What Separates Me and You

Chapter 144 Are You Coming?

Seth stared at the gun in Lewis’ hand and took a step back. He laughed. “Lewis, where’s the fun in ending it all now?”

“Do you really like playing games that much?” Lewis demanded.

Seth raised a brow. “That depends on how the game is played. Since you already have a gun pointed at my head, why not kill me now in front of Josephine?”

Despite being held at gunpoint, he was completely unafraid. His smile was brash and lofty, as

if he were entirely certain that Lewis would never dare to kill him in front of Josephine.

As for the reason behind that, only the two of them knew.

Josephine clenched her fingers tightly and looked between the two of them nervously.

Upon hearing Seth’s words, Lewis glanced at her sideways as well.

Seth laughed. “Lewis, oh Lewis, like I said, if you really want to be the villain, you’ve got to be much more thorough than this. Otherwise, you’ll never get anything.”

A gunshot rang out in the quiet mountains as soon as he finished speaking.

Josephine covered her eyes in fright.

Seth knelt on one knee. On his other leg, blood gushed through a hole penetrated by the bullet, staining the ground red.

Lewis took a step forward and yanked him up by his collar. His gaze was icy when he spoke. ” Kill you? That would be a mercy compared to what I want to do to you.”

Lewis kicked him and sent him flying about three feet away in response.

Seth lay sprawled on the ground. The stone floor was wet and muddy from the rain. Stagnant water, dirt, and blood seeping from his leg stained his once-white suit.

After a long while, he mustered enough strength to hoist himself up. With no regard for the cleanliness of the ground, he sat and looked at Josephine, his head tilted.

“Josephine, lift your shirt and take a look.”

Josephine lowered her head subconsciously and tugged at the hem of her shirt. It was then
