Chapter 1743: Irreconcilable Hatred
Chapter 1743: Irreconcilable Hatred
"Ugh." Felix groaned as he was struck in the chest, the pain taking his breath away momentarily.
He tasted the metallic tang of blood in his throat.
He immediately retched and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. It was clear that Cloud had intended to
take his life today. Damn it, Felix didn't enjoy fighting. It had been a long time since he had experienced
the pain of being injured. There was a difference between competition and real combat. Moreover, he
hadn't trained his skills in a long time.
Felix took several steps backward, steadying himself. He bent his body, trying to alleviate the pain from
the earlier strike.
Cloud's gaze turned frigid as ice, his fists clenched, and the veins on his temples bulged, almost on the
verge of bursting.
It was an obvious expression of hatred, poorly concealed.
"That's right, I'm Cloud, the leader of OGW. So what if you know? In hell, you won't have anyone to
speak to!" Cloud laughed coldly.
Felix squinted his eyes. Cloud's expression was unusual, clearly burning with hatred. This was not
simple; it was not just because of Vicki. There must be other reasons. Suzuki had mentioned the
Saunders family multiple times, suggesting that Cloud was familiar with them.
"Do you know me? What grudge do you have against the Saunders family?" Felix asked while stalling
for time, quickly thinking of a strategy. He wouldn't necessarily be Cloud's match in a head-on
confrontation.
"Have we met before?" Felix asked again when Cloud remained silent.
"Stop the nonsense. You don't need to know. Just die!" Cloud no longer wasted words and swiftly
kicked towards Felix as he got up.
Felix had merely diverted Cloud's attention earlier. Suddenly, he lifted himself onto his tiptoes, gently
flicking the ground, causing numerous pebbles to be sent flying towards Cloud.
Cloud instinctively shielded his eyes.
Little did he know that Felix had seized the opportunity to strike, landing a punch directly on Cloud's
chest.
Cloud winced in pain, retreating several steps. Damn it, he had been careless. Felix had a few tricks up
his sleeve, and Cloud had underestimated him. He had thought he could easily deal with Felix, but it
seemed unlikely now.
Simultaneously, Felix drew his pistol from his waist, pointing it directly at Cloud's forehead. Luckily, he
had brought his gun with him today. The earlier fight had been too intense, and he hadn't even had a
chance to draw his gun.
Finally finding an opening in Cloud's defenses, Felix moved swiftly to draw his gun.
His marksmanship was decent, although not on par with Joyce's exceptional skill. After all, the
Saunders family owned the largest handgun collection museum. The limited edition Pavona Witness
pistol that Joyce wielded had been snatched away by Luther from him.
Cloud furrowed his brow. Although he hadn't anticipated this, he believed that a mere pistol couldn't
harm him. He had stationed his men in the surroundings, and Felix probably hadn't noticed them. The
one who couldn't escape was Felix himself.
Felix firmly stated, "I don't know how you're related to Vicki or what your past grievances with the
Saunders family are. I don't care. All I know is that she is my woman now. She belongs to me, and you
have no connection to her. OGW is a wicked organization, and since you've appeared in Khebury, the
Saunders family will never stand idly by. I will eradicate you completely. Just wait! Hand Vicki over, and
maybe I'll consider letting you go."
Cloud laughed, "A wicked organization, huh? Talking as if the Saunders family is a group of righteousnovelbin
individuals. Do you know why Vicki was sentenced to probation for who she was involved with? How
she suffered because of the Saunders family? She will never be genuinely with you!"
"What!" Felix turned pale upon hearing this, almost believing it.
Cloud's appearance and his hatred couldn't be faked! It was undoubtedly genuine.
Vicki, she had an irreconcilable hatred with the Saunders family?
She was on probation because of the Saunders family?
Was this the reason why she had always refused to marry him? Her heart was cold and unresponsive
because of such a past?
Why was he completely unaware? He searched his mind, desperately trying to remember.
What past grievances had occurred between the Saunders family and Vicki?
Cloud noticed Felix's pale face and became even more arrogant. "Felix, the reason I've been with
OGW all this time is for today. Now that I'm back, I won't let the Saunders family go. Who will destroy
whom? Just wait and see! Hand Vicki over. Maybe I'll consider sparing you."
Cloud suddenly snapped his fingers.
Felix's thoughts were in disarray, and even his handwas trembling, including the gun he held. His
understanding had been overturned, and he was in a daze. He didn't even notice the changes around
him.
But Cloud, seizing the opportunity, suddenly kicked and knocked the gun out of Felix's hand.
As Felix finally regained his composure, he realized that there were men hiding around the shipping
containers. He realized he had been careless and was now in a very disadvantageous position.
"Bang." A gunshot rang out.
Felix, quick to react, rolled to the side, evading the attack.
This wasn't good. He needed to find cover.
As he stood up and prepared to run towards the shipping containers, it was already too late. Gunfire
from two directions simultaneously targeted him, leaving him surrounded. It seemed that Cloud truly
intended to end his life today.
Felix knew he couldn't dodge the bullets. As death loomed, he felt an extraordinary calmness in his
heart, only Vicki's figure floating in his mind. He didn't know if she was in danger.
Just as he teetered on the brink of death...
Suddenly, a loud shout came from above, "Be careful, get out of the way!"
The familiar, deep, and captivating voice was Vicki's.
Before Felix could react, she had already jumped down from above, pushing him away forcefully.
Following closely was the sound of two gunshots. One missed, causing sparks to fly on the ground,
while the other...
