Instead of replying, Finnick simply smiled and swept his icy gaze across the man.
The man couldn’t help but shudder as a chill ran down his spine.
Noah then drove a kick into his side. “Do not lie to us! We’re aware of your involvement, so you’d best
come clean now. Otherwise, you will experience a fate worse than death!”
Shifty Eye could tell that these two men in front of him were of considerable means. There was no way
he was going to get away unscathed if the rich and powerful duo did not get what they wanted.
He finally caved in and begged. “Alright, alright, gentlemen! Just ask away! I’ll tell you anything you
want to know.”
Noah brought himself level with the man on the floor. “Two years ago, were you paid to pimp a drugged
woman to an old man?”
“A drugged woman… An old man…” As Shifty Eye tried his best to recall, he seemed to remember
something vaguely but was uncertain about it.
Finnick grew impatient. “How could you forget so quickly the reason why you were sent overseas?”
Once again, Noah showed Shifty Eye the bottom of his boot. “Spit it out! I assure you that you do not
want to mess with us.”
“Ouch! I’m trying, alright!”
Cowards who fear the strong and trample on the weak. Finnick and Noah had seen too many of these
sorts.
“It looks as if you have a long list of bad deeds to go through, so you better think carefully!” Noah
scowled.
“Yes! Of course!” the man answered hastily.
He was most intimidated by the gentleman in the wheelchair, who was silently observing him. Although
Finnick did not utter a word, the aura that he exuded was terrifying. Shifty Eye knew that if he did not
come clean, he might not be able to walk out of there.
He certainly remembered everything that happened back then because it was that woman who sent
him away, and he was still pretty ticked off about that.
“Oh, that’s right! I remember now!” the man exclaimed.
He quickly recounted, “Two years ago, this cutie pie came to me. She was gorgeous and dressed real
fine. I was thinking, for someone as young and loaded as her, she was pretty bold to come to me all by
herself. She wanted me to find her an old fella, as ugly and dirty as I could, and promised me a big pay Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
after the job was done.”
Finnick and Noah exchanged glances. The moment of truth was finally here! To their surprise, the
mastermind was a woman!
Shifty Eye continued, “I remember her very well. She was over the moon when I found her a nasty old
pervert with a gambling habit. Real generous too. She gave me a lot of money and later paid for me to
go overseas. I didn’t want to because I had a wife and kids, but she threatened me. And so I went
along with it because I was scared.”
Finnick asked, “What’s her name? Do you have her photo or contact number?”
The man cracked his head again. “I don’t have any photos, but she did mention a name. Like A… No,
Miller! That’s it! I’m sure that’s her name because she kept rambling on about what her family does…”
Finnick and Noah echoed, “Ashley Miller!”
“Yeah! Yeah! That’s her!” the man cried.
Ashley Miller again!
This is great!
It’s perfect!
The final hint of warmth faded away from Finnick’s expression. His deep-set eyes became so dark and
unfathomable that the sight chilled everyone else to the bone.
Even Noah was taken aback by him.
Shifty Eye shrunk as he averted his gaze, not daring to let out a yelp. It felt like the temperature in the
room just dropped below subzero.
He tried to chase away thoughts about whether the head honcho in front of him was going to kill him.
Right then, the man looked like he was going to rise from the wheelchair and get medieval on him.
The garage fell deathly silent as the only audible sound came in the form of Finnick’s icy breath.
