With that, he started counting down slowly.
“One...two...”
Nathan grinned even more broadly. “Three!”
Leaser hadn't even finished counting to three.
He didn't expect Nathan to call out the number on his behalf.
His eyes widened in disbelief as he gazed at Nathan.
As soon as Nathan spoke, Colin, who was right beside him, had moved towards Ceaser like a bolt of lightning.
He pulled out his gun, pointed it straight at Ceaser, and fired it right away.
He had done that in one breath.
Bang!
The sound of a gunshot rang through the room. A blinding pain shot through Ceaser's hand, which was holding his gun. A bullet had gone right through his palm, and it was bleeding horribly.
“Ahh!”
Leaser couldn't help but scream in pain. He loosened his grip on the gun, which clattered noisily onto the ground.
Everyone in the room looked completely shocked. How could Nathan's subordinate have moved so quickly? He had managed to injure Mr. Goldstein before he even had the chance to react.
An excited murmur ran through Corey's friends and subordinates.
Meanwhile, Ceaser's gang looked rather stunned. Realizing that the tables had turned on them, they started to feel a little frightened.
Leaser grabbed his hand, trying to staunch the never-ending flow of blood.
His face was completely white. There was fear and anger in his eyes as he gazed at Nathan.
Glaring at Nathan with rage, Leaser gritted his teeth and said, “You're quite something, aren't
Nathan merely smiled in return. “I warned you just now that we're professionals, and that you're just a novice. Unfortunately, you refused to listen.”
“Kid, I don't want to waste my breath on you anymore. Hurry home to your parents and go whine to them.”
Hearing this, a few people in the room burst into laughter.
Leaser s face was white with rage.
He nodded and said with conviction, “Nathan, I'll remember how you put a bullet through my hand tonight. I'll be sure to return your favor in the future.”
With that, he turned around and ordered his friends and subordinates to leave with him.
