One Night Stand With That Beggar

“Hahaha!” Thomas Shelby finally burst into laughter.

“Amos Granger, you finally have something you care about, huh? Very well! Listen up, you have to come to the West Hill alone this evening. If you dare to bring the police, then you’d prepare to clean up your lover’s body!”

Wendy’s cries were heard on the phone, and then the call was hung up.

“Hey!” Amos called again, but what was left was the busy tone after the phone call ended.

He was extremely irritated, and he took a deep breath to suppress his emotions. Then, he looked up at Harley Louis next to him.

“You should go back!”

Harley was dumbstruck. “What’s going on?”

“Nothing. You must be tired too. He wants to meet us tomorrow, so you should go back now, have a good rest and recover your energy and strength.”

Upon hearing this, Harley looked at him suspiciously. “Really?”

Amos didn’t say anything else. He got up, and went to the lounge next to him to lie down.

Uh-huh?

Harley was a little convinced, but he was still suspicious.

“Thomas Shelby, that b*stard, I’ll teach him a lesson tomorrow.”

After that, he said to Amos again, “Have a good rest. I’ll bring some people here tomorrow morning.”

Amos waited for the sound of Harley’s footsteps to distance further, then he sat up from the bed to change into a set of casual sportswear. Then, he opened the door, and went out.

He happened to run into Clint Zuckerberg, who was a little confused seeing his laid back and relaxed demeanour.

“President Granger, what are you doing…”

Amos repeated what he said to Harley earlier, and Clint did not suspect him either. He thought that he was really going back to rest.

Amos went straight downstairs, and drove the car towards West Hill.

……

On West Hill, the wind of the season was blowing.

After Amos parked his car, his phone rang again.

“Destroy the sim card and throw it away! Then, walk 200 meters forward.”

It was Thomas’ voice. Amos frowned as he looked around him subconsciously. Was Thomas spying on him?

Thomas’ voice came from the phone again, “Hurry up, stop dawdling!”

After that, he kicked the person next to him. Amos faintly heard Eudora’s voice, and his face darkened.

Then, he pulled out the sim card to destroy it.

He closed the car door, and walked forward for 200 meters, as instructed by Thomas. His vision was suddenly bright and clear.

There was an abandoned factory not far ahead. At the first glance, it really looked like that factory in the States.

Amos frowned and thought, Thomas must have really bad intentions.

However, he still had to go.

When Eudora woke up again, she found herself suspended in the air, with her wrists being pulled by the rope. It hurt so much, as if her wrists would fall apart any second.

It was pitch black all around her, and she could only hear the sound of something cracking.

Her whole body tightened, and she felt goosebumps all over her body. Eudora always found this scene to be familiar, it subconsciously reminded her of a horrible idea in the depths of her heart.

Eudora could hear someone crying softly, and she instinctively looked to her sides, but she still couldn’t see anything.

But she guessed that it must be Wendy’s crying voice. In such a situation, her cries stimulated the horrible idea in her mind.

Eudora tried her best to refrain herself, but she couldn’t help but tremble profusely.

She didn’t how much time had past, until someone’s footsteps finally entered the vast space. She heard the sound of the iron door being pushed open.

Splash…

A ray of light finally lit up the dark space, followed by Thomas’ ferocious voice. “Amos, you’re finally here.”

Amos frowned. “Where are they?”

Thomas raised his hand to point, and Amos looked up. At a glance, he saw Wendy and Eudora being tied to the rows of fans on the factory building, side by side.

At the same time, Wendy saw Amos too. She couldn’t help but shout, “Amos!”

Amos looked at Eudora, who was next to her. She was very calm, but her face looked awful. Her body was full of whip marks and they were covered with blood stains.

Amos gritted his teeth as he looked at Thomas. “Let them go.”

Thomas pointed to the two people above, saying with a smile, “You’re the only one who could save them now! Now choose, which one do you want to save?”

“Thomas!” Amos gnashed his teeth. “I am the one you have a grudge on. How about I go up in exchange for the two of them?”

“No!” Thomas snorted coldly. “Amos, you are one cunning person. You wouldn’t give in unless I caught on to your weakness. If I were to let them go now, who’d guarantee that you won’t send someone to arrest me? Amos, did you think I was still as stupid as before?”

After that, he gently pulled a knot next to his hand. Wendy screamed when her rope dropped about a meter down.

They were at least four or five meters above the ground. If they were to fall, they would be either dead or disabled.

“Amos!” Wendy screamed with a pale face. Then, she began to have breathing difficulties again, and her limbs were struggling wildly.

On the other hand, Thomas burst out laughing. “How’s that? How do you feel to see your benefactor in such a state? Have you made up your mind? Who do you choose?”

“Thomas!” Amos gritted his teeth, stealing one glance at Eudora.

Eudora didn’t look at Amos at all, or rather, she didn’t dare to look at him. In fact, she already knew in her heart that Amos wouldn’t choose her.

It was just like what he said when Thomas was on the phone with him. They were just putting on a show, and she was the only one who took it seriously, like a fool.

“Have you not decided yet?” Thomas’ voice rang again. Amos opened his mouth slightly, looking at Wendy, who was already suffocating. He gritted his teeth and shouted, “Wendy Liam!”

Sure enough!

Eudora secretly formed a smile at the corner of her mouth, and the last ounce of hope at the bottom of her eyes instantly vanished into thin air.

“Good, very good!”

After saying that, Thomas hooked his finger at Amos and said, “Come to me, and I’ll let her go.”

Amos took a deep breath, he had no extra time to think about it at this time. He went straight to the spot where Thomas had told him to stand.

Thomas nodded with satisfaction as he said, “Amos, why were you so stubborn? If you had been this obedient earlier, and just cooperated with me, would you have ended up like this today?”

“Stop talking nonsense. Let her go!”

“You asked for it! Amos Granger! I just hope that you won’t regret it.”

Thomas blurted those words out of the blue, and Amos didn’t even realize what he had meant that instant.

The next thing he knew, Thomas had already started to lower Wendy. While Wendy was going down, Eudora who was next to her rose at the same time. The mouth of the exhaust station was right on top of her. It opened its mouth wide, like a monster preparing to devour people.

Amos felt a chill in his heart. “Thomas, what are you trying to do?”

Thomas laughed hysterically and said, “What do you think? Wasn’t this woman your toy? What’s wrong? Are you reluctant to part with her now?”
