Chapter 497
"You're very smart. If you had gotten impulsive and hurt me in any way, you and your entire family would have to suffer!"
Bang!
The gun went off, and blood splattered all over Jane's clothes.
Due to the powerful impact she received when the bullet shot into her body, Jane was sent stumbling backward. She only came to a halt when her body slammed into the wall behind her.
Clearly... Matthew had chosen to surrender earlier. He was obviously afraid, so why did he...
Jane looked at Matthew in bewilderment. "Aren't... Aren't you afraid?"
Matthew then replied expressionlessly, "I only took a few steps back because I was afraid that your blood would dirty my clothes. Did you really think I was scared?"
It was difficult for Jane to accept what happened. With a sharp pain throbbing in her chest, she looked down and saw the blood trickling out of the gunshot wound on her chest.
The blood ended up dripping onto the floor and formed into a mini pool of red. Jane struggled to process the truth and said, "You... You should know that I'm from Red Wolves. How could you shoot me? Aren't you afraid of revenge?"
Upon hearing that, Matthew replied, "Of course, I'm scared of it. That's the only reason I shot you! I'll shoot whoever threatens my parents and my children!"
With that, Jane stared at Matthew in horror. She finally realized where she went wrong—she had used the wrong methods and shouldn't have threatened him.
This was the moment she realized the importance of Matthew's family to him. The entire room was filled with silence.
Meanwhile, Sebastian looked at Matthew with a terrified expression as if he had seen him shoot someone else for the first time.
He had thought that Matthew fell for their schemes and was lured into the gamble by one of them. In the end, Matthew was the one who triumphed from the gamble and overthrew Caleb. Matthew was the true Chicanery expert here!
But what led Sebastian to be even more astonished was the fact that Matthew had taken action and shot Jane when she began to threaten his family.
Unlike him, who had mentally prepared himself more than a thousand times before he raised his gun at Caleb for his father, who had been captured, Matthew had acted instinctively. Even then, Sebastian's hands were shaking.
He watched Matthew with burning eyes. This was exactly what he imagined would go down when he did it!
The moment the gun went off, Caleb's pupils shrank. He was a Chicanery expert who had encountered various sorts of
situations, including numerous net
near-death experiences, and met all of the powerful people with great reputations.
Obviously, he had always believed that he was tough enough to face death head on! But now that he was faced with the grand might of the Red Wolves, he was overwhelmed with a sense of helplessness
Yet, here Matthew was, killing off a member of Red Wolves so decisively when they faced off with each other. Caleb couldn't help but develop a profound sense of fear.
The blood from the gunshot wound continued to drip onto the floor as if it were the moist waters dripping from the ceiling of a cave onto the rocks. The silence in the room was deafening.
Jane had broken into cold sweat and put her hand over the hole in her chest to stop the blood from seeping out, but it just kept bleeding profusely.
There was no way to stop it, and all Jane could do was watch her life slowly drain away.
Matthew was still pointing the gun at Jane, but he was silent and didn't shoot her anymore. Seeing Matthew in that state, Jane thought that he had become afraid.noveldrama
As such, she endured the pain and asked, "What's wrong? Are you regretting it?
"Well, you can still turn things around and save your family if you send me to the hospital now."
However, Matthew did not waver, and his face remained stone cold. The gun was still pointed at Jane, and Matthew had yet to speak.
By the side, Sebastian stared at Matthew in confusion as well. He couldn't understand what the latter was trying to do. Even Caleb was frowning as he watched in silence.
Jane's blood continued to drip onto the floor, forming a dark crimson puddle that gleamed eerily under the lights.
The smell of the metallic blood grew stronger by the minute. With the eight other corpses lying around them, the private room turned into a scene of death and carnage as if it were a vision from hell itself
Jane could feel her body growing weaker, and she became even more anxious
when she noticed that Matthew was still keeping his mouth shut.
"I know you regret shooting me, so take me to the hospital now that you're scared! Why are you just standing there? Have you gone stupid from all the shock? Hey... Say something!"
With all the fuss Jane was causing, Matthew finally responded with an icy tone, "What should I be saying? You're the one whose life is slipping away.
"If you're not worried about your life, you can continue to keep your mouth shut about Theo's whereabouts. I have no trouble waiting all day!"
