Chapter 547 - Five Hundred And Forty-Eight: Decision (1/2)

The third point of view:

”Sorry, but I don't risk my daughter's life,” Niklaus told her with an icy tone and Isabella recognized his intention.

”No, no, no!” She tried to come after him but those stupid guards grabbed her from behind.

”You fucking promised me! It was a deal!” Isabella continued shouting as her father turned off the gun's safety. She struggled fiercely but it was two strong men against her.

Niklaus ignored her ravings, walking over to Jean pressed on the floor, saying, ”No bad blood here but you crossed a line you shouldn't have,” Moreover, Jean was one of the hitmen who assisted Miguel in hurting his wife Reina, hence it was time to collect. He had delayed the inevitable long enough.

However, just as Niklaus was about to pull the trigger, Sakuzi's voice sounded from behind,”You bad father, what are you about to do?”

Niklaus gritted, ”Isn't that obvious?”

”Yes, you're a coward who's going back on his words,” Sakuzi retorted fearlessly.

Isabella was relived at the sight of Sakuzi, who knew that old man would be useful to her one day. Now her messiah was here, she quickly took advantage of his presence, ”Jean has agreed to be my shadow guard. That was the deal, don't let him go back on his words, grandpa,” She finally called him that.

Sakuzi didn't know whether to laugh or cringe, that brat was a sly opportunist. Well, his hands are tied then.

”Let the man be, Niklaus,” Was his command, ”You know our word is the law. Don't tell me you want to lose your respect over this issue,”

At first, it looked as if Niklaus wouldn't let Jean go since he had the gun in a tight vice with his jaw clenched and his body rigid, the war raging inside of him. But then, he lowered his weapon at last.

”Finally,” Isabella exhaled a shaky breath just as the men holding her down let go. For a moment there, she had thought her father would kill him.

Jean was released as well but no one anticipated that Niklaus would point the gun at him suddenly and shoot him on the arm. Jean moaned in pain.

”Jesus! Niklaus !” Isabella went over to the injured Jean howling in pain and glared at him.

”What was that for?!”

”That was for touching you. No one messes with my daughter and goes scot free,” Niklaus told her regarding the incident where he held her hostage. The deal had been to keep him alive which he did.

”Well, point made, now get lost,” Isabella was mad at him. The only reason she hadn't give him a bollocking was because she was partially responsible for whatever happened. She will let this one pass.

”Where's your doctor?” She asked Sakuzi in particular.

Sakuzi sighed, ”This is why I don't want the both of you here. You and your father are so much trouble,” He grumbled yet in the end, signaled his men to take Jean away for treatment.

”Where are you going?” Niklaus held Isabella's arm.
