Chapter 1457

"Shut up!"

Rhea was furious as she raised her hand and slapped Austin across the face.

“You have no right to speak!"

This seemed to have woken her up, and she sneered, "You can try if you dare!"

Austin did not reply, and his mind began to spin.

He was gambling on whether the gun in Rhea's hand was real or just a prop to intimidate people.

‘What kind of place is this? We’re in the lab! If she shoots me, she can’t cover it up.

Law enforcement would soon discover my dead body; at this point, there must be other employees at the institute.

Doesn’t that mean she’d have to kill everyone?’ Austin did not believe that everyone in the laboratory knew what was happening behind the scenes, and he was one of them.He made a decision with that in mind.He cast a sideway glance at Rhea and grinned.

"I'll give it a try!"

With that, he began to sprint away.

He was as swift as the wind because of his tall build and long legs.He was already in the corridor in just a few strides.He did not dare to look back as he desperately ran forward.

However, he felt a sharp pain in his left leg the next second.He could not continue as he staggered and fell to his knees.

Then he began to roll forward uncontrollably a few times.

"Gah!"

Austin exclaimed in pain as he held onto his injured leg.His hands were covered in blood.

It was only at this point did he learn what real fear was.He had never felt this way before.

To him, Rhea was just another weak woman.

There was no way she would shoot someone with a gun.

Yet, now, she had shot his leg.

The sharp pain made him think his life was hanging on a thread.

At this time, Rhea walked over unhurriedly.

She was barefooted, yet her steps were elegant.

Rhea looked like she was dancing across the corridor.

Her face was cold and calm while twirling the gun.

Austin finally gave the gun a good look and noticed that it had a silencer. novelbin

No wonder he did not hear a gunshot when he felt the pain in his leg.

He held his leg with both hands and turned to look at the woman approaching him as he tried to back away.

However, his injury got the best of him.He could barely move an inch before falling to the ground again.

Rhea was unbothered as she slowly walked toward him.

Then she squatted and held the gun to his forehead.

Her smile seemed restrained and cruel.

"Are you going to try again?"

This time, Austin did not say a word.He stayed there quietly and did not even dare to move a muscle.

"Good!"

She gently patted his cheek and tilted her head with satisfaction.

Austin was still quiet.

How could he not be afraid when the woman had pointed a gun at his head? The pain in his leg reminded him that this woman was a lunatic.

He could not outrun her gun, after all.

Austin raised his gaze and turned to Thompson behind Rhea.

However, Thompson quickly looked away to avoid Austin's eyes.

It was a smart move.

Thompson should protect himself.

Why would he give up his life for Austin? Moreover, Thompson would not dare to call the police because he knew too much.

To some extent, he was considered a part of all this.

"Okay, I'll join you!"

Austin suddenly exclaimed as he held both his hands up.

He had no choice since he knew there was no escape.

If he could not beat them, his only option was to join them.
