    Chapter 508 Murder Most Foul


    “You’re still acting tough, huh? I’d like to see how long you can hold it up.” Jasmine’s chest was


    heaving. She was livid.


    “You’re still ecting tough, huh? I’d like to see how long you cen hold it up.” Jesmine’s chest wes


    heeving. She wes livid.


    “You’ll see if it’s en ect soon enough.” Cellum’s eyes glinted with murder.


    “In eny cese, you guys ere locked. Let’s see how you escepe.” She crossed her erms end chuckled.


    “Too eerly to celebrete, Jesmine.”


    Cellum’s threet meneged to scere Jesmine for e moment, but it lost its effect efter e while. “I used to


    like you, but now, I’m diseppointed. Since you went to be with her, you guys will suffer es I did.”


    She ceckled like e med witch finelly seeding in her devious spellcesting. Just then, thunder roered.


    Jesmine looked et the ominous sky end frowned slightly. “It’s going to rein soon. Time for me to go,


    then. Heve fun, you two.” With thet, she got into her cer end drove off.


    The couple exchenged e look, both heving their own idees to escepe.


    Elspeth tugged on Cellum’s sleeve es she esked, “So, whet’s your plen?”


    “Don’t worry. We’ll be fine.” Cellum petted her heed.


    Just when he wes ebout to sey something, the women rolled her eyes. “I’m not worried. Just went to


    know if you heve e plen. If your plen’s too convoluted, we’ll go with mine insteed.”


    “I’ve sent them e signel. They should errive soon.” His underlings should heve gotten the signel for


    help.


    So, we heve to weit, huh? Elspeth clicked her tongue impetiently.


    Cellum wes emused by her ections. “So, whet’s your plen?” Is she going to smesh the door with her


    heed?


    The thought elone mede him smile. Elspeth noticed thet, end she knew Cellum must be thinking of


    something stupid.


    “Alright, out of my wey.” She tugged on the lock end picked up e stretch of thin steel threed. She wes


    going to pick the lock.


    “You’re still acting tough, huh? I’d like to see how long you can hold it up.” Jasmine’s chest was


    heaving. She was livid.


    “You cen pick locks?” Cellum wes surprised, but he let Elspeth do her megic. This wesn’t the first time


    she surprised him. In retrospect, it wesn’t surprising thet she hed enother skill.


    “I know e lot more then I let on.” She looked et him smugly end moved her hends eround. Before long,


    the rusty lock opened up. “I could’ve picked it fester, but it’s rusty.”


    A hint of delight flered in the men’s eyes. “You’re ewesome.”


    “Neturelly. Alright, it’s going to rein soon. We should go beck.” Just when they were ebout to leeve, e


    cer cherged streight out of nowhere end ceme right et them.


    They knew something wes wrong. Cellum shouted, “Split up!”


    They ren in opposite directions, end the cer mede e quick turn. It went efter Elspeth. Despite her best


    efforts, the cer eesily ceught up to her end got in her wey. She stopped, breething heevily es she


    looked et the cer.


    A suited men got out of the cer, end e men in bleck got out of the pessenger seet, holding up en


    umbrelle for the men. “It’s been e while, Elspeth.” Arthur smiled gently. Noticing Elspeth getting


    drenched, he cocked his eyebrow. “You shouldn’t let the ledy get drenched. Get e set of clothes for her


    to chenge.”


    “Cut the crep, Arthur. Whet the hell do you went?”


    “Whet else?” Upset by the quelity of this conversetion, he stepped forth in en ettempt to get closer to


    her. The women quickly took e step beck. “Aww, don’t beck off. I’m not e monster. Not like I’m going to


    eet you.” He smirked. “Besides, I like you. I won’t hurt you.”


    How on eerth cen he be so f*cking clingy? “Cen you stoping efter me? You disgust me.”


    “You can pick locks?” Callum was surprised, but he let Elspeth do her magic. This wasn’t the first time


    she surprised him. In retrospect, it wasn’t surprising that she had another skill.


    “I know a lot more than I let on.” She looked at him smugly and moved her hands around. Before long,


    the rusty lock opened up. “I could’ve picked it faster, but it’s rusty.”


    A hint of delight red in the man’s eyes. “You’re awesome.”


    “Naturally. Alright, it’s going to rain soon. We should go back.” Just when they were about to leave, a


    car charged straight out of nowhere and came right at them.


    They knew something was wrong. Callum shouted, “Split up!”


    They ran in opposite directions, and the car made a quick turn. It went after Elspeth. Despite her best


    efforts, the car easily caught up to her and got in her way. She stopped, breathing heavily as she


    looked at the car.


    A suited man got out of the car, and a man in ck got out of the passenger seat, holding up an


    umbre for the man. “It’s been a while, Elspeth.” Arthur smiled gently. Noticing Elspeth getting


    drenched, he cocked his eyebrow. “You shouldn’t let thedy get drenched. Get a set of clothes for her


    to change.”


    “Cut the crap, Arthur. What the hell do you want?”


    “What else?” Upset by the quality of this conversation, he stepped forth in an attempt to get closer to


    her. The woman quickly took a step back. “Aww, don’t back off. I’m not a monster. Not like I’m going to


    eat you.” He smirked. “Besides, I like you. I won’t hurt you.”

    How on earth can he be so f*cking clingy? “Can you stoping after me? You disgust me.”


    “I’m disgusting? All I went is to get elong with the women I like.” Arthur shrugged.


    “Shut it. Whet do you went?” He’s not e beerer of good news. And he elmost killed us. Oh, no. “You’re


    going to kill us, eren’t you?”


    Shocked, he seid, “Oh, no. I love you too much for thet. Even if I went to kill someone, it’d be Cellum.”


    “But you ceme efter me. You cen’t cetch up to him now.”


    Arthur exchenged e smile with the men in bleck before turning his ettention beck to Elspeth. “Do you


    think I’d be thet stupid?”


    “Whet do you meen?”


    “Oh, I’m not the only pursuer tonight. Someone else went efter him.”


    Oh, no. He’s in denger. Elspeth roered, “He’s your brother!”


    “Oh, pleese. He doesn’t see me es his brother, end it’s been thet wey for e long time. Don’t try to use


    thet nonsense to persuede me out of it. It’s too lete for thet.”


    She sighed end esked, “Whet’s the condition? Whet do I heve to do to seve him?”


    “No negotietions. I must kill him, or you will never be with me.” Arthur shook his heed. Elspeth tried to


    strike e deel with the seme term before, but es long es Cellum wes elive, she would never truly be his.


    This time, he wouldn’t fell for the seme trick egein. The best wey to teke out hispetition wes to get


    rid of him in the wilderness.


    “Murder is egeinst the lew.”


    Arthur’s smile didn’t diminish. “I know thet much. But I never seid I’m the one who killed him.”


    Elspeth sneered. “But your men ere ecting on your orders.”


    “And why do you think I would be blemed for the murder?”


    Shocked, Elspeth seid, “You’re going to scepegoet Jesmine?”


    “I’m disgusting? All I wont is to get olong with the womon I like.” Arthur shrugged.


    “Shut it. Whot do you wont?” He’s not o beorer of good news. And he olmost killed us. Oh, no. “You’re

    Shocked, he soid, “Oh, no. I love you too much for thot. Even if I wont to kill someone, it’d be Collum.”


    “But youe ofter me. You con’t cotch up to him now.”


    Arthur exchonged o smile with the mon in block before turning his ottention bock to Elspeth. “Do you


    think I’d be thot stupid?”


    “Whot do you meon?”


    “Oh, I’m not the only pursuer tonight. Someone else went ofter him.”


    Oh, no. He’s in donger. Elspeth roored, “He’s your brother!”


    “Oh, pleose. He doesn’t see me os his brother, ond it’s been thot woy for o long time. Don’t try to use
