Chapter 1579 Hard Nut To Crack
“Mr. Davin, you’re flattering me, but I don’t think impeccable is the right description. I have always been dutiful and conscientious in the execution of my duties!”
“Tch! Riley, remember this—you can never conceal the truth. Steven will not be kept in the dark forever. Soon, he will find out the whole story. When that happens, you will die a terrible death! Oh yeah, you’d better stay in this room quietly. If you step out of here, and any member of the Seet family spots you, you will still meet your doom!”
At the sight of Davin fuming, Riley snorted and walked toward him. Bending over, he whispered to his ears, “I don’t know if I will die a horrible death, but I do know that Steven is getting ready to make his move tonight. All of the Seets will die tonight, and so will Steven! Davin, it’s too late for you now. You will join them as well. Before you die, I still want to cut off that tongue of yours so that even if you go to the underworld, you won’t be able to expose me!”
What?
Davin’s chest tightened in an instant, but that fear did not arise because of Riley’s threat. Instead, it was because Riley mentioned that Steven planned to attack the Seet family that night.
If Steven makes his move tonight, won’t those at Imperial Garden and the rest of our family be in grave danger? Are Kyle and Juan on their guards? Does Evan know about it? Will all of them be able to escape unscathed?
A wicked grin appeared on Riley’s face when he glimpsed Davin’s panicked expression.
“Davin Seet, you brought this upon yourself!”
With that, he took a couple of steps back and ordered, “Guys, get ready to pull out his tongue!”
“Mr. Davin!”
Saul and the other bodyguards immediately stood in front of Davin to protect him.
“Oh? Are you guys planning to start a fight? This is the Maupay family’s territory. It won’t do you any good if you attack us!” Riley jeered.
“Try us! Even if we are going to die, we will drag you down with us!” exclaimed Saul as he shot daggers at him.
“That’s right. You will have to kill us first before you can hurt Mr. Davin!”
Davin remained quiet, but inwardly, he was moved by the bodyguards’ willingness to sacrifice their lives in order to defend him at such a juncture.
Riley began to worry that he might not be able to get his revenge as quickly as he would like.
However, thinking that Steven might issue an order at any second, he realized time was of the essence. Hence, he had to cut Davin’s tongue off at once.
A devilish grin showed up on Riley’s face seconds later as if he had a lightbulb moment. Then, he turned around and shot a meaningful look at the bodyguards behind him.
“Come with me.”
“Yes.”
As Riley and his bodyguards left the room one by one, Davin and his men were dumbfounded.
“Why are they leaving?”
“Maybe they don’t want to fight with us anymore?”
Saul shook his head. “Before Riley left, I saw that evil smile on his face. He must be up to something.”
“What do you think he’s up to?”
Just as they were discussing, the door was locked. Next, smoke started permeating into the room through the window.
One of the bodyguards caught a whiff of it and recognized it as some kind of sleeping drug.
He instantly shouted, “Cover your nose and mouth. He wants to render us unconscious!”
At once, everyone exchanged glances and covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves.
Once Saul got himself covered, he walked to the window in an attempt to stop the smoke from getting in. However, probably because he was too close to the source, he suddenly felt his head spinning. Before he could even put his arm down, he passed out.
“Mr. Davin, what should we do? Do you think they will cut out your tongue while you are unconscious?”
Appalled to hear that, Davin began to panic.
Riley is indeed a vicious person. Once I am unconscious, he will be able to cut off my tongue. It will certainly save him a lot of time and effort since I won’t be able to put up a fight.
