Chapter 4

Luke was very smart, and after realizing how dangerous my situation was, he didn’t try to rescue me recklessly.

Until he left, he didn’t reveal any flaws.

Vivian didn’t know I had made contact with the police and continued teaching me the details of impersonating Victor Kane, so my chance of survival grew a little bigger.

As long as I left the Crown Hotel and made it to the police station, I could live.

But right now, I had no way to leave.

Last night, someone had tried to send a message to the Strategist, and he had been discovered immediately.

Before I even finished taking a piss, he had turned into a corpse.

I didn’t dare take the risk.

I could only wait to be rescued.

Luke and the others had three cops and two guns, so they would definitely come save me, right?

I waited with my heart full of hope.

But until night fell, and then until dawn came again, they never appeared.

Even worse, Vivian said the fifty bandits had arrived early.

They had already reached the town and were hiding in an abandoned mining factory, demanding to see their boss, Victor Kane.

Vivian took me there.

“Remember, you can only live if you are Victor Kane, so don’t fantasize about anyone saving you.”

“Every single one of them has killed before, and every one of them is more vicious than I am.”

“If you betray me, maybe you can get me killed, but you will definitely die before I do.”

As she spoke, Vivian pressed her whole body against me.

“And if the plan succeeds, you won’t just get money.”

“When you first saw me, didn’t you want to sleep with me?”

Thinking of the dirty jokes I had made to Vivian before I knew who she really was, I felt an uncontrollable chill spread through my body.

Aside from nodding and promising loyalty, I didn’t dare say anything else.

When we reached the abandoned mining factory, I smelled a suffocating odor from far away.

It was an indescribable stench made of sweat, blood, rust, and all kinds of other things mixed together.

Bang!

A sudden gunshot made my legs tremble in fear.

Then loud laughter came from inside the factory. “Buy medicine?”

“Who the fuck is buying medicine for a cripple?”

“If you die, the rest of us get more money, and I’d love it if you just dropped dead from illness.”

Bang!

Bang!

Two more gunshots rang out.

“Anybody else sick?”

“Anybody else want medicine?”
