Chapter 23 No Way Out
Corey panicked too. With Darren caught, he was as good as dead. They would be next.
He looked at the flustered Mr. Hyde, then dropped to his knees with a loud thud.
“Mr. Hyde, please save me. I’m begging you, please! I only hurt one person, I didn’t touch her daughter. And L… I was out in less than a minute. Her crying freaked me out, I swear. It wasn’t even a minute…”
Back then, when he had been forced onto that woman, the girl next to her had already fainted. The woman’s gut–wrenching cries had rattled him. He hadn’t wanted to do it either, but he hadn’t wanted to be laughed at.
Still, it was true
he had gotten off her in less than a minute. He had even tried to comfort her, telling her crying would only make things worse, telling her it would be better to end it herself than suffer more.
“Shut the hell up! You think this is the time to whine about that?” Mr. Hyde snapped, pacing the room, trying to think.
Samuel wasn’t someone to underestimate. For years, Mr. Hyde had avoided crossing him, just to stay alive.
Now that everything was exposed, knowing Samuel’s nature, there was no way he would let them go.
Corey was completely falling apart.
He didn’t dare step outside. At least here, Mr. Hyde could protect him.
If he went out alone, he was dead for sure.
It had been Darren and Corey who had started everything. They had been the ones who suggested torturing the women. “Mr. Hyde, think of something. Maybe we should run. Get far away and come back once things settle down.”
Corey didn’t want to die. If he had to run, following Mr. Hyde would at least guarantee he lived in comfort.
“Run? Are you stupid? Where the hell would we run to? Every road leads to death! Do you have any idea how big Samuel’s network is? It’s not just Dravia. Even if we flee abroad, he’ll still find us. Mr. Hyde’s voice roared through the room.
“But Mr. Hyde, we can’t just sit here and wait to die! I don’t want to die. I haven’t even gotten married or had kids yet. I’m the only son in my family. I can’t let the line die with me!” Corey bawled, tears streaming down his face.
Mr. Hyde wanted to shoot him right then and there.
Was this idiot seriously thinking about marriage and kids right now?
What a goddamn moron.
“You say one more word, and I’ll put a bullet in your head!” Mr. Hyde barked, rushing to have the bodyguards outside get ready.
Corey backed away, shaking his head frantically.
“All these years, I’ve been repenting. I can’t even sleep when I think about them.”
He had once had a girlfriend he loved deeply. Five years ago, when she got pregnant, he had forced her to get an abortion.
She left him afterward.
Mr. Hyde scoffed, looking at him with disgust.
“What, you think.
you’re some kind of saint now? You were the one who caught them. You think you can just wash your hands clean? You’re scared of Samuel now, so you’re trying to pretend you’re innocent? Dream on.”
Corey finally gave up.

Chapter 23 No Way Out
It was true. Ik then, when Samuel fled, he had hidden his wife and daughter somewhere safe. Corey had Fnd out and reported it toe boss immediately.
At the time, he hadn’t thought much of it. He just wanted to impress the boss. They had captured the wife and daughter because of him.
He had thought they’d just use them to lure Samuel out.
He hadn’t known they would….
Mr. Hyde flopped into a chair, not caring what Corey thought anymore. His mind was racing for a way out.
They couldn’t stay in Dravia. They had to flee to another country.
Samuel’s influence stretched far, but not everywhere.
Luckily, Mr. Hyde still had a few business partners in Zarovia. He could ask them for help and hide out for a while.
But before he escaped, there was one thing he had to take care of.
He grabbed a gun from a bodyguard and pointed it at Corey.
That was when Corey finally understood that his life was worthless.
villa with his men.
Meanwhile, Samuel was racing toward the v
His hands clenched and unclenched, shaking with rage. These bastards would pay. He would make sure they suffered a fate worse than death.
His wife had been so kind, so beautiful, and had ended up like that.
His daughter had been so adorable, only fourteen, and those animals hadn’t even spared her…
A man as strong and proud as Samuel now had red–rimmed eyes. The grief of a husband and father crushed him.
The thought of what they had endured made the air feel like ice.
His wife and daughter had been so helpless, so full of pain.
Samuel forced himself to stay calm. He had to make them pay with their lives.
Inside the villa.
Mr. Hyde was just about to shoot Corey when someone burst in.
“Boss! A bunch of cars are headed straight for the villa!”
Mr. Hyde lowered the gun.
They were coming a lot faster than he had expected. This area, at the border between Dravia and Dimsdale, was chaotic- full of riots and violence.
That was exactly why he had chosen to live here. His villa wasn’t guarded by amateurs. His men were all mercenaries.
Samuel might be strong.
But Mr. Hyde wasn’t some scared rookie either. Taking him down wouldn’t be easy.
