Chapter 511: He Must Have Known

Translator: Atlas Studios    Editor: Atlas Studios

Does he know, or does he not know?

Why would he even send the handgun to me if he didn’t know?

But if he knows, why did he only send the handgun?!

If he knows, wouldn’t he be charging here himself to kill me with this handgun?!

Why, why?!

Huo Shi shot up from his chair in a panic and paced about in the room.

His face was pale, his forehead covered in sweat.

“Second Master…

His subordinate called out a few times, but it was useless. It was as if he could not hear anything.

Huo Shi looked tense and was muttering something softly, as though possessed. As he walked around, his expression changed time and again.

His subordinate was so frightened that he stood quietly at the side and did not dare to speak. He was contemplating if he should call for a doctor.

At this moment, Huo Shi suddenly shouted, “Come here!”

His subordinate was startled.

“The phone! Bring the phone! Hurry!’

The subordinate hurriedly took out a phone and handed it to him.

Huo Shi held the phone and opened it with trembling hands, but he did not dare to call anyone.

Should I call the Old Master?

However, does the Old Master even know about this?

If he doesn’t, calling him would be the same as admitting to it myself!

But If he knows, is there even any point in calling him?

Huo Shi’s fingers swiped across the screen as he looked through the numbers in his contact list. He had no idea who he could call, what he could say, or what he could do…

Huo Shi wavered. Ultimately, he made up his mind. He raised his eyes towards the ceiling, feeling a little dizzy, but he steadied himself and finally made the call to Huo Jinyan.

Every ring coming from the phone was like a blow to Huo Shi’s heart. His heartbeat was abnormally fast. He did not know if Huo Jinyan would buy his excuse.

However, after a while, a robotic female voice came from the phone. “Sorry, the number you have called is not available…”

Huo Shi was stunned. The sweat on his face dripped onto the carpet, while the phone in his hand slid and fell with a thud.

As though confronted with an impossible foe, his knees gave and he fell weakly onto the sofa.

“It’s over. It’s over. He knows. He definitely knows.”

His subordinate looked at him and also started to worry.

Hearing his words, he felt a chill run down his spines.

If Huo Jinyan knows, then every one of us…

He did not even dare to think about whether they would be able to survive, what with Huo Jinyan’s methods…

Huo Shi suddenly sat down on the carpet and fumbled for the fallen phone. His hand trembled as he dialed the number again.

“Jinyan… ”

“Sorry, the number you have called is unavailable…” Huo Shi continued calling.

“Answer the phone! Answer the damn phone!”

“Sorry, the number you have called is unavailable…”

The veins on Huo Shi’s forehead bulged as he continued to tap the call button.

“Huo Jinyan! Pick up the phone! It wasn’t me!”

“Sorry. the number you have called is unavailable…

Huo Shi had completely lost his strength. He sat there with a hollow gaze and chucked the phone away.

The phone slammed against the wall. It cracked, and fell to the ground.

“Second Master… maybe the situation’s not that bad…”

Huo Shi suddenly looked up at him. “Get lost! Scram! All of you!’

The subordinate looked at Huo Shi and did not say anything else. He turned around and left nervously.

When he walked out, there were many people standing outside the door. When they saw him come out, they all left with him as well.

However, none of them could calm down.

If Huo Jinyan knew about all these, can we still survive?

Huo Shi had the Old Masters protection, so he might be able to survive, but we have no one to protect us…
