Chapter 5035
“Even if I’m only a live-in son-in-law, I still belong to the family!
“Our pride is with the Jean family and the top ten families!
“We’d rather die than beg for our lives!”
Crack!
Before Harvey was done talking, Kanae snapped Reuben’s leg.
“You’re still running your mouth now?!” Kanae roared.
Reuben was about to roll on the ground after all that immense pain; he didn’t think Harvey would be so ruthless as to torture him using another person.
The other higher-ups were shocked as well.
‘Did this Islander grow up drinking the fear of his enemies or something?
‘Is he afraid of nothing?!
‘He’s fated to go against the entire family for crippling Elder Reuben like this!’
Harvey took a deep breath, as if he was starting to be swayed. He finally glanced at Elodie.
“I’ll offer myself as hostage.
“But on one condition!
“Let the woman go!”
Harvey pointed at Elodie.
“She’s the head of our branch! She needs to be safe! I won’t come to you until she’s out of this place!”
Elodie’s expression changed slightly.
“Harvey, you…”
Swoosh!
Before Elodie was done talking, Kanae swung his hand; a dart pierced right through her knee.
“Aaagh!”
There was a bit of distance, but Elodie was still hit; she rolled on the ground in pain, desperately wanting to strangle Harvey but having no power to do so.
“I have control over everyone’s life and death here!” Kanae exclaimed coldly. “If you keep yapping, I’ll break this woman’s arms too!”
Reuben was infuriated when he saw his woman hurt.
“What are you waiting for, Harvey? I’ll kill your entire family if you don’t get over here right now!”
Harvey sighed.
“There’s no need to pretend to break off from me, sir.
“I know what you’re trying to do-you’re trying to protect me by making the Islander think that we’re enemies!
“I’ll remember your deed forever!
“I’ll do my part as the Jean family’s live-in son-in-law!
“I will never give up!
“Don’t you worry!”
Reuben’s eyes twitched after hearing Harvey’s words; before he could say anything, Kanae waved his hand once again.
Swish!
A dart lodged right into Elodie’s throat. Her body twitched as her life was slowly being whisked away.
She didn’t expect to die like this at such a crucial moment. Alas, there was no point in being angry at this point.
The crowd was dead silent, thinking that the Islander was ruthless. Nobody thought that the branch head would just die so easily.
Harvey was a bit startled; he didn’t think Elodie would get killed, either.
‘The Islander must be an idiot… Are all Islanders like this…?’
Reuben froze, then lashed out in rage.
“You bastard! How dare you kill my woman?!
“I’ll kill you! I’ll fucking kill you!
“Everyone! Go at him!
“Gun him down this instant!”
Reuben would rather die than become a tool for the Islander.
Kanae chuckled coldly, then waved his hand again.
Swish!
A blade shimmered as it moved at lightning speed, and blood splattered all over the ground.
Reuben was filled with disbelief, rage, and resentment as he fell to the ground, paralyzed.
He didn’t think he’d die when he had such a huge force with him
