Chapter 271: Chapter 271: A Shocking Turnaround (Fifth Update)
Before he had finished speaking, Griffin raised his gun and shot Williams in the leg.
Williams fell to the ground with a thud, his face first showing disbelief, then he started to cry out in pain.
“Bastard… Ahhh, why did you shoot me?”
Griffin blew on the muzzle of his gun and said coolly, “Sir, it seems you’ve misunderstood something, we’re not after your money! However, I can give you a choice, if you’re willing to give your life, then this beautiful lady can survive!”
“Of course, you can also let me kill her, and I’ll spare you! What do you say?” Griffin aimed his gun at Fan Mengxue.
Far away, crouched on the ground, Mr. Dragon God said with a grave expression, “No matter what he chooses, he will die!”
Indeed!
After hearing this, Williams didn’t hesitate at all and pointed at Fan Mengxue, “Kill her! And I can give you a lot of money, just please spare my life!”
Williams’s words drew a low murmur of disapproval.
Many people felt chilled by his actions.
But Williams didn’t care at all.
In his view, a beauty was surely delightful, but only if one was alive to enjoy it.
If he was about to die, what was the use of talking about a beauty?
Griffin smiled grimly, “Good!”
Then he raised his hand, and a shot hit Williams’s head.
Joy was still painted on Williams’s face; he had thought he was going to survive.
Since coming in, Griffin had killed two people, and his strange actions made many people feel a chill in their hearts.
Then Griffin smiled faintly, “Let me introduce myself, I’m Griffin!”
Bang!
Many faces showed shock and despair.
Even Mr. Dragon, a tough man, now had a look of dejection.
“God, it’s him! We’re probably all going to die now!”
Xue An said calmly, “Why do you say that?”
“You don’t know, this Griffin is a dark tycoon from the City of Sin, known as the Bone Picker, extremely ruthless and merciless, I didn’t expect him to show up here!” Mr. Dragon said, distraught.
Then he gritted his teeth and whispered to Xue An, “If he goes on a killing spree later, I’ll take the lead. You take your wife and kids and run out first, after all, the two kids are innocent!”
Xue An glanced at Mr. Dragon with a serious face and suddenly smiled, “Why does this feel like we’re in a movie?”
Mr. Dragon managed a bitter smile, “Even movies aren’t shot like this, sigh! What could such a dark tycoon, coming here, possibly want to do?”
At that moment, Griffin approached Fan Mengxue, gently sliding his gun across her face, his eyes full of mischief.
Anger flashed in the Night Devil Empress’s eyes. This guy, he was deliberately taking advantage of the situation!
But her face showed only terror, and she said with a trembling voice, “You… what are you going to do?”
Griffin chuckled darkly, “What am I going to do? Can’t you guess?”
Many people’s faces showed grim resignation.
The Night Devil Empress stole glances at Xue An in the distance; seeing him squatting on the ground, motionless, she couldn’t help but grind her teeth in frustration.
This guy, how could he keep so calm?
That wasn’t like him at all!
Suddenly, Griffin broke into a savage laugh, pressing the gun against Fan Mengxue’s head.
“Such a pretty face, it would be a pity to blow it away with a shot!”
No one dared to speak.
Mr. Dragon’s face showed a look of humiliation.
Fan Mengxue was a Chinese actress, now being humiliated by someone, and as a Chinese actor himself, he naturally felt rage and unwillingness.
“Please don’t! I beg you, let me go!” the Night Devil Empress pleaded, desperately suppressing her anger.
“Let you go? Okay! But the condition is, someone must be willing to die for you!” Griffin said indifferently.
A dead silence filled the room.
With the body still lying there, who would dare to go up and seek death?
Mr. Dragon took a deep breath, deciding he could no longer tolerate this.
Although he was very clear that charging forward at this moment meant a certain death.
But men from Hua never just stood by and watched their fellow women get humiliated.
Even in the face of death, he was determined to try!
But just as he was about to rise,
someone patted his shoulder gently, “Let me do it!”
Mr. Long was startled, then watched, agape, as Xue An stood up and walked forward.
“You…,” Mr. Long exclaimed in horror.
He wanted to say, “You have a wife and kids!”
At this moment, An Yan said softly, “Mr. Long, don’t worry, my husband can handle this!”
Mr. Long gave a bitter smile, yet he didn’t believe her at all.
After all, the opponent was a notorious dark lord with so many minions! How could he possibly come out unscathed all alone?
If it doesn’t work out, I’ll have to step up too! Mr. Long gritted his teeth in secret.
And at this moment, everyone’s gaze was focused on Xue An.
Griffin looked amused.
In his view, Xue An’s presence was mediocre, not appearing like much of a powerhouse.
Could all those incredible feats in the rumors really be achieved by such a man?
The Night Devil Empress’s face lit up with joy.
You finally took the bait!
Now Xue An had approached Griffin, smiling faintly.
“Nice shooting!”
Griffin was slightly taken aback, then smiled elegantly, “Thank you for the compliment!”
Xue An shook his head, “But the person is very foolish!”
Boom!
Everyone was shocked.
Mr. Long included, many thought Xue An must have gone mad.
To dare to provoke at a time like this?
Griffin’s face grew darker, “Oh? You say that, do you think I won’t dare to kill her?”
With that, he aimed the gun at Fan Mengxue’s forehead.
Fan Mengxue’s eyes brimmed with tears as she looked at Xue An.
Xue An said indifferently, “Go ahead and pull the trigger now.”
Mr. Long was completely baffled.
What the hell is this guy trying to do?
Griffin, burning with anger, aimed the gun at Xue An.
“You want me to shoot? Do you believe I’ll kill you first right now?”
As he spoke, the dark disciples raised their weapons, all aiming at Xue An.
Faced with such a lineup, Xue An turned to look at the Night Devil Empress and said with an indifferent tone.
“You disguise yourself well! But the moment I saw you, I knew you weren’t her!”
This statement caused the Night Devil Empress to panic internally, but her face remained unchanged, “An… what are you talking about? I don’t understand!”
Xue An laughed, his smile filled with murderous intent.
“For one… she never calls me An!”
The Night Devil Empress was internally shocked, barely managing a smile: “I really don’t understand what you’re saying, I really am Meng Xue…”
Xue An took a step forward, saying coldly: “The Body-Snatching Technique, did you really think I wouldn’t see through it?”
This shocking twist dumbfounded everyone.
The Night Devil Empress’s eyes flickered with panic, then she gradually calmed down, her lips curling into a cold smile.
“Indeed, I can’t hide it from you, but do you think, facing such a hopeless situation, even if you know… what can you do about it?”
