Chapter 1656
Shiloh gave Andrew a discreet thumbs up. โAndrew, youโre really something now!โ
Andrew smiled faintly but didnโt say anything in response.
Aspen turned to glance at Christina hurrying away, biting her lip as a complex expression flickered through her eyes.
Lauren chuckled softly, โWhatโs wrong, Aspen? Feeling sorry for her?โ
Aspen shook her head with a forced smile. โIโm pretty ruthless. I donโt have room for sympathy. I just never expected sheโd actually start from the bottom as a server and work her way up step by step.โ
Francesca suggested gently, โAspen, maybe you should go talk to Ms. Christina privately? After all, you two were once like sisters!โ
Aspen hesitated for a moment before declining, โNo, Iโd better not go over there. If I do, Iโm afraid I wonโt be able to control myself and might remember what happened back then and say something cruel to her.โ
The food arrived, and everyone began eating.
Shiloh ate incredibly fast but maintained perfect table manners throughout. Despite being a lady, and an ageless, mystical one at that, every movement she made carried an invisible charm.
Seeing how happily she was eating, no one bothered to interrupt her.
After wiping her mouth, Shiloh set down her fork and looked at Andrew with a serious expression.
Andrew was puzzled, โWhatโs wrong? Donโt you like the food?โ
Shiloh shook her head and glanced in a certain direction. โOver thereโฆ someoneโs got their eye on you.โ
Andrew followed her gaze to see a man in a leather jacket sitting by the window on the other side of the restaurant, head down as he ate.
Even from a distance, Andrew could make out the manโs thick beard covering most of his face.
โHeโs targeting me? That guy?โ Andrew did not notice anything unusual and could not help but question, โShiloh, are you sure youโre not seeing things?โ
Shiloh picked up a piece of meat and popped it in her mouth, chewing thoughtfully before responding with satisfaction, โIโm not seeing things because Iโm not even using my eyes to look.โ
She explained matter-of-factly, โIโm sensing through intuition that the man is projecting intense killing intent toward you.โ Andrew raised his hand to signal them to stay calm and not blow their cover. Looking at Shiloh with a relaxed smile, he asked, โCheck again. Is he still directing that murderous intent at me?โ
Shiloh narrowed her eyes and grinned. โItโs definitely aimed at you, and itโs not ordinary killing intent either. Itโs extremely intense! Do you want me to handle him for you?โ
Andrew stood up and headed toward the restroom. โNo need. You all keep eating, Iโll be right back!โ
If anyone else had talked about sensing killing intent, Andrew would have thought they were full of it and showing off. However, Shiloh was different. Her true capabilities remained a mystery to Andrew even now, but he could be certain of one thing: Shilohโs martial arts skills were incredibly advanced, at least at the martial king level or higher.
Moreover, she possessed some kind of mystical sensory abilities that were genuinely supernatural. Since she said that the man wanted to kill him, Andrew believed it was most likely true.
So, he left the table and headed into the menโs restroom. His purpose, of course, was to lure the enemy into his trap.
Just as Andrew had anticipated, the moment he left his seat and walked toward the restroom, the bearded man in the leather jacket stood up. He casually wiped his mouth with a napkin, pretending nothing was amiss.
His phone was still playing a livestream of an adorable lady singing, and he watched with a sleazy smile as he casually followed after Andrew. Anyone looking at him would have thought he was a perverted weirdo in a heartbeat.
The moment he entered the menโs restroom, the bearded manโs perverted expression vanished completely. In its place was a gold-toothed grin that was particularly menacing.
He reached toward his waistband without hesitation. Out came a short, thick piece of hardwareโhis signature Golden Desert Eagle.
He raised it with one hand and aimed straight for the back of Andrewโs head. โGoodbye!โ
The sound of the gunshot exploded through the restroom.
