Chapter 507: A Confrontation
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
This speed was not at the level of the Lind Jones he knew at all!
But this was indeed Lind Jones!
What else did Liu Guang not understand?
Lind Jones had been lying to him!
To be precise, ever since he escaped from Ghost Slaughter Island and found the Jones Family, Lind Jones had never shown his true ability in front of him!
At such a fast speed, coupled with the close distance and the way he held the gun,
Liu Guang didn’t shoot because he didn’t dare to bet his life on it.
It wasn’t that Lind Jones’s skills and marksmans.h.i.+p could surpa.s.s Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin and injure him in one go. Liu Guang was only wary of him and so, he didn’t pull the trigger.
It was because he saw a hint of madness in Lind Jones’s eyes.
A hint of madness that showed that he was not afraid of death.
Lind Jones was a pervert. Sometimes, perverts were crazier than lunatics.
As the saying goes, the ruthless one is afraid of the suicidal one.
How could the masked Yuan Xi still stand quietly when Lind Jones made a move?
Although his speed was not as fast as Lind Jones, he was not slow either. Just as Liu Guang and Lind Jones were facing each other, he also s.n.a.t.c.hed the weapon from someone at the side and held it in his hand.
Liu Guang only noticed Yuan Xi then.
He frowned deeply.
Could such skills really just belong to an ordinary subordinate?
Without thinking, Liu Guang’s attention was on Lind Jones again.
Facing a pervert, whom Liu Guang did not know what his next step would be, he did not dare to let his guard down.
He looked at Lind Jones and asked, “What do you want to do? Or rather, what’s your purpose in the beginning?”
“As expected of Mr. Liu. I didn’t say anything and you already thought of so much in such a short time.” Lind Jones held his gun with both hands and smiled casually and with a hint of interest.
“To be honest, no one has dared to threaten me like that other than Lane Jones. Mr. Liu is the first person after Lane Jones.”
“Actually, at that time, I wanted to kill Mr. Liu. However, I wasn’t completely confident that I could win against Hei Yao and Liu Yu, who were always beside Mr. Liu at the same time. That was why I hid my true thoughts and cooperated with Mr. Liu.”
“You pointed a gun at my head and threatened not only my life, but also the Jones Family. You said that if I didn’t cooperate, you would make the Jones Family die with me. Tsk.”
“I’m not so angry if you’re just using my life as a threat. You actually dare to use the Jones Family as a threat. That’s something I’ve guarded for so many years. Even if I want to destroy it, only I can destroy it. Other than me, no one can control the life and death of the Jones Family!”
Liu Guang’s eyes narrowed and his gaze was ruthless and sharp, “So, you held a grudge and started to plan how to settle this score at that time!”
His tone was affirmative.
Lind Jones didn’t deny it and smiled. “Yes.”
“Take revenge for Lane Jones? Only Mr. Liu would believe such a joke. I’m happier than anyone else that Lane Jones is dead! If Yan Jinyu hadn’t killed him, he would have died in my hands sooner or later!”
“You deliberately agreed to our cooperation with the first condition as Chi’s true ident.i.ty to confuse me!”
Lind Jones smiled casually and interestingly.
He did not deny it.
“You spent three years pretending to be a teacher and hiding in North City. You even put yourself in danger and almost lost your life just to confuse me. Jones, you’re really willing to sacrifice yourself!” Liu Guangyu mocked.
“Thank you for the compliment.” Lind Jones acted like he didn’t hear his sarcasm.
“It’s also because Mr. Liu is very capable. Otherwise, I might not be willing to make such a huge sacrifice. Previously, in North City, I almost died at Yan Jinyu’s hands.” He patted his heart and acted like he was afraid, but he looked inexplicably irritating, making Liu Guang want to slap him a few times.
“Since I’ve made such a huge sacrifice, I don’t want to end up with nothing. Mr. Liu didn’t believe me previously and might not believe me in the future. Instead of that, it’s better to do what I want to do when I see Mr. Liu now.”
What did he want to do?
Naturally, it was to kill Liu Guang.
Liu Guang naturally understood what he meant.
His expression darkened. “It’s undeniable that you’re indeed quite capable. Even I was deceived by you!”
“But that’s all.”
“You’ve endured for so long, but it’s not wise to expose yourself now.”
“This is my territory. They’re all my people. You can’t kill me at all. Even if you’re lucky enough to kill me, you won’t be able to leave here.”
“Jones, if I’m not wrong, you deliberately let the power of the Jones Family fall into that illegitimate son’s hands so quickly, right?”
“You’ve already sacrificed so much for this. Why did you make a fool of yourself at the last moment? Perhaps if you wait a little longer, I’ll give you all my trust.”
Lind Jones smiled. “Make a fool? Mr. Liu really thinks so?”
Seeing his smile, Liu Guang was a little uncertain.
Lind Jones had endured for so long to kill him. Would he really choose to expose himself without any chance of winning?
The possibility was… not high.
Then he…
Just as he was thinking about it, someone sent a message outside. “Sir, Eldest Miss Yin wants to see you.”
This was the first time Yin Xiaoxiao had taken the initiative to look for him in all these years.
Liu Guang should be excited, but he wasn’t.
If Lind Jones hadn’t been exposed, he might have been excited, even if it meant that Yin Xiaoxiao had probably been pretending all these years.
Yin Xiaoxiao asked to meet him as soon as Lind Jones exposed himself.
How could it be such a coincidence?
Lind Jones and Yin Xiaoxiao might have reached a collaboration without him knowing!
This understanding made Liu Guang’s face instantly darken.
He looked at Hei Yao and Liu Yu. “Take them down first! I don’t care if they’re dead or alive!”
They were obviously referring to Lind Jones and Yuan Xi.
Hei Yao didn’t move. “Sir, G.o.dmom is here.”
It looked like he was only reminding Liu Guang and Yin Xiaoxiao.
Hei Yao did not hide the joy on his face either.
Anyone with eyes could tell that he was very happy that Yin Xiaoxiao had come looking for him.
He was very happy to see Yin Xiaoxiao again.
Liu Yu had held a gun in his hand like Liu Guang when Lind Jones s.n.a.t.c.hed the weapon. He was facing Lind Jones and ready to attack at any time.
However, he didn’t follow Liu Guang’s orders.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to obey Liu Guang’s orders, but he knew very well that he had no chance of winning against Lind Jones, who was very different from his impression.
And knowing that he had no chance of winning, and yet his father still ordered him to do this. Wasn’t he worried about his safety?
At the thought of this, he couldn’t help but recall the rumors that Yan Jinyu suggested using Sisi and the other three to exchange for Yin Xiaoxiao, but her father didn’t agree to it.
Of the three of them, one was a subordinate that her father had meticulously nurtured, and the other two were her father’s biological daughters. One of them was even taught by her father personally.
His father simply abandoned them.
Then, his father had ordered him to take Lind Jones down and even said that it didn’t matter if he lived or died. Was this so-called “dead or alive” not only targeting Lind Jones, but also him?
Liu Yu’s heart turned cold.
He hesitated.
He didn’t immediately follow Liu Guang’s orders.
Liu Guang looked at them and his eyes darkened, “Why? Can’t I order you two around now?”
“G.o.dmom is here. I don’t want G.o.dmom to see a b.l.o.o.d.y scene, nor do I want G.o.dmom to suddenly come in and be injured by accident later,” Hei Yao said bluntly.
Liu Guang frowned deeply as he glanced at Hei Yao.
He then looked at Liu Yu, “Yu, Yao’er didn’t listen to my orders because of this. What about you?”
“Father, I can’t take Lind Jones down. I don’t have any advantage against him. I might be injured by him.”
He stared at Liu Guang, “Isn’t Father worried that I’ll die at his hands? Or is it that in Father’s opinion, I’m the same as Sister and can be abandoned at any time?”
Liu Guang’s heart skipped a beat, and then his eyes turned cold, “Yu, are you disobeying me?”
“Not only are you disobedient, but you’re also questioning me?”
“To me, only useless people can be abandoned at any time. Are you sure you want to become that kind of person? If it’s true, I don’t mind helping you!”
Liu Yu lowered his eyes. After a long while, he said, “…No, Father. I have no intention of disobeying you, nor do I doubt you. I’m just…”
What was it?
Did he think that he was the same as his sister and was not important to his father and could be abandoned by his father at any time?
What happened after that?
Would he attack Lind Jones according to his father’s instructions? Even if he would lose his life?
Liu Yu was uncertain.
Uncertainty? If it wasn’t suspicion, what was it then?
If he didn’t follow his father’s orders, what else could it be but disobedience?
Liu Guang’s eyes were cold. He looked at Liu Yu like he was looking at a dead person.
Liu Yu was terrified.
His fear for Liu Guang came from his bones.
However, compared to before, other than fear, he felt a chill in his heart.
At this moment, Hei Yao reminded him, “Sir, G.o.dmom is waiting to see you outside.”
Liu Guang looked at him deeply and then at Liu Yu. Then, his gaze swept past Lind Jones, who seemed to be watching a good show with a faint smile. Liu Guang’s expression was dark, “Let her in!”
Since he could not avoid the problem in front of him, he would face it directly.
He wanted to see what they were going to do!
