Chapter 1796 A Deal
He had not expected to run into Carlos there. After discreetly scanning the surroundings, he fell into deep thought as to how to contact the latter.
Dennis walked up to Vinson and reminded, “Get ready. We’ll be dealing with them very soon.” “Mmm-hmm,” Vinson hummed in acknowledgment. After a brief pause, he added, “I need to go to the gents first.”
After throwing him a glance, Dennis ordered someone to escort Vinson. After all, the latter had just arrived on the island and harbored hopes of escaping. Hence, Dennis didn’t trust Vinson to be left unsupervised.
In response to Dennis’ actions, Vinson didn’t mind it at all as he headed to the gents with the man Dennis sent. “Hey man, can you buy me some toilet paper? I think I’m suffering from food poisoning,” Vinson suggested with a grimacing expression after stopping abruptly.
The escort hesitated as he stared at Vinson. After all, Dennis had reminded him not to leave the latter alone no matter what.
“Hey man, I’m really desperate here.”
Finally, the man gave in to Vinson’s pleas and left. Seizing upon the window of opportunity, Vinson dashed in the opposite direction toward Carlos and grabbed the latter from behind.
Thinking that he was being jumped on, Carlos instinctively reached for his gun but quickly heard Vinson’s voice ring out beside his ear. “It’s me!”
Following that, Carlos was overwhelmed with emotion when he saw who it was. “Mr. Nightshire, why didn’t you call us? His Majesty is extremely worried about you.”
“Hush!”
Vinson interrupted him and speedily updated him on the situation. Just as he finished, he caught a glimpse of the guard who went off to buy toilet paper. Thus, he slipped back into the toilet in the blink of an eye.
When the guard returned and realized Vinson was still there, he heaved a sigh of relief. After all, his greatest fear was that the latter would use the opportunity to escape, causing him to be punished by Dennis.
Thinking about Dennis’ punishment alone was enough to send a chill down his spine.
After receiving the toilet paper, Vinson headed into the gents and was out in two minutes. He subsequently patted the man on the shoulder and expressed his gratitude. “Thank you.”
Scratching the back of his head, the man then followed Vinson back to where Dennis was.
Soon, it was time for the deal. Even though it was a long-time customer, they still adhered to the principle of cash on delivery. While the customer was busy validating the goods, Dennis counted the money. Once the deal was completed, the customer swiftly left. As for Dennis, he prepared to lead his delegation back to their ship. However, the moment he opened the door, a group of gun-toting-black-clad men stormed into the room and surrounded them.
“What do you want?” Dennis glared at the intruders as he wondered when their movements had been exposed.
“Follow my instructions if you value your life,” Carlos barked upon entering the room. “Throw down all your weapons.”
As Carlos was speaking in Turlenese, Dennis and his men were naturally clueless. It was then that Vinson translated Carlos’ words.
Upon hearing Vinson’s translation, Dennis’ expression drastically changed.
Does he think we’re pushovers?
At Dennis’ cue, his men pulled out their guns and began shooting at Carlos.
However, as Carlos’ men were all soldiers, they made quick work of their enemies. Subsequently, they confiscated their enemies’ weapons and herded them into prison.
“Mr. Nightshire, where’s Dr. Moore? How is she? Is she safe?” Carlos anxiously asked Vinson, for Arielle’s safety was paramount among Aaron’s concerns.
