Chapter 2590: Chapter 2590: The First Unlucky Victim
Ruan Tianling’s face was sinister, and he sneered disdainfully.
We don’t know who will kill whom!
The head bodyguard relayed his words, and he immediately instructed them to start eating!
"You must eat all the food given today! Whoever doesn’t eat will be killed!"
Someone quickly picked up a knife and fork and started eating.
The others followed suit, picking up their utensils...
Only Jian Yufei, Ruan Tianling, and Nangong Yi didn’t eat.
The bodyguards didn’t force them.
Minutes later——
"Ah, my stomach hurts!" A man eating suddenly clutched his stomach, his face pale as he writhed in agony.
Before anyone else could react, he collapsed to the ground, vomited blood, and died.
"Azhong—Azhong—" Several stunned individuals went to check on him.
"He’s dead... there’s no pulse..."
"The food is poisoned!"
The others who ate were in disbelief.
The head bodyguard laughed, "Relax, you won’t come to harm. Didn’t I say earlier, only one person will die each day. That was the first unlucky soul!"
So the bodyguard’s words were true; they really intended to kill one person per day.
"You’re too much!" Nangong Wenhua slammed a palm on the table angrily.
"What is Nangong Xu playing at?! The family rules clearly prohibit internal conflict, yet he’s really dared to act against us!"
"Call Nangong Xu here, let him come and explain himself!"
"You killed Azhong and will kill us too. You won’t let us go..."
They were both angry and terrified.
They assumed Nangong Xu wouldn’t actually kill them, only to realize he truly followed through.
Today it was Azhong; tomorrow it could very well be them.
In truth, they too fearfully realized they were doomed, regardless.
Nangong Xu already killed someone; he won’t spare them; he won’t let them leave alive.
Given this situation, why follow his orders when they could unite and fight for survival.
The bodyguards quickly assessed their thoughts.
"The BOSS said if you accomplish either condition, your lives will be spared; he keeps his word.
Moreover, the BOSS doesn’t even consider you a threat; all of the Nangong Family isn’t his match.
By sparing your lives, he’s completely unconcerned about retaliation.
So here’s the truth; the BOSS doesn’t fear even ten Nangong Families!"
Several men stared in astonishment.
Nangong Xu was that powerful already?
The bodyguard sneered, "Therefore, your only chance to survive now is to obey. Otherwise..."
He glanced at Azhong on the ground.
"That’s what awaits you."
Someone lamented bitterly, "How can Nangong Xu do this... we are family, how can he be so cruel... how can he kill us so easily..."
"Exactly, we’re innocent, he can’t treat us like this."
The bodyguard smirked sarcastically, "Everyone here has dirty hands. Who among you is truly innocent?"
Jian Yufei deeply understood.
Even she had killed two people, let alone them.
Indeed, none of them was truly good, including herself.
Once on this path, who would remain kind; kindness only leads to self-destruction.
"But we and Nangong Xu are family..."
"Precisely. Even if he wants us to kill them, he shouldn’t have killed Azhong without giving him a chance."
