The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 111

As Thorpe looked up, the cold, dark muzzle of a sniper rifle stared back at him, poised like a beast ready to pounce. Hearing the commotion, his men streamed into the hospital room, guns trained on Ivan and Nolan.

“What is this all about? I’m working with Lunaris here. Are you trying to double–cross me now?” Ivan was unfazed by the threat. “Thorpe, not every job’s worth taking. Some money might look easy, but it could cost you your life.”

Thorpe frowned. He had indeed taken on a few jobs impulsively.

Cerulean Whale, shaky in its foothold within Harmonia Country, was in dire need of operational funds. And so, he had snapped up several jobs in the vicinity.

“Are there anyone that you need to protect in one of those jobs?”

Ivan snarled, “If anything happens to Ms. Schnabel, every last one of you will pay with your

lives!”

Ms. Schnabel?

It didn’t take long for Thorpe to realize they were talking about Noella Schnabel.

“Since when did the Schnabels need your organization for protection?”

Nolan deftly pushed Ivan’s gun aside with two fingers. “Mr. Thorpe, if you want to partner with Lunaris, we’re willing to extend some courtesy. But if the Schnabels find out you’re here, do you think your brother’s safety is guaranteed? You might be fine, Mr. Thorpe, but your brother isn’t in any condition to move.”

Thorpe tensed up instantly!

If the Schnabels knew he was here, they wouldn’t let him off the hook! He had previously taken a contract to kill Marcel Schnabel, and not only had none of his hitmen returned, but the Schnabel family had also issued several warnings!

Beckett Schnabel had even threatened his life!

He hadn’t realized his target was Ms. Schnabel at the time of accepting the job. Now it dawned on him that if the Schnabels found out, he might not even be able to leave Harmonia Country.

“Don’t worry, I won’t lay a finger on Ms. Schnabel. Other organizations wouldn’t dare accept them either.”

Sweat was beading on Thorpe’s forehead.
