Tom was so shocked by what Shane said that a bead of sweat rolled down his forehead.

"It's pointless to talk about this now, Mr. Shane. Now that it has come to this, we should work together and figure out a way to kill both of them."

Then, he looked at Bonnie and Ivor, his eyes brimming with menace.

"We brought with us dozens of bodyguards, Mr. Shane. And there are only two of them. We'll just kill them right now and announce to the public that they were buried in the tunnel because of a freak accident. It'll achieve the same result."

Shane thought about what he said and found that it made sense.

'Fighting with Tom wouldn't help my situation one bit. My priority should be killing both of them now. Only then could we carry on with our plan.'

"You got a point! We'll take care of them first and leave the rest until after that."

"Exactly. I'm so happy that you see reason, Mr. Shane." Tom was counting on creating a sense of camaraderie with Shane, so the latter wouldn't blame him for anything.

'Once that's established, there's no way Shane will find fault with me in the future.

'All that's left now is to kill off Ivor and Bonnie! As long as I keep doing everything Shane wants, he's going to remember how useful I am when he finds success.'

The more he thought about it, the more Tom felt thrilled.

Turning around, he yelled, "Gather around, everyone!"

There were only several bodyguards with them earlier. Now, however, dozens of bodyguards came out of the mounds at his order.

They formed ranks and created a sea of black.

Ivor saw it and pursed his lips. Stepping forward, he shielded Bonnie behind his back.

"Don't be afraid, Bonnie. I'll keep you safe."

He didn't say or do anything just now because they talked it over back at the tunnel.

'She insisted on teaching Shane and Tom a lesson with her own hands. That's why I reluctantly agreed to let her do it.

'Now, however, things are different. I have to step forward and keep her safe. No harm is going to befall her as long as I'm around."

"I'll be fine. I'm not afraid because I know you're here with me," she said confidently, her eyes brimming with fearlessness.

'I've never been afraid under these circumstances, nor have I shied away in the past.

'Death is the worst thing that can happen to me. That's not a big deal at all.

"Very well!" He responded solemnly. Holding her hand, he clasped her fingers.

They felt each other's warmth through their palms, which provided both of them with an infinite supply of courage.

Shane saw what they were doing, and his eyes were filled with mockery.

"Heh... You guys are such a lovely couple. It's such a shame that you'll be dead soon."

She met his gaze. There was nothing but coldness and tenacity in her eyes.

"This isn't your call to make, Shane! We control our own fates. We don't need you to tell us how things are going to end for us."

"Keep up with the tough talk! Take a look at your situation now. Do I have to spell it out for you? There are only two of you. How are you guys supposed to win my bodyguards? There are dozens of them. "Perhaps you should just save your breath. You might as well get on your knees and apologize. Tell me you're wrong, and start begging for your lives. Let me hear it. That way, I might consider giving you a quick death."

Shane was very sure that both of them could never slip through his fingers.

'Yeah. Both of them are pretty good fighters. How's that going to help them, though? I've got dozens of bodyguards with me. I could just keep sending them to fight until they ran out of stamina. How are they supposed to be fighting against me now?'

She sneered in response. Just as she was about to say something, she heard a deep voice from nearby.
