Shadow Empire

Chapter 281: Killing [666+18]
Eric had never slept so comfortably before. He knew that this was called deep sleep.

Maybe he only slept for a short time, but it had a long-lasting effect. He thought about the girl, and it seemed that a power was flowing in his body.

He opened his eyes, but was confused because this was not a hotel suite.

He soon discovered that his situation was somewhat dire, as he was tied to a chair.

He quickly raised his head and looked around, and this action made his neck stiffen for an instant!

He slept with his head down for a long time, and his cervical spine couldn't withstand such a big movement all of a sudden.

But it also made him see clearly what this place was, a garage.

There was a layer of waterproof cloth under his feet. The light red waterproof cloth made him feel uncomfortable because he had never seen waterproof cloth of this color before.

There are some old car repair tools hanging on the wall, such as wrenches, rulers, and sharpeners.

There is a smell of rotting wood in the air. This place must be in a remote location, and the air is very humid.

"Is anyone here?" he shouted loudly twice, and the side door of the garage opened and someone walked in.

The sunlight outside is a little dazzling. That's how summer sunlight is, so bright that it makes it hard to open your eyes.

He watched as the dark figure walked into the garage and revealed his appearance.

"Lance?!" He suddenly began to struggle violently, "Are you fucking crazy?"

"You tied me up like this, let me go!" He yelled excitedly, "Otherwise I will make you suffer, I promise!"

Lance just walked up to him, and when he thought Lance was going to untie the ropes that tied him up, Lance punched him.

After the punch, Eric was left coughing and couldn't even speak.

Tears and snot came out!

Erwin came in from outside, his arms a little wet.

This is a small house by Angel Lake, and he found someone to rent it.

Before the legend of Angel Lake spread, many people would come here to swim, dive, or fish.

After all, the scenery of Angel Lake is indeed very beautiful, especially when you stand on some hillsides. When the weather is good, looking towards the lake, the sparkling lake surface makes the whole lake sparkle with golden light!

Even poets cannot describe its beauty in verses. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Jingang City is also called the City of Angels, because of this Angel Lake!

It is as breathtakingly beautiful as an angel fallen into the mortal world!
But after many people discovered that this place had become the largest corpse dumping site in Jingang City, the number of tourists here has decreased, and only some outsiders who don't know the reason come here.

In recent years, the legend of Angel Lake has become more and more popular, and even outsiders will not come here.

Some people didn’t believe it and went diving in some dangerous waters marked as “chemical leaks” and found countless oil drums at the bottom of the water…

These small houses, which were originally built around Angel Lake and rented out to tourists, have gradually become abandoned.

Eric was punched, and the severe pain and spasm prevented him from continuing to shout. Lance took two steps back, sat on a chair and lit a cigarette.

"You don't seem that important to your father, Eric." He pulled a newspaper from his pocket, unfolded the first page and placed it on the ground.

This is a supplement to "Today's Jingang", printed urgently, with only four pages. The price has not been reduced, but it has already sold out!
Eric looked at those paragraphs and began to feel fear. His eyes no longer contained the confusion and arrogance as before. Now he looked pitiful.

"Lance...I...I won't tell anyone you did it, I promise, I swear on my mom!"

"No one, including my uncle, would know what happened. I would tell people that I wanted to go out for a walk by myself and forgot to tell them."

"Everything will return to normal. There is no kidnapping, no ransom note. I will prove that it was just a joke!"

As he was talking, he couldn't go on, because although he was a little stupid, he was not so stupid that he was hopeless.

The ransom letter.

His body was trembling slightly, and he seemed very scared. Lance turned the cigarette upside down and stuffed it into his mouth. He inhaled greedily, as if the cigarette could soothe the fear in his heart!
He was very nervous. He looked up and peeked at Lance, then lowered his head again, "I don't want to die, Lance, please spare me..."

Lance shook his head slightly, "This isn't you."

Before Eric could understand what this meant, Lance smiled and said, "I liked the way you took my five hundred dollar check that day, Eric. That's you."

"Arrogant and presumptuous, you only care about your uncle and no one else, including me!"

He is about to cry!
"Lance, listen to me, listen to me, I didn't mean it, I...I did something stupid, I don't want to die!"

Tears welled up in his eyes. Erwin stood beside him, holding his waist. "That's not how you treated that girl last night."

Eric suddenly realized what was happening. He was stunned for a moment and said, "You are in the same group."

Lance used an affirmative sentence and did not deny it. "It's not easy to secretly kidnap you without letting anyone know who did it."

"I thought about kidnapping you on the road, but that's not a good idea. There are too many lackeys around you. I have to kill them all."

"But once the gun is fired, it will be hard for me to hide you. Your dog, John, might be hunted all over the city to please your uncle."

"It's not realistic to control you where you live. You live in the mayor's manor, where the security is very tight. I can't get you out without alerting others."

"So, I have to make you take the initiative to leave them." "Do you regret it?"

Lance asked.

Eric nodded with a sad face, "Yes, yes, I regret it."

He could only go along with what Lance said, but Lance smiled and said, "Maybe you are thinking about how to get revenge after you leave."

Eric was shocked, "I didn't, I swear I really didn't think so!"

He saw Lance standing up, his voice was out of tune!

"Please, don't kill me, help, help, I'm Eric, someone wants to kill me..."

Lance looked at him. He shouted for a long time, and the surroundings were so quiet as if... the wilderness.

"This is Angel Lake, Eric," Lance said. "There's no one around. Even if you shout all day, no one will hear you."

He turned into a crying face again because he was yelling just now, saying that Lance wanted to kill him.

Perhaps it was because he felt the death of the general, fear began to surge up in him, he cried with snot and tears, and even peed!

"Please, I don't want to die..."

Lance took out a piece of steel wire from his pocket and walked behind Eric. Eric began to struggle violently again, but when the cold steel wire strangled his neck, he despaired!

"Five hundred bucks bought you a one-way ticket to hell, Eric!"

"This is what you deserve!"

The end of life seemed to have arrived in an instant. Eric broke down emotionally, crying and begging for mercy, but it was all meaningless.

Lance tightened the wire around his hands, and Eric struggled violently again. His face turned red and he couldn't make any sound.

It didn't take long, less than a minute, for all the struggling to stop.

Erwin looked at the tarp on the ground. "I thought you were going to get it all over the place."

Lance shook his head. He rolled up the wire and put it back in his pocket. "Just in case."

Erwin looked at him, "What now?"

Lance smoothed his hair and took a new cigarette, the one that Eric had just smoked.

He lowered his head, struck a match, took a deep puff of cigarette, and the smoke rose up. "Send him back. Aren't they looking for Eric?"

Then give it to them!
The two of them simply cleaned up and washed the waterproof cloth in water. There were water stains on Elvin's body just now because he took the things in the car to the water and washed them, trying his best to avoid any evidence in the car.

Now the tarp also needs to be washed and then used to wrap Eric.

He was thrown into the back seat of the car by the house, and the two of them drove back to the city as if nothing had happened.

At this time, some citizens have spontaneously launched a "Search for Eric" campaign. They are looking for Eric's traces everywhere, whether in the city's rivers, some pools, or any hidden places.

But there was no doubt that Eric could not be there.

In fact, the more he couldn't find him, the more the mayor realized that Eric was dead, and he had to make a big fuss about Eric's death.

In fact, not only some citizens were looking for Eric spontaneously, but people from the five major families were also looking for Eric, but it was obvious that they couldn't find him.

When Lance came back, he heard that Alberto had called him, and he immediately called back.

"Damn it, have you seen Eric?"

"No, I was out on some business. The news said he was kidnapped. Is that true?"

"He was kidnapped, that's bad, Lance, I'm a little disturbed."

"about what?"

"Things are moving step by step in an unknown direction. Since... I don't know when, everything has become uncontrollable."

"If things get out of control, I'm worried..."

He didn't say what he was worried about, but you could tell he was indeed anxious.

Lance comforted her, "Everything will be fine, just like it has been every time before."

"And even if something does happen, it's the five major families and those masters who are watching. What does this have to do with us?"

Alberto sighed, "I don't know, but be prepared. I feel like the storm is coming."

I have to say his feeling is very accurate.

It was past three in the morning and there were no people on the street. Lance was driving and Erwin was sitting in the back seat.

When the car passed the city hall, Erwin opened the door and pushed Eric out, and then the car quickly disappeared into the darkness...
