Chapter 119 Crow Gang (3)



When they heard this, both Haley and her father revealed different expressions.

While they both had traces of confusion on their faces from hearing what he said, they also had traces of other emotions.

Haley had a look of disgust and disdain while her father had a trace of disappointment on his face.

But neither of them had time to say anything else as the boss of the gang came over. He placed his hand on the husband's shoulder and said, "Alex, stop playing around with them and get them to sign it already. We don't have much time to waste, someone will try to come for them eventually."

The husband called Alex had been enjoying his time torturing the two of them, but he knew that the boss was right. So he said, "Big brother, I'll get it right away."

Then turning back, he placed the piece of paper in front of Haley's father and said, "Father in law, if you just sign this, I promise that we'll release you and your daughter right away."

Haley's father had a complicated look on his face when he heard this.

Alex had been offering this to him the entire time, but of course he didn't want to sign this thing.

After all, this was a contract that would transfer the shares of his company to Alex.

He had planned on doing this eventually when Alex and Haley came back to help him with his company. Then he would retire and leave the company to the two of them…

But Haley chose to run off and start this company on her own, which had completely ruined that plan…

Still, this was the culmination of his life's hard work, it wasn't something that he could give up that easily. But on the other side was…his precious daughter.

Even though he spoke in the way that he did to her, she was still his precious daughter that he lovingly raised.

He knew that he had wronged her by forcing to marry Alex because of the debt that he owed to his father. He knew that he had wronged her by stopping her from pursuing her dream for the sake of the future that he planned.

So now that she was in danger, he couldn't help thinking of her.

While he was agonizing over this, Alex turned to Haley and placed another piece of paper in front of her before saying, "It's the same for you. If you sign this, then we'll let you go right away."

Haley didn't even need to look at it to know what it was.

It was a contract that was just like the one that had been offered to her father. If she signed this contract, the store that she had worked hard to build in this city would be given to Alex.

So naturally she didn't even look at it.

Unlike her father, she was willing to die before giving up that store since it wasn't just the culmination of her hard work. It was the culmination of all the hard work of the staff that had been with her the entire time.

She wasn't willing to let anyone touch that store, even if it meant death.

Seeing the looks in their eyes, Alex knew that it was a lost cause to try and convince Haley. On the opposite side though, it seemed like it was possible to convince Haley's father into signing the contract because the look in his eyes was wavering.

So he figured that it was better to start with the father than to try to change Haley's mind.

But before he could say anything else, the boss suddenly said, "Wait."

All of the rough looking men stopped glaring at the two tied up and looked at the boss with a confused look.

Alex turned and asked with the same confused look, "Big brother, what is it?"

The boss knitted his brows and said, "We have a rat."

The moment that I heard this, I couldn't help being taken aback.

I quickly looked around myself, but I wasn't able to find anything that indicated that we had been discovered. I couldn't help feeling confused how we had been discovered, but I knew that there wasn't time to waste here.

I quickly gave a signal to Shaka and mouthed, "We've been found."

Shaka immediately understood what I meant and he was about to turn around to leave, but there was a creaking sound that came from beneath us.

Before any of us could move an inch, the boards of the ceiling under us cracked apart and we started falling.

As we were falling, I could see that one of Shaka's men was just lying there without moving. Even though this seemed very normal, there was a bright red streak that was on that person's neck.

It was the red of blood.

It seemed that the Crow Gang's boss also had an assassin that was watching over the place and they had been the one to find us. They were so skilled that they had managed to kill one of us before we could even react.

Luckily, we weren't too high up, so we didn't fall that far.

As for me, I had also started training my body, but there was only so much that I could accomplish in the short amount of time that I had. So it wasn't as if I had any major results in just a few weeks of training.

Luckily for me, Shaka and Jessica both twisted their bodies to help shield some of the impact for me.

The two of them were well trained, so a small fall from this distance wouldn't be enough to hurt them.

When we landed, we fell right beside the two who were tied up, facing the group of rough looking men in front of us.

Though one of us didn't land like the rest…

This person fell to the ground with a thud and there was a spray of blood that scattered around.
