His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 906

Wayne's heart pounded furiously, every word from Thaddeus shaking him to his core!

Ever since Avery had set foot in Helgen, Wayne had been nothing but a pawn under his command. Serving him all these years had left Wayne numb, forgetting the days when he stood tall and proud, his heart ablaze with righteousness and fervor!

With a sudden whoosh—

Another dagger, its blade gleaming menacingly, lunged towards Thaddeus from the side!

"Look out!"

Wayne's eyes widened, his heart threatening to burst from his chest!

Unexpectedly, Thaddeus, as if he had eyes on the side of his head, swiftly caught the assassin's wrist and with a sharp snap, broke it.

Disarming the attacker in one fluid motion, he then launched a high kick, sending the man crashing into the wall with a sickening thud.

The sound of breaking bones was terrifying, sending shivers down Wayne's spine.

From this single encounter, Wayne realized that Thaddeus, usually seen as a high and mighty CEO, living in the lap of luxury, was far more complex than he had imagined. A man of both brains and brawn, a true warrior in the boardroom and on the streets!

His understanding of Thaddeus was barely the tip of the iceberg.

Without someone powerful supporting him from behind, how could Avery ever hope to stand against such a force?

The dark alleyway turned into a bloody battleground!

Though it's said that one can hardly fight against overwhelming numbers, in front of Thaddeus, the stunning "Angel of Death," the crisis seemed to melt away.

One after another, attackers were laid out on the ground.

Back to back, they stood ready for what was to come.

Blood spattered across Thaddeus' cheeks, hands, and his once pristine shirt collar, he resembled a dashing mob boss, embodying a violent grace.

"Chief Wayne, I told you, partnering with Avery is a dead end. From the moment he approached you, he's been plotting behind your back, planning to dispose of you once you've outlived your usefulness."

"You don't know... You can't understand my reasons!" Wayne clutched his wounded arm, cold sweat mixing with beads of perspiration streaming down his face.

"Joining us is your only way out!" Thaddeus' expression was stern, his tone both calm and sincere.

"A way out? Do I even have one?"

Wayne let out a bitter laugh, "I might escape today, but what about tomorrow?"

Thaddeus' gaze darkened, silent.

Even if they joined forces to take down Avery, what awaited Wayne was the stern judgment of the law.

The attackers regrouped, determined to corner them once and for all!

The leader, aiming to make a name for himself, took advantage of the chaos to target Wayne, weakened from his injuries, and raised his dagger, aiming straight for his head with a vicious gleam in his eyes!

"Ugh—!"

Unexpectedly, with just one hand, Wayne slammed the leader to the ground, then stepped hard on his chest, causing the man to cough up blood in agony!

A lion remains a lion, even when cornered!

Wayne's eyes blazed with a fierce red as he raised the dagger high, ready to strike at the man's vulnerable spot!

In that moment, he seemed even more a killer than the assassins themselves.

"Stop! Hold it!"

Thaddeus roared, rushing forward to grasp Wayne's knife-wielding hand, "We cannot kill. That's a line we do not cross!"

"What else are we supposed to do? Wait for them to kill us?!" Wayne's voice was hoarse with desperation.
