Kieran looked at the driver and frowned. He’s not even moving. A pouty Edward said, “I
was about to open with that, but Mr. Sawyer already started beating the guy up.”
Kieran told the bodyguards, “Eh, whatever. Hey, splash some cold water on him.” Nicholas
made his move. He knew the driver was pretending to be unconscious, so he slammed his
foot onto his chest. Like a beast, he growled, “Who sent you? Tell me the truth, or I’ll show
you hell.”
“Ahh!” The driver held Nicholas’ legs, moaning in pain. He was also shivering from agony
and fear. Nicholas stepped on the driver’s chest harder,
the air around him heavy with murder. “Still going to keep a secret?” The driver would’ve

Ah, no way he’s gonna get any information like that. Kieran stepped forth. “Why don’t you
let me try?” At this rate, he’s going to kill the guy.
Nicholas gave him a silent look and moved back. Kieran hunkered down, staring at the
driver coolly. He was already half-dead, but. Kieran still showed no sympathy. He held the
driver up by his hair and sneered, “Still trying to play dead? Fine. Let’s see if you’ll talk if I
do this.” A dagger appeared in Kieran’s hand seemingly out of nowhere. He brushed it
against the driver’s skin while hissing like a snake, “I wonder if you’d like it if I… Oh, I
don’t know, stab this into your leg and scrape your flesh away?”
The dagger glinted coldly under the light. The driver shivered in terror, and finally, under
the threat of torture, he confessed. “I’ll talk. I’ll talk.” With a shivering voice, he said, “I
took this job because I needed the money to pay off my debts. The collectors have been
harassing my family.”
“I’m not interested in your backstory. Just tell me who sent you.” Kieran yanked the
driver’s hair and waved his dagger in the air. “Keep going around in circles, and your leg
gets a taste of steel.”
The gleam from the dagger almost blinded the driver, and terror seized his heart. “I-It’s a
woman. Muller… Wanda Muller!” he shouted in fear, shivering as if he was placed in the
Arctic without any clothes on. “She sent me. She wanted the woman and her child dead.”
Kieran froze while the driver continued to stammer. “I-I didn’t drive too fast. I didn’t

case. “Please, have mercy. I-I never meant to kill them. I’ll surrender myself and face the
law.”
“Mercy? You showed none to my brother’s wife, and their child is forced to live in an
incubator because of you!” Kieran hissed through his teeth and yanked the driver by his
hair once more.
Nicholas’ face was as black as thunder Wanda… The air around him was filled with a sense
of murder. “She will pay dearly for this,” he too hissed like a snake, and the veins on his
neck popped.
Kieran, Edward, and everyone else felt a shudder down their spine, and the driver almost
fell unconscious from the terror. For a moment there, he thought he would die here. He
finally repented and said while sobbing, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done it. I shouldn’t
have agreed to the deal no matter how much I was paid. Please, give me a chance to turn
a new leaf.”
