Xavier narrowed his eyes a fraction. Nevertheless, he remained calm and unruffled.

“Then, you’re really dishonorable. If you’re going back on your word with me now, would you still divide the gold bars among your lackey after obtaining them? Or are you not even planning to allow them to live? If you do so, would anyone still dare to follow you in the future?”

His words were tantamount to a huge rock tossed into the water, resulting in massive waves.

Sure enough, the other kidnappers present had their eyes trained on the suitcase of gold, all wearing eager expressions.

When the kidnapper in the pig mask saw that his lackeys had been successfully divided, he shot out his hand and swung it at Xavier’s face.

As he did so, he roared, “Stop sowing discord here! Do you believe that I’ll rip your tongue out?”

Alas, Xavier moved faster than the man, for he dodged before the latter’s fist could land on him.

On the heels of that, he grabbed hold of Winnie. They then darted to the side of the wall by the window.

As soon as Xavier caught sight of an iron rod on the ground, he shot Winnie a look. “Pick it up and smash the window.”

Winnie, on the other hand, was rather reluctant to do so. In a whisper, she muttered, “They’ve got two guns, mister.”

Xavier frowned. “Just do as I said!”

“Fine.” The wooden panel on the broken window was rotting so badly that it was moments away from falling off, so Winnie didn’t need an iron rod. All she needed to do was to hit it twice with her elbow.

With two thuds, she smashed the rotten wooden panel.

Unfortunately, that attracted the kidnappers’ attention.

The man in the pig mask instantly pointed the gun at Winnie. “What are you doing?”
