Chapter: 140
The assassins were fearless as they cut through flesh and knocked down cars.
“Edwin Hummer is such a despicable man! How dare he ambush us!” Ruth was shaken but furious.
“The corporate world is a battlefield. The moment a fight breaks out, things are bound to get messy.” Natasha responded calmly, this not being her first rodeo.
Ruth humphed angrily.
“He better pray that he never falls into my hands, or he’ll regret it!”
The sound of the battle was getting more heated outside the car as numbers from both parties dwindled.
Fortunately, despite winning in numbers, the assassins were still no match to the Harmon family’s men in terms of skills. Soon, they began losing the bloody battle, and many who hadn’t been killed chose to flee.
The battle finally ended when the last assassin fell to the ground with a thud.
More than half of Natasha’s men had been killed, but she and her sister were unharmed.
Dustin got out of the car and studied the bodies of the assassins. He realized that each of them had a snake-shaped tattoo on their body.
Ruth humphed furiously.
“Thank God our men are strong, or we’d be dead today thanks to Edwin Hummer!” Natasha then ordered her men, “Do a quick clean–up and let’s leave.”
They were still close to Edwin’s territory and she couldn’t be sure if he still had anything else up his sleeve, so it was best they leave as soon as possible.
As her men cleared the place, two MPVs with foreign license plates headed toward them and blocked their path.
“No way. Don’t tell me there’s more?” asked Ruth, annoyed. She watched intently as the car door opened and a dozen men dressed for battle got out of the car.
Leading them was a beautiful lady in her 30s. Besides her good looks, she also had a voluptuous figure that flaunted her curves as she walked, an air of authority following her wherever she went.
“Tilda?” Ruth exclaimed excitedly and rushed forward to greet her.
Everyone was relieved to see that backup had arrived.
“What happened?” Tilda Snider frowned when she saw the bodies littering the ground.
“They’re Edwin Hummer’s men! They tried to ambush us!” Ruth grumbled.
“He ambushed you? There’s no way this is a coincidence. No outsider knows about the route you are taking. so how could he have planted these people here in advance?”
“You’re right! How did he know we were going to take this route?” Ruth was puzzled.
“Tilda, do you mean to say there’s a mole among our people?” Natasha was quick to react.
“That’s right!” Tilda’s expression was grave.
“I have reason to believe someone has been selling us out!”
