Chapter 364

364 Breaking the code of formalities

Maverick ignored that statement and stood in front of his wife. He looked at her from head to toe before asking, “Are you hurt anywhere?” 1

Jeslyn smiled and shook her head, “I’m fine.”

He kissed his wife’s forehead before stretching his hand towards the direction of the door. In seconds, Code 2 walked in and handed Maverick a gun.

With everyone still wondering what was about to happen, Maverick pointed the gun at Catherine. Without a single word said, bang! A bullet flew out of the gun and lurched straight into Catherine’s heart. 2

Davis was still in shock. Before he could gather himself, bang! Another bullet left Maverick’s gun and hit Davis on his shoulder, causing his gun to fall from his hand.

Screams from the staff and customers filled the air as Davis‘ men rushed down from upstairs while Maverick’s men rushed in from the entrance.

The place became messy as both sides held each other at gunpoint.

Davis watched as Catherine breathed her last in his hands before he laid her to sleep on the floor.

With his other hand, Davis picked up his gun and pointed it at Maverick.

“You’re a daring bastard, aren’t you?” He asked with his smirk.

Maverick didn’t utter a word. He was just staring at Davis as he was suppressing his anger.

“The brotherhood would love to know this. I promise you, you’ll regret this!”

“You killed your woman, you idiot.” Rex finally spoke up. “My brother doesn’t get involved in women’s fights even though his wife is getting defeated. Your woman caused trouble. She spread lies about my sister–in–law and also wanted to intimidate her. You were standing up there without calling her to place. But when my sister–in–law fought back, you suddenly jumped out of your hiding to fight a weak woman. Aren’t you ashamed? This is why my brother calls you a weakling…” 1

Rex paused and took a step forward while in a deep thought.

“Ah, by the way, your actions today only meant one thing. You sent your wife to test the waters. If my sister–in–law alone had come here today, that was how you and your woman would have bullied her and probably killed her. Isn’t it?”

Rex spoke what was in everyone’s mind. Some of them saw Davis standing on the stairs while watching his woman cause trouble. Now that she was killed, he dared to blame others.

Davis didn’t deny or admit to anything. He narrowed his eyes at Jeslyn who was standing beside Maverick before saying, “Ever since you came into his life, you’ve been using him as a backing to ruin things for people you shouldn’t be messing it. When they’ll come for you, I’ll know where you’ll hide.”

“It seems you don’t get tired talking bullshit! My sister–in–law has never caused troubles for anyone and if, by chance, anyone dares to rile her up, or bully her because he feels he’s stronger than her, 1, Rex won’t mind sacrificing my life to bring that person down, so Davis, are you willing to die with

me?”

All what Rex said flew right over Davis‘ head. He was frustrated that everything he had been saying couldn’t get Maverick to argue with him. The bastard still sees him as a nobody that deserves his attention.

Angered, Davis said; “Maverick, you’ve broken the code of formalities between us. From now on, I won’t be humble! Don’t be surprised that your wife leaves the house and doesn’t return.” With that said, he was about to walk away when a gunshot sound was heard.

“Bang!”

Maverick shot the place Davis was about to step on.

“Touch a hair on her head and I’ll make you beg for death.” Maverick’s voice when he made that declaration, wasn’t loud. He didn’t even say it with emotions but those who heard it felt a chill.

His words reeked of the evil person he was. Even Jeslyn was not left out. His aura at the moment, reminded her of the first day they met and also the aura he was exuding when she thought he killed Ray.

“You’ve finally spoken? Haha, for a moment, I thought you were a mute. However, because you feel I can’t kill her doesn’t mean others won’t. But let me remind you, bro, you just killed my woman and I won’t stand back without avenging her.” He smirked before turning around and leaving, with his guards carrying his dead woman.

Jeslyn sighed after they left. “I think I’ve caused trouble again.”

Maverick glanced at her before pulling her to himself. “You did nothing wrong.”

“I know I’m not wrong, but I feel like I’ve fallen into a deep scheme.”

“Mn… They’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time,” he said.

“Now that they’ve gotten what they wanted, it will be dangerous now, right?” she asked.

“Don’t worry about it, I’ll handle it.” He kissed her on the head.

Inside the car…

Jeslyn couldn’t stop herself from asking the question that has been bothering her.

“Plum, since you know that Davis has been scheming around you, why did you stay quiet?”

“He didn’t. The fight is not Davis‘. The organization is getting ready to take things by force, so they sent Davis to test the waters and the idiot used his woman. Now that my brother has taken action, he has to strike immediately, there’s no going back.” Rex explained.

“But those people are powerful. They have control over the satellite and everybody. How are you going to fight them? Plum, are you sure this is ok?” Jeslyn was genuinely worried. Pink and Blue make her understand the power those people held. If Maverick wants to fight them, he has to be more powerful.

Maverick pulled her hands in his and slowly started to rub them.

“Don’t worry, you and our son will be safe.”

“And you? What about you and Rex?” Jeslyn frowned.

“Valen wants us to give him a sister, I won’t leave you unless I’ve fulfilled his wish.”

Hearing the shameless words that came out of his father’s lips, Valen rolled his eyes in disgust. ‘He’s blackmailing her, he thought.

“Stop being cheeky, I’m serious here,” Jeslyh lightly slapped his hand and pouted, causing him to laugh out loud.

“I’m serious. I’ve set things in place.” He pulled her close and kissed her lips to stop her from worrying. But his kiss didn’t help Jeslyn at all, rather, it got her more worried.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
