Will Sr. paused for a moment before he said, “Of course, maybe they went but didn’t return. Who knows?” Anyway, he had seen a lot of customers. Some of them suddenly lost contact after working a few times, so he was not sure if they had given up or if they had failed and died. i????????re????????. ????????m
Of course, the men in black had investigated Will Sr. in advance. According to his abilities, he didn’t look like he had the ability to get the order. However, following the principle of killing the wrong person and not letting them go, they still ordered, “Then hand over the list of all the employers you have and their contact details.”

When one of the men in black heard Will Sr. resisting, he threw the butt of his gun at his face. “We’re not discussing with you. We’re ordering you!”
Will Sr. felt dizzy, but he still insisted, “This is impossible.”
The next second, the man in black pulled the safety of the pistol and pointed the muzzle at his head. “Let’s see if your reputation is more important or if your life is tougher.”
Will Sr. closed his eyes and said, “Do it then.” He was taking a gamble.
As a businessman, Will Sr. naturally cherished his life, so he was even more aware that if any information about his clients were to leak out of his mouth, even just a word or two, he would sink himself into the abyss. All the guests who had asked him for help would not let him go for the sake of their secrets. He would die without a doubt.
Although he was being pointed at with a gun, he still had a way out. As the saying goes, there are rules in the pugilistic world, even in the gray areas.
A bounty intermediary like Will Sr. might seem like a dangerous job, but everyone tacitly agreed to an unspoken rule, and that was that they were just the middlemen. So, no matter what the mission was, no matter who suffered losses or even lost their lives because of it, they generally wouldn’t find trouble with the intermediary.
This was an annoying but special existence. Therefore, Will Sr. was betting on whether the men in black and their master would lay their hands on all the agencies for a single sapphire.
If they really dared to, then this person would not live long. After all, even though the middlemen usually did things their own way and the competition between them was not small, everyone would still stand on the same front when it came to the issue of immediate interests. At that time, the behind-the-scenes boss would have to face endless troubles.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was obvious that Will Sr. had made the right bet. Just as the man in black was about to kill Will Sr. with a single shot, another tall man grabbed his gun and stopped him. “Don’t cause trouble for the boss.”
The same thing happened in other places. In the end, Will Sr. was put in a sack and kicked out of the car to the ground. He rolled not far from the door of his toy store.
Will Sr. struggled in the sack for a long time before he untied the knot and came out.
At that moment, the men in black’s car had disappeared without a trace, but Will Sr. knew that those people were still watching him from behind.
“To h*ll with it!” Will Sr. gasped for breath and spat next to the electric pole. He cursed, “Don’t let me find out who was so stupid and bold to provoke these killing gods and drag me down with them. Otherwise, I will never let them go!” Will Sr. returned to the shop, cursing. He obviously didn’t want to open the shop anymore after what happened, so he pulled down the curtain door.
The store suddenly turned dark. He walked back to the counter, holding his sore waist that had just been kicked. He turned on a small table lamp and was about to sit down when he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
After he sent a distress signal to Caroline, he secretly stuffed the children’s watch back into the box. But now, the only black children’s watch was missing from the pile of colorful children’s watches.
Either someone took the things from the store when he was not there, or someone found out that he had sent a distress message and took the children’s watch. It was very likely that the person was still lying in ambush in the store.
Will Sr.’s heart skipped a beat. He reached under the counter and pressed hard. With a light click, a hidden compartment was revealed, and a pistol was hidden inside..
