Guardian-In-Law의 모든 챕터: 챕터 4421 - 챕터 4430

At that moment, Silas was already drenched in sweat, his body growing increasingly weak. He could no longer speak loudly as his throat was hoarse.Despite knowing that his situation was deteriorating, he still wanted to hold on.“It’s useless. I won’t talk.” This time, his voice was extremely weak.His response made Edmund angrier. “You sure have balls to resist. Are you not afraid of dying here?”Edmund was disappointed. It was a simple question. Why was Silas so stubborn to answer? Even after all the torture he suffered, he refused to yield.Quiet, Kaze signaled the men to grab Silas’ other arm. Everyone understood what he was about to do, but they did not expect him not to give Silas a chance.Kaze swung the hammer again, and when it swung down, Silas’ mouth fell open. However, no sound came out.The searing pain made his veins bulge. He was incredibly weak, although it was not immediately apparent.“Splash some water on him. Wake him up.” Kaze rarely spoke, but when he did,

“Mr. Lee, are you going to work tomorrow?”Edmund could not imagine what Kaze would look like in an office.“What am I supposed to do besides go to work? If I’m away for too long, Ms. Quint will definitely come after me.”A relaxed smile appeared on Kaze’s face as he spoke. He seemed so charming when he smiled, making it hard to see the ruthless side of him.Sitting across from him and seeing that bright smile, all Edmund felt was fear and an unprecedented amount of dread.Edmund said, “But Mr. Lee, you don’t need to pretend. There’s really no need for you to work that job.”“It’s better to be cautious,” said Kaze casually. He did not care about others looking down on him.“Silas has been left outside. The other party must have realized something is wrong and is probably making their way up the mountain.”Edmund had no way to stop Kaze, so he could only change the subject.Although he felt that Kaze had a close relationship with his lover, he did not expect Kaze to lower himse

“Are you all a bunch of idiots? Didn’t I tell you to use the people around you? You can’t even manage something this simple. It’s pathetic! I can’t fathom how stupid all of you are!”Lyra was furious. She could not accept the reality that they had humiliated her. It should have been a simple task, and still, they failed. “We tried, but those people are smart. Instead of making a move, they’ve been observing us. If we retreat, they surely won’t take action.”Reese was helpless, too. He tried to come up with a plan, but none of them worked. Besides, the people on the mountain were all formidable. No one wanted to take the risk.“You’re just a bunch of trash. Don’t even think of coming back. Just kill yourselves!” Lyra could not accept such failure, nor could she accept the foolishness of her subordinates.The whole situation had become frightening and ridiculous. She had planned everything out. All they had to do was follow orders, yet things still went wrong.“What should we do

Lyra, who was not a reckless person by nature, said seriously, “Forget it. Have someone clean up the room. Let’s sit down and have a meeting.”Although the incident was unexpected, once she calmed down, she also noticed something was amiss. There were not many top-tier experts in the West State, nor was there anything particularly noteworthy. After all, they had sent Robbie to investigate.Back then, she had simply thought Edmund was rather arrogant. She had not expected him to have such a powerful backer, or for them to be so formidable.She had acted impulsively earlier because she could not accept that fact. Now that she had calmed down, the people around her were relieved.The whole situation had been a bit unexpected.“Don’t worry. We’ll clean it up right away.”A few of them rushed to handle the cleanup.Lyra sat alone on the sofa, looking around at the messy room, growing increasingly frustrated.“How interesting. Just who is the West State branch leader? Why are they so

“If you had known it would turn out like this, you wouldn’t have gone. You were trying to please Ms. Nash, but you ended up making a mistake and angering her.”“What should I do now? I have to go back. If I stay here, I’m afraid I’ll be caught. Once Edmund finds out who I am, he surely won’t let me off.”Reese just wanted to leave the place. He felt indignant but was afraid that disobeying orders would get him captured.“There’s nothing I can do. I’ll try to drop some hints to Ms. Nash. It’ll be great if she agrees to let you return, but you’ll have to accept the consequences that come with it.”The friend knew the matter was not over. It was just the beginning. Having failed disastrously, staying in Viper’s Den would not be easy for Reese. He would surely be held accountable.“So what should I do? If I don’t go back, I’ll die here, but going back might not be better than death either.” Reese was truly stuck in a dilemma. He did not know what to do.“Forget it. This whole inciden
