Gerald gave a look, then those people walked around the cabin boldly and fiercely. The cowards were already holding their heads in panic and trembling, âDonât kill me, donât kill me. Iâll give you all the money you want.â
The air police and stewardess who heard the news had been knocked to the ground too. The air was filled with strong smell of blood. There were women had cried out of fear.
Gerald didnât even frown. The evil smile at the corner of his mouth became more obvious, âPresident Hoyle, you usually always keep bodyguards around your wife and daughter. But today, you, the guardian God, doesnât pass the battle in person. Who donât you ask your bodyguards to show up? Itâs really boring to let me play a one-man show. Donât tell me that youâre alone today, I donât believe it.â
Alan smiled, avoiding the blade and resting his hands behind his head, âAlone? Then thatâs unfair to Mr. Wood who has prepared so much, right? Then some of you come out to practice with Mr. Woodâs companions. Donât hurt the innocents.â
Among the passengers, three strong men immediately jumped out with their bare hands to fight with the fiends.
The narrow passage didnât restrict those fiendsâ movements. With weapons in their hands, they became more unrestrained. Alanâs underlings went against one enemy had to protect the passengers from the knife to not get injured and also prevent the enemies who were buried from the passengers from attacking from the back at any time. It wasnât a relaxed fight.
Alan didnât feel anxious at all with the knife on his neck. He was still joking, âMr. Wood, do you think your people who are trained in the assassin world are better or mine who had ever been a special soldiers?â
Gerald also laughed, âWhat does President Hoyle want to say is unfair to have seven against three, right? But your aggressive strategy really doesnât work today. I just persistently like to win through numerical superiority. Who knew how many people youâve hidden on this plane, President Hoyle?
Youâre really a person who is good at hiding your strength, so thatâs why in the past few years, Finn Meyer could step into the trap you set step by step. He was too underestimated you, but I wonât. Youâre the most patient man Iâve ever seen.â
âThanks for the compliment. But I think, you may not be able to get the reward,â Alan chuckled.
âThey said loser wonât lose their manner. I really admire of President Hoyleâs calmness, but you seem to have fallen behind,â Gerald reminded him.
Alan dismissively said, âSo what? I just donât know whether Mr. Woodâs knife is faster or my friendâs bullet?â
Gerald turned his head abruptly. He didnât know when there was another person behind him and he had silently pointed the gun barrel at Geraldâs head, feeling a little surprised.
If this person had attacked him just now, he might not be able to avoid it. However, the experience which had accumulated over many years of his assassin career made him calm down quickly. After deeply staring at the manâs face, he turned his head back and smiled meaningfully at Alan Hoyle.
If he remembered correctly, this person was just Alanâs ordinary secretary, a weak scholar. But he didnât expect that the aura that radiated at this moment was also strong, not gentle as usual.
You really couldnât judge a book by its cover.
âThere are a lot of capable people around you and all of them are hidden.â
âThank you,â Alan said lightly.
âI just donât know if President Hoyle knows that your wife and daughter are in our hands now, would you be this calm? I heard that President Hoyle is a serious wife and daughter control.â
Alan chuckled, âPerhaps itâs your people who are in my hands. Not sure.â
âPresident Hoyle isnât only a person who is very good at hiding his strength, but also is very good at bluffing. Do you think Iâll be fooled? I forgot to tell you that the woman you hid in the bathroom couldnât even protect herself, let alone the two mother and daughter.â Gerald smiled unconsciously and successfully saw the manâs expression in front of him shift.
He had made a strict deployment of everything. Every possibility, he had calculated step by step before he acted. It was impossible for his men to lose control.
âHow is it? President Hoyle, isnât this news shocking?â Gerald smiled darkly, revealing a cruel and bloodlust nature. âI heard that five or six years ago, your woman was lucky to escape from a group of trash. I donât know if she still has the luck this time to escape from my men and save her innocence for you.â
Alanâs eyes were burning, âYou dare to?!â
âTsk, tsk. Isnât President Hoyle always unafraid? Itâs really rare to see this emotional moment. But do I dare or not is up to me,â Gerald deliberately sighed and the conversation suddenly changed. âBut itâs better to let your man take away the gun thatâs resting on my head now. I like to threaten others, but I donât like others to threaten me. If Iâm in a bad mood, my men will lose control. Maybe theyâll accidentally throw your two darlings out of the window.â
âGerald Wood, do you think you and your companions can do it so easily?â the male secretary snorted coldly. His eyes communicated silently with Alan. The gun barrel was one step closer to Geraldâs head.
Gerald wasnât afraid and laughed loudly. After that, he said in a very contemptuous tone, âCertainly, you can order your man to shoot me down. But if Iâm dead, I donât guarantee there wonât be a plane crash. I think President Hoyle should understand people like us who lick blood on the edge of the knife. Weâre all daredevils, can do everything when weâre determined. Life and death are just two words without much meaning. Weâre all careless people, but for President Hoyle, itâs different. You have a beautiful wife and daughter, and an old mother to pay last respect. If you die now, would there be too many regrets in life?â
âMr. Wood, isnât it too early to conclude? Since youâre so confident, then I might as well say some cruel words here too. If my wife and daughter even lose a hair today, Iâll let you people die where thereâs no burial place.â Alan couldnât allow others to humiliate and bully his darlings.
âIâm so scared,â Gerald said weirdly. âCould President Hoyle think that this plane can land on time to Jiangchengâs airport?â
âThat said, the people in the pilot are also controlled by you. Quite a swift move.â Alan raised his eyebrows slightly without any horror. He just glanced lightly, the meaning in his eyes was unknown.
His mental was really extraordinary. Gerald coldly said, âThank you. I just prepare for a rainy day.â
Alan smiled, âYou might as well just say that Finn Meyer doesnât want me to appear at tomorrowâs general shareholders meeting. Letâs just be honest. I heard that every time you take a task, youâll set the price according to your own preferences. Although you rank third in the assassin world, the price you put is the highest. I donât know how much money Finn Meyer promised you this time.â
âWhat do you need to know for? Although I canât kill you now, Iâll send you to the underworld sooner or later. I canât break my rules on you.â This was Gerald Woodâs principleâa record of never returning empty-handed.
âIâm just worried about you. Killing me wonât necessarily get what you want from Finn Meyer, because now heâs already a person on the verge of bankruptcy and supported by outsiders. Heâs just an empty shell with nothing. Finn Meyer has always looked like a gentleman in front of others. If he isnât desperate, how can he take risks? Donât think that heâs avenging his daughter. This is just to satisfy his selfish desire. He was afraid that the bad things he heartlessly did back then will be exposed to others.
You and your companions are fighting hard here, but donât get hurt or even killed, or you wonât even get a penny.â
âBreaking a promise? Iâm really not afraid, because if anyone dares to break promise with me, Iâll dare to end their life. This is also my rule.â
For Gerald Wood to accept a job, it was a cooperation without deposit. He did the work first, then took the money later. If he didnât succeed, he wouldnât take the money. This was where his courage lied. So far, no employer had dared not to pay after the job was done.
Unless this person had become really tired of living to dare to break a promise with a top killer.
âOkay. Since Iâve kindly advised you, but you wonât listen, how about letâs make a bet?â Alan took pity.
âWhat bet?â
Alan wasnât in a hurry to answer him. He raised his head and said to his secretary, âNate, put the gun away. Itâs not good if it misses.â
The one named Nate was obviously unwilling, âPresident Hoyleâ¦â
Alan interrupted him, âSince Mr. Wood canât take my life for the time being, the knife and gun have been held for a long time, arenât your arms sore?â
Gerald snorted coldly and moved away the blade.
Nate reluctantly put the gun away from Geraldâs head after he received Alanâs pressuring stare. But he still held it in his hand, always staying on alert to trouble.
The fighting in the cabin became fiercer and the screams were heard from time to time. Although Alanâs three men didnât have the upper hand, they didnât let the gangster get the advantage. They all had wounds on their bodies. The only depressing thing was the limited space which prevented them from teaching these scumbags lesson.
âTalk. What kind of bet?â Gerald Wood was least afraid of betting, because he would win every bet.
This time was certainly no exception.
Alan twisted his neck a little, âIf you and your people can park this plane outside Jiangcheng, Iâll unconditionally cooperate with your employer and remove all the rest confrontation. But if Mr. Wood fails, you have to do something for me.â
âWhat is it?â Gerald asked.
Alan said, âI havenât thought about it, but itâll definitely not be a cruel thing. As for the reward, Iâll double how much Finn Meyer will give you.â
âIf I lose, Iâll listen to you for anything and not charge you a penny.â A joke. Would Gerald Wood be afraid of losing? He was afraid that Alan Hoyle couldnât win.
