Chapter 427: Two Choices
Young Master Feather froze, his body stiffening. Slowly, he turned around and said,
"Brother, I didn't attack you just now. Do you really want to kill me too?"
From the way John Lopez had killed Gavin Wenson—so cleanly, so effortlessly—Young Master Feather had already realized one harsh truth: he was no match for this man. Not even close. And with that terrifying speed, escape would be nearly impossible.
There was only one option left.
Reason.
Yes, reason and civility.
John Lopez shook his head. His expression was calm, but his eyes were deadly cold.
"You're right—you didn't lay a hand on me," he said. "But the idea came from you. And worse, you made one fatal mistake—you dared to set your sights on my sister."
Of course, John Lopez understood how things truly were. Had Young Master Feather not seen his overwhelming strength, would he be trying to talk things through now? Not a chance.
"The moment you knew you couldn't win, you decided to negotiate. What kind of world do you think this is—where you plot and scheme, and walk away scot-free just because the tables turn?"
What enraged John Lopez most was Young Master Feather's intentions toward Tracy Linch. Gavin Wenson had been explicit: they wanted both the treasure and the beauty.
