When those six people heard what John said, they looked at each other not knowing how to react.
After a couple of minutes had passed and John realized that nobody seems to want to take any action, he decided to put more pressure on them by saying "Whether it is you people or not, the thing is that I intend for the Cold Heart gang to have a new boss today and all I want is for someone who is brave and courageous enough to deal with Brother Song and be loyal to me. Don't tell me that all of you are so loyal to him to the point of dying with him? It doesn't have to be that way, all you have to do is to get rid of him. You have two minutes to think it, after two minutes you won't have this opportunity again. You don't have to die with him you know, so think wisely"
After hearing what John said, some of these people attitudes began to wavered, "yes they don't have to die with Brother Song. It was Brother Song who offended John and not them and if John want to deal with Brother Song then they shouldn't be included. It should be Brother Song's fault for offending someone he shouldn't have offended", some of them thought so to themselves.
But the issue is that even though they thought so and their minds had wavered, yet they were still reluctant, nobody wanted to make the first move. They were looking at each other waiting to see who would take the first step.
"One more minute" John announced calmly. John's voice put more pressure on them.
After some time as John was about to say something again, he was interrupted by a loud voice.
"I'm willing to do it"
"I'm willing to do it"
Two voices shouted at the same time interrupting John.
When John heard what the two people said, he calmly nodded at them and then suddenly smiled provocatively at Brother Song and said "How do you feel seeing that the people you claimed to trust with your life and so was so boastful of are the same ones who want to take your life?"
Brother Song face was flushed with anger and he shouted at the two people "you ungrateful bastards. I didn't know I was living with wolves in sheep's clothing. I treated you people like family and now you want to take my life. I will kill you"
One of the men who shouted sneered and said "Boss calm down and don't be selfish. You don't expect us to die with you right? at the end of the day we are just fighting for our lives too"
"Yes, yes, Boss he is right. Don't take this personal. At the end of the day if you want to blame someone then you can only blame yourself for offending someone you shouldn't have offended. Is your cross not ours, so don't expect us to carry it with you" The other guy who shouted also chimed in and said with a vicious expression.
After saying that he turned towards John and inquired again "Boss you said that if I deal with him then I can become the new boss right?"
When John heard what the guy said, he looked at James, and James looked at him too, after looking at James, he calmly nodded his head and said "yes I did. But the problem now is they are two of you, so how do we solve this?"
When second guy heard what John said, he remained quiet and started thinking. All of a sudden, he bend down and remove a dagger from his shoes and inserted it into his compatriot chest catching everyone by surprise. The guy Who was being stabbed opened his eyes widely and looked at his compatriot in horror while falling down.
When the guy saw his compatriot fell down, he bent down and whispered in his ears "this is my opportunity to become the new leader and I will not allow anyone to take this chance away from me. You should blame for yourself for being unlucky by standing in my way".
Everyone looked at the guy in shock at his suddenly movement.
John shuddered and was consumed by fear when he saw this scene in front of him. This was the first time that he saw someone die in front of him and he was finding it hard to keep his emotions in check. Realizing where he was, he decided not to show any fear and behave as if he was in control and therefore he didn't really show any reaction on his face and therefore calmed down after some time.
But this subtle of John facial fluctuations was Captured byJames, and therefore realized that this must be his first time experiencing such a gruesome scene but he decided to remain quiet for the time being since he didn't want to make John looked inexperienced in front of these people.
"Boss look now, that problem has been handled" the man said why pointing at his dead compatriot on the floor.
John just nodded and looked at him with a blank expression and said "I can see that you are very decisive, I like people like you. What's your name?"
"Leon, Boss" The guy name Leon quickly responded. Leon breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that John like how decisive he was, this is because he thought that John was going to blame him for acting without his permission.
"Good, Leon right? Go ahead and complete the final step, that's the only thing stopping you from attaining your dream of becoming the next leader" John said to Leon while pointing at Brother Song.
"No, no, please let me go. I will never offend you again, I will be your dog. Please don't kill me". Brother Song begged desperately but John turned a deaf ear to him.
When Leon heard What John said, he glared at Brother Song Viciously and kept repeating in his mind "anyone who stand in my mind must be dealt with". After said that he removed the dagger from the death's man chest and approached Brother Song slowly with the dagger still dripping with blood.
He was so concentrated on becoming the new leader to the extent that he didn't notice that John was taking a video of him.
"So you really want to kill me you ungrateful bastard. I was the one who made you who you are today and is this how you want to repay me? You will die a worse death than me" Brother Song screamed at Leon and started retreating in fear.
Leon smile coldly and said "No problem but you will die before me. Is unfortunate that you won't be there to see me becoming the new leader. How do you feel seeing everything that you have worked hard for end up in my hands? Oh sorry, you won't get to see that" Leon laughed and taunt Brother Song.
"You bastard, my soul won't let you live in peace" Brother song shouted.
"Then I will be waiting for your soul to come to me" Leon said.
After saying that, Leon didn't give him anymore chance to speak and went ahead to stabbed him repeatedly.
"You..." Brother Song pointed at Leon and couldn't come out with the next word. Until he was dying, he still couldn't believe that his own people will kill him. He had imagined retiring in his old age or die in the hands of his enemies but no, he died in the hands of one of his trusted people.
There was a pin drop silence after Leon was done stabbing Brother Song. Brother Song remaining four trusted aides started shivering and looked at Leon in horror not believing that he actually Stabbed their boss.
