathed in days and was emitting an unpleasant body odor.
"Hey. Aren't you going to get up?" The black man looked at Jonell coldly.
Jonell endured the pain hand and shivered as he stood up. "Who are you?"
"Your people paid me to save you. Who do you think I am? Who is this guy? Is he your enemy?" theblack man asked.
Jonell kicked Carl and replied, "Of course. However, you seem to have offended someone youshouldn't. His identity is not that simple."
Hearing his words, the black man and his companions laughed.
