Fear throbbed inside Reid.
He had never experienced a moment where he felt so powerless in his life.
"W- what on earth is happening?" he screamed internally.
Right then, Lothar picked up the pistol on the ground.
Without hesitation, he pointed the pistol at Reid's forehead.
Seeing this, Reid was furious.
How could he take it seeing the servant he raised pointing a pistol at him?
Even if dissatisfaction filled his heart, he could not do anything in such a situation.
Because he had no strength at all.
On the other hand, Essie was stunned to see Lothar aiming at the man.
Although she knew all kinds of unusual poison, she had only seen a pistol on TV. From Lothar's bloodshot eyes, she felt like he was going to kill this man for real.
Immediately, she rushed over, stopping him, "Lothar, what do you think you're doing? Put the pistol down. You'll go to jail if you shoot him. It's illegal!"
However, he ignored her.
He looked at Reid fiercely and snarled, "Reid Perry, you beat me up and even threw me into the sea. I'm here to settle that with your life!"
At that moment, Reid was struggling to snatch the gun from him, but he could not even gather enough strength to raise his hand.
"What did you do to me?!" Reid glared at Lothar.
He knew that he wouldn't end up in such a feeble state without reason. Lothar must have done something to him.
"You don't have to know! Let me ask you, what did you do to Selina? Did you poison her?!" Lothar's voice was growing hoarse from his heightened state.
Reid asked, "If I said it wasn't me, would you even let me go?"
"In your dreams!" Lothar raged. "Reid Perry, I will never forgive you. I'll make you pay!"
Suddenly, Reid laughed.
His laugh was that of a mocking and lonely one.
He did not expect that after years of escaping from dangerous situations and even from the almighty Matthew, he would end up dying in the hands of such a small, insignificant character.
This was just a nobody who he despised.
But right then, he could see the murderous glare in Lothar's eyes.
He knew that he could not say anything to save his life.
Reid's eyes turned fierce.
Since persuading was not an option, he wanted to drag Lothar down with him. At least, he could make him suffer forever.
Staring straight at Lothar, he provoked him. "That's right. I did that to Selina, and it's all thanks to your help. Remember? You were the one who helped me ask her out and prepared the dog for her. It was through this I got to implant the poison into her body!"
Lothar paled immediately.
"Nonsense!" Lothar roared.
"I'm not making this up." Reid said, "Lothar, you're the one who did this to her. If it weren't for you, there would not be poison in her body. It's you all along!"
After that, Reid burst out laughing.
Lothar was fuming as his body heated up.
He was furious and he was on the verge of
exploding.
Startled, Essie quickly grabbed hold of him, saying, "Lothar, don't listen to his nonsense. Let's go."
She was afraid that Lothar would do something that she could not stop.
Being pulled, Lothar stood up.
Just as she had just breathed a sigh of relief, she froze.
She heard a loud gunshot.
Bang!
It was bright and clear, and she felt it clearly.
