Chapter 471: Chapter 471 Hunter Becomes the Hunted_1

“He’s not dead!”

Jennifer Lopez quickly hung up the phone, a wave of fear coursing through her.

Brightness and Director Ridge were her most reliable Shadow Warriors, having completed dozens of missions in the capital, all perfectly executed.

This time, coming to Gonzalez City, Jennifer Lopez had specially spent a large sum of money and exerted her connections to transfer these two men who must not be exposed to the light of day from the capital to Gonzalez City.

Just in case of emergency.

She hadn’t expected that they would actually come in handy.

But now it seemed likely that Brightness and Director Ridge had both failed.

“Jordan Martin!”

After turning off her cell phone, Jennifer Lopez took a deep breath and called out towards the door.

Creak.

The door slowly opened, and Jordan Martin stood in the doorway, in his suit.

“Miss, what do you need?”

His gaze briefly lingered on Jennifer Lopez’s body clad in pajamas before quickly shifting away.

Even as she was nearing forty, Jennifer Lopez took great care of herself, appearing even more enticing than some women in their twenties.

Especially that aristocratic aura about her which was particularly mesmerizing.

“Brightness and the others may have failed.”

Jennifer Lopez’s brows furrowed slightly, her mind beginning to ponder what her next move should be.

Although she couldn’t accept her own people failing, the situation was such that she had to think of a solution.

“Should I go there myself?”

Jordan Martin’s fists clenched tightly, a murderous intent already stirring within him.

Anyone who dared to embarrass this woman in front of him deserved to die!

“You…”

Jennifer Lopez stood up and began pacing the room. “Send someone to check on Brightness and the others, see what exactly happened to them. Also, it’s not advisable to stay here long, we need to return to the capital immediately.”

If Brightness and Director Ridge were taken down, it meant that she had severely underestimated Julius Reed.

So many tycoons in the capital, with plenty of bodyguards, couldn’t escape from the likes of Brightness, and yet a son-in-law, could actually manage to turn the tables?

Jennifer Lopez was certain she hadn’t misheard; the voice on the phone was Julius Reed’s!

That voice, she would never forget it in her lifetime!

“Alright, I’ll send someone to handle it now!”

Jordan Martin had just turned around when he heard Jennifer Lopez scream!

“Someone’s here!”

As Jennifer Lopez turned around, she caught sight of the window behind her.

There stood a man in white by the window.

Remembering Julius Reed’s words, “Be careful of the window!” she felt her heart tighten to the extreme in an instant.

The hotel was on the twenty-third floor. Silent and unnoticed by the window, it was clear he was no ordinary man!

“Who’s there!”

Jordan Martin spun around violently, his hand instinctively reaching for the gun at his waist.

Whoosh!

But just at that moment!

A noise, barely audible, whistled through the air, and Jordan Martin’s right arm was instantly pierced, leaving a bloody cavity.

Then a server approaching from behind pushed a service cart straight forward, toppling Jordan Martin to the ground.

Whoosh!

The door was firmly shut.

And the man outside the window, using a sharp tool in hand, broke through the window and jumped onto Jennifer Lopez’s bed.

“Help…”

Jennifer Lopez’s first reaction was to call for help.

Outside the door, there were at least eight bodyguards.

But with Jordan Martin struck by a cold dart, he was now gasping for air on the floor!

Jennifer Lopez had lost her strongest support at that moment.

“You can scream, but I assure you, before reinforcements arrive, you will die a very gruesome death.”

The man in white slowly licked the dagger in his hand, approaching Jennifer Lopez, “Go on, scream. Louder.”

“You’re courting death!”

On the floor, Jordan Martin struggled with all his might to stand up, but was rendered immobile by a foot from the Shadow Warrior dressed as a waiter, pressing him down.

“This dog is so noisy!”

The man in white scratched his ear and said to the waiter, “Make him quiet!”

“Right away, boss!”

The waiter untied a cloth from his waist and, while holding Jordan Martin’s head down with one hand, stuffed the cloth into his mouth with the other.

“Mmm mmm mmm…”

The injured Jordan Martin desperately struggled, but it was in vain.

The waiter standing on him was also incredibly strong, firmly pinning him down to the floor beneath the bed.

“Who the hell are you people!”

Although Jennifer Lopez had been through many storms and witnessed many grand scenes, she was indeed panicking now.

For the first time, the situation was out of her control.

She was at a disadvantage.

A complete disadvantage.

“Us? Does Miss Lopez want to offer a bribe?”

The man in white chuckled and pushed Jennifer Lopez to sit at the edge of the bed, while he sat on the other side.

“I have plenty of money! If you want money, I’ll give you five times what the other side is offering!”

Jennifer Lopez tried her best to remain calm.

Because she knew very well that the calmer she was, the more likely the other party would change their mind.

People die for wealth; birds die for food.

Isn’t everyone in this line of work chasing money?

Having climbed up from the twenty-something floor, they must be desperadoes.

She knew that the hotel she stayed in had a high security factor, with frequent security patrols.

“Miss Lopez indeed has a lot of money to throw around!”

The man in white gently touched the knife in his hand and asked with a smile, “Someone has offered me a price to kill you that I can’t refuse. You know, if one loses their credibility in this line of business, they might well starve to death.”

Hearing this, Jennifer Lopez felt a secret surge of relief inside.

There was a chance!

She said with utmost composure, “Isn’t it just about money? The Lopez Family as a major household in Gonzalez City has plenty to offer you – enough to ensure you live a life without worries! Besides, if you give me the information about your employer, I can help you take them down. That way, no one would know about your involvement. And you, with that money, could be at ease for the rest of your life!”

Nobody dislikes money.

As long as the other party was willing to talk, she had a way out.

Having circulated in the business world for so many years, Jennifer Lopez knew well the workings of the human heart.

“Miss Lopez’s words are somewhat tempting me,” said the man in white as he slowly placed the dagger onto Jennifer Lopez’s fair neck and, licking his lips, said, “If I don’t kill you, are you willing to do anything?”

The dagger was very sharp; just making contact with Jennifer Lopez’s skin, it had already drawn a trace of blood.

“Mmm mmm mmm…”

Jordan Martin lay on the ground, howling furiously.

His eyes were already filled with bloodshed, and he struggled nearly to the point of madness!

But on top of him, the waiter-dressed man was like a mountain, completely preventing Jordan Martin from getting up!

“Brother, is it uncomfortable lying there?”

The waiter picked up Jordan Martin, landing a fierce punch to his abdomen!

Then he took a rope from his waist and tightly tied the injured Jordan Martin to a chair inside the hotel.

“What do you want to do?”

Feeling the incredibly sharp blade at her throat, Jennifer Lopez’s forehead broke out in cold sweat.

The icy blade seemed like it could pierce her throat at any moment!

At that moment, Jennifer Lopez felt an unprecedented fear!

When the Hunter suddenly becomes the hunted, that fear is magnified a thousand times, ten thousand times!

“That depends on whether Miss Lopez wants to live or desires a swift end,” said the man in white as he gently retracted the dagger, cutting through the straps of Jennifer Lopez’s nightgown in an instant with the sharp blade.

Jennifer Lopez’s body shook slightly, and then she closed her eyes.

“Mmm mmm mmm…”

Jordan Martin, tied to the chair, was nearly frenzied!
