Chapter 761 Reward
After Gavin entered the room, he looked up and noticed Susan was not the only person sitting on thecouch. There was also an unknown man inside the room.
“We're back, Susan,” Gavin said.
Susan was sipping wine at that moment. When she saw him rubbing his hands, wanting to take theinitiative to pour her a drink, she smiled, raised her foot, and pressed her high-heeled shoe against hischest.
Gavin could not help but gulp at the sight of her long, fair leg.
Susan was a beauty, to begin with. It was rumored that she was Aldrich's secret lover.
Truth be told, Gavin fantasized about her at times in the dead of night. However, he only dared to thinkabout it and would never actually do anything to her.
“You've done well this time. What reward do you want?”
Susan's voice was mellow and seductive when she uttered those words.
Gavin felt his throat becoming dry. With his eyes riveted on her, he stammered, “I-I'll let you decide,Susan.”
“You're really letting me decide?” Susan asked.
The look in her gaze turned more enticing, causing him to feel like he was losing himself in her eyes.
“Yes. It's your call,” Gavin answered.
Susan retracted her leg, and at that moment, Henrick suddenly pulled out the dagger from his waistand stabbed Gavin in the back.
“Ah!” Gavin screamed.novelbin
Never in his wildest dreams could he have anticipated Hendrick attacking him abruptly. He attempted tostruggle, but the latter was a special forces veteran and thus was much more capable than Gavin interms of combat prowess.
Subdued by Henrick, Gavin did not even have the chance to resist.
“Hendrick, what the h*ll are you doing?” Gavin shrieked.
“This is the reward Susan has prepared for you,” Henrick replied.
He applied force to the dagger as he spoke, ripping a gash in Gavin's flesh and even revealing thewhite bones beneath.
“Susan, what did I do wrong? I have been loyal to you, and my allegiance has never swayed!” Gavinyelled.
Susan lit a cigarette and gazed at him indifferently. “Everyone in the Gomez family's convoy should'vebeen equipped with rifles, right? How could the few of you possibly severely injure Thaddeus with somenearly scrapped handguns? Also, the Gomez family's Durbaine Port should be heavily guarded bydozens of guards and overseen by a Septet Stella Warrior. So, tell me, Gavin. How did you make themset their own armory on fire?”
“It wasn't me. I don't know how it was done,” Gavin said anxiously. “Donald, hurry up and explain thesituation to Susan. Tell her what happened.”
Susan shifted her attention to Donald, signaling for him to speak.
Donald uttered nonchalantly, “We held Thaddeus hostage, then used him to threaten Lancelot,instructing them to burn their firearms inside the warehouse. They were afraid we would kill Thaddeus,so they complied.”
When he was done talking, a hush descended over the room.
Susan clapped her hands and gave Donald a thumbs-up. “Brat, do you think this is my first day in theunderworld? Thaddeus may indeed be the Gomez family's eldest grandson, but the goods at DurbainePort were worth tens of billions. Do you think Thaddeus' life is worth that much?”
Donald stared at her and said, “It's up to you to believe it or not. That's how we did it anyway.”
She sneered. “It's not that I don't want to believe you, but I just can't bring myself to do so. Donald,back then, I admired your combat prowess, which was why I kept you around to work for me. However,are you aware that combat prowess is secondary in our line of work? Loyalty always takes precedence.I've checked your background. You're indeed Evelyn's manager, but you're more than just a manager atDragon Fide Corporation, aren't you? How could you, the vice president of Dragon Fide Corporation,be short of money?”
