Chapter 29: I Said You’re Next!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This was the first time the boss encountered such a scene.
For a long time, he was unable to speak, and for a moment, time became abnormally slow.
What kind of being did they provoke that caused them to just lie on the ground like this?
‘Living in this world is not as easy as you think!’
He recalled what he had said just now, it was really not easy!
It was not him who was not easy, but this handsome young man in his early twenties?!
Bruce ignored the boss and only whispered to the people, “If you keep pretending to be unconscious, I will let you sleep forever.”
Although his tone was soft, it was like a sharp arrow that made these people tense up.
They were suffocated by the thought of it.
“I’m awake, I’m awake, I’m just taking a breath.”
“I’m awake too…”
One by one, they climbed up from the ground, but they still maintained a half-kneeling posture, didn’t dare to move or even breathe at all.
“Good, go on and tell your boss what you guys will do tomorrow.” Bruce asked.
The arrogance they had was gone. They lowered their heads and said, “When we go back, we will turn ourselves in. We will also expose the fact that the boss committed a crime and that we have the evidence…”
“Good,” Bruce nodded.
After the boss heard it, his veins immediately showed, “You b*stards! Have you forgotten how I usually take care of you?!”
“Now you want to expose me? Don’t you all think you’re crossing the line?!”
He didn’t know what else to say because this matter had already exceeded his expectations. If these subordinates really went to the police station, his billion-dollar empire would disappear overnight.
How could he not be afraid?
Especially in this world, committing a crime bore severe punishments.
These people had something on him. If this matter proceeded as they stated, his life would be over. He would have to spend the rest of his life in prison.
However, these people did not say anything further, which meant that their stance was clear.
The boss did not know what Bruce did to make them so obedient, but he could only give in.
“Mr. Bruce, how much money do you need?”
“I can give you anything you want.”
“We can meet and have a chat about it. What do you think?”
The boss was using every trick he could think of to stop them from going to the police station tomorrow. His subordinates were now Bruce’s pets, so he could try with Bruce.
But Bruce only smiled at this. “There’s no need.”
“Ding, congratulations to the host for overcoming the F-rank house-leaving crisis. 1 point rewarded!”
“Then tell me what you need. I’ll prepare it right away. As long as it’s something that can be solved with money, you can name it!”
With a hint of panic, he seemed to have thought of something and immediately said , “Oh right! Other than money, I can also give you a house and a woman. Tell me what kind of woman you want, I can snatch it for you!”
“How about you be my vice president from now on? You don’t have to do anything. You just need to take the salary every month!”
The boss was not a fool. He just wanted to use this method to stabilize the other party. His soft-spoken manner was just an act to hide the fact that he actually wanted to cut Bruce into a thousand pieces.
Bruce knew this, but he had never encountered such a situation. He had seen such scenes appearing once or twice in novels and TV dramas. How could he not know?!
Moreover, none of the conditions offered by the boss were satisfactory to him, so why should he agree?
“No need, you’re next.” After saying that, Bruce hung up the phone.
When the boss heard the beeping sound of the call ending, his eyes were distorted, and the cigar in his hand broke into half, “Bruce! Bruce!!!!”
“Men! Men!” he shouted into the phone.
After a while, a few armed men appeared at the door. The boss stood up with a gold pistol in his hand and said to them, “Kill Bruce tonight!”
“Before that, I want him to kneel down and watch me rape his woman. When he regrets, we will torture him to death!”
With that, the boss led his men towards Bruce’s direction.
This time, the boss personally went into action. The men he brought were the famous mercenary group – the Smiley Killers.
This name was given because of the their intense torture skills.
For those who met the Smiley Killers, death was certainly the greatest relief.
In less than an hour, he boss rushed downstairs with the Smiley Killers.
“Go up and drag those two down. There’s no need to torture them — yet. I want to see them getting tortured with my own eyes.” A wretched smile appeared on the boss’ face as if he was already watching Bruce and Aurora suffer.
After receiving the orders, the Smiley Killers loaded their weapons and set up their night vision gear. Everything went smoothly as planned.
When they reached downstairs, a mercenary wanted to throw a tear gas grenade and a flash grenade into Bruce’s window. So the rest of the group put on their gas masks and rushed up the building.
They had experienced this kind of environment countless times, so they reached Bruce’s door easily. Outside the window, there were a few mercenaries pulling ropes, ready to climb down.
Grappling hooks were fired directly at Bruce’s home. In less than 30 seconds, all the mercenaries were in position.
Entering the house, one minute.
Five minutes.
Ten minutes.
The boss stood outside and frowned his brows, “What’s going on? Why aren’t they coming out yet?!”
“Are they having fun?!”
As he thought about it, he got more and more convinced that they weren’t following his orders. Even though they were hired, it was common for them to not listen to him.
Especially when it came to torturing people.
It was very likely that they had already started upstairs!
“F*ck!” The boss took out his gold pistol and walked towards Bruce’s house.
When he reached upstairs, he saw that the door had already been opened. “Huff Huff Huff… I knew they started. I’m going to kill them on the spot.”
Since his goal had been achieved. the boss no longer cared whether they had already started. He even thought of Aurora kneeling on the ground.
“You people, why don’t you listen to my orders!”
“I really want to…”
Whoosh!
He felt his huge body flew through the air, a sharp pain was felt throughout his body.
The next second, he fell to the ground. He did not know what happened. The pain was so great that he could not move and almost fainted.
“I said you’re next,” Bruce said as he stepped on the boss’s head.
