Chapter 266
The living room was pitch black and devoid of people. Gavin widened the gap in
the door until he finally saw a faint light emanating from the bedroom. The people inside were completely
unaware of the activity outside.
Gavin and Yolanda held their breath, listening intently to the sounds from within.
"Are you going to talk or not?" Someone with a raspy voice was interrogating Blake.
"Based on the number of bodyguards Zach had, there was no way he could have escaped successfully. Who
helped him?"
"Was it you who acted as a messenger to inform that Crimson Crew wanted to kill Zach?"

"Did the Scarlet Alliance get involved? Did Vic know about it?"
Gavin and Yolanda moved closer to the bedroom. By the dim light of the table lamp, they saw a strangely
dressed woman wearing a veil and an old woman with a hunched back standing before Blake.
Blake was covered in blood. He was severely injured and gasping for breath while half-kneeling on the floor.
Despite his condition, he still refused to answer their questions.
"Heh! Don't think that keeping your mouth shut will get you out of this." The old woman with a hunched back
pulled out a small bottle from the pocket of her robe.
"This is a poison | concocted myself. If you take it, you won't die immediately. But your whole body will convulse
every hour, and you'll foam at the mouth. After a day, your skin will start to rot. Eventually, you'll bleed from all
seven orifices and die in agony," said the old woman.
Blake's expression changed slightly, but he maintained his defiant attitude. "Killif you dare!"
"Killing you outright would be far too boring." The strangely dressed woman extended her pale, slender fingers.
The sharp nails on her fingertips glinted with a faint green glow.
Yolanda and Gavin exchanged a glance.
The woman's nails were coated in deadly poison.
"Do you think killing Zach means your schemes will succeed?" Blake, knowing that he was as good as dead,
decided to speak his mind. "Even if it weren't Zach who drove you out of Riverdale, Nigel would never have
tolerated you!"
"Hmph! Scarlet Alliance benefited by playing both sides. Now, it's tfor you to return everything you stole to
Mr. Shaw! | don't mind telling you straight up-Mr. Shaw didn't just want to kill Zach. Even your boss, Vic, won't
survive!"
"If Mr. Shaw hadn't been forced out of Riverdale back then, the king of the city's underworld wouldn't be Vic!"
"We should've wiped you all out when we had the chance! | thought that Shaw bastard would have learned his

"No matter what you say, it's useless. Once you take my poison, you'll beg for mercy and spill all your secrets."
The hunched-back old woman grabbed the bottle and forcefully pried Blake's mouth open. She then poured the
poison down his throat.
"Don't worry. After you die, we'll go find Zach next. After that, it'll be your boss. Anyone who stands in Mr. Shaw's
way won't get away!"
"In your dreams!" Blake coughed violently a few times and pulled a dagger from behind his back, intending to
end his own life.
The old woman and the strangely dressed woman immediately tried to stop him. Meanwhile, the bedroom door
was kicked open from the outside.
Gavin and Yolanda had waited until they were sure their sudden entrance wouldn't put Blake at further risk
before breaking in. Even so, they were still a bit too late, as Blake had already swallowed the poison.
"Who's there?"
