Chapter 434 A Confession in Progress 57% Finished The few men standing before the scene were gripped by fear. Without a second thought, they turned and ran, desperate to escape. Alexander, however, made no move to stop them. Paul shot him a puzzled look.
Those men had just witnessed Alexander killing someone, the body was still lying at his feet.
"Aren't you worried they'll run off and spread the word?" Alexander smirked. "They can try." Paul "..." Glancing at the first man he had knocked to the ground, Paul noticed he was already half-dead from terror. Beaten so badly, he could barely crawl away.

"Two songs. My job is done." Olivia's lazy voice rang out.
Paul and Alexander instinctively melted into the shadows. With a swift kick, Alexander sent the lifeless body tumbling into a bush. Paul, meanwhile, clamped a hand over the mouth of the one still breathing, ensuring he wouldn't make a sound.
"You played beautifully tonight." A voice filled with admiration followed Olivia's.
Through the gaps in the foliage, Alexander and Paul spotted Olivia a few meters away, casually holding a skewer of grilled meat. Walking beside her was Benjamin.

Meanwhile, hidden in the darkness, Paul's eyes nearly popped out of his skull.
What the hell! What did this bastard just say? Was he trying to seduce Olivia! Just as Paul was about to storm out and beat the living daylights out of this audacious little punk, he suddenly felt an overwhelming wave of murderous intent beside him. A chill ran down his spine.

Alexander, blending seamlessly into the night, narrowed his eyes. A dark, bottomless rage simmered beneath his gaze. One more body wouldn't be alproblem. Unaware of the imminent danger he was in, Benjamin continued looking at Olivia, cagerly awaiting her answer. After a brief moment of thought, Olivia suddenly smiled at him. "Are you serious?" Benjamin blinked, then nodded. "Of course," She was smiling? Did that mean... He had a chance?
But before he could let the hope settle in, Olivia pulled out her phone, tapped open the calculator app, and spoke with a grin.
"Others charge by the month or the year. You're talking about a lifetime. You're quite something. Don't worry, I'll make sure to give you a fair price." Benjamin "???" A... fair price? 860 B
