1294: Hawkins’s Faith
Who would have thought that that traitor Bachard would actually hate him because of Vincent?! He wouldn’t be able to have his own child, which was why he took his brother-in-law’s son as his own! Wouldn’t it be great if Vincent was able to take over the Hess family?
However, Bachard wanted him dead over such a small matter!
Seeing how his men were all panting and trying to survive, Eddie’s face was filled with horror and fear.
He still couldn’t understand how everything happened!
Even if the Hess family were the supporters of the Medical Federation, he wasn’t the one that kidnapped Ling Siqi and killed Mrs. Feng! He wasn’t even the one that killed Saka. Why were all of them coming after him?
The Di family from Country Z, the Tang Sect, as well as the Little Family…
He would understand why these people wanted him dead.
Hawkins was the one who messed with both the Di family and Tang Sect first, he even killed Saka! Eddie was also the one who took away Vincent from his parents. All of that made sense!
However, what about El’s men and those that their grandfather gave to Jiamo?!
As the head of the Hess family, he obviously knew the forces of each of his family members with the back of his hand.
...
All of the forces that their grandfather left behind for Jiamo went to El. In the beginning, he was afraid of him, since El was a powerful man and there was nothing he could do to him. Plus, El didn’t demand much from the Hess family, which was why he was able to live peacefully with El all these years.
Ever since Jiamo’s death, other than the forces that he already had, El was like a walking zombie.
He never understood how a man like him would be able to harm him!
Then there were the two major forces in the Delta- AO2 and the Sanctuary. Both of them had joined into murdering him as well.
Why though?!
He might have tried to stop AO2 from developing and progressing into a bigger company and they had beef in the past, but all of this was business! Wasn’t it a normal thing for different companies to try and stop each other and hinder each other from being successful?!
Plus, since the AO2 came up with the most advanced weapons and became the richest company on earth, Eddie no longer tried to piss off the other party. He even tried to be nice to them.
Even if the AO2 were working with the Di family now, he wouldn’t be so involved in this matter that even the AO2 wanted him dead!
The other party that he couldn’t understand was the Sanctuary!
He had been working closely with Z from the Sanctuary. Most of the time, when the Hess family wanted to do something evil, they would always ask for help from the Sanctuary.
With such a friendly relationship, why would those from the Sanctuary want to kill him?
...
With so many forces trying to kill him, even if he was still the head of the Hess family, it would be impossible for him to defeat all of them. Plus, all of the forces that he had were wiped out from under him when he wasn’t aware of it, making it even more difficult.
“Mr Eddie, you have a tough crime to fight here. The governor was the one who arrested you, and if you ran away from prison, you would be a fugitive. If I were you, I would stay put in this place and not go anywhere else on my own. There are so many countries involved in the gene lab, and there are thousands of crimes charged against you. If you escaped from here, they would be able to ruin you in seconds. No one would be able to save you, not even the governor.”
Seeing how a ‘nobody’ was able to roast him, Eddie felt pissed.
He really hoped that this was just a bad dream.
Was there anyone who could actually tell him what really happened? Why were there so many major forces that were trying to kill him?!
The other person who felt even more dejected than him was Hawkins.
His crimes had already been judged and he would be sent to prison soon.
Compared to developing countries, the prison in the Centrals was like a vacation home.
Each criminal would have their own room and there would be television, video games, and a kitchen for them to prepare their own meals. It was the best that you could find.
However, even with such conditions, how would it satisfy the Director of the Medical Federation?
As he thought of how Di Jinqian was the one who put him in such a miserable state, Hawkins’s heart was dripping with poison.
...
“Why hasn’t anyone from my family been here to save me? As for that b*tch, Di Jinqian, and her husband, Zhan Lichuan, are they dead yet?!”
“Hmmm? You want me dead?”
Hawkins was staying in the largest room available, but he still wasn’t happy with it. Hawkins then booked the whole building, and other than his own men, no one else was allowed to enter this place.
As for his men, in order to take good care of him, all of them committed enough crimes to be sent into the same prison.
When Hawkins heard the familiar voice, he jumped.
This was because he knew that this was none other than Di Jinqian.
“Di Jinqian!” Hawkins roared in rage as he looked at the direction where the voice came from. Then, he saw Zhan Lichuan, Di Jinqian, and Du Yanzheng walking towards him.
They were all holding onto a walking cane.
As they were in prison, they were not allowed to bring any weapons. So, when Hawkins saw their canes, he knew that these three were up to no good.
Hawkins hated these three the most.
If it wasn’t for them, the Medical Federation wouldn’t have ended up in such a sorry state.
...
Although they were in prison, it was nothing for Hawkins. He only had to stay here for some time, then his mother and uncle would save him from this place.
“Hahaha! You caused me to be in this state, and I didn’t even get the chance to see you, but you decided to send yourself here instead,” Hawkins mocked as a cold smile appeared on his face.
Jinqian noticed that Hawkins was sitting on a couch with a robe on, and his hair was wet as well.
There was a swimming pool behind him, and from how he was dressed, he must have gone for a swim earlier. Hawkins was now enjoying a cigarette and cut up fruits with a few muscular men behind him, who were acting at his bodyguards.
“Why are you angry? Just because you’ve finally met me? I thought you would be thankful towards us. If it wasn’t for us, how would you be able to stay in such a comfortable holiday home?
“Just take a look at yourself. Those who know you may be able to understand that you’re in prison, but those who don’t may think that you’re only here for a holiday,” Jinqian spoke in a mocking tone as well.
When Hawkins heard how he was being mocked, his eyes were filled with rage. A cruel and blood-thristy smile appeared on his face. He took the cigarette from his mouth and gently flicked it with his fingers. The cigarette bud spinned in the air, and there was a bright flame seen as it fell onto the ground.
Then, all of the men around him rushed towards Jinqian, Zhan Lichuan, and Du Yanzheng.
Although there were only 20 men here, Hawkins still did not find the need to panic. This was because there were at least 50 more mercenaries here. Since they did not enter the prison by usual means, there were no beds for them, and they could only hide secretly around him.
Hawkins wasn’t worried at all. He had at least 80 men with him now, and there were many more of them left in the prison who would be willing to die for him. There were at least 100 of them, and they would definitely be able to defeat Jinqian.
An interesting smile appeared on Hawkin’s face.
...
Seeing how his men were fighting them, Hawkins chuckled, “Di Jinqian, I’m just curious. Where did you find the confidence to just walk in here thinking that you would be able to walk out alive?”
“Hawkins, this is the prison in Area A of Centrals. Did you really think you would be able to walk out of this place?”
Hawkins stared at Jinqian as if she was looking at an idiot.
He couldn’t help but laugh.
“I always thought of you as a woman who was as cunning as a fox. You were able to trick me badly, and even sent me to prison. This is the first time that someone has ever done this to me. You may have been smart before, but how could you be so stupid now?
“Oh? I understand now. Di Jinqian, Zhan Lichuan, Du Yanzheng, did you think that the prison here would be the same as Country Z? Hahaha!!! Don’t you know that the police forces here are under the control of the Hess family?
“Just look at where I’m staying now! This place was packed with prisoners earlier, but due to the fact that I did not like staying with such a huge crowd, the warden moved all of them out of this building.
“Take a guess. Do you think that he will actually care if I kill all three of you?”
Jinqian was still beating up one of the men when she sneered, “So, you’re saying that the warden works for you?”
“Hahaha!!!” Hawkins broke into a loud laughter. “Di Jinqian, you suck at trying to trick information out of others. Did you really think that I have no idea what you’re trying to do? But… There are signal blockers here and you will not be able to begin a livestream inside here. Although I know what you’re trying to do, I can still tell you everything that you want to hear.
“You’re right. The warden works for the Hess family. Their entire family works for us. Do you think that he would listen to you or me?
...
“Right here, today, this place will be where you die! Even if you lay in a pool of blood, no one will save you. As for everything that happens here, no one outside of this place will be able to find out about it.
“Oh! My two younger brothers! I have tried to kill the both of you, but failed every time. I already gave up on that idea, but now that you bought yourself here, you shall die too!
“Please don’t blame me for this. With both of you around, it would be incredibly difficult for me to take over the Hess family. Both of you will have to die for that to happen. So, I’m terribly sorry, but you two will have to die with Di Jinqian here today.”
Before he could continue, Jinqian turned her walking cane into a weapon.
Those men who stayed by Hawkins’ side were waiting for their other comrades to be defeated before joining the fight. All of them were initially looking at the fight as if it was just a show. However, all of a sudden, there was something that appeared by their neck and it instantly disappeared. They could clearly see that there was blood rushing out of their throats, and they were all shocked.
Everything just happened and they were having such a long conversation. The three of them didn’t get to kill any of his men, but all of a sudden, the tables had turned.
No one knew what happened, but all of the men around Hawkins fell to the ground.
Hawkins’s eyes trembled when he saw what happened.
He was still arrogant and fearless a minute ago, but now he was looking cautious.
He was still trying his best to act as if all of this was nothing.
“You’re good. I didn’t think you would have such skills. What was that? I didn’t even get to see a thing, and my men have already fallen to the ground.”
Jinqian smiled as she said, “Something that can kill you instantly.”
With that said, Zhan Lichuan and Du Yanzheng attacked the four men that were standing by Hawkins’s side.
Hawkins could only catch a glimpse of it.
It was as if it was from his imagination.
This was because they were moving too quickly.
When he heard the soft groans next to him, he noticed that all of the men next to him had holes in their necks. They didn’t even have time to react.
At this point, Hawkins finally realized how terrifying these three were.
There was finally fear in his eyes.
“Men! Come here!”
Hawkins ran into his room.
This was because there was a window in his room, connected to the backyard once he pulled the window away.
There were at least 50 more of his men outside.
He didn’t understand why his men did not rush in when they heard the commotion inside. However, he now understands that Di Jinqian, Zhan Lichuan and Du Yanzheng could boldly walk into this place because they had deadly weapons with them.
These weapons…
Were things that he had never seen!
Hawkins ran for his life and threw things behind him as he ran. He was afraid there was a hole that may pierce through his neck.
Jinqian and the two men were like cats chasing after rats. They allowed him to run while they slowly got rid of the other men left in the corridor.
When Hawkins arrived in his room and pulled open the window, the scene before him had a huge impact, as if lightning had struck him.
This was because all of the men that his mother sent here to protect him were killed by hand.
Those who killed them were… From the Hess family!
Why would these men kill his bodyguards?!
Was Eddie trying to kill him?
That would be impossible!
Hawkins widened his eyes in shock as he felt confused.
He slowly turned around and saw Jinqian, who was smiling at him. Standing next to her was Du Yanzheng and Zhan Lichuan. Hawkins couldn’t help but gulp.
Then, he looked at those men who had killed his bodyguards.
As the young master of the Hess and the Hills, he was sure that there was no use speaking to these people.
Hawkins got on his knees and said to his brothers, “Second Brother, Third Brother, please have mercy on me! Just this once! It’s… It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have gone after the two of you for a stupid position. If you set me free this time, I can sign an agreement with you to ensure that I am willing to give up my position.”
With that, Jinqian started her revenge.
The cane in her arms turned into a sharp blade, and without any hesitation, she went after his right arm.
Hawkins was about to shoot them when he noticed that he was in trouble, but his arm had fallen to the ground.
His arm was already on the ground, which meant that he lost his gun.
Hawkins was aware of how he was in a bad position, but he thought that these people would be afraid of him.
Seeing how this woman instantly chopped off his arm without any ethics, Hawkins no longer felt afraid. He was now pissed.
“F**k! F**k! Ahhh! Di Jinqian! Do you know who I am?! How dare you do this to me? How dare you hurt me?!
Boom!
With another sound, Zhan Lichuan aimed at Hawkins’s knee and shot him through the knee.
Hawkins let out another painful cry, and with the pain that he was feeling from his arm, he curled up on the ground, no longer looking as alive as he did before.
Jinqian smiled as she looked at the camera and said, “Big brother, what do you think of this? I have already taken revenge for my sister-in-law. Are you happy with it?”
Di Yunxi’s voice appeared from their headphones as he said, “En. I am. There’s nothing left for me here. You should take revenge for Ah Chuan and Yanzheng next.”
“Alright.”
Di Jinqian smiled at the man who was on the ground. He was no longer looking arrogant. Instead, he was filled with fear.
“Mr. Hawkins, those are just gifts that I’ve presented to you for kidnapping my sister-in-law and nephew. Do you like them?”
Like them?
What the f**K?!
He was about to pee in his pants!
“I’m sorry, Miss Di! Please let me go! As long as you can do that, I will do whatever you want me to! My… My mother is the elder of the Hess family. I can get her to give you all the money that you want! I… I can even give you the Medical Federation.”
Hawkins finally realized that he was doomed today.
No one would have thought that these men would so boldly walk into the prison.
Although he was willing to fight for the Medical Federation as well as the Hess family, his life was at stake now. He could only let go of all these things in exchange for his life.
“If you don’t believe me, I… I can call for the lawyer. I can give you my shares! What… What do you think?”
“Nothing,” Du Yanzheng replied in a cold tone. “Due to what you have done, my brother was paralyzed. He almost died. Do you think that your measly amount of shares would be enough to compensate for my brother’s life?!”
Hawkins knew that there was no use for him in saying anything.
“I never thought of killing him! I was just afraid that he might return to the Hess family. I only meant to injure him so that he wouldn’t be able to return home! I never killed him!”
“The only reason why you didn’t kill him was because you always thought that you’d get the answer to the gene lab with his blood. It wasn’t because you had mercy on him,” Jinqian revealed the truth.
“No! I… I never!”
“You can kill me but you are not allowed to lay hands on my brother! Do you understand?” Du Yanzheng asked.
“Of course! I will never do it again!” Hawkins nodded his head frantically.
