Chapter 382 - 389: Alliance
James Brown didn’t intend to kill John Smith, but for scum like him, letting him off without a proper beating wouldn’t satisfy his anger. That’s why he choked him halfway to death before finally letting go.
As soon as James released his grip, John Smith collapsed to the ground, gasping desperately for fresh air through his wide-open mouth. Never in his life had he realized just how important breathing was to him. At this moment, he suddenly felt how wonderful it was to be able to draw in fresh air.
The room was a suite, with a living area outside and a bedroom inside. At that moment, a sound came from the bedroom—it was the kind of sound a woman makes when overcome with passion, and it was coming from Jennifer Hog.
James didn’t need to look to know that Jennifer was definitely drugged by John Smith with a hallucinogen. His disdain for John only grew stronger. He delivered a merciless kick to him and said, "Alice, go check it out."
Alice Brown agreed immediately and rushed into the inner room. At this moment, whatever James said, she followed without question.
"Mr. Brown, big brother, please... don’t kill me!" John was finally able to breathe properly. Seeing James’s icy face, his fear grew deeper. Just moments ago, he had skirted death. In his eyes, James was nothing less than a murderous demon.
James lit a cigarette, his gaze coldly fixed on Robert Smith. "Give me a reason to let you live."
"I-I’ll give you money, lots of money! One million... no, five million! I’ll give you ten million! Please, I beg you to spare me!" John crawled forward a couple of steps. In his mind, money was everything, the ultimate solution. Offering ten million dollars, he thought James wouldn’t possibly refuse.
"Hah! Do you think I’m in need of money?"
John’s face instantly darkened. If James didn’t need money, then this would be much harder to solve. Panicking, he said, "Big brother, whatever you say, I’ll do it!"
"Is that so...?"
