Chapter 814: Rank A mission II
THUD!
The sound of Theodore’s body hitting the ground echoed. Deborah and Hunter stared at the fat man standing not far away from their cage. Fig was still upside down from their perspective, holding a silencer gun to his left that was still pointing to where Theodore originally stood.
Smoke from the end of the muzzle ascended from it, proof that he was the one who ended Theodore and his ambition to become a don. Everything happened so fast that even though Deborah and Hunter had never looked away from Fig, they still barely grasped what happened.
What they only knew was that while Fig was confirming Deborah’s identity, he suddenly took out a gun from his suit. Without looking at Theodore, Fig opened fire, followed by Theodore’s death.
Turning his head, Hunter held his breath. His eyes caught the hole between Theodore’s brows, indicating this intruder’s excellent marksmanship.
"Who... are you?" Deborah’s voice shook, baffled at this person’s identity. "Did someone send you to kill me?"
"I just told you." Fig frowned. "Someone wants you alive, and thus, I am here to make sure you’ll live."
"Who?" Deborah blurted out, rummaging through her memories to have an idea of who wanted to help her. But alas, she couldn’t think of anyone. At least she couldn’t think of someone bold and capable enough to go against Dragon.
"You’ll find out." Fig breathed out as he looked around the torture room. He caught the fresh lifeless body in the corner but didn’t even bat an eye. "Those cages are strong, so I’ll probably have to wait for someone to bring me some keys."
"You’re going to wait?" Hunter blurted out, making Fig tilt his head to the side.
"I am not superhuman to break that metal cage with my bare hands," Fig replied calmly. "I know someone who can, but the old man isn’t here to help me. I was only asked to do this task as an assist, but the more I think about it, the more I realize I’m being exploited."
