Betrayed, But Not Defeated novel Chapter 60

"Daniel..." Zachary murmured, a glint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

The Keaton family brought martial artists with them. For them, demolishing a company was as simple as crushing an ant.

Charlene was witnessing the company she had painstakingly built being destroyed just like that, so her fury was understandable.

However, all she could do was glare at Zachary.

Adjusting his suit, Zachary sat in the chair pushed over by his elderly servant and crossed one leg over the other. "It seems he's not here. We'll wait, then. You won't mind, will you?"

Charlene wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. "Is this how the Keaton family handles things? How domineering!"

Zachary spread his hands. "Yes. This world is always cruel. I'm just surprised you would say something like that. It's truly disappointing."

Charlene didn't respond, but anxiety filled her heart.

"Daniel can't come back!" she thought.

After all, the Keaton family was the Keaton family. They might destroy her company, but they definitely wouldn't dare kill her. She just hoped Daniel would stay away, preferably leave Gimlin altogether.

…

At the material suppliers' market, Daniel realized that the Keaton family had gone to find Charlene.

Without wasting any more words, he raised his hand toward the elderly man.

"You talk too much," he said coldly.

The elderly man sneered, "You're the one who's too arrogant. Attack!"

With a shout, the elderly man unleashed his energy, displaying the overwhelming force of a martial arts grandmaster as it surged toward Daniel.

"So powerful! Is this the strength of a grandmaster?"

"The Geller family is truly foolish to provoke the Keaton family. From now on, the Geller family in Qranross will likely become history. What a pity!"

"Why couldn't it be me?" Zachary brushed his hand across his waist, revealing a dagger.

He licked the dagger with his tongue, a smile appearing on his face. "Mr. Geller Senior, I really don't like your tone."

As his words fell, Zachary plunged the dagger directly into Oscar's shoulder.

"No!" Charlene cried out in pain.

Zachary immediately turned his head back. "So? Can you tell me who killed my brother now?"

"I don't know. I really don't know!" Charlene shook her head desperately.

Zachary began sliding the dagger, causing blood to spurt from Oscar's shoulder. Oscar's face turned pale.

"Ms. Geller, are you really not going to tell me?" A glimmer of excitement flashed in Zachary's eyes.

Charlene's resistance pleased him. Having finally come out, he intended to enjoy this to the fullest.
