Chapter 361 Chocolate Grenade!
This sentence, which was hard to tell if it was a joke, coming from Ryder's mouth, scared the group of people opposite him pale!
The group of burly men who had just rushed in with fierce and unfriendly expressions.
Their hands holding machetes trembled slightly as they took an involuntary step back.
Although they were good friends with Kenneth and had been following him for many years.
But all of this was far less important than their lives!
Living a luxurious life every day, enjoying good food, wine, and women, why risk their lives?
Moreover, their usual encounters were just some ordinary disputes involving steel pipes, wooden boards, and knives!
This high-explosive grenade would kill everyone!
Even Brian, who was usually calm, had a layer of sweat on his forehead.
Despite his strength, he was not completely sure he could survive a high-explosive grenade attack unhurt, especially while needing to guard Mark!
Only Mark showed horror in his eyes when Ryder took out the grenade.
But it was only a few seconds before he quickly calmed down!
He took a cigar out of his pocket and lit it.
Taking a puff, he said indifferently with drooping eyes, "I have no last words. If Mr. Clark wants to go down together, please go ahead!"
Hearing this, before Ryder could say anything, Sandra nervously shouted, "Ryder, wait! Just wait, don't be impulsive! Let's talk this out!"
After shouting, she whispered to Mark, "Mr. Davis, don't go along with Ryder. He's a madman, he really can do something as crazy as going down together!"
Mark glanced at Sandra. "Are you so afraid of death?"
"I..."
Sandra instinctively wanted to answer that she was absolutely scared to die.
But for the sake of face, she could only bite the bullet and say against her will, "Of course, I'm not afraid of death. I just think Ryder's life isn't worth exchanging for so many of ours, we would suffer a huge loss!"
As soon as she said this, the group of burly men suddenly thought of something and echoed.
"Boss, Sandra makes sense! Ryder isn't worth us taking the risk, especially you taking the risk!"
"Exactly! If you get hurt, how can we face ourselves?"
"That's right, if Kenneth knew we didn't protect you well, he would definitely blame us!"
Listening to the crowd's chatter, Mark suddenly slammed the table angrily and scolded, "A bunch of cowards! Has fear already corroded your courage?"
This scolding made the chattering crowd shut their mouths in fright!
Mark's face was stern. "You all say you act for my benefit, but what schemes are you hiding in your hearts? Do you think I don't know? If you're afraid of death, you can leave now!"
Now, everyone lowered their heads, their faces flushed!
Despite their fear of death, they dared not leave. They were aware that provoking Mark's anger could lead to far worse outcomes.
Sandra also obediently shut her mouth!
Mark stared directly at Ryder, sneering, "Ryder, I know you have many tricks and aren't afraid of death, thinking that with just the two of you, you can take out so many of us, it's a win! But there's one thing you might not have considered!"
Ryder played with the grenade, raising an eyebrow. "Oh? What might that be?"
A trace of malice flashed in Mark's eyes as he said, "You might have forgotten your friends and family in Houston, your wife Sarah, your sister Ava, your high school classmate Lily, and so on!
Even if you blow me up today, I can still guarantee you that as long as I have friends alive, they will strongly retaliate against those people I just mentioned!
In the end, they will all go down to accompany you! So go ahead and detonate the grenade. I won't lose out!"
Saying this, Mark took a calm puff of his cigar, not looking like he was joking at all!
This attitude was very clear!
He informed Ryder that he must drop the grenade to peacefully accept his fate, ensuring the safety of his loved ones.
If Ryder chose to go down together, then none of his friends and family would survive!
Hearing this, Sandra secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thought, 'It turned out Mark had this hidden move! He even investigated everyone related to Ryder! He is Truly a cunning person! Turning passive into active!'
At this moment, Ryder squinted his eyes slightly, his tone gradually turning cold. "Family should not be involved. Are you sure you want to play this risky game?"
Mark exhaled a smoke ring, his expression unchanged. "Let's play this way, what can you do to me? Let me tell you, in all my years running a casino, I've concluded that once you're at the gambling table, winning is the priority, and doing anything without a bottom line to win is justified!"
"No bottom line."
Ryder murmured, his whole person seeming deflated!
But then, he suddenly twitched his finger and pulled the pin of the grenade!
At that moment, everyone was shocked!
They never expected Ryder to actually choose to die together!
"Mr. Davis, get down!"
Brian immediately rushed forward, hugging Mark and pressing him to the ground!
"Damn! This guy is serious!"
"Run! It's going to explode!"
A group of robust men were terrified, screaming and scattering in all directions!
Sandra's instinctive reaction was to stand up and run away.
But she tripped in her high heels and fell while wearing a long dress.
Her nose hit the ground, bleeding!
But in the face of life and death, she couldn't care about that, still trying to crawl away!
The whole room became very chaotic!
However, one second passed!
Five seconds passed!
Another ten seconds passed!
Finally, half a minute passed!
But there was no sound of an explosion!
Everyone couldn't help but feel puzzled, thinking, 'Could the grenade be defective?'
So one by one, they cautiously stood up and looked at Ryder!
What they saw almost made their eyes pop out!
Ryder hand-split the grenade and gave half to Rex, keeping the other half for himself.
He put it in his mouth, took a big bite, and smacked his lips. "Tastes great! Not greasy!"
Rex also nodded foolishly. "Delicious!"
Only then did they finally realize that what Ryder had taken out was not a grenade at all!
It was clearly a high-quality chocolate grenade!
No wonder it wasn't detected by the metal detector when they entered!
Their faces reddened, clearly embarrassed.
The chocolate grenade scared them, which was deeply humiliating!
Even Mark's face turned as dark as it could get!
Just as he was about to order Ryder to be chopped into pieces, Ryder's phone Whatsapp video call request sound rang.
