โHand it over. Let me piece the full map together,โ Rafael said, extending his palm.
However, Quinton did not budge โ in fact, he took a step back, his whole body edging closer to the front door.
Rafaelโs eyes narrowed, and a cold gleam flashed in them. โQuinton, what do you think youโre doing? Are you playing games with me now?โ
Quinton smiled harmlessly. โMr. Driscoll, I wouldnโt dare play games with you. But you know how it isโit never hurts to be cautious. If I just hand this over and you two decide to go back on your word, then Iโd be handing steak to wolves.โ
Mosby chuckled. โRelax, Quinton. We promised you a share of the treasure, and weโll honor that.โ
Quinton snorted. โI want more than a share. I have two conditions. First, Grand Viper is your man. Youโre going to get him to kill Andrew for me. I donโt care what it takesโI want that bastard dead. Every second heโs still breathing, I feel like the skyโs collapsing on me.โ
Mosby agreed immediately, โDone. No problem at all.โ
He sneered inwardly. Quintonโs got that same bitter fireโฆ guess heโs tasted Andrewโs wrath too. Finally, someone else whoโs been through the same hell as me.
He actually felt a bit comforted. Misery really did love company.
Quinton clenched his fists. โSecond condition โ Grand Viper also has to kill the head of the Wright family.โ
Rafael blinked, then gave a twisted grin. โThe head of the Wright family? Youโre planning to off your own father?โ
Quinton let out a guttural scream. โThat senile bastard is not my father! The moment he made me regard Andrew as my godfather, he lost that title for good. Heโs been riding high as family head long enough. The second he drops dead, the Wrights are mine. Then, Iโll be the one living large.โ
His smile twisted into something unhinged, eyes gleaming with lunacy.
Mosby did not even flinch. โOf course, Quinton. Consider it done. But now that your conditions are out in the open, itโs time to hand over that final piece of the map, yes?โ
Quinton hesitated for a second, then clenched his jaw and stepped forward. โFine. Iโm trusting you with this. Donโt make me regret it.โ
Trying to suppress his excitement, Mosby kept his face neutral as he accepted the final fragment. He laid it out on the table, and at that moment, the complete treasure map was finally assembled.
โMr. Driscoll, weโre good!โ Mosby said cheerfully, forming an okay with his fingers and snapping once toward Rafael.
That snap was not just a celebration. It was their private signal, hinting that the deal was done, and it was time to clean up.
Rafaelโs smile darkened. He glanced up toward the second floor and shouted, โGrand Viper! Do you still want to kill the Wrights? Well, guess what โ this oneโs useless now. This idiot wanted a share of the treasureโheโs not worth the air he breathes. Come down. Take your time. Kill him, torture himโwhatever makes you happy.โ
With that, Rafael and Mosby turned away, already immersed in analyzing the full map. They completely ignored Quinton and the look of betrayal that was burning in his eyes.
โYโYou lying bastards!โ Quinton screamed. His legs gave out, and a stream of urine trickled down his pants as he collapsed in horror, his voice breaking into a howl.
โYou treacherous bastards! Screw you all!โ
