Rebirth of the Wife in Despair by Tess Munoz

Chapter 268 Death

In Raven Gang’s hidden basement, Lionel was sent sprawling to the ground with a powerful kick. He offered no resistance, enduring the intense pain in his chest. On one knee, he tried to stand up.

Before he could get up, Lionel was kicked in the chest again. This time, he didn’t manage to stand back up. He lay groaning in the corner, blood flowing from his mouth..

Everyone around bowed their heads, not daring to step forward.

No one knew what had happened that day, but it had been seven or eight years since Eric had last returned. And the moment he returned, he was incredibly angry.

In that situation, no one was rushing to run into the line of fire.

Eric, standing tall and looking down with an indifferent expression, said to the person at his feet, “There won’t be a next time.” The dangerous aura emanating from him was enough to send chills down anyone’s spine.

Just then, a frail man ran up to Eric, reporting, “Brett is dead.”

Eric frowned with displeasure. “Who killed him?”

The man hunched over and said, “I saw the car. It seemed to belong to the Smith family. Ms. Eileen almost fell into Brett’s hands. I saw someone shoot him straight away. Good heavens, his brains were blown out.”

They no longer acted as openly and uprightly as they used to, having toned down their behavior considerably.

The authorities were strict then, dafing to take people down right in the streets. Apart from the Smith family, no one else would dare to do so.

“What do we do now that the Smith family is involved in this matter? Moreover, Ms. Eileen almost got hurt. If Mr. Swan finds out, we definitely won’t get away with it.”

With an expressionless face, Eric slowly began to say, “I will handle this matter myself. Have the other two been found?”

The lackey replied nervously, “One of them, the last time we pursued him, his car overturned and fell off a cliff. We haven’t found the body yet. It’s likely been blown to pieces. The other one… We heard that he smuggled himself into North Manchernius, a place in the Golden Triad where all kinds of people mix. There are forces there that make it difficult for us to act.”

“Keep someone on his tail,” Eric ordered.

“Yes.”
