With a muffled thud, he made contact with the ground in a meaty smack, and he saw stars in his vision for a moment.

At that moment, they removed the bag on his head and stripped down the tape on his mouth.

Just when he was about to shout, he met Josiah’s gaze.

“Mr. Bayer?”

“How have you been, Mr. Jones?”

Oliver’s head went blank for a moment. No matter how hard he thought, he couldn’t think of when he had offended Josiah before.

He looked around and realized that a group of bodyguards surrounded him. All of them had stoic expressions on their faces, and he swallowed his question back down to his stomach pit.

“Mr. Jones.” Josiah squatted in front of him and pulled a stack of photos out of his pocket. “Do you know them?”

Oliver took a look at the photos and realized they were all photos of his men following Cordelia.

“I… I don’t understand. Did Ms. Jenner run into a problem?”

“Well, don’t you know the best if she is in trouble or not?” Josiah replied as he smacked his face with the stack of photos.

Oliver panicked and hastily asked for forgiveness.

“Mr. Bayer, I really don’t know what is going on! Ms. Jenner and I are just working partners. She’s a very capable person, and we’ve had a great time working together several times in the past…”

Josiah looked at him disdainfully. He knew he was lying.

“Oliver, let me make it clear for you. The reason you asked your men to follow Cordelia is that you want to find out Marcus’ identity, right?”

Oliver felt a chill down his spine and did not dare to say anything.

“Well, you’re right. He’s Zephyr Hamilton!” said Josiah, emphasizing each word. There was a devilish smile at the corner of his lips, and it scared Oliver to the core.

It was only now Oliver realized that he was the clown here. He thought he was spying on Marcus in the dark, but little did he expect that Marcus had already noticed him.

Josiah pulled out a dagger, and it gleamed coldly in the dark, causing Oliver’s hair to stand on end. After that, he pulled out a revolver, and the sound of loading bullets into the revolver was clear to the ears.

Oliver tried to move away from Josiah, his eyes filled with fear.

“M-Mr. Bayer…”

Josiah chuckled lightly and said, “Z said that since there’s someone who’s so eager to reveal his identity, he figures that he should just get rid of that person. After all, only dead men tell no tales.”

After he finished speaking, he placed the revolver at Oliver’s head.

Oliver was so scared that he peed his pants and screamed in fear.

Josiah placed the dagger on his neck.

“If I kill you with this revolver, your death will be quick. But stabbing you with this dagger is entertaining as well.

“Or maybe…” Josiah scoffed lightly and continued. “You can call Matthew and see how he wants you to die.”
