"Hmph, what are you so snobbish about? You are just a live-in son-in-law. What if you had an impressive brother? Would you dare to touch me? Furthermore, if the Voss wish to murder you, it will be a piece of cake!" Gudrich shouted.
Dylan lunged forward, slapping Gudrich on the lips. "How dare you show such arrogance in front of Ethan? "I am going to hit you!" How dare he threaten Ethan? He must have a death wish! This person is brainless!
Dylan's quick smack caught Gudrich off guard. He'd never been hit in the face, especially not by a good-for-nothing sidekick!
Gudrich was outraged and wished he could kill them right away! Unfortunately, the expert he recruited had a crippled hand and could not do anything to help him avenge his son.
"How dare you beat up the future heir of the Voss family! There is no need for your family to exist anymore! You have to mark my word!"
He expected Ethan to be careful and scared, but he laughed calmly after hearing his comments. "Do as you wish. But you're only throwing your weight around because of your family's status. Do you believe the Voss family is important? If your family is destroyed, do you believe you have the right to be that arrogant to me? You should wake up from your dream."
"Haha, you intend to destroy the Voss family? You can keep dreaming! Even the wealthiest guy in the county would never try to suggest that he could harm my family, let alone a loser like you!" Gudrich looked at Ethan as if he were foolish.
Ethan grinned, unwilling to talk further.
The Voss family was insignificant to him.
It was easy for him to destroy the Voss family. To him, they are like ants that can be crushed at any time.
Ethan was ready to depart with Anastasia in his arms when Gudrich suddenly pulled out an automatic handgun and leveled the muzzle directly at him.
"Like I said, if you dare to leave this place, I will kill you right away!" Put her down. "Or else don't blame me for pulling the trigger!" Gudrich shouted, appearing hysterical.
His aim for today was to avenge his son by making Ethan see Anastasia being defiled. He would only let them depart once he had accomplished his mission!
Besides, Dylan had just slapped him!
How could Gudrich Voss take such an insult?! Never in his life that he was slapped!
He had nothing to fear now that he had his pistol.
Even if Ethan and Dylan were skilled fighters, they would not be faster than a bullet.
Ethan was rather annoyed at this point. This man is stupid and brainless in his eyes.
Because Anastasia was safe, he intended to lighten Gudrich Voss' penalty. However, he had not expected him to be so ignorant. I'm not going to be merciful to him because he wants to die!
Ethan quickly glimpsed at Gudrich's automatic pistol but seemed unconcerned. "Do you think you can shoot me with that tiny pistol? Hah!"
Ethan's dismissive demeanor upset Gudrich even more.
Gudrich held up the revolver and asked angrily, "What are you pretending for? I do not believe you can avoid a bullet! If you put that woman down and kneel before me, I might consider offering you a way out. Otherwise, this pistol will kill all three of you! I've been in gangs for a long time, so it's not like I've never killed somebody!"
Gudrich was threatening him.
Ethan remained unmoved. "If you have what it takes, you can try to shoot me. If you can't murder me, all the Voss family members will perish beside you from today onwards!"
Ethan's tone was full of icy, murderous purpose, and the temperature surrounding him dropped dramatically.
Ethan could not stand the fact that Gudrich continuously attempted to violate Anastasia in front of him. This guy has a death wish.
"Great! I gave you a chance. "You are the one who wants to die!" Gudrich tightened his teeth with a threatening grimace. He raised the pistol and was about to pull the trigger, shooting Ethan.
"Wait! "Don't shoot." Noah, the strong man standing to the side, abruptly interrupted. He stared at Ethan with anxiety and attempted to stop Gudrich.
"What? Do you wish to betray me? Do not forget. "I paid you to be here, even though you were completely useless!" Gudrich barked, staring at Noah with flaming eyes.
Now, he wanted to kill Ethan; everyone who prevented him would be his adversary!
"No, you cannot kill him at all! Do you believe a gun is invincible? You will not even hit him. And after you shoot, he will not let you go. He will not let me go either. "I do not want to die here!" Noah exclaimed with a frown.
"Hmph, I can't believe that! You're a useless good-for-nothing, and he's simply pretending to be powerful, but you're terrified. You are such a coward! Get lost. "I must kill him!" Gudrich screamed angrily.
Noah shook his head regrettably. "Since you insist on ignoring my advice, don't blame me then."
Before Noah could finish responding, he raced at Gudrich and strangled him from behind with his uninjured left hand.
"W-what are you doing!?!" Gudrich went into a panic. He did not anticipate Noah to bite the hand that fed him!
Simultaneously, Ethan and Dylan were astonished.
"Like I said, all I want is to live. If you had shot, they would not have let me leave. If you refuse to follow my counsel, I'll have to murder you first!" Noah strengthened his grasp on Gudrich's neck, causing him to cough and his eyes to roll back.
Gudrich's heart raced with panic at the thought of death. He didn't care about avenging himself or regaining his pride right now. He only wanted to survive!
"Stop... I... I will listen... to you..." Gudrich strained to speak a few words in a muted tone.
Noah felt a tingle on his wrist and subconsciously let go of Gudrich.
He looked over in panic, only to see Ethan staring at them straight-faced and Dylan fumbling with the pistol.
Dylan had taken the revolver from Gudrich's fingers in an instant. Even Noah didn't notice how he moved! Such speed!
Noah had no idea what hit his wrist, either... In short, despite his keen vision, he needed a clear view.
This could only indicate Dylan's combat abilities were significantly superior to his own!
If they truly meant to kill him, he would never be able to escape!
After narrowly escaping death, Gudrich's legs and feet became lifeless, and he dropped onto the ground, covering his neck and gasping heavily.
The threat of death had terrified him! His mind went blank!
