Chapter 230 Cleaning Up
"Alexander! Do you even know what you're doing? I'm your uncle! Not even your father would dare point a gun at me!" Santino's face was drenched in sweat, his chubby cheeks trembling with fear. Blood kept oozing from the wound on his leg, making things worse.
Alexander sneered, "Uncle? You think that means something? The fact that you're still breathing is my mistake!"
'Looks like there are other ways to dig into those matters. I'm not keeping these guys around to let them mess with my fiancée,' Alexander thought.
Santino awkwardly scooted back, his muscles twitching. "How dare you touch me? I want to see Felix! He would never allow this!"
Alexander chuckled. "I was gonna deal with all of you together, but since I'm not the only one who wants you dead, someone else can take the fall."
Santino trembled, thinking, 'What does Alexander mean by that? Who else wants to hurt me?'
"Are you getting old and deaf? Didn't you hear the gunshots just now?" Alexander asked.
Remembering the chaos outside the ward earlier, Santino suddenly realized someone else was gunning for him too! "Who? Who wants me dead?"
Alexander pulled the trigger, and a bullet tore into Santino's other leg, blood splattering everywhere! "You should have a pretty good idea."
Alexander's tone was casual, like he was chatting about the weather. He fired a few more bullets from his gun!
Santino let out a gut-wrenching scream! "Alexander! Even if I die, I won't let you off!"
Despite his words, Santino's heart was gripped with terror!
With all the noise in the ward and no bodyguards rushing in, Santino knew Alexander must've taken care of all his men, who were top-notch international assassins.
Plus, all the people he sent to kill Catherine had been wiped out. Only now did Santino realize Alexander was a ruthless force, thinking they should've never let him grow up unscathed. "No, you can't kill me. You still need to investigate your mother's matters."
Alexander aimed his gun at Santino's arm and pulled the trigger without hesitation. "I won't kill you. The person who wants you dead isn't me, right?"
Santino's body was riddled with bleeding wounds, and the floor was covered in his blood, looking like a scene from hell.
Wearing patent leather shoes, Alexander seemed unfazed by the blood on the floor, walking step by step toward the despairing Santino.
Alexander relished the fear on Santino's face. "Back then, you watched my mother die the same way. Experiencing all the blood draining from your body is a fitting end. I won't let you die so easily. Enjoy your final moments, Santino!"
Alexander's face bore a bloodthirsty killing intent, like the whispers of a demon from hell, echoing in Santino's ears. He was here for revenge, for what happened back then!
"You can't do this to me. Ezekiel isn't innocent! And there were others involved!" Santino said.
Alexander nodded, stood up, and wiped the blood off his hands. "I know, but Ezekiel still needs to be the scapegoat for your death, so he has to stay for now."
When Alexander decided to keep someone alive, it meant they were in for a fate worse than death!
Ezekiel wanted to pin Santino's death on the Windsor Family and Alexander, but Alexander had other plans. He'd make sure Ezekiel paid for it with an even bigger crime! "As for the others, thanks for the reminder. It's time to pay your boss a visit."
Santino's eyes darted around as he wondered, 'How did Alexander know I have a boss? When did he find out?'
A whirlwind of chaotic thoughts flooded Santino's mind, making his head spin!
Alexander didn't spare him another glance, thinking Santino was already a dead man walking.
"If you let me go, I'll tell you who wanted to kill your mother back then!" Santino pleaded.
"I don't need you useless people telling me what to do." Alexander tossed his gun into the pool of blood and left the ward without looking back. "I don't want to see anyone else here before he takes his last breath."
"Yes, sir!" The bodyguards outside the ward didn't even dare to look up at Alexander, their ears filled with Santino's agonizing screams!
Santino looked at the gun in front of him, recognizing it as Ezekiel's. He realized Ezekiel actually dared to make a move against him at this moment!
Using his last bit of strength, Santino dialed the emergency contact on his phone. "Boss, please save me! Alexander wants to kill me!"
On the other end of the line, the sound of pages turning could be heard, and the man's elegant and indifferent tone was filled with cruelty and mockery. "If he wants you dead, then just die already. Why are you calling me?"
"Sir! If I die, he'll definitely investigate and find you!"
The person on the other end of the line abruptly cut off the connection, ignoring Santino's desperate calls!
At the hospital entrance, Alexander sat in the car with his eyes closed, resting.
Annie turned slightly. "Mr. Howard, Santino is dead, and the news has spread. Everyone in the circle knows he was killed by Ezekiel. We've hidden the part about Santino trying to harm Catherine, but should we inform the Windsor Family?"
Alexander opened his eyes and picked up his phone.
He pondered for a moment. "Charles isn't an idiot. If something happens to the Howard Family, he'll investigate. It's better to let them know now than have him find out later that someone from their side went after Catherine."
That was her family; they had the right to know everything that happened to Catherine.
More importantly, once Charles knew, he would arrange for people to protect Catherine, providing more assurance against the situation Alexander feared.
On the other end of the line, Charles stood up from his office chair as soon as Alexander finished explaining the situation in the simplest terms! "What did you say? Those scumbags dared to lay a hand on Catherine?"
Alexander's tone was indifferent. "I've dealt with one, but there's another one I need to keep alive for now. I'll personally take his life."
Charles was somewhat displeased. "Mr. Howard, are you feeling sorry for the Howard Family? If you can't handle it, I can take care of it for you!"
