Chapter 269 Wronged!
This sudden twist caught Virgil completely off guard!
Watching his buddy get taken out in a second, Virgil was instantly terrified. "What are you doing?"
Orlando pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and gently wiped the dagger clean.
A faint, cold smile appeared on his lips. "What am I doing? Didn't you see it all? Do I need to explain further?"
With that, he slowly started walking towards Virgil!
Virgil stepped back and said nervously, "I warn you. This is a society governed by law. What you're doing is illegal!"
Orlando responded calmly, "Illegal? Please tell me when I broke the law and against whom?"
At this moment, cold sweat was streaming down Virgil's face!
Had he known this guy was so ruthless, he wouldn't have dared to be so arrogant!
He never expected Ryder to have such a vicious friend come to his rescue!
This was a big mistake!
Virgil tried to suppress his fear and said, "Don't be impulsive. We can talk things out. Using a knife really hurts feelings!"
Orlando coldly replied, "Sorry, we're not close, and there's no need to talk about feelings with you! Besides, I thought about it, and the fewer people who know about this, the better! So, I can only apologize!"
With that, Orlando suddenly charged forward, slashing the dagger at Virgil!
The slash went from top to bottom!
Virgil's face changed dramatically, and he quickly jumped back!
The dagger ran past!
Although Virgil avoided a fatal blow, his shirt was still cut open!
"Fuck!"
In the next instant, Virgil didn't dare to delay for even a second and scrambled into the house!
Seeing this, Orlando looked around!
In the forest, there were only three abandoned wooden houses.
Even if Virgil ran, he couldn't escape.
Orlando gestured to the two buddies behind him, and the three of them walked straight to the small wooden house!
He kicked the door open!
Orlando was about to shout to scare Virgil!
However, when he saw the situation inside, Orlando was instantly freaked out—because he saw another person beside Virgil!
This was a short, one-eyed middle-aged man!
The reason he felt terrified was that the middle-aged man was holding a shotgun aimed at them!
"Run!" Orlando instinctively shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, the one-eyed man had already fired!
A blood hole appeared in the forehead of one of Orlando's buddies!
He fell to the ground dead, eyes wide open!
Orlando's other buddy was shot in the chest and fell.
Although he didn't die immediately, he was spitting blood, convulsing, and in a miserable state!
This sudden turn of events almost scared Orlando to death!
Even though he had some notoriety in Houston, he had done many bad things and even killed a few times, Orlando was still helpless in the face of a shotgun!
So this time, it was his turn to be scared.
With a tearful face, Orlando raised his hands and said, "Buddy, let's not be impulsive! We can talk things out. Don't commit a crime!"
"Kneel!"
Virgil suddenly shouted coldly!
Orlando obediently knelt!
Virgil stepped up to Orlando, snatched the dagger, and slapped Orlando twice, cursing, "Fuck! Now you know you're wrong? I tried to talk to you just now. That was a chance for you, you know? But you didn't take it!"
As he spoke, he grabbed Orlando's head and shook it violently!
Orlando's sunglasses fell to the ground!
Orlando shrank his neck, not daring to move! There was no choice. That one-eyed man had a gun!
Virgil felt a wave of relief in his heart!
Luckily, he had an ambush set up—a man hiding in the small wooden house.
The purpose was to prevent Ryder from escaping!
As for the one-eyed man's identity, he used to be a hunter.
This time, Sawyer hired him from the black market!
This hunter cost eight thousand dollars a day!
He was expensive but very effective!
Virgil frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Answer me. Do you have any other helpers coming to rescue Ryder?"
Orlando was stunned and said, "What? No one is coming to rescue Ryder Clark!"
Virgil slapped him again. "Tell me the truth!"
Orlando looked aggrieved. "I'm telling the truth. I'm not even close to Ryder; we're not friends. I brought my buddies here to kidnap him!"
Virgil's eye twitched.
He picked up the dagger and stabbed it into Orlando's thigh, gritting his teeth. "You can insult me, but don't insult my intelligence!"
Orlando clutched his thigh, tears streaming down. He felt utterly wronged!
"I swear, if I'm lying, I'll go to hell! If you don't believe me, you can let me talk to Ryder. He definitely doesn't know me!"
"Fine! You just won't give up. Once you're exposed, I'll make you pay for my dead buddies!"
With that, Virgil grabbed Orlando by the collar and dragged him to the nearby wooden house!
"Ryder! Look who I brought in for you?" Virgil sneered as he pushed open the wooden house door!
But what he saw was an empty room!
The ropes were thrown aside!
The window was broken, and the wind was blowing in from outside!
"Damn it! He escaped!" Virgil tossed Orlando aside and immediately ran to the wooden window to look outside!
He saw Ryder and Barbara already running for a distance towards the back mountain! "Blind! Get over here and shoot! Don't let them escape!"
The one-eyed man quickly ran over, loaded the gun, and aimed!
At this moment, Ryder, who was running away, sensed danger behind him and turned his head to look!
His face changed!
In the next instant, the one-eyed man pulled the trigger!
"Watch out!" At the critical moment, Ryder pulled Barbara!
The bullet missed Barbara, flying past Ryder's waist!
He felt a sharp pain!
But Ryder didn't dare to stop; he grabbed Barbara's hand and continued to run forward!
They quickly dashed into the forest of the back mountain, disappearing from Virgil and the one-eyed man's sight!
"Fuck!" Virgil punched the wall hard! He was frustrated and anxious!
If Sawyer came back and found out Ryder had escaped, he would definitely be furious!
Thinking of this, Virgil kicked Orlando on the ground. "Damn it! It's all your fault that Ryder escaped, and you still say you're not his friend?"
Orlando's face was full of tears. He felt extremely wronged!
