Once they heard this, each Haley and her father revealed completely different expressions.

Whereas they each had traces of confusion on their faces from listening to what he stated, additionally they had traces of different feelings.

Haley had a glance of disgust and disdain whereas her father had a hint of disappointment on his face.

However neither of them had time to say anything because the boss of the gang came visiting. He positioned his hand on the husband’s shoulder and stated, “Alex, cease taking part in round with them and get them to signal it already. We do not have a lot time to waste, somebody will attempt to come for them finally.”

The husband referred to as Alex had been having fun with his time torturing the 2 of them, however he knew that the boss was proper. So he stated, “Huge brother, I am going to get it instantly.”

Then turning again, he positioned the piece of paper in entrance of Haley’s father and stated, “Father in legislation, for those who simply signal this, I promise that we’ll launch you and your daughter instantly.”

Haley’s father had a sophisticated look on his face when he heard this.

Alex had been providing this to him the whole time, however after all he did not need to signal this factor.

In any case, this was a contract that might switch the shares of his firm to Alex.

He had deliberate on doing this finally when Alex and Haley got here again to assist him along with his firm. Then he would retire and go away the corporate to the 2 of them…

However Haley selected to run off and begin this firm on her personal, which had fully ruined that plan…

Nonetheless, this was the end result of his life’s laborious work, it wasn’t one thing that he might quit that simply. However on the opposite facet was…his treasured daughter.

Although he spoke in the way in which that he did to her, she was nonetheless his treasured daughter that he lovingly raised.

He knew that he had wronged her by forcing to marry Alex due to the debt that he owed to his father. He knew that he had wronged her by stopping her from pursuing her dream for the sake of the long run that he deliberate.

So now that she was in peril, he could not assist pondering of her.

Whereas he was agonizing over this, Alex turned to Haley and positioned one other piece of paper in entrance of her earlier than saying, “It is the identical for you. For those who signal this, then we’ll allow you to go instantly.”

Haley did not even want to have a look at it to know what it was.

It was a contract that was identical to the one which had been supplied to her father. If she signed this contract, the shop that she had labored laborious to construct on this metropolis can be given to Alex.

So naturally she did not even take a look at it.

In contrast to her father, she was prepared to die earlier than giving up that retailer because it wasn’t simply the end result of her laborious work. It was the end result of all of the laborious work of the workers that had been along with her the whole time.

She wasn’t prepared to let anybody contact that retailer, even when it meant demise.

Seeing the appears of their eyes, Alex knew that it was a misplaced trigger to attempt to persuade Haley. On the other facet although, it appeared prefer it was potential to persuade Haley’s father into signing the contract as a result of the look in his eyes was wavering.

So he figured that it was higher to start out with the daddy than to attempt to change Haley’s thoughts.

However earlier than he might say anything, the boss instantly stated, “Wait.”

All the tough wanting males stopped obvious on the two tied up and appeared on the boss with a confused look.

Alex turned and requested with the identical confused look, “Huge brother, what’s it?”

The boss knitted his brows and stated, “We have now a rat.”

The second that I heard this, I could not assist being bowled over.

I rapidly appeared round myself, however I wasn’t capable of finding something that indicated that we had been found. I could not assist feeling confused how we had been found, however I knew that there wasn’t time to waste right here.

I rapidly gave a sign to Shaka and mouthed, “We have been discovered.”

Shaka instantly understood what I meant and he was about to show round to go away, however there was a creaking sound that got here from beneath us.

Earlier than any of us might transfer an inch, the boards of the ceiling underneath us cracked aside and we began falling.

As we have been falling, I might see that certainly one of Shaka’s males was simply mendacity there with out shifting. Although this appeared very regular, there was a vibrant purple streak that was on that particular person’s neck.

It was the purple of blood.

It appeared that the Crow Gang’s boss additionally had an murderer that was watching over the place and so they had been the one to search out us. They have been so expert that that they had managed to kill certainly one of us earlier than we might even react.

Fortunately, we weren’t too excessive up, so we did not fall that far.

As for me, I had additionally began coaching my physique, however there was solely a lot that I might accomplish within the quick period of time that I had. So it wasn’t as if I had any main leads to just some weeks of coaching.

Fortunately for me, Shaka and Jessica each twisted their our bodies to assist defend a few of the impression for me.

The 2 of them have been properly skilled, so a small fall from this distance would not be sufficient to harm them.

After we landed, we fell proper beside the 2 who have been tied up, going through the group of tough wanting males in entrance of us.

Although certainly one of us did not land like the remaining…

This particular person fell to the bottom with a thud and there was a sprig of blood that scattered round.
