"You're very smart. If you had gotten impulsive and hurt me in any way, you and your entire family would have to suffer!"
Bang!
The gun went off, and blood splattered all over Jane's clothes.
Due to the powerful impact she received when the bullet shot into her body, Jane was sent stumbling backward. She only came to a halt when her body slammed into the wall behind her.
Clearly… Matthew had chosen to surrender earlier. He was obviously afraid, so why did he…
Jane looked at Matthew in bewilderment. "Aren't… Aren't you afraid?"
Matthew then replied expressionlessly, "I only took a few steps back because I was afraid that your blood would dirty my clothes. Did you really think I was scared?"
It was difficult for Jane to accept what happened. With a sharp pain throbbing in her chest, she looked down and saw the blood trickling out of the gunshot wound on her chest.
The blood ended up dripping onto the floor and formed into a mini pool of red.
Jane struggled to process the truth and said, "You… You should know that I'm from Red Wolves. How could you shoot me? Aren't you afraid of revenge?"
Upon hearing that, Matthew replied, "Of course, I'm scared of it. That's the only reason I shot you! I'll shoot whoever threatens my parents and my children!"
With that, Jane stared at Matthew in horror. She finally realized where she went wrong—she had used the wrong methods and shouldn't have threatened him.
This was the moment she realized the importance of Matthew's family to him. The entire room was filled with silence.
Meanwhile, Sebastian looked at Matthew with a terrified expression as if he had seen him shoot someone else for the first time.
He had thought that Matthew fell for their schemes and was lured into the gamble by one of them. In the end, Matthew was the one who triumphed from the gamble and overthrew Caleb. Matthew was the true Chicanery expert here!
But what led Sebastian to be even more astonished was the fact that Matthew had taken action and shot Jane when she began to threaten his family.
Unlike him, who had mentally prepared himself more than a thousand times before he raised his gun at Caleb for his father, who had been captured, Matthew had acted instinctively. Even then, Sebastian's hands were shaking.
