Honorable Hubby Behind Me

Chapter 57

"Blake Coleman, I'll ask you this one last time. Where is my wife?" Manfred's voice was as cold as ice, his bloodied face resembling that of a vengeful ghost.

Blake was still nonchalant, as if he could not be touched. This was because he felt that neither Manfred nor Samuel would dare to truly raise a hand against him.

"Didn't I already tell you? She's dead. She was already dead when you were taken," he said.

Manfred did not go ballistic like he did earlier.

Instead, he was still deathly calm. However, Samuel felt a vicious murderous intent radiating from the old man.

"Call your underlings. Get as many as you can," Samuel told Johann. If Manfred truly killed Blake here, they could not escape with just the three of them.

Johann whipped out his phone in a frenzy and quickly punched the numbers on his phone.

"Since she's already dead, go ahead and accompany her, will you? She's scared of the dark," Manfred said.

Blake looked at him disdainfully and said, "You dare to kill me? Do you know the gravity of the retribution you will face if I die here? In the end, it won't just be you. The three of you and the Sues will accompany me to my grave."

Johann wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He knew that Blake meant every word he said. He was not like Gareth; that man was a shrimp compared to Blake even though he, too, had his supporters. Blake's yearly earnings from his casinos were startling. He definitely bought off plenty of powerful people. He would have long been thrown into jail otherwise, with so many gambling dens being operated. If he got into trouble, it would affect the profit of many people. Would they still have a place in Cloud City?

"Calm down, Manfred. He's no use to us dead," Johann advised the old man.
