qThe assassin pointed the gun at Francesca, warning sternly, “Tell that thing to get off right now or I'll kill you!”
“Put down your gun now,” Francesca retaliated in an unhurried manner, raising her brow. “If not, your leader is
going to die.”
“You—”
“Ah!”
Before the assassin could speak, the green snake bit into Pastor's neck, causing the latter to scream in agony. In the
blink of an eye, his face flushed.
The assassin put down his gun hurriedly, not daring to threaten Francesca anymore.
As for the other assassins, they were shocked and at a loss for what to do.
“If anything happens to me, none of you will be leaving here alive. Ah!” Pastor shouted.
He was quite incredible for being able to warn Francesca even while being in so much pain.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThinking Francesca was one of Danrique's subordinates, Edward quickly advised, “Mr. Lindberg, we can talk this out
—”
“She's not one of my men. I can't control her.” Danrique shrugged, looking as though there was nothing he could
do.
“All the people out there are Pastor's men.” Edward panicked, and he persuaded, “If something happens to him,
we're all going to suffer.”
Francesca frowned. Just as she was about to speak, Danrique suddenly clapped. The windows opened and a group
of bodyguards leaped in from the windows, aiming their guns at Pastor's assassin.
Everything happened in a flash. Before the assassins could come to their senses, they were already restrained.
At the same time, the door opened, and the other bodyguards of the Lindberg family rushed in. Meanwhile, all the
assassins had crashed to the ground.
“You—” Pastor was shocked by the scene before him. “So, you were prepared.”
“It's always best to be on one's guard,” Danrique said plainly. “If you talk nicely, I'll do the same. Since you chose to
take action, I can't just do nothing, can I?”
“Edward—” When Pastor was about to speak, he crashed onto the sofa in pain.
“Looks like I, the middleman, have become a joke.” Edward smiled bitterly and said in a pleading tone, “Now that
things have come to this point, I just hope you guys don't slaughter each other in my territory for my sake.”
“Mr. Lindberg...” William reminded softly. “We're still at Summerbank...”
His words were very suggestive, but only several important people understood them. What he was trying to say was
that Pastor was not alone; he had other hidden forces that were backing him.
Those forces had great authority in M Nation. If they were to kill Pastor there that day, it might be difficult for them
to leave Summerbank.
“Edward, I'm sure you've witnessed Pastor's attitude,” Danrique said calmly. “He was the one who disrespected us
first. I was just trying to protect myself. So, this result is what he brought upon himself.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yes, I agree,” Edward nodded.
“Since this negotiation is unsuccessful, then we shall do things based on our abilities in the future. May the winner
take it all. That's all, then.” Danrique got to his feet and got ready to leave.
“Wait.” Edward quickly stood up. Pointing at the tiny green snake on Pastor's neck, he said, “That thing...”
“Francesca!” William shot her a look, frowning.
“Sam!” Francesca called out as she extended her arm. The snake slithered onto the carpet, crawled up Francesca's
body, and curled itself around her arm like an emerald bracelet.
“Pastor!”
Several assassins quickly went forward to help him up, while the others pointed their guns at Francesca.
Immediately, the Lindberg family's bodyguards aimed their guns at them. “Don't you dare touch Master Felch!”
“Master Felch is one of us. How dare you offend her?” Sloan added.
At that moment, Francesca had a powerful status in the hearts of the Lindberg family's bodyguards.
They would not hesitate to protect her without needing to wait for Danrique's instructions.
“I hate people who overestimate their abilities the most.” Francesca threw Pastor's words back at him. “Remember
this. Don't you ever underestimate anyone.”
With that, she turned around and left.
