Chapter 1089 Goodbye
Alec and Paul didn’t drink for long and soon left the bar. Alec went back early and waited for news. He had already sent out the message, and Evan would definitely take action. With such a huge bargaining chip in Alec’s hands, Evan wouldn’t sit still.
Night fell, and Trey Ulmer crouched in a corner. It was pitch black all around, and he was filled with despair. It had been a long time since he was caught, and he could no longer distinguish between day and night.
Even so, he still clenched his teeth and refused to expose Evan-he believed in his boss. He was confident that he would come to save him. It was this trust that kept him going until now. Otherwise, when he was being tortured by Blake before, he would have collapsed long ago.
Footsteps echoed in the darkness, and Trey immediately became alert.” Alec! What are you doing here? I told you, I won’t say anything.’ Even though he had not seen the person yet, Trey guessed it was Alec. After all, this was the man’s territory, and he was eager to get his confession. novelbin
However, the person merely walked closer until he reached the cell. Under the moonlight, Trey saw a person clad in black with a mask and a hat, and he couldn’t tell who it was.
“Who are you?’ Trey asked directly, feeling uneasy.
Maybe he was afraid that Trey would cause too much commotion. The person said, “Don’t make a sound. I’m here to save you.”
“Howard!” Although the person didn’t reveal his identity, Trey recognized his voice immediately. His eyes filled with tears in an instant. Evan had sent someone to save him! His days of suffering were finally over.
Howard could see the hope in Trey’s eyes, which made him unable to look directly at him. He took out his lock-picking tools from his bag and quickly opened the cell door.
“Trey, you’ve suffered a lot.”
“As long as Boss is fine, I’m willing to endure any hardship,” Trey said, elated. He hadn’t been abandoned, which meant a lot to him.
Conflicted, Howard looked at him. “Go quickly, don’t let anyone find you.”
Trey nodded and walked ahead. He didn’t want to stay there for a moment longer.
However, before he could leave the place, he noticed Howard picking up his gun through the shadow on the ground. Instinctively, he dodged to the side.
With a loud bang, a bullet was fired at him, but it didn’t hit him.
“Howard! You…’ Trey was shocked. If he hadn’t reacted in time, he would have died.
Howard looked guilty as he approached Trey slowly, who was hiding in the corner. “Trey, I have no choice. The boss won’t let you live, and I can’t keep you.”
“Why? I didn’t say anything!” Trey didn’t understand. He would understand if he said something he shouldn’t have and the boss wanted to kill him, but he hadn’t said anything. Wasn’t it too heartless to hurt him like this?
Howard smiled bitterly. “It doesn’t matter whether you said anything. It was already decided the moment you were caught.”
Trey understood, and he smiled too. So that was the true nature of his trustworthy boss. He trusted him, but the other person didn’t trust him at all.
“Goodbye, Trey. From now on, I will pray for you at this time every year,”
Howard sighed, approaching Trey.
Cornered, he had no chance to escape. Trey didn’t want to escape either. His hopes were destroyed, and he couldn’t accept it. He thought it might be better to just die.
While he wanted to die, Alec didn’t. At the moment when Howard was about to shoot, Alec fired first, and the bullet hit Howard’s shoulder, causing the gun in his hand to fall to the ground.
