My Killing President

Chapter 744 Hatred

"What are you trying to do?!"

"Taking our share! Ten million for us and the rest is yours!" As the man said that, he hurriedly took out

part of the cash.

The other man watched director Lee and Annabelle Xia vigilantly.

"Okay, we will go now and let's never meet anymore!" The man said after he secured his money.

The other person nodded and they wanted to leave it.

"Stop right there! Help me to kill them and you can get the rest of the money!"

The two men simply leered at him and said, "You have lost it!" And they ran away after that.

Director Lee was the only person left. When he saw Alistair Mu lying on the floor, he decided to do it

himself.

"Alistair Mu, I waited too long for today…" He grinned mercilessly as he approached the man.

On the other side.

The moment the two men ran out, Ralphy Xia ambushed and incapacitated them.

"How many people are inside!?" He glared at them threateningly.

The men looked at Ralphy Xia fearfully and they didn't want to get involved in their feud, "A woman is

cuffed inside…"

"I am asking how many kidnappers are inside!"

"One… Just one!"

One…

When Ralphy Xia was making his rapid assessment of the situation, one man sneaked an attack on

him and yelled, "Run!"

And the two men escaped.

Ralphy Xia did not go after them.

If it was only one…

Things would get much simpler.

The man looked towards the door and charged inside.

……

At that time, director Lee had already cuffed Alistair Mu up as well.

Annabelle Xia looked at Alistair Mu and she was worried sick, "Are you all right?"

Alistair Mu tried his best to hold in his pain, "I am fine!"

But his pale face suggested otherwise. The man was bleeding heavily from his chest and it showed no

sign of stopping.

Annabelle Xia broke into tears, "You shouldn't have come… You shouldn't…"

"You are here, how can I not come!?"

"Alistair Mu, why are you such a fool?! You should have gone back to being the Alistair Mu in the past,

that narcissist that only cares for himself!!!" Annabelle Xia wailed.

Alistair Mu simply looked at her and smiled gently, "That is impossible anymore. The moment I met

Annabelle Xia, everything changes. But, I sure like the way I am now…"

Annabelle Xia looked at him and her tears broke out like a broken dam. She didn't know what to say

and she leaned closely on his body.

When director Lee watched and heard them, he scoffed, "How touching! If that's the case, I shall do the

two of you a favor…"

He took out a lighter from his pocket.

And the factory was filled with flammables. Even gasoline and gas tanks…

Annabelle Xia looked at him but before she said anything, she noticed a person approached director

Lee from behind. She was stunned.

Ralphy Xia simply signaled a shush and approached director Lee very quietly.

Annabelle Xia caught on and she looked at director Lee and yelled, "Director Lee, don't think you will

be able to escape this! You will definitely rot in jail!"

"Even if I am caught or even receive the death penalty, I have the two of you to accompany me!"

Ralphy Xia wanted to pick up the crowbar on the floor but he accidentally made some noise. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Director Lee heard that and he turned around immediately.

At that moment, Ralphy Xia knew that he couldn't make it and he charged straight towards director

Lee.

At that very moment, the man threw his lighter towards the gasoline.

The flames went up with a fume.

Ralphy Xia tackled director Lee to the floor and beat him up.

After director Lee received a beating from Ralphy Xia, he grabbed dirt on the floor and hurled it towards

Ralphy Xia.

Ralphy Xia was blinded and director Lee escaped during that window.

The fire was burning fiercely.

There were just too many flammables around the factory. Probably director Lee was the one that

arranged it.

But in mere minutes, the place were filled with smoke and the fire was spreading rapidly.

Annabelle Xia was choking in the smoke and Alistair Mu's breathing was getting weaker and weaker.

Ralphy Xia did not go after director Lee but he rushed towards Annabelle Xia.

"Annabelle…"

"Bro, hurry and save Alistair! He is hurt and bleeding heavily!" Annabelle Xia yelled hurriedly.

At that time, Ralphy Xia looked at Alistair Mu and he was slightly stunned.

The hatred and enmity between them were etched deeply in their hearts. But now…

Ralphy Xia looked at Alistair Mu and couldn't make up his mind.

"No, save her first, this place would be exploding soon, hurry!!!" Alistair Mu muttered with his pale lips.

Ralphy Xia wasted no time and turned towards Annabelle Xia, "You are injured as well. I will bring you

out first!"

As he said that, he looked at her handcuffs and started to look for tools.

"No, bro, save Alistair first, please…" Annabelle Xia cried.

At that time, Ralphy Xia found a piece of rock and he began striking the cuffs as hard as he could.

"Bro, leave me alone! Save Alistair, I beg you…" Annabelle Xia wailed.

Ralphy Xia said nothing in return and he kept bashing on the cuff. The man was simply saving the most

important person to him.

Annabelle Xia was so nervous and she came up with the idea to grab on her cuff. Ralphy Xia almost hit

the rock on her hand but he managed to pull back in time.

"You…"

Annabelle Xia's hair was in a mess and her lips was bleeding. She looked at Ralphy Xia pleadingly,

"Bro, I have never ask you anything in my life. But this time, I beg you to bring Alistair away first…"

Ralphy Xia looked at Annabelle Xia and frowned deeply.

"Please…" Annabelle Xia continued to beg Ralphy Xia.

In the end, the brother had no choice but to give in to her request. If he wanted to save the both of

them, he must not waste any more time.

He said nothing and simply turned towards Alistair Mu and started banging on his handcuff.

Alistair Mu had already fallen to the floor. He had lost too much blood and strength.

But the man looked at Ralphy Xia with determined eyes and said weakly, "Save…her…"

Annabelle Xia was right beside him and she could hear him as well. Even if she were to die in this

place today, she wouldn't regret anything.

At that moment, flames and smokes were engulfing the place violently but her heart was at peace.

She leaned on Alistair Mu and rested her face on him, "Alistair Mu, I thought I had no choice when I left

you one year ago. I regretted every single day for the past year. I swear I will never leave you

anymore…"

Alistair Mu tried everything he could to stay conscious. He looked at her and summoned all of his

remaining strength and yelled, "Ralphy Xia, save her first!"

Ralphy Xia paid no attention to them and focused on breaking the handcuff.

At that time, Alistair Mu blocked Ralphy Xia like what Annabelle Xia did as well.

Ralphy Xia glared at the couple and yelled furiously, "Are the two of you crazy!? Or are you trying to

die!?!?"

"Alistair Mu, I've owed you too much. Please… Please leave first…"

"Either we stay together, or we die together!" Alistair Mu said uncompromisingly.

Ralphy Xia looked at the two of them and he was infuriated.

"Okay, stop wasting time and we can save the both of you!" After he yelled, he lifted the rock and

continued to bang it on the handcuff.

He didn't care anymore and kept going.

After sometime, they heard a crack and they managed to free one.

It was Annabelle Xia's.

"Annabelle, leave this place now!!" Ralphy Xia roared.

"No, I will not leave!" At that time, the woman searched around to look for something sharper and

harder.

After she found another rock, she joined Ralphy Xia to break Alistair Mu's cuff.

The fire almost spread to their pole.

Alistair Mu looked at Annabelle Xia in agony, "Annabelle Xia, listen to me, leave first. I will join you

shortly after…"

"No, I will not leave. I will not leave without you!"

"This place is exploding soon. If you don't go now, all of us will die. Ralphy Xia, bring her out!"

Annabelle Xia shook her head and she continued to slam the rock with bloodied hands, "I will not

leave. Alistair Mu, I will not leave you alone. If you really die here, I will join you for sure!"

"Then what about Shi Guang? Just think about him!"

"Nothing you say can change my mind. Please don't chase me away as well. I couldn't leave you

behind…" Annabelle Xia cried as she continued to beat the cuff with the rock. Her face was a mess in

dirt, blood and tears.

Alistair Mu looked at her helplessly and didn't know what to say. But the man's lips curled up…

Both Annabelle Xia and Ralphy Xia hit the cuff as hard as they could.

A few minutes later, they broke the cuff and managed to open it.

Annabelle Xia had an exhilarated smile.

"Go, hurry!!!" Ralphy Xia yelled as he carried Alistair Mu outside as fast as possible.

Annabelle Xia helped him from the side as well.

The three of them ran outside.

As they were halfway through, one of the pillars collapsed.

And it fell towards Ralphy Xia…

"Brother!!!" Annabelle Xia screamed in shock but she instinctively grabbed hold of Alistair Mu.

"Hurry and go!!" Ralphy Xia yelled back.

"We will go together!"

Probably it was due to the adrenaline rush, Ralphy Xia summoned a great strength and pushed the

pillar away. But the burning tip fail into a cluster of gas tanks.

They didn't know if the tanks were filled and they held their breath in terror.

"Hurry, RUN!!!" Ralphy Xia yelled and the three of them continued to ran outside.

The moment they escaped the place, they fell to the floor…

They had been suffocating by the smoke inside. Right after they got out, the three of them fell to the

floor but the fire continued to burn blazingly inside…

……

Annabelle Xia slowly wrenched her eyes open.

She squinted her eyes because of the blinding light. A few seconds later, she looked at the unfamiliar

ceiling and she could smell the familiar scent of disinfectant.

Her pain from her palms and wrists reminded that it wasn't just a nightmare.

Annabelle Xia jerked out from her bed, "Alistair! Brother!!"

The moment Annabelle Xia sat up, she saw Waynie Xu and Madam Wu.

"Annabelle, you are up!"

"Mum? Where is Alistair? And how about brother?" Annabelle Xia looked at them and asked nervously.

"Don't worry, your brother is fine. As for Alistair… He suffered quite the injury but his life isn't in any

danger. He is just right next to your ward!" Waynie Xu looked at her and said.

When Annabelle Xia heard that, she was relieved.

Thank God!

Luckily everyone was safe!

As she recalled Alistair Mu's wound, she wanted to flip her blanket over and get down the bed.

"Annabelle, where are you going?"

"I want to check on Alistair!" As she said that, she wanted to walk outside.

"But your body…"

"I'm fine!"

After saying that, she walked next door right away.

The moment she opened the door to the ward, Alistair Mu was taking his medicine.

When Annabelle Xia finally confirmed his safety, her eyes welled up in her tears and she dived forward

to hug him.

Alistair Mu hadn't expected Annabelle Xia to come in at this time and he hadn't expected her to

‘pounce' at him the moment she saw him. The man's lips curled up, "What's gotten into you?"

Annabelle Xia wanted to hold back her tears but it just wasn't possible. She dug her face in his chest,

"It's nothing!"

At that time, Alistair Mu stretched out his hand and lifted her chin.

"You silly girl, you should smile if you are happy, not cry!"

"Do you know when the knife tip went in you, it felt as if I am being stabbed…?"

"How could I leave you and Shi Guang? I didn't stab it deep and I simply did that to fool him!"

When Annabelle Xia heard that, she was able to finally rest her heart. She held her husband's hand

and shut her eyes restfully.

Alistair Mu chuckled, "You silly girl, I am completely fine right now. I can even wrestle an alligator!" At

the man said that, he raised an arm and flexed his muscle comically.

Annabelle Xia broke into a laughter.

Alistair Mu hugged Annabelle Xia and the lovers were leaning against each other appreciatively.

……

On the other side.

In the Xia Group's office.

Ralphy Xia stood in front of his French window and the man had almost finished half a bottle of red

wine already.

As he recalled what happened, he scoffed at himself.

Didn't he hate Alistair Mu to his guts?

But why when he was facing the man back then and saving him, he didn't feel the slightest bit of hatred

towards him?

The man begun to realized that after Annabelle Xia left, his hatred towards Alistair Mu had already

faded…

Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked his life to save Alistair Mu.

As he thought about that, he bottomed up his glass of wine.

Ralphy Xia...

Now even the last bit of hatred is gone, what are you still holding on…?

All of a sudden, the man lost his meaning in life…
