Chapter 522
Chapter 522
LG was not only one person telling me that Shawn and the others had been cruel and shady back then. Still, Shawn admitted they had ganged up against Ezekiel. Nevertheless, it was irrelevant!
Like the principle of might making right, even Ezekiel conceded that there would always be a new replacing the old. Moreover, he claimed that he was not afraid of losing. Somehow, he did not care that he had lost, but he wanted vengeance. His primary motivation was to give Shawn and the others a taste of their own medicine.
In the end, I could not help but defend Shawn. "LG, there is no way that anyone who could work their way up to that position could have clean hands, including Ezekiel back then. He had even admitted defeat, so why are you protesting on his behalf? Anyway, you like Shawn, so why are you defending Ezekiel? Do you love him?"
Her face twisted as though I had touched on a sore spot. "Shut up!" she snapped. "You do not deserve them."
Is it possible that she still has feelings for him? Nah! No way.
The sudden increase in wind speed in Bryxton caused me to shiver uncontrollably from the cold. Then, LG spontaneously stood up and walked over to us. "Alfred should be here soon, shouldn't he?" she asked while looking at May.
She was shocked and exclaimed, "You contacted him?"
"Yes. I have to complete my mission from Mike." Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
"Go wait by the side of the building," LG instructed us.
"What do you mean?" May inquired with a frown.
"Jump when the time is right. Don't worry. We're not that high up, only about ten feet or so. If your man can catch you, I'll let you go."
The entire time, LG had been communicating in Welian. Nonetheless, I am relieved that May and I were both proficient in that language.
Sir was still gravely injured, and everyone was aware of it. Nevertheless, he was not the only one, as all of my Bryxton friends were wounded. However, Shawn was only marginally better off than the rest.
If May jumps, she could die if Sir doesn't catch her, and if he does catch her, his life will be at stake. A jump from that height into his arms would have had such a massive impact that he would not have been able to withstand it while already severely injured. She is instructing us to make a decision between the two. No! She is telling Sir to pick one, but May and I do not have a choice.
May was aware of her scheme, so she refused to move, and LG swiftly kicked her out of frustration. "Hurry up." Her tone was similar to that of a dog trainer.
I was shocked, and May went completely pale.
So, I tugged May over to the side of the building. The wind was blowing so hard that we were swaying
in place. Then, I discreetly scanned the ground below. It was covered in rocks and trash. If we fell, we would either be dead or crippled. I dared not even imagine what would happen.
A few minutes later, someone arrived, and it was Sir. Dressed in a black coat, he looked up at us. The moment he spotted May's arm, his eyes went cold. "Do you think we're too afraid to kill you, LG?"
"Come kill me then, Alfred," she replied in the Welian language. After a pause, she declared, "The people I bite will die. That is why you don't dare lay a hand on me. You know what the consequences are for killing me!"
Shawn did say that LG was a stealth killer. She was someone who clung to grudges. In addition, she would spend years hiding in the shadows for the slightest opportunity to deliver a deadly blow.
"I did not hurt you before because you hadn't gone too far. Now that you've touched my wife, why would I let you go?" he threatened. "Not attacking you now does not mean I'll let you have your way."
"I'm only following orders," she fearlessly stated.
Sir was quick to hazard a guess and uttered, "Mike Cloud?"
"Yes. Why else would I bother fighting you?"
At that moment, someone emerged from the shadows, dressed rather casually in a white shirt. Despite the oddness of his attire, the man was still as handsome as ever.
"Ezekiel," I shouted.
"Don't worry, Ms. Felix," he assured me.
Soon, he walked into our field of view. Suddenly, a normally calm and peaceful Sir angrily barked in warning, "Mike, tell LG to let them go now, or I'll chase you out of Bryxton!"
They all called him Mike, but none of them called him Ezekiel. It appeared as though they were more acquainted with the name Mike Cloud.
Then, Ezekiel turned to Sir and coldly replied, "She didn't even answer my call. I cannot control her."
LG remained submissive to Ezekiel and stated earlier that she needed to complete her mission from Mike. It meant that he was not only unwilling to bother Sir but also unwilling to save the person Sir desired to save.
"You promised me, Ezekiel!" I hurriedly shouted.
Ezekiel promised me he would rescue May.
In response, he smiled. "Don't worry, Ms. Felix."
He constantly reassured me that I had nothing to worry about, but his words were always terrifying.
Suddenly, LG smiled and remarked, "Everyone is here now." Then, she placed her hand on May's shoulder and enthusiastically yelled at the man below, "Are you going to catch her, Alfred?"
As a result of his injuries, Sir could not carry out that task. However, he silently stared at May briefly before gently reassuring her, "I'm here, May."
He meant that she had no reason to be afraid as long as he was there.
"Do you not obey my orders anymore, LG?" Ezekiel demanded.
"I'm only completing the mission you gave me, Mike."
Still, LG was adamant about completing her mission.
Then, he cleared his throat and asked, "If I—"
LG shoved May off the building before Ezekiel could finish his sentence. I stood there watching as her frail body was hurled to the ground. Then, I panicked, threw myself to the ground, and screamed, "May!"
Sir failed to catch her because he was kicked to the side. On the other hand, she escaped unharmed due to Ezekiel's timely intervention. Soon, he let go of her, and I watched as the blood on his white shirt spread rapidly. The impact had caused his previously healing wounds to reopen, and he slowly kneeled down on the ground. Something about him made my chest tighten, and I had a distinct impression that I had met him before.
Then, Sir quickly ran over to lift her off the ground. She was not harmed, merely terrified.
Afterward, I heard the soft voice of Ezekiel, which had been carried to my ears by the wind. "I did say you don't have to worry, Ms. Felix. I promised you—" Following that, he collapsed to the ground.
"Mike!" LG shouted in panic.
Suddenly, someone kicked her from behind, knocking her off the building. I saw her head first collide with the pile of construction rubbish, sending her sprawling across the ground and covering every inch of her in blood. When I turned around, Shawn was standing there, expressionless.
I hurried over to hug him and inquired, "Why are you here?"
He gave me a tight hug in return, and his arms were folded tightly around me as he affectionately explained, "Sir contacted me. I was still in the city due to some delays. Why did you charge into danger all alone—"
"You all said LG is crazy, so I was too scared to say—"
Then, Shawn gave me a bridal carry and descended the stairs. It was a shamble down there, especially with Ezekiel unconscious.
However, LG was still conscious. "Shawn." Finally, she addressed him in Ruslian.
