Chapter 278 Death
Chapter 278 Death
"Duan, if you trust me, let me go now. Also, you need to put the Duan family on alert immediately." Theodore's face was solemn, and his previous playful and fearless look was swept away. "He must have kept some tricks up his sleeve, and this will bring disaster to the Duan family."
203 said: "I have checked thoroughly. Francois did not bring any personnel or weapons of mass destruction. I even cleaned up the dust on his feet when he entered the door."
"With Tongzi's father, things can be done quickly!" Zhao Ruoming sighed, and then cast his gaze on Theodore's face.
Theodore had already prepared to persuade Duan Hongji, but who would have thought that the other party would just nod so coldly: "No."
Even though he knew his words were sensational, if Duan Hongji really refused, Theodore was still furious: "Francois doesn't care whether this is China or France! Duan, don't be so conceited."
"You can go down." Duan Hongji said.
Theodore was stunned, and then he heard Duan Hongji say: "In exchange, you have to tell me everything about Francois first."
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Although Mr. Death sounds like an idiot, Zhao Ruoming still can't take it lightly.
"It's too late." Theodore frowned and said, "If I go down and fight him now, maybe the Duan family can be saved. I'll talk to you after I deal with him, okay?"
This second-year flavor was so strong that Zhao Ruoming laughed inexplicably. Theodore couldn't even beat Fu Dongshu's big bird. If Francois was really a death guard, Theodore would only be a serving dish.
"What are you laughing at?" Theodore frowned. "Do you think what I said is funny?"
"No." Duan Hongji coughed lightly, "You may not know that my second son is entertaining him in the reception room now."
"So what?" Theodore said irritably. Duan Cheng might be considered a smart man in the Duan family, but he was too naive. Or in other words, compared to Francois, everyone in the Duan family was a nobody.
If the Duan family was finished today, Francois would definitely kill Theodore here. Theodore was not trying to save the Duan family, but to save himself!
Duan Hongji said casually: "I believe in Lao Er. No matter whether the opponent is a god or the god of death, Lao Er still has the ability to delay for a while. You don't need to worry about it."
What blind confidence!
Theodore gritted his teeth and staggered toward the door, but was grabbed by Duan Hongji's arm!
The hand didn't seem to be very strong, but Theodore couldn't break free. He was silent for a moment, then looked at Duan Hongji and asked, "What do you mean?"
Duan Hongji mocked, "Well, Theodore, I might as well tell you that you are no better than a homeless stray dog. And I, Duan Hongji, am not a waste like your former enemies."
Duan Hongji threw Theodore onto the bed and said coldly, "I'm not discussing this with you, I'm informing you. Now, tell me everything about François."
If we continue to argue, we don't know how much time will be wasted. Theodore gritted his teeth... This is not France, and we need to maintain the reputation of the Mansfield family - of course, the death of Mr. Mansfield was so earth-shattering, it is still unclear whether this thing exists now. In short, there is no need to worry about covering up the family scandal.
Looking at Theodore's reaction, Zhao Ruoming was really curious now.
Anyone with eyes could see that Francois had come with bad intentions. But Theodore was no pushover either - who on earth was this Mr. Mansfield who could make Theodore so nervous?
Time was limited, so Theodore could only make his story short: "Francois is my seventh brother. He and I do not have the same mother, but we look exactly the same. This is simply a miracle. My father believed that this was a sign from God -"
Zhao Ruoming was shocked, not knowing whether he should be surprised that his half-brother looked like a copy and paste, or whether he should be surprised that a heavy-hearted buzzing immortal like old Mansfield would believe in God.
Theodore continued: "So Father took the two of us..."
Zhao Ruoming pricked up his ears - according to the laws of novels, this, could this be? I'm not sleepy anymore!
Theodore continued, "So my father always singled us out for comparison."
Hmm? That's it?
Zhao Ruoming looked away in disappointment. He had thought it was something explosive.
Theodore said with disgust: "I admit that I am inferior to François in every way. He is more ruthless and decisive than me, and I am convinced by him. But he should never, ever..."
Zhao Ruoming asked in confusion: "Shouldn't what?"
Theodore is already the best among the scum. What is something that Theodore cannot accept?
Theodore was silent for a moment, then said, "In order to compete within the family, I bribed François's confidants and installed surveillance cameras on them to keep track of François's movements."
This was how the Mansfield family's strife unfolded. Although the method was not so honorable, Theodore did not think it was dishonorable.
"One day, I remember it very clearly, it was the hottest day of that summer. Francois took a group of men to deal with a gang leader who was against the Mansfield family.
"The gang leader and his wife had seven children. Francois shot the gang leader in front of them, and then asked his wife with a smile which one she would choose if she could only save one of the seven children.
"The gang leader's wife hesitated for a long time and chose the youngest child. Then..."
Theodore closed his eyes, still feeling frightened when he thought of that scene.
"Then Francois had his men tie up the youngest child and said to the mother, 'Now, I want you to shoot the other six children yourself. For every child you kill, your most beloved youngest son can keep a part of his body. Hands, feet, head... As long as you kill the six little devils intact, this lucky man can live intact.'"
"And then..." Theodore paused and omitted this part, "In short, they are all dead."
"After doing all this, Francois was very happy. He told the confidant I bribed to go and collect the bodies of the family, and the confidant did so. As a result, when the confidant squatted down to drag the bodies, Francois shot him dead."
Theodore said coldly: "I will always remember his expression at that time. He picked up the monitor I installed, smiled and said to me: 'Brother, are you satisfied with what you see?'"
Killing, in Theodore's view, is just a means to achieve an end. For Theodore, the butcher knife is just a tool. People can use tools, but no one will fall in love with tools.
But Francois is different. He truly enjoys killing, drinks blood as red wine, and dances to death. He enjoys killing—he is a gentle executioner, a true twister.
