Kogar's body was firmly pressed against the conference table.
He looked at the dark barrel of the gun, his eyes betraying a hint of fear.
He gritted his teeth, and the corner of his eye glanced at the bodyguard beside him. The burly man was already lying on the ground, with a bruise visible on his temple, clearly unconscious.
Honestly, he didn't think Jonas would dare to shoot... Regardless of him being the representative of the board now, even if he wasn't representing the board this time, as the one responsible for overseeing the affairs of the Mysterium District, he wasn't someone Jonas could just kill at will.
If he died here, the board would definitely pursue it to the end. It wouldn't just be a matter of depriving him of his inheritance rights.
He comforted himself that Jonas wouldn't do something irrational like this, but facing the dark barrel of the gun, he couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy.
Taking a deep breath, Kogar forced himself to speak calmly:
"I'm here to negotiate, there's no need for things to escalate like this... Put the gun away, and we can pretend like nothing ever happened."
Jonas' behavior was indeed rather abnormal, which left Kogar feeling uncertain.
He cursed Jonas in his heart for being a madman while trying to maintain his composure and advise him to calm down.
"Throughout, Mr. Kogar has failed to ascertain his position," Jonas's voice remained calm, as if he wasn't the one who had just flipped the table.
"I've always preferred to abide by the rules and detest rule-breakers..."
He chuckled involuntarily, a hint of mockery in his smile:
"The board wants the chip, they could have exchanged it with the corresponding chips... But why would you think that I would willingly hand over something?"
He said, the muzzle already against Kogar's forehead.
"Wait, wait! If you don't want to hand over the chip, we can discuss it later..."
Sensing Jonas' intent, Kogar's expression became visibly flustered. He spoke:
"The board's intention was to teach you a lesson, and besides, this thing is a hot potato in your hands..."
- Bang.
Before he could finish, a gunshot rang out, interrupting him.
Jonas pulled the trigger, but the gun shifted slightly, piercing through the man's thigh.
Kogar groaned in pain, instinctively reaching for his wounded leg, but his body was restrained. He trembled all over, lifted his head, and looked at Jonas with a hint of resentment.
"It seems like you think I'm a fool who knows nothing..."
Jonas watched the smoke dissipate into the air, his expression unchanged. He spoke, slightly puzzled:
"Mr. Kogar, do you think I'm easy to deceive?"
Kogar, enduring the excruciating pain in his leg, lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and spoke with difficulty:
"I'm just representing the board's intentions, I don't have any ill will towards you..."
Though he said this, in the unseen corners of his mind, Kogar's eyes were filled with crazy resentment and anger towards Jonas, reaching unprecedented heights.
- When I return to the Mysterium District, I will find someone to dismantle his legs in front of him. I will kill this woman who is pressing me down right in front of him. Damn waste!
While cursing in his heart, Kogar spoke with great restraint and suppression:
"The board is already very dissatisfied with your behavior, but I can speak for you. Put down the gun, and I'll help you deal with the aftermath of this matter. After all, you don't want to miss out on joining the board..."
- Bang.
Before he could finish his words, another gunshot, hitting Kogar's other leg.
"Uh..."
Kogar hadn't expected that the other party would continue to shoot. He groaned in pain, then collapsed on the table, starting to breathe heavily.
Jonas' tone remained unchanged, as if he were explaining something mundane:
"I say something, and you answer. Understood?"
Hearing this, Kogar's heart was completely dominated by fear.
This was a lunatic, through and through!
But now, his life was in the hands of the other party. Kogar regretted not bringing more bodyguards. He had thought it would be a very easy task to solve, and he could also embarrass the other party in passing. Who would have thought it would develop into this situation?
"I... I understand."
Kogar's voice trembled slightly as he forced out these words through his gritted teeth.
Jonas sat down, looking at the man in front of him with a helpless smile, slightly puzzled:
"Since you know the chip is in my hands, why didn't you consider how I could have taken something from the Nason Consortium?"
Kogar didn't answer, just gasping, trying to relieve the intense pain in his legs.
"From the beginning, I guessed that after the chip fell into my hands, you fools from the board would come to interfere..."
Jonas said, with a hint of sigh:
"But I didn't expect you to be so stupid...trying to snatch things directly from my hands."
"This is just the board's mission... It has nothing to do with me.."
Kogar, though gritting his teeth, spoke with some difficulty.
"It's true that it has nothing to do with you, but I don't like you very much."
Jonas smiled and said:
"Do you remember the question I asked you at the beginning?"
- Do you think, I dare not kill you?
The words of Jonas floated in Kogar's mind, as if sensing something, his eyes gradually filled with fear.
Struggling to lift his head, before he could speak, the dark barrel of the gun appeared in front of him once again.
"Now, the answer is here."
Without hesitation, without buffering time, Jonas pulled the trigger.
The bullet pierced through his head, bringing out a large spray of blood.
Kogar's body slumped softly onto the table.
The conference room fell into silence.
After a moment, Jonas felt a little bored and placed the gun aside.
And Miss Aifel, who had been pressing on Kogar's body, also released his corpse.
Looking at the slightly chaotic conference room caused by his actions, Jonas couldn't help but click his tongue.
- Tsk, I played a little too big by accident.
