The woman didn’t dare to refuse. She swallowed the pill right away, frowning as she did so because of the bitter taste.
“Your gut has been poisoned. Without the antidote, the poison will make your gut rot away, and you’ll die in seven days. As long as you do as I say, and once Michael is dead, I’ll get someone to send you the antidote…” Christopher Lancelot said.
The woman nodded furiously with a fearful look in her eyes…
Without saying anything else, Christopher uncuffed the woman. “Before you go, clean this place up…”
“Yes…” The woman said with a respectful nod.
After that, Christopher slowly stood up and opened the door as if nothing happened. He looked over at Xyla, who stood by the entrance.
Lazily, Christopher leaned against the door and watched her. He still seemed like a thug. “What a coincidence that I bumped into you here… You used to go out with a group of people… Why are you alone today? In fact, you nearly…” Xyla trailed off. Something bad nearly happened to him.
“I was just playing along. Do you believe me?” Christopher chuckled.
He felt suspicious about that woman long ago.
That was why when the woman took the initiative to seduce him and even asked him out to have fun, Christopher agreed without even thinking about it.
After that, he secretly gathered his men to wait outside the bar for an ambush.
He was planning to bait the woman’s boss out by himself, but he didn’t expect this woman to be doing this alone.
Christopher wasn’t sure if his enemy was too dumb or if that person had underestimated him.
When the woman tried to kill him earlier, Christopher wanted to find out everything and kill her right away.
After killing her, Christopher would use her phone to contact the person who instructed her to kill him. Christopher would let the person know that he was dead.
After that, Christopher would kill that person once his guard was down, ending things once and for all.
However, after bumping into Xyla Quest, his plan changed. He didn’t want to kill someone in front of her. He didn’t want to taint her eyes.
Hence, he changed his mind.
“I believe you,” Xyla said confidently.
Who was Christopher?
He was like a king in this environment. In his position, why would he put himself in danger?
