Rafael said, โDidnโt you want to kill your old man and take his place? Sure, the risk is a bit high, but Grand Viper already hates the Wrights to his core. Itโs not entirely impossible to make this work. As long as you handle things cleanly, I wouldnโt mind helping you get Grand Viper to step in.โ
Quinton gritted his teeth and asked, โBut what if Andrew says no?โ
Mosby shrugged and said, โThen youโre worthless to us, and Grand Viperโs already dying to skin you alive.โ
Quinton did not say a word. He took the blank piece of the map and walked out of the villa. He muttered, โYou two filthy dogsโฆ One day, Iโll make sure you suffer worse than death.โ
As he glanced back at the villa, his eyes were filled with venomous hatred. He had not expected that giving up the map would not earn him gold or power, but instead, a death sentence. He should have seen it coming. Mosby and Rafael were both snakesโtreachery was second nature to them.
โBut what now? How the hell do I even talk to Andrew? With the way he operates, heโd probably treat me like dog crap.โ
Quinton stood by the roadside, a dark expression clouding his face as he struggled to make a decision. After a long pause, he pulled out his phone and made a call. โYara, hey, my sweet little sisterโฆ Got time for a coffee with me?โ He was all smiles, trying his best to sound humble and polite.
Yara answered coldly, โQuinton, cut the crap. Coffee? You seriously think Iโd believe anything you say now?โ
Quinton cursed silently, calling her an ungrateful little bitch. โYara, I need a favor. Youโre pretty close with Andrew, arenโt you? I need to ask him for something.โ Quinton kept his tone low and submissive, still trying to sweet-talk her.
Yara was shocked and burst into laughter. โWait, what? Youโre asking me to help you ask Andrew for a favor? Quinton, never thought Iโd see the day. Alright, go on then. What do you want our dear Andrew to help you with? Iโm curious nowโwhat kind of karma finally caught up to you?โ
Quinton snapped, โNothingโs wrong with me! Iโm doing just fine! Absolutely fine! I just want you to help me set up a meeting with him. As for the details, thatโs none of your business.โ
Yara giggled. โStill playing the mysterious card, huh? Well, tough luck. Iโm busy, so Iโm not helping. And besides, isnโt it โUncle Andrewโ now? You could just call up your beloved godfather and beg him. Maybe if youโre lucky, heโll meet you.โ
Quinton was seething with rage. He shouted, โYara, you little bitch, donโt you dare bring that up again, you hear me?โ
She did not even let him finishโjust hung up on him.
Quinton stood there fuming, humiliated, and boiling with fury. He was not going to let this go. He tried calling her again, but an automated message came through this timeโshe had blocked his number.
โYou damn whore! You, Rafael, Mosby, Andrewโevery last one of youโyouโre all gonna die miserable deaths! Just wait!โ Quinton exploded in a rage, screaming his lungs out on the street.
Passersby stopped to stare, their expressions full of concern and confusion, like they were looking at a lunatic.
That only made Quinton more furious. He nearly lunged at them to start swinging punches, but he held it in. If he could not activate that fragment of the map in his hands, his life would be over soon anyway.
Suddenly, someone popped into his headโChristina. She was the woman he originally planned to make his own, but now, rumor had it, she was living in Andrewโs Serenity Villa. That might just be his solution.
Immediately, he made another call. โWhere are you? Iโve got something I need you to doโright now. If you screw this up, Iโm done being patient. Iโll kill you, your mom, and your little brother. No more warnings.โ
Quintonโs voice was vicious, threatening without hesitation.
