Chapter 852: All of them are dead
"It appears that Ram took Dragon’s side and is now an enemy of ours. We need to find a way to approach Dragon now that that old fella is on his side. We all know how tricky it is to deal with him."
The room fell silent at Moose’s words, each person wearing a solemn expression. Ram’s attack was a clear declaration of enmity, complicating matters further. Knowing Ram and then Dragon, things just became more complicated than they already were.
"But why would he target Dom?" the first person to break the silence was Bear, scanning everyone’s faces. "Attacking Dom seems unjustified. No One might make sense; that guy’s existence is revolting. But Dom? His candidacy or connection isn’t enough reason for Ram or Dragon to attack him."
"That’s right." Moose nodded in agreement, sinking comfortably in his chair. Crossing his arms under his chest and resting his leg over the other, he hummed a long tune. "It’s puzzling that they attacked Dominic out of nowhere. I can’t say he’s a magnet for trouble since the enemy we’re talking about isn’t as nonsense as No One."
The room quietened, a collective question mark hanging in the air.
"Unless their target is someone else." After a moment, Dominic spoke his thoughts aloud. "Someone... around me."
"Do you think they’re originally targeting Bear?" Moose arched a brow, but this time, Heaven spoke her mind.
"If Ram sent people to kill Bernard, he won’t simply send a few people," she remarked, eyes scanning everyone around. "We all know Ram. If he wants to kill Bear, he will come himself to do the job. After all, sending anyone else guarantees a failure."
"I agree with her. Unless he truly doesn’t want to kill me." Bear nodded.
But then Moose argued, "Or he’s diverting Bear’s attention."
"That makes no sense," Dominic commented. "If he wants to divert Bear’s attention, everyone should be part of his ploy."
