The subordinates standing around all realized Luke couldn't take Kingsley's punches anymore, or he would die!
Kingsley was like he got eyes on his back. A guy just moved his foot when Kingsley’s sullen voice sounded, "Stand there! If anyone dares to come over, I will beat him a s well!"
The guys didn't dare to move anymore. They stood still.
Kingsley yanked Luke at his collar and stared at him. His gaze was so sharp as if they were to pierce Luke. "Looks like today, we're going to get it over! One of us will die! It’s whether you or me! Terrific!"
Just then, a guy walked over with a cell phone in his hand. Risking being punched by Kingsley, he handed the phone to Luke.
Kingsley swung a punch at him and immediately, the guy fell to the ground.
The others were intimidated. They didn't dare to move.
On hearing what was said on the phone, Luke's face turned awful, his breathing became rapid, and he looked panicked.
He bluntly wiped the blood off the corners o f his mouth. Then he said his first words tonight, "Eileen and my son had a car accident. They are in the ICU right now. I must go. When they're okay, whatever you want to do to me is up to you!" "You have a conscience now?" Kingsley sneered, "Too late!" "My son is in the ICU. I don't know if he’s still breathing. I have to go see him. As soon as I take care of things in the hospital, I'll come back!" It was difficult for Luke to speak. He kept coughing all the time. He had been hit too hard. His stomach and lungs ached severely when he coughed.
"You're in a hurry? But I'm laid back. I have plenty of time. What do you say? Right now you're my favorite game. If you leave, what should I do to kill the time?"
It was rare that Kingsley had a touch of evil on his face. Seeing Luke being extremely anxious, he was pleased. He was indifferent. There was such a dark side of him too. It just he never showed it before.
