Keegan was utterly flabbergasted. He had never expected these audacious individuals would be so bold and daring in Anglandur.
“If you kill me, do you believe you can abscond from this place?” Keegan's tone was stern and unyielding.
Sophie's lips curved into a sardonic grin. She was an exquisite beauty, but she exuded an ominous aura at this moment.
“So you're willing to attempt it? I can certainly lend you a hand if you want to give it a go.”
She was confident that she could kill him and leave Anglandur in one piece.
“You...”
She didn't seem to be joking. Keegan genuinely felt as though his life was in peril.
“Well, are you ready to make a move now?” Sophie gave him the benefit of the doubt. Leaving would only be slightly more complicated, even if they were to kill him. But there was no question that they would be able to escape unscathed.
“You...”
No one had ever threatened him like this since he assumed his position. Today, he was threatened by a twenty-year-old girl.
“How dare you behave so contemptuously toward Mr. Hunt! How could you, Barney?” Remus immediately jumped to his defense.
“And what of it? Why don't you replace him?” Arius retorted impolitely.
What the h*ll?
If things are different, how will they pan out?
“Okay, let's not waste any more time with them. Let's leave.” Sophie had no interest in these people.
All she wanted was to return to Chanaea as soon as possible.
“Okay.”
Barney was relieved that his mother had already left. Initially, he had planned on handling this matter alone.
However, Sophie's competence was well beyond his expectations! She could handle Keegan all by herself.
Keegan had always been ruthless. His hands had long since been stained with blood to climb the ranks.
Nevertheless, Keegan was powerless before Sophie.
Is this the gap between them?
“Don't let them escape. If you let them leave today, you will never be able to apprehend them again.” Remus loathed Barney. If they were to let Barney leave that day, the Chanaean Medical Association would certainly surpass the International Medical Association. This was something he absolutely could not tolerate.
He aspired to be the best. Hence, to be the best, Barney could not be allowed to live.
Keegan narrowed his eyes. “Remus, what do you think you're doing? Do you intend on murdering me?” Keegan was a person that valued his life immensely.
There were still numerous goals he had yet to achieve. How could he perish at the hands of such a brat?
Remus pulled out a pistol and aimed it at Barney.
“Mr. Hunt, I have no other option. You are aware of the task that was assigned to us. Barney cannot be allowed to leave this place today.” Remus' eyes glimmered with a bloodthirsty glint.
Only with Barney dead could he preserve his position indefinitely. Barney was a formidable rival and would only get in the way.
No one could have matched what he had accomplished in the medical field.
Therefore, no matter what, Barney could not be allowed to leave.
Barney sneered.
It was indeed the real-life iteration of the Farmer and the Viper.
If it weren't for him, Remus could not have reached such great heights. Even worse, Remus would not have lived to see another day.
Furthemore, Remus was now pointing a gun at his skull.
“Remus, you have disappointed me. I never thought that you would turn on me like this.” Barney was disheartened.
