Betrayed, But Not Defeated novel Chapter 54

Mason started dressing frantically as he shouted, "Kill him!"

Being interrupted during such an act would fill anyone with rage, let alone being interrupted by someone he despised.

Adam hesitated for a moment.

Moments earlier, he had tried to lock onto Daniel's position. But frustratingly, he couldn't. However, upon hearing Mason's command, he dared not delay and could only strike forcefully.

"Die!" Adam roared angrily.

Daniel raised his foot and flicked a shard of debris off the ground.

The shard instantly pierced through Adam's forehead, leaving Adam frozen in place. "M-Mr. Keaton, quick… Run!"

As the words fell, Adam collapsed, lifeless.

Mason's expression changed, and he suddenly realized why Daniel had appeared there.

He quickly pulled out a gun from under the pillow and aimed it at Daniel. "You bastard! How dare you kill someone from the Keaton family? Do you know what this means?"

Despite his vicious tone, Mason was secretly trying to call for help.

Daniel looked at Mason with a playful expression. "Don't bother, Mr. Keaton. The person you're looking for probably isn't coming."

Daniel pulled out Adrian's phone, which displayed Mason's name.

Mason was in shock.

Adrian... had also fallen?

Mason immediately pulled the trigger, and as flames erupted from the muzzle, Daniel vanished eerily.

Before Mason could react, Daniel's finger was already pressing against his forehead.

"Bang," Daniel said softly, and Mason's head instantly exploded.

"Ahhh!" The woman Mason had nearly strangled earlier screamed, drenched in blood.

"It's confirmed, Mr. Keaton Senior. Mr. Mason's death alert has been triggered. It's highly likely that he's—" The subordinate's head suddenly exploded.

"Impossible!" William roared, his powerful energy erupting and forcing everyone else to tremble in fear.

"Father, we must investigate this matter thoroughly," Zachary Keaton said calmly.

William looked at Zachary abruptly, taking a deep breath. "Fine. Take people there. Even if you have to slaughter all of Qranross, you must avenge Mason!"

A cruel smile appeared at the corner of Zachary's lips. "Yes, Father! As you wish!"

Zachary stood up, stepping out from the shadows.

Zachary was William's eldest son, and he was infamous throughout Gimlin. He was a terrifying figure capable of making children stop crying at the mere mention of his name.

The Keaton family had kept him out of the public eye for a long time to curb his bloodthirsty nature.

Now that Zachary was leading a group to Qranross, Qranross would surely run red with blood.
