โAndy, what the hell are you doing?โ Ronaldโs voice cracked with fury as he felt the cold, hard muzzle of the gun press against his forehead.
Andrew smiled like it was no big deal. โWhat am I doing? Are your eyes failing you? Iโm about to find out exactly who made the move.โ
Ronald roared, completely losing it. โAndrew, youโre really pulling this stunt? What if I just donโt tell you? You seriously think youโll pull the damn trigger?โ
Andrew calmly released the safety. โYou can test me if you want.โ
Beads of cold sweat rolled down Ronaldโs forehead. He could not tell from Andrewโs gaze whether the man would actually shoot. Nonetheless, even with his formidable strength, his brains would still be blown out.
โFine! Iโll talk! Damn it, Iโll talk! But Andrew, I wonโt ever forget this humiliation!โ
Andrew simply smiled, holding the gun tightly.
Ronald spat, โThe one who planted the explosives is hiding in Gutterโs Maw right now. You donโt need me to spell out the exact spot because your people will find it fast enough. As for the mastermindโฆ I canโt say. But knowing you, youโll find a way to make them talk.โ
He finished in one breath. Then, he let out a cold snort and stormed off.
Andrew placed the gun back on the table and said flatly, โMeetingโs over. The rest of this doesnโt concern any of you.โ
Aaron smirked. โGutterโs Maw ainโt exactly the easiest place to catch someone. Mr. Lloyd, how about I handle it for youโฆ Say, for 100 million?โ
Andrew pointed at the door. โHave a nice day.โ
Aaronโs smile twitched, and he slinked off in defeat. He had hoped to make a huge profit out of this, but who would have thought that Andrew was such a damn tightwad who would not part with a penny?
Duncan said, โMr. Lloyd, Iโll take my men to Gutterโs Maw and handle the arrest!โ
Andrewโs expression was cold. โIโm coming with you.โ
He went upstairs to check in with Lauren and the others to give them a quick update. After that, he brought Dylan and Natasha along, and he joined Duncanโs team heading toward Gutterโs Maw.
Blumedaleโs Gutterโs Maw was notorious for being dirty, chaotic, and dangerous. Law enforcement officers were in and out all the time, dealing with every kind of crime you could think of.
Suddenly, a wooden shack by a reeking drainage canal was kicked open. However, the moment they stepped in, they were knocked out and sent flying back out through the doorway.
At the back of the shack, a dark figure smashed through the wall and bolted. Within seconds, he vanished beneath the dim glow of the streetlights.
Duncan lost it. โUseless morons! Get after him now! If you donโt catch him, you can all drop dead for all I care!โ
He turned to Andrew, looking embarrassed. โMr. Lloyd, Iโm sorry about that. But donโt worry, Iโll get that bastard.โ
Andrew waved a hand. โCall them off. Natasha, Dylanโgo.โ
The two of them were already on the move, vanishing down the narrow alley in pursuit.
Andrew did not say a word as he turned down another alley, picking up speed with every step.
Duncan and the others following behind him were completely puzzled.
โMr. Lloyd, what are you doing?โ Rachel jogged along, looking confused.
Andrew said calmly, โThat guyโs pretty skilled, and the terrain here is very complex. If we just chase him straight-on, we might never catch up.โ
