Chapter 1201

When she saw Ryan’s ominous gaze, Lana realized that Ryan was not joking with her.

She was worried and uneasy when she looked at the man who appeared to be such a gentleman but gave off an aura of darkness and horror.

“Ryan, w-why do you want to kill me? I didn’t do anything to you. You—”

“An idiot like you doesn’t deserve to live in this world,” Ryan said coldly.

“…”

“Lana, remember what I asked you the other day? I asked you if you knew why you got to come back to Glendale alive. Well, I’ll tell you now. It was because of me.”

“W-What?” Shocked, Lana looked at the man who was speaking slowly. “It was you? How could it be you? You and Jeremy teamed up to catch me just to let me go again? Heh! Do you really think I would believe in such an absurd thing?!”

Lana was full of doubts. She did not believe that such a thing would happen. When she remembered that Ryan was a part of Interpol, she suddenly was not afraid anymore. Instead, she raised her hand and pushed the gun that Ryan was pointing at her forehead away. Her red lips were curved into a smile.

“Ryan, you don’t have to do this act to scare me anymore. I know you won’t kill me.” Lana looked confident. “You’re part of Interpol, a senior commander. You’re supposed to put the interest and safety of the people first in whatever you do. How can you kill—”

Psst.

The bullet passed through the muffler and made a slight sound upon penetrating Lana’s calf.

“Ah!” Lana felt a sharp pain and slumped to the ground. She looked back at the man who was shrouded in darkness in disbelief. “R-Ryan! You—”

“I really hate egoistic women like you.”

“…”

Ryan stepped forward and walked condescendingly to Lana. The color on her face had faded away.

He then spat out inhumane words indifferently. “If I didn’t think you’d be of use to me, you would have died with Yorick long ago.”

“…” Lana was pale as she grabbed onto her wound that was flowing with blood. She looked at the man with the gun pointed at her. She was trembling and in fear. “How dare you shoot me, Ryan?! Let me tell you, if you hurt me, it’s not just me you’re hurting. The Stygian Johnson Gang isn’t dissolved yet. The person behind my brother will never let you get away with this!”

“Uh-huh.” Ryan smiled when he heard what she said.

With that chilling smile, Lana looked a little horrified. “What are you smiling about? Listen, if anything happens to me, you’ll be as good as dead! The guy will never let the Interpol get any peace!”

“Heh.” After listening to what Lana had to say, Ryan’s smile grew. “Since you’re going to hell soon, Lana, I’ll tell you who the man behind Yorick is.”

‘What?’

Lana’s eyes widened as she looked at Ryan’s confident expression.

Ryan said with no hurry, “That person is me.”

“…”

Lana’s eyes widened in shock. Her mouth twitched, and she could not believe what Ryan was saying at the moment.

While she was still in shock, Ryan shot her in her shoulder.

“Ah!” Lana shivered in pain as her facial features contorted.

Blood continued to drip from her wound as she lay in a pool of it. She was totally out of it.

“H-How could it be you…” Lana could not accept the fact. “It’s impossible. It’s impossible…”

Ryan looked at Lana who was struggling with pain, the smile on his lips growing wider. “Since things are this way now, I don’t see why I shouldn’t let you know before you die.”

“…”

“Yorick was just a pawn. If it weren’t for my relationship with Interpol, do you think that the transactions that Yorick made would go so smoothly?”

When Lana heard what he said, it seemed to make more sense to her.

It turned out things were this way!

That was why Yorick always listened to the man behind him.

Lana never thought that Ryan was the person!
