Chapter 231:
The other gang members, who weren't involved in inflicting harm on Alice, could be spared. However, Norah was
determined to hunt down the masterminds. As was her custom, before their deaths, she would ensure they
endured the agony Alice had suffered.
Jack chuckled, sitting on the sofa and leaning back, just like Sean and Norah. “The last guy who sold such things
tois now at the bottom of Rushfall River. Do you also wish to join him to feed the fish?”
Norah, along with three uninvited men, entered, but they made no attempt to intimidate. Jack was determined to
prove his reputation wasn’t for nothing. His status and notoriety in the East Zone were built on his ruthless
actions. Underestimating Norah and the others, Jack challenged, “Hey, beauty, you're quite attractive. If you
agree to be mine, maybe I'll let you live.”

Rage flickered in Sean’s eyes. “Who do you think you are?”
Jack’s audacity in desiring Norah convinced Sean that Jack was courting death.
“I'm the one you'll eventually plead to for mercy,” Jack retorted.
With those words, Jack was done talking to them. “Grab them!” he ordered. Jack's crew immediately approached
and surrounded Norah, Sean, Phillip, and Kelvin.
Jack shifted his position on the sofa, exuding arrogance, and lit a cigarette. He puffed out smoke, his expression
barely visible. Coldly, he instructed, “Handle the beauty with care. | plan to savor her and let her friend watch
her suffer beneath me.”

“Bang!” A shot rang out just as Jack finished his sentence. “Ah!” Jack’s shoulder erupted in a bloody wound. The
cigarette fell from his lips, scorching a mark on the carpet. Sean’s voice was frosty as he said, “You're annoying.
If not for Norah's insistence on keeping Jack alive for torture, | would have aimed for his head.”
In agony, Jack shouted, “What are you waiting for? Kill them!”
Jack couldn't rely solely on the men in the room. Hearing the shot, the rest of his crew scrambled for their
weapons and rushed toward the commotion.
Jack’s right-hand man noticed the unconscious guard by the door and quickly used his phone to rally more gang
members. In no time, a crowd of over 50 gangsters assembled. “Pay attention. Four intruders have made it to
Jack’s quarters. Our job is to capture them. Let's go!”
Even though Sean and the others had guns, Jack believed his crew could outnumber them. Capturing them after
exhausting their bullets shouldn't be a problem.

With his gang members pouring in, Jack pointed at Sean. “Take him down! | want his head!” He assumed Sean’s
confidence stemmed from the firearm. “Over here! All of you!” Jack yelled.
A few gang members, including Jack’s trusted subordinate, gathered around.
“Arm yourselves. We're not letting them walk out of here today,” Jack declared. He would see it as humiliation if
Sean and the others left the East Zone unscathed.
Jack unveiled a box containing fake rifles and four handguns. His crew quickly armed themselves. Jack grabbed a
handgun. It wasn’t top-of-the-line like a Beretta, but it was lethal nonetheless.
Once armed, Jack’s crew didn’t hesitate to fire, filling the cramped space with echoing gunshots. Reacting
quickly to the initial shot, Norah, Phillip, and Kelvin drew their weapons, poised to strike back or defend as
necessary.
