The 68th floor felt like it was born in the clouds.
Gunshots were heard everywhere, but the downtown area below had not yet felt any difference between this day and any other.
Bullets had pierced every piece of furniture, leaving a thousand holes and a scene of utter chaos.
Batches of people collapsed on the floor, and the smell of blood spread through the open door, so pungent that the group of plutocrats and patriarchs subconsciously covered their noses and mouths and looked at each other in disbelief.
This Paige is really good at fighting.
Fortunately, Rafael knew Enrico and Paige very well, otherwise they would really have been wasting their time today.
Sure enough, after fighting for about an hour, Paige could not withstand the barrage and was still pinned to the ground by the two top experts, and all the firearms in her hands were confiscated.
When Mr. Cruise and Mr. Wilkie walked in, they saw Paige lying on the ground, both hands restrained. Her clothes and pants were almost stained with blood, and she looked miserable. A splash of blood landed on her pale eyes, crossing the corners of her eyes and adding a sinister look to her otherwise clear eyes.
That look in her eyes was inexplicably frightening.
“Mrs. Gustin, why bother? We have paid a great price today just to keep you.”
Mr. Wilkie looked down at her with a handkerchief covering his nose and mouth, speaking slowly and deliberately.
Paige fell to the ground, her face covered in fine sweat as it pressed against the cold ground. “You would rather mobilize the entire country against me than solve your domestic difficulties.”
“The biggest problem in the country is you and Enrico. As long as the two of you are resolved, you will no longer get in our way, and we will naturally go and be the savior,” Mr. Wilkie said leisurely.
“How? By secretly transferring and killing all those who may be infected? Killing them one family at a time? And then pretending that you have already developed a treatment?” Paige said mockingly, breathing a little heavily.
She has been fighting for so long and is so tired.
On hearing this, the bodyguards on either side of her snapped her hand hard, causing her to black out from the pain and making it difficult for her to breathe.
“That’s not your concern. I happen to have two of your old friends here who want to meet you,” said Mr. Wilkie, clapping his hands.
Another bodyguard escorted someone in, and when Paige looked up, she saw two men being escorted in. One was Bryan, who looked at her in shock, his face full of panic. The other was an old man with almost white hair and a yellowish face. His deep-set eyes were glaring at her viciously.
“Paige!”
When he saw her, the old man gritted his teeth and rushed out, kicking her in the face, as if he were looking to kill his father’s enemy.
Paige had a large shoe print on her face, and a trace of blood dripped from the corner of her mouth.
“Do you remember him? He was the one you had a one-night stand with. Women, they never forget their first man, right?” Mr. Wilkie crouched down and looked at Paige with a smile, looking like a nightclub mama.
Paige laughed as she listened, looking back coldly, “Why, didn’t he tell you that he’s not a man anymore?”
Back then, she had already ruined the old man.
On hearing this, Mr. Wilkie froze for a moment, and then turned his eyes to the old man, who went pale and then looked even more hideous.
“Never mind, this way, the tricks men play are more interesting.”
Mr. Wilkie didn’t think it mattered, and waved his hand, “Come, let me buy you all a drink and spend the night together.”
Hearing this, the old man realized what he had been brought here for, and froze. Bryan, who was standing nearby, was also stunned and struggled desperately, “What are you doing? Are you crazy? She’s Enrico’s wife!”
“She’s not Enrico’s woman, and we’re not moving yet!”
Mr. Wilkie stood up and cut the crap, “Drink.”
The scene was full of blood and bullet holes.
Bryan and the old man were forced to drink a full glass of red wine.
Paige tried to struggle, but she was held down, and the red liquid splashed onto her face, the cold temperature making her clearly aware of her current passive situation.
Someone forced her jaw shut, forcing her to open her mouth and pour the red wine in.
“…”
A group of important people just stood there, watching quietly, without pity in their eyes, as if they were just watching a dying worm.
Everyone was elegant and superior.
As the red wine flowed down Paige’s throat and into her stomach, she let out a low chuckle, “I really regret it. I should have revealed the truth about the existence of the slums long ago. I regret trying to get along with you people that day.”
“That’s no longer possible,”
Hearing this, Mr. Cruise stood up with his cane and informed her, “Once the video of Mrs. Gustin having a good time with two men all night long falls into Enrico’s hands, I’m sure he will lose all reason and take revenge for you. Once he starts killing people, he will become a criminal in the eyes of the state. Even if the truth is revealed, who will believe the words of a murderer?”
“So, this is what you were planning.”
No wonder you disregarded the agreement we made that day and took direct action.
By using such despicable tactics against her, they were forcing Enrico to lose his mind and act recklessly.
“Help Mrs. Gustin up and take her to enjoy herself,” Mr. Wilkie said with a sigh.
The two bodyguards roughly pulled Paige up from the ground and dragged her towards the next room. Bryan tried to struggle, but he was dragged over as well.
“Bang.”
The two men and the woman were thrown inside, the door slammed shut, and the bodyguards began to completely seal the door with wooden boards.
They had used every precaution with Paige.
Seeing the door sealed shut, the group of plutocrats let out a slow sigh of relief, looking at each other and saying, “We’ve won, right?”
“So far, so good, except that we’ve lost quite a few experts,”
One of the tycoons looked at the bodies shot on the ground and said with some emotion, “Two of them were the most capable experts by his side.”
“It’s already considered good that only so many people have died,” Mr. Cruise said as he stood there, turning his eyes to Mr. Wilkie, “How has the family been relocated? Be careful of what President Rafael said, Enrico has surrounded our rear.”
As long as Enrico has not fallen, it is not time for them to celebrate.
“Don’t worry, everyone in the family has been relocated to a safe place. Each family has only left some members who are not pleasing to the eye. If Enrico dares to go to their door and make trouble, he will be exposed at the first opportunity, and he will be ruined,” Mr. Wilkie said confidently.
They have left some unimportant people in each family, which is the bait for Enrico. If he dares to go, he is stepping into a trap.
All the truly important people have gathered in a safe place.
“Then let’s evacuate first as well. It’s not a place to linger,”
said Mr. Cruise. Paige had already pressed the panic button and taken another pill, so it was impossible for her to stir up any more trouble. She could just leave the place to her subordinates.
“Okay,” everyone responded, and they turned and left under the escort of the bodyguards.
When they arrived in front of the elevator, the bodyguard pressed the button, but saw that the elevator stopped at every floor, which was extremely strange.
Three minutes passed, and the elevator didn’t even reach the 20th floor.
Mr. Cruise frowned, “Don’t we have people all over the building? Who’s using the elevator?”
“…”
No one spoke.
