Chapter 1832 Fire
“Open your eyes and look clearly, Nathaniel! The man holding the gun went blind because he battled it
out for the Schmidt family’s territory. That day, you pointed a gun at me and stole the territory he got at
the risk of his life. Today, I’ll have him retrieve it in the same manner. As for whether you survive, we
shall leave that decision to God!”
Pausing slightly, Freja narrowed her eyes a fraction before she raised her voice and ordered, “Fire!”
Bang!
A gunshot pierced the air at about the same time her voice rang out.
I watched everything indifferently, not worried for Nathaniel for even a second.
The scene playing in my mind was that of John pinned on the ground, his hand broken mercilessly.
Well, it turns out that karma is real, and this is his retribution. No, this isn’t enough. He should also
experience all the pain he has ever put us through! He’s getting off far too lightly with just a bullet!
Alas, God just had to favor him. Thanks to the gun’s recoil and the blind man’s impaired sense of
direction, the bullet went wide.
Even in the face of death, Nathaniel remained proud and dignified. His bushy eyebrows creased
deeply, proving that he indeed braced himself for death at that very moment. From NôvelDrama.Org.
Harrumphing, Freja sneered, “Hmph! I didn’t expect you to be so lucky.”
She got to her feet and sauntered over to him. Her subordinates then loosened their hold on Nathaniel,
upon which the man straightened up from the ground.
As Nathaniel kneeled on the ground, infinite ruthlessness brewed in his ebony eyes. In a threatening
tone, he warned, “If you kill me, I can guarantee you that none of the Schmidt family will be able to live
past tonight!”
Hearing that, Freja wore an expression of mockery. “Oh? It looks like you’ve made arrangements
beforehand. Let me guess. You’re referring to my beloved mother and grandmother, yes? That’s just
perfect. I find them a hindrance in the first place, but there hasn’t been any valid reason to eliminate
them. I’ve got to thank you now instead.”
It seemed that the family who owned the top pharmaceutical company in K City wasn’t all that peaceful
internally.
This time, Nathaniel had made a mistake. Not only did he fail to blackmail Freja, but he actually did her
a favor.
“In that case, I’ll allow you to live for a while longer.” Freja abruptly changed her mind, gesturing to her
subordinate to bring me over.
The man keeping watch over me promptly picked me up from the chair and tossed me to the ground
across from Nathaniel. Then, he whipped out his gun and aimed it right at me.
Our gazes locked, and I shot him a vicious glare before averting my gaze stubbornly.
Freja stood between us and circled me with much interest. As she did so, she remarked, “Killing you
isn’t half as fun as having you watch the woman you love die right in front of your eyes. Is that not so?”
“Don’t you dare!” Nathaniel flew into such a rage that the three burly men behind him almost couldn’t
maintain their hold on him. As though having been provoked, Freja took the gun from her subordinate.
Crouching, she placed the barrel of the gun against my heart. “Remember this, Nathaniel. There is a
price to pay if you steal something that belongs to someone else.”
While speaking, she flicked the safety off. It was also at that instant that Nathaniel went off and broke
free from the few burly men in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, the roar of engines split the air around them, and it felt as though the ground had
even started shaking.
In the next second, a helicopter streaked over in the sky. Bullets sprayed the ground, instantly killing
Freja’s men.
Amidst the chaos, a few quick-witted men quickly moved forward and protected Freja as they beat a
hasty retreat.
While taking off, they attempted a counterattack on the helicopter with their guns. Unfortunately, they
lacked firepower, and that rendered them sitting ducks.
Driven to the side of the car, Freja’s men dragged her along as they made their escape. “Ms. Schmidt,
there are still plenty of opportunities in the future! The most important thing now is to stay alive!”
Meanwhile, Nathaniel had regained his freedom at long last. However, the burning of the gunshot
wound at his shoulder had him gritting his teeth with a hand propped against the ground for a while
before he finally struggled to his feet to head over and protect me.
Nevertheless, Freja wasn’t willing to let us off just like that. Before she got into the getaway car, she
snatched the rifle from her subordinate’s hands and shot Nathaniel in the left leg. The man’s knees
went weak, and he fell to the ground on his knees.
I cackled maniacally, not the least bit bothered about the bullets that were hitting increasingly nearer to
me. All I knew was that he had finally had a taste of Joseph’s injury.
