Chapter 1181 The Real Hunter
“You truly have the demeanor of a great leader, Mr. Cook, unlike some people... Even though they're also ministers, why is there such a huge difference?”
Ashlyn's smile was enchanting. Suddenly, she pulled out her silver pistol, twirling it in her hand.
With a click, she opened the magazine, and all six bullets inside clattered onto the table.
She picked up one of them, then loaded it into the pistol. She fiddled with the magazine, making it rattle.
Everyone was astounded as they watched her every move.
They didn't understand what she really wanted to do.
Once she had finished all of this, she looked at Herald with a smirk. Her cool voice echoed in the vast conference room as she said, “How about this? Let's make things more exciting. Now that your King of Gambling has lost to me, the ownership of the little island should naturally be transferred to Section Six. But you guys are unhappy about it. How about... we play a dangerous game? This pistol has only one bullet. If you point this gun at your own head, Mr. Cook, and you don't die, the island will be ours. If you're unfortunate enough to get shot, then we won't claim the island. What do you think? Let's leave it to fate and entrust everything to the heavens.”
Sloan immediately roared in anger, “You're going too far, woman! You're basically sending Mr. Cook to his death! Mr. Cook, don't agree to her demands!”
Ashlyn's lips curled up slightly, “Mr. Lacey, haven't you noticed something?”
“What?”
“The decision-making power is in my hands, not in the hands of Mr. Cook.”
Sloan stiffened, his features twisted as he stared intently at Ashlyn.
This woman's nothing less than a devil.
He deeply regretted messing with Section Six the moment he walked through the door.
Now retribution had arrived.
If anything were to happen to Herald, the President would never let him off the hook.
Herald had never imagined that one day he would be driven to such a state by a woman.
His eyes were firmly locked onto Ashlyn. She seemed like a supernatural entity, so eye-catching and so heart-stirring.
He couldn't help but take a deep breath.
“I'll bet.”
“Mr. Cook!”
“Mr. Cook!”
Leroy was shocked, as were the others. Everyone simultaneously cried out in alarm, trying to stop him from making this insane bet.
They stared intently at him and Ashlyn.
Only Lucas was unfazed. He didn't even blink and his eyelashes didn't flutter.
Leroy said to him, “Mr. Nolan, isn't this a bit too much? This really is a bit inappropriate, isn't it?”
He looked at Lucas worriedly. To his sorrow and despair, he realized that Lucas seemed to have no intention of stopping Ashlyn, this madwoman.
Could it be...
His breath hitched. He stared at Lucas with a hint of fear.
Could it be that this man...
Lucas sat there expressionlessly for a very long time. Eventually, he slowly raised his head to look at Leroy. His calm demeanor made it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
“She has always had a bit of a temper. Usually, I have to listen to her as well.”
Lucas' voice, devoid of any emotions, sent chills down everyone's spine.
What does he mean by that?
For the first time, the people present discovered a fact that left them shocked and terrified.
This woman appears to be influencing Lucas' thoughts. Lucas has to listen to her too. Who exactly is in charge here at Section Six? Or could it be that this woman is even more terrifying than Lucas?
Sloan began sweating on his forehead.
He rolled up his sleeve and wiped his sweat. Who on earth have we upset this time?
“You invited us from Section Six to help you resolve the new energy issue, and look what's going on now? You don't take Section Six seriously at all. The game has started, and it's not something you can end just because you say so, understand?” Ashlyn drawled. She was the real hunter of this hunt since the beginning.
