Female Novel
Chapter 1224
The man was so badly beaten up that he begged for mercy, but it was useless. The brawny mendidn't leave him alone until he was beaten half to death.
Hendrix watched coldly. The man on the ground struggled as he tried to get up. He tried severaltimes, but still failed to do so. Hence, he could only wriggle like a maggot on the ground.
He was in such a bad state that I couldn't help but ask, "Hendrix, can we help him?"
Hendrix pursed his lips, not saying anything. Seeing that, I didn't say anything more. After all, wewere at a casino, not somewhere else. It wasn't the time for me to be kind-hearted.
We were going to leave. However, the man blocked our way. Hendrix had no choice but to stop thecar and looked at the man indifferently.
As we waited, the man seemed to have used up all his strength and lay on the ground. Hendrixnarrowed his eyes and started the car. It was loud and strong, making me wonder if Hendrix wouldjust run the person over.
Surprisingly, once the man heard the sound of the engine, he got up from the ground as if he had
been injected with some sort of resurrection liquid. Then, he lay on the front of the car with hisbloody and bruised face. He grinned at Hendrix and said, "It's inappropriate to leave one to die, isn'tit?"novelbin
I was taken aback. Did they know each other?
Hendrix looked at him without saying a word.
The man laughed and said, "Since both of you have seen what happened, please be magnanimousand send me to the hospital. My leg is broken; I can't walk."
It was the first time I met someone who could talk about life and death so calmly.
Hendrix spat out a word, "Scram!"
The man shamelessly climbed to the top of the car and said like a rascal, "If you don't take me tothe hospital, then we will be wasting time like this. My bad if I scared the beautiful lady beside you."
Hendrix's face darkened. He started the car and drove it fiercely. The man did not hold tight and felloff the car. Hendrix did not intend to stop driving at all. As he watched the man roll down the front ofthe car, he continued driving with no expression on his face.
Fortunately, the man was quick enough to move out of the way to avoid death.
Cursing could be heard. "You're crazy. If you run me over, that makes you a murderer."
The cursing faded as we drove away.
I was so anxious I felt cold sweat down my back. I looked at the flashing lights outside to calmdown. I turned to look at Hendrix's sullen face, and I couldn't help but ask, "What was all thatabout?"
The conversation between him and Kaleb was obviously what they had agreed on before. I had noidea what they talked about, but he left me with Tobias, which was obviously a bet on whetherTobias would help him or not.
He looked sideways at me and asked, "Are you afraid?"
I shook my head, and then nodded. The contradictory actions made him laugh, easing the tenseatmosphere.
"Are you or are you not afraid?"
I thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid, but not afraid. I'm afraid because I don't know anything.If something happens to you, I have no idea what to do. I'm not afraid because I know that you'reconfident in everything you do. You won't put us in danger."
Driving the car, he said, "What if I say that I'm not confident in all of this?" His eyes were likebottomless pools.
