Chapter 250
Hugh knelt and looked at the shiny blade on the ground. His pupils constricted and his face was filled with fear.
Cut off two of his fingers?
If he lost two fingers, how could he face others in the future?
“Do you want me to help you?” Robert asked coldly.
Because Hugh offended the Zabel family, it led to their counterattack, and his business was destroyed.
Everything was Hugh’s fault!
He stared at Hugh, his eyes flashing with surging killing intent and anger.
Not only did this piece of trash damage his business, but he was also secretly embezzling his money. He deserved to die for being a traitor.
If not for the fact that Hugh was his distant relative, he really wanted to kill Hugh with one slash,
“Mr. Bard. I was really wrong. Please, can you give me a chance to make it up to you?”
Hugh knelt on the ground and begged for mercy in fear.
“Three!” Robert said coldly.
“Mr. Bard…” Hugh’s expression changed.
Before he could finish. Robert continued. “Four!”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and aimed at Hugh. A sharp stream of vital energy flew out from Robert’s thumb and shattered Hugh’s middle finger on his left hand with a pfft.
“Ahhhhhhhhh!”
The nerves of the fingertips were linked with the heart!
Now that one of his fingers was unexpectedly shattered, such a heart-wrenching pain immediately made Hugh’s face contort in pain as he let out an excruciating scream.
When Damian, Tomas, and Zac saw this scene, their pupils constricted violently, and their expressions were shocked.
After vital energy left his body, he could make attacks through the air!
Robert’s cultivation was even more powerful and unfathomable than before. Perhaps he had already surpassed the general-class and reached a higher realm.
This was the legendary Six Divine Sword!
Thinking of this, they looked at Robert with even more respect and admiration.
Robert was expressionless. He said coldly, “Hugh, you have one more chance. Sever three of your fingers immediately. Otherwise, I’ll take your life next time!”
When Hugh heard this, his face paled in shock. He did not dare to hesitate anymore. He picked up the blade and steeled his heart. He gritted his teeth and cut off all three of his fingers.
In an instant, the heart-wrenching pain made his expression contort in pain. His face was pale and he was drenched in sweat.
When Robert saw this scene, the killing intent and anger in his eyes lessened a little. He said coldly. “You loser, this is only your punishment. After the negotiation tomorrow, I’ll slowly settle the score with you.”
“Negotiation Hugh’s expression changed again.
“I’ve made an agreement with Dominic Zabel. Tomorrow night at nine o’clock in the Charm Lounge, all the grudges between you and Haylan Jaber will be discussed openly at the table, Robert said in a low voice.
With their statuses, they had long lost the youthful vigor they had when they were young. They only wanted to do business and earn money steadily.
No matter what, the Zabel family was a famous family in Lightdom City.
Once the Zabel family wanted to oppose him, his forces would definitely be damaged. At that time, his other enemies would definitely move with the wind and attack him.
When the time came, his forces would be attacked from all sides, and he would be unstable.
Therefore, he did not want to blow things up. Sitting down to negotiate was the best way to minimize losses!
It was also because of this that he did not kill Hugh after learning that Hugh had betrayed him so many times.
Otherwise, with his personality, he would have chopped Hugh up and fed him to the dogs long ago!
Hughes expression changed when he heard that. His heart sank again.
He knew that Robert spared his life because he wanted him to pay the price and bear all the consequences at tomorrow’s negotiations
In other words, Robert would use him to appease the Zabel family’s anger.
Thanking of this, he felt even more despair.
Robert seemed to have expected Hugh’s thoughts. He stared coldly at Hugh and said word by word, “Hugh, I didn’t kill you because of my sister”
“But you have to take responsibility for what you’ve caused.”
“If you dare to escape. I’ll kill your entire family!
“Also, you have to transfer the money you took from me back to my account tonight. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences”
After saying that, he placed a few photos in front of Hugh. He took the lead in leaving with Tomas and Zac following behind.
Hugh looked at the photos and fell to the ground. His eyes were filled with despair as he muttered, “It’s over!”
In the photo, there was a beautiful woman and two rather good-looking and cute girls. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
These were the wife and children that Hugh had secretly hidden away. He had never mentioned them to anyone, nor had he let has claldren and wife know about his job. He had also not brought his wife and children with him. Instead, he had sent them overseas, far away from the underworld.
He never expected that Robert would actually investigate such a thing.
He knew Robert’s personality very well. If he really escaped, Robert would really attack and tear his family into pieces.
At the thought of this, he was completely disheartencil.
At this moment, he finally understood that everything he did was not flawless. Robert had already seen through everything.
This old thing!
Hugh gritted his teeth.
THUD!
Damian took out a medical kit and threw it in front of Hugh. He said coldly, “Wipe the wound. Don’t let the blood dirty my
Bloor.”
Hugh gritted his teeth and opened the medical kit. He stopped the bleeding and bandaged the wound. After doing everything, he sat up and wiped the sweat off his forehead. His expression was hideous. “Do you have wine?”
Darnian glanced at him and took out a bottle of whiskey. He placed it in front of him. “This is from my secret stash. I can’t even bear to take a sip. Today, I will crack it open to say farewell to you. Drink it.”
As one of the Four Kings, he knew that Iugh had committed a huge crime this time.
If it wasn’t for the negotiation, Robert would have killed Hugh long ago.
Even if Hugh survived tomorrow’s negotiations, and the Zabel family did not do anything to him….
Hugh opened the bottle of whiskey and immediately raised his head. He gulped down a few mouthfuls, causing his originally pale face to regain some color.
He put down the wine glass, his face as dark as water. “Since it’s a farewell party, there has to be food, right?”
“Look at how useless you are. Even if you die, you want to die with a full stomach, right?”
Damian glanced at Hugh and immediately made a call. He got his chef to prepare a large table of dishes and placed them in front of Hugh.
Hugh wolfed down the food and wine on the table. Only then did he regain some strength and sit on the sofa in a daze.
A moment later, he wiped his mouth and asked, “Damian, what do you think people live for in this world?”
“Earn money, enjoy life, and gain power, Damian said,
“But what good are these things when you’re facing death?”
Hugh sighed and smiled bitterly. “Tve worked hard for most of my life, but I have to return all the money to Mr. Bard. 1 can’t take away what I earned
“Now that I think about it, I’ve been busy for so long. I seem to be high and mighty, but in fact, I don’t even have a friend that I can talk openly to.
“I don’t even dare to get close to my wife and children.”
“Why am I so busy? Is it just to give money to my children and wife? What about me?”
Damian smoked a cigarette and glanced at him disdainfully. “We’re all people who might die any day, so we live for the day. Don’t talk philosophy with me here!”
“You’re in this mess because you’re an idiot. You did something wrong and went down the wrong path.”
“If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price. This is the underworld!”
Hugh looked at him in annoyance. “Can’t you fucking let me rant?”
Damian threw a pack of cigarettes to Hugh. “Think about your own path. I don’t want to hear your long-winded words.”
With that, he left.
Hugh looked at the cigarettes in front of him and fell into a long silence.
A moment later, he took out his phone and sent a message to his wife, who was overseas. “I’ve thought about it. I won’t migrate anymore. You guys have a good life there. Don’t think about me.”
After sending the message, he smashed the phone with a bang.
