Nathan looked at Akin, who was going through all five stages of grief. Soon, he finally settled, looking devastated and hopeless.
He took out a cigarette from his pocket and smiled. "Looks like you're no longer the warlord of Africa. You have the United Nations after you now. They're going to send you to court for all you've done. Are you finally ready to surrender, or are you going to keep on charging blindly into battle?"
Everyone's gazes were fixed on Akin.
His entire headquarters was done for. The best title he now had was an exiled ruler, and the worst was as an international criminal.
Would he finally surrender, or would he continue with his crazed, merciless actions?
Akin looked at Nathan Cross with an indiscernible expression. His gaze was full of fear and regret but also hate, unwillingness and anger.
This peaceful-looking man had somehow managed to rip the throne away from right under Akin, turning him into a criminal.
The power and riches he once had were all gone.
He had killed so many people over the years, so many, that he had even become known as the warlord of Africa. If he actually went to court, he wouldn't be able to escape trial, nor the punishment that would come after.
He couldn't accept defeat like this.
He would kill Nathan, then hold the Lindberg family hostage to get a huge sum from the ransom. He would then have enough money to buy more weapons once he returned to Africa. Things weren't over yet!
He would die trying.
The fear and terror in his eyes disappeared only to be replaced by a glint of murderous intent and hatred.
He looked at Nathan with a sinister grin. "Good one. You managed to ruin my headquarters in Africa, I see. I'll kill you before I ever surrender! All, all of you, kill them! Kill them all!"
Ali and the other subordinates immediately placed a hand on the pistol hanging at their waists.
Suddenly, Nathan took out his lighter and lit the cigarette in his mouth.
The very moment he lit his cigarette, all the Lindberg mansion windows shattered as bullets rained through.
Everyone was shocked by the sight.
