Chapter 737 - Seven Hundred And Thirty-seven: God Gave Him A Second Chance (2/2)
”If you indeed learned from me, then you should know what I'm thinking right now,” He came closer to whisper, ”People like us can never change,” And then stood on his feet as he left.
Not less than a minute after Sakuzi left, Emerald stood up from his seat as well. However, just as he passed Mikhail by, the man quickly reached out and grabbed onto his leg.
”Please, have mercy on me!” He begged him.
Emerald looked down at him with boredom. It was funny how someone who thought he was at the top of the world could be dragged down so easily.
”Sorry,” Emerald said, ”But I don't help people who look down on women,” He kicked his grip away and gave one last glance to his men who knew what to do.
As soon as the door was closed, a tense silence stretched the room. Mikhail's other men now had his hand in the air as a sign of surrender while the three members of the Falcon Gang left to eliminate them had their gun pointed at them.
”Please don't harm me and I promise you that I will give whatever you want,” Mikhail attempted to negotiate with them. Unlike Sakuzi and Emerald who made up their minds, he could still manipulate them. Moreover, this wasn't the first time gang members turned their back on their leaders - he did too.
”Sorry, an order is an order,” said one of them firmly and had already removed the gun's safety, ready to fire.
Mikhail instinctively shut his eyes close, ready to go meet his maker when a bang was heard. Strangely, he didn't feel a thing and he concluded that they must have killed his guard first. However, he heard a little ruckus and another shot, and yet he was still alive.
He then opened his eyes to see that he was alive and so was his other guard. However, both members of the Falcon were down because one of their own shot them.
”I knew you were smart to take the offer,” Mikhail grinned at the one who shot his teammates.
”Shut up!” the guy said and then turned to his guard saying, ”How many of your men are outside,”
”Seven?” he added, ”If they're still alive,”
”They should be,” The betrayer ordered him, ”Tell them to make a scene outside and clear the path. It would get them dead of course but if your boss has any chances of leaving here, alive, he would sacrifice them,”
”Do it!” Mikhail ordered without a second thought. He had always been a selfish man, not to talk of now that his life was hanging on the line.
His guard had no choice but to comply with the order and while he was at it, Mikhail picked a gun from one of the dead members. God has given him a second chance to live and he would not waste it!
