Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

318 Buying time

All the men, including the leader, widened their eyes in horror. They were lost, it felt like their hearts had been separated from their bodies. They didn’t offend anyone else but Alpha Chaos?!

“Lola,” Jeslyn mumbled with Lola on her lap as she sat there on the floor, lost in her own world of hopelessness with Lola’s limp body.

She wasn’t breathing, nor was she giving signs of being alive, so Jeslyn lost hope of survival. After all, her men were surrounded and the enemies were still many, about thirty or even more.

She was just sitting there and expecting her death.

Meanwhile, the enemies were all staring at their new leader and waiting for his order. The leader shifted his gaze at Jeslyn. Her cream–colored shirt was stained with blood. He wasn’t sure if she got wounded but that’s not the problem right now.

“We’ve already offended Alpha Chaos. Even if we let her leave, he’ll still come after us. Peradventure he doesn’t come after us, the person who gave us this mission would kill us. So, it’s only right to kill her.”

“You’re making a big mistake!” Code 7 roared.

“I know. Whatever step I take, we already made a big mistake, so don’t let us waste it.” He said.

“100 million dollars!” Code 5 butted in: He was buying time.

The leader froze. After a while, he relaxed and chuckled. “I don’t do such jobs, bro. Our reputation

matters most-”

Code 5 cut him off, “You have to be alive to consider reputation, right? If you kill Alpha Chaos‘ wife, he’ll hunt you until eternity. But if you take the money and leave, he might be lenient with his punishment. Madam is a nice person, she might beg for you to be let off.”

“Hmmm, those are nice and convincing words but look, her friend is dead and a person like her whom I watched kill my men just a while ago would be very heartless and won’t think twice to seek revenge on me when she gets the chance… so, farewell!”

a villainous smile crept into his lips. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, a loud gunshot sound rang in the alleyway followed by Code 5 and
