Chapter 271 Murder to Silence Witnesses?
After Ava finished speaking, the crowd erupted into a frenzy.
“It really was a ship!”
“He’s Clarissa’s boyfriend. Why would he be interested in a woman who looks like a prostitute? Even if she threw herself at him, he would not want her.”
“We all misunderstood him!”
Thank goodness for the truth serum, otherwise he would never have been able to clear his name.”
The murmurs of the crowd made Wesley’s face darken.
He had failed
His plan to ruin Osborne and turn him into a laughingstock in Skyefall had failed because of Ava’s confession.
He was furious but had no way out.
Who would have thought that Osborne could get his hands on the Draco Group’s truth serum?
“Damn it!”
Wesley cursed under his breath, glancing at Blake with a cold, murderous look.
He thought, “Blake had to die!
I could not let Blake speak, or my entire scheme would be exposed,”
With that thought, Wesley signaled a bodyguard.
The bodyguard understood immediately, his eyes flashing coldly as he secretly aimed his gun at Blake’s head and disengaged the safety. Blake, under the influence of the truth serum, would not be able to dodge the bullet.
Bang!
The sudden gunshot startled everyone, causing a
a commotion.
But Osborne remained unfazed.
Osborne had anticipated that Wesley would try to silence Blake and had already activated his Satan’s Eye, keeping Wesley under close watch
The exchange of glances between Wesley and the bodyguard did not escape Osborne’s notice.
Osborne had already locked onto the bodyguard.
When the bodyguard fired, Osborne smirked and slightly shifted his gaze, causing the bullet to deviate from its path. Instead of piercing Blake’s head, it only struck his shoulder.
Despite his dazed state, the intense pain made Blake scream
Wesley initially smirked, thinking he had succeeded.
He shouted, “Everyone, calm down! It was just a misfire! One of my men made a mistake, there is no need to panic!”
However, his voice soon froze when he realized Blake was not dead, only wounded in the shoulder,
He looked furiously at the bodyguard.
The bodyguard, equally bewildered, knew he had nimed at Blake’s head. At such close range, missing was impossible given his marksmanship.
Yet, the bullet had only hit Blake’s shoulder,
He gritted his teeth and wanted to shoot again, but Osborne stepped in front of him.
Cubone smiled slightly and grabbed the bodyguard’s wrist, causing excruciating pain and forcing him to drop the weapon.
At that moment,
Clarissa’s bodyguards moved, surrounding Blake and blocking any further attempts to shoot him
When Wesley saw this, he became extremely angry.
Osborne faced Wesley, unirking, “Wesley, your bodyguard tried to kill Blake? Were you trying to silence him? Are you afraid of the truth he might reveal?”
Wesley’s face turned even darker, clenching his fists.
“Osborne, I do not know what you are talking about! Blake is my guest, why would I kill him? Why would I fear anything he has to say?
“It was just a misfire, a mistake!TM
“Really?”
Osborne laughed coldly. “Why do I not give your bodyguard a dose of truth serum? Let’s see if it was really a mistake or if he was following your orders to silence Blake?”
Wesley’s expression turned to shock
Osborne meered, “What is wrong? Afraid? Do not worry, truth serum is expensive. I would not waste it on a useless pawn like him.”
“You!”
Wesley clenched his fists tightly
Osborne ignored him and strode towards Blake,
“Blake, tell me, who sent you to frame me
Blake said blankly, “It is Wesley!
“Wesley orchestrated everything, telling me to set this trap to ruin you and make you a laughingstock in Skyefall.”
The crowd erupted unce more.
“It was Wesley!”
“Oh my god, is this not like the pot calling the kettle black?”
Everyone’s
gaze towards Wesley turned strange.
Wesley’s face was now as dark as ink
“Nonsense!”
Wesley shouted, “You are slandering mat Osborne, did you set this up? Did you plan this to frame me? This is a conspimey against me!
“The so–called truth see you gave him is not real!
“He is still conscious and slandering me on your orders!”
Osborne laughed coldly, “Wesley, it seems you are still not giving up.”
He then asked Blake, “Tell me, what is Wesley’s relationship with the Scarlet Gang?”
Blake immediately answered, “The biggest financial backer of the Scarlet Gong is the Ashford family. Wesley is the contact person. Thanks to Wesley’s support, the Scarlet Gang has grown, monopolizing the prostitution business in Mayby City.
“Wesley also suggested we capture houseless women and even kidnap respectable women, forcing them into prostitution to make money “Wesley is a hypocritical demon!”
