The Supreme Man: Took Everything in Power
Chapter 381

Will gulped before saying in a trembling voice, "U-Um, we're Scarlet Heart's bosses. We have money. We can give you all the money you want, but just let my brother go." Kyle was crying and pleading for his life on the ground. "Yeah, we're rich! I'll give you money! Just don't kill me!"

"Money?" Johnny sneered. "How much can you give?"

Will raised one finger and suggested nervously, "A hundred and fifty grand?"

Johnny and his men were stupefied. They were nothing but thugs who loitered around in the urban village, so a hundred and fifty grand was big money for them. Will took their silence as consideration, and he raised seven fingers. "I'll add six hundred grand to that offer! Seven hundred and fifty grand for you to spare my brother!" Johnny and his men looked at one another. They seemed tempted.

The lean guy went ahead and whispered, "Boss, I dunno if you still remember this, but Mr. Nicholson arrested two foreign guys back in the urban village, didn't he?"

Johnny gasped as he was reminded of that harrowing night. They were hiding in a warehouse Leoric rented. They heard a gunfight happening outside, and there was even a tear gas involved. They even heard the sound of helicopters flying above them. The fight left a deep impression on them, even though they didn't see it firsthand. Johnny slapped himself so hard, it was audible. "Darn it! We ain't gonna turn our backs on Mr. Nicholson! He's helping us even though he doesn't have to!"

Johnny's lackeys were motivated as well.

"Yeah! The Jeanne Gang will never betray their friends!"

"Heck yeah! A million is nothing! We'll be managing Sunshine Casino if we just follow Mr. Nicholson's lead."

Johnny finally snapped out of being tempted, and he shot daggers at Will. "You f*cking b*stard! You almost got us killed!"

Will took a few steps back in horror. "B-But I'll give you lots and lots of money. That should be enough, shouldn't it?"

Johnny grinned. "It's a tempting offer, but we can't and won't betray Mr. Nicholson."

He waved his hand and shouted, "Do it, boys!"

The men were already swinging their weapons down on Kyle before Will could do anything about it. All Will heard were sickening crunches at first.

Kyle screamed, "Help, Will! Help!" Kyle held his head and curled up on the ground. He wailed in agony, but it turned into a whisper just a moment later. Blood started flowing out and drenching the ground. Right before Johnny and his lackeys could land the final blow, Kingsley called Johnny. "Break his limbs, but don't kill him."

"Yes, sir!"

He hung up and shouted, "That's enough, boys! Mr. Nicholson called. He wants the b*stard to live." He swung his steel bar again and broke Kyle's limbs. In the end, he stabbed the steel bar in between Kyle's legs. "This one's on the house." He grinned. Johnny waved his hand again. "And that's our cue, boys! Retreat!" Everyone tucked their weapons away and hopped into the van. They slammed the doors shut, and the van darted into the night.

"Kyle!" Will shouted in fear, and he crawled over to his brother. He checked on Kyle and noticed that he was still breathing, though it was weak, and he had fainted. "He's still breathing. He's alive." Will heaved a sigh of relief and called an ambulance. He got Kyle to the nearest hospital, and he was taken into the emergency room.
