Chapter 712
Upon seeing that, Pete sneered, “There’s no hurry. All of you will die today. However… I can give you another chance to choose based on our long-standing partnership with the Fox family. Do you choose to apologize to Sabrina and cripple your arms, or do you choose to take a bullet from me?”
Melody pulled Spencer away and smiled. “Looks like we don’t have much to talk about.”
Melody suddenly rushed toward Pete at the moment she finished her words.
Pete was shocked. He did not expect Melody to be so fearless. He immediately pulled the trigger and fired at Melody.
However, when he pulled the trigger, he realized he had forgotten to pull the safety of the pistol. He was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead, and then he immediately pulled the safety.
However, a cold dagger was pressed against Pete’s neck before he could pull the safety and fire again.
“Throw the pistol to the ground!” said Melody.
Her tone was unquestionable, and the cold touch on Pete’s neck made him instantly stiffen.
“Honey… don’t move. Listen to her…” said Trisha.
Trisha was so frightened that her limbs were trembling. Sabrina could not speak, but her eyes were filled with fear and anger.
Sabrina was scared she would be the next to be stabbed in the neck by the dagger. At the same time, she hated Melody for having such powerful skills, causing them to be completely passive.
Melody tightened her grip and warned expressionlessly, “I’ll count to three. Throw away your pistol immediately. Three, two…”
Pete gritted his teeth and threw away the pistol in his hand.
Number Spencer saw that and quickly ran forward to pick up the pistol from the ground.
After a quick check, he looked up at Melody and said, “Miss Fox, the pistol is fully loaded.”
In other words, Pete did intend to take their lives just now, not to intimidate them.
A cold glint flashed across Melody’s eyes.
Melody was not 100% sure she could outrun a bullet although she moved fast.
If it weren’t for Pete’s lack of experience in shooting and forgetting to pull the safety, she would have died under his pistol.
Sure enough, being soft-hearted to your enemies was equivalent to being ruthless to yourself.
Melody removed the dagger and threw Pete to Spencer. “Check if he’s still armed.”
Then Melody grabbed Trisha, who was shivering with fear, and quickly checked her clothes. She kicked Trisha directly in the back of her leg when she saw no threat.
“Ah!” With a scream, Trisha knelt heavily on the ground. She did not have the strength to stand up.
Pete’s situation was not much better than Trisha’s.
Spencer took out a retractable dagger from his other pocket and pinned Pete to the ground with a grappling move, making him unable to move.
“Let me go!” Pete furiously said. “I’m the chairman of the Webb Group! The Fox family pissed me off, and you will never get away with it! I will make you pay for the shame I have suffered today!”
Melody said calmly, “I’m afraid you won’t have the chance.” “Russell Fox!” Pete shouted Russell’s name. “Hurry up and let her go of me! Otherwise, I’ll make the Justalion Group go bankrupt in minutes!”
Russell was scared out of his wits at the door.
Although the Webb family had started in the cloth business, they still had countless industries under the Webb Group. The best they did was real estate. Many of the lands in the factories of the Justalion Group belonged to the Webb Group.
It was only a matter of minutes before the Webb family made the Justalion Group go bankrupt.
Russell tried his best to calm down and ordered Melody loudly.
“Melody Fox, are you crazy? Let go of Mr. Webb and Mrs. Webb!”
“It is none of your business. Shut up!”
Melody glanced at Russell coldly and took out her phone to make a call.
“Hello? The Webb family is looking for trouble with me again. I don’t want to see them anymore.”
“Okay,” said the man on the other end of the line. Then he quickly hung up.
Melody put her phone in her pocket and looked coldly at Pete.
“Unfortunately, you’ve pissed me off this time.”
Pete sneered and said arrogantly, “Stop pretending! You? What can you do to us? If you dare to attack me today, I’ll guarantee you don’t live to see tomorrow!”
Melody chuckled and said, “Who’s going to attack you? Killing people like you will only get my hands dirty.” Pete frowned. “What do you want?”
“Destroy what you’re most proud of, of course. The Webb Group, right? Just wait. Your company will soon go bankrupt.”
Pete almost burst into tears from laughing.
“Even Russell can only lick my shoes. Who are you to say such things to capital? If you have the ability, let the Webb Group go bankrupt! If you do it, I’ll bow and apologize to you.”
Melody’s lips curled into a faint smile.
“Then I’ll wait for you to bow and apologize to me, good boy.”
“You…”
Pete’s expression darkened as he called out Russell’s name again.
“Russell Fox! Are you deaf? Get your crazy daughter to let go of me immediately! Otherwise, I’ll teach you a lesson!” Russell was about to persuade Melody again when he suddenly thought of something.
‘Melody can not bankrupt the Webb Group, but the man behind her can…’
With that in mind, Russell’s words that were about to slip out of his mouth suddenly choked on his throat.
Although Russell did not know if that person would do as Melody said, Pete’s attitude angered Russell.
Russell fell into a deep silence for a moment.
Pete became even angrier when he saw Russell was silent.
Just as he was about to curse, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.
Melody said calmly, “Let him answer it.”
“Yes!” Number Spencer answered and took out the phone from Pete’s pocket. The caller ID showed that it was the
vice president of Pete’s company.
Number Spencer glanced at it, then pressed the phone to Pete’s ear.
What the vice president said on the other end of the line was unknown, but Pete’s look suddenly became shocked. Then, it turned from shock to disbelief and gradually became panic, despair, and collapse.
Melody observed Pete’s expression. She raised her eyebrows and said, “Hang up.”
“Yes!”
Spencer took the phone and hung up.
Pete, who had just been arrogant, began to sweat. Without needing Spencer to restrain him, he collapsed to the ground.
“Honey?” Trisha asked in shock, “What’s wrong? What happened? Who called you?”
Pete couldn’t hear anything at all. His mind kept replaying the last sentence said by the vice president of his company
“Our company is bankrupt.”
Bankruptcy…
Unexpectedly…
Really…
It was Bankrupt!
