Chapter 437: Put to Death

Seeing that Karl’s face turned a little unfriendly, Parker immediately added: “I’m worried that you won’t fulfill your promise.”

It would be more accurate to say that Parker was explaining for Carl rather than doubting Tang Shuo.

However, his words did not have much effect, and Tang Shuo did not even pay any attention to them.

Tang Shuo was of course aware that Parker would not agree to his proposal. Seeing the anger on Carl's face, he felt a little relieved.

In fact, he was already at the end of his strength, and the injuries on his legs made it difficult for him to move.

If Parker dared to take the risk and attack him directly at this time, he would most likely be subdued by the other party before he could even hurt Carl. But now Parker would be more cautious and might even think of leaving him to die.

Tang Shuo's guess was not wrong. Parker had indeed begun to think about what would happen after Carl was killed.

He was completely certain that he had offended Karl in this matter. If Karl was really safe and sound in the end, then given the other party's petty character, he would definitely make trouble for him again in the future.

If Carl was killed in the end, he only needed to disguise himself deliberately, and he would most likely not be punished but would be praised instead.

Thinking of this, Parker actually hoped that Tang Shuo could kill Carl directly and he would take care of it in the end.

Even when negotiating with Parker, Tang Shuo did not stop.

He held Carl against the fire axe and slowly moved toward the door of the wine cellar.

However, every step he took left a bloody footprint under his injured left foot. His condition was extremely miserable.

In this deadlock, everyone walked out of the wine cellar door and headed towards the front yard of the manor.

Tang Shuo's feet felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and due to excessive blood loss, even his consciousness began to become a little blurry.

He bit his tongue and could only rely on the pain to stay awake.

At this time, a tall bodyguard ran over with a mobile phone. After seeing the situation in front of him, he was stunned where he was.

After resolving the issue of Tang Shuo's intrusion, everyone except a few bodyguards guarding the cellar dispersed, and the tall bodyguard also turned around and went back to his room to rest.

Who would have thought that in just a few minutes, Carl was kidnapped!

Seeing everyone's eyes on him, the tall bodyguard murmured twice and whispered, "Miranda called. She said she has something important to discuss with you."

Karl immediately turned his inquiring gaze to Tang Shuo. The blood-stained fire axe was now pressed against his throat. He was afraid to even swallow, let alone speak.

Tang Shuo instantly knew that Monkey had handed the videotape to Miranda, but the other party should now be trying to find a way to release the videotape, so why would he call Carl?

Is he here to save me?

Tang Shuo suppressed his inner joy and extended his hand to the tall bodyguard, saying, "Give me the phone."

Seeing that Karl agreed to this matter, the tall bodyguard stepped forward and handed the phone to Tang Shuo.

Tang Shuo then handed the phone to Karl and said, "Call back."

Carl pointed at the fire axe, and after Tang Shuo created a little space, he immediately took out Miranda's phone number and called her back.

In fact, Karl was now also very confused about Miranda's intention in calling. Although he and Miranda could be considered quasi-relatives, they were not on good terms with each other. In fact, because of business reasons, the two sides were even competitors.

"What do you want from me?" Karl asked after the call was connected.

"I have a video that I think you might be interested in, so I called to ask." Miranda's voice came out of the receiver.

"What video?" Carl asked puzzledly.

"The video was recorded more than an hour ago." Miranda said slowly, "Besides you, it seems your stepmother...Ms. Mary is also in it."

“…”

Carl then looked at Tang Shuo in astonishment. It was not until this moment that he suddenly woke up. It turned out that the helper behind Tang Shuo was Miranda!

Tang Shuo heard the conversation between the two and was about to tell Miranda about his current situation so that she could come and rescue him.

But Miranda's next words made Tang Shuo swallow his words completely.

"In exchange for the two casinos in Basel, I'll give you one minute to consider it." Miranda stated her request directly.

Switzerland's land area is not large, but it has twenty-one casinos, more than half of which are owned by the Lawrence family, and casinos are also the Lawrence family's largest business.

Miranda had previously invested a huge amount of money in a casino in Basel. Perhaps due to the unfamiliar environment, the casino's business was not good since its opening. Later, it was robbed at gunpoint and returned home empty-handed.

According to the investigation, Miranda finally found out that it was the Lawrence family who was behind the incident, and the feud between the two sides began.

Karl looked at Tang Shuo doubtfully. After a moment of silence, he said, "How do I know if what you said is true?"

"You know whether it's true or not." Miranda answered very confidently, and then said: "You only have thirty seconds left." Go up to the stage.

Aren’t Tang Shuo and Miranda in the same group?

Why didn't the other party mention anything about Tang Shuo?

Is it just a coincidence?

Karl's mind raced as he carefully recalled the entire incident.

In reality, Carl wasn't stupid; he was actually quite a bit smarter than most people. It was just that he had been living a life of extravagance and debauchery since childhood, and as he grew up, his life was smooth sailing, without any setbacks.

Tang Shuo on the other side was also thinking about what he should do now. He was now suspicious of Miranda's motives, but he was not sure whether the other party wanted to blackmail Carl through this incident.

Did I take the royal family's affection for granted?

"I can promise you, but the family casino is not under my name." Carl said, "You need to give me time."

"certainly."

Miranda's voice sounded again: "But you need to sign two agreements first."

"What agreement?" Carl asked.

"I'm at Claridge's Hotel, come over now." Miranda replied with a smile and then hung up the phone.

Hearing a busy tone on the phone, Karl picked up the phone and tentatively said to Tang Shuo: "She asked us to go to Claridge's Hotel."

He deliberately changed "I" to "we" in order to test Tang Shuo's attitude.

Tang Shuo didn't say anything, but his body suddenly shook slightly.

After biting his tongue again to sober himself up, he took the phone from Karl's hand.

While motioning Karl to keep going, he quickly dialed a number.

Tang Shuo now doesn't dare to pin his hopes on Miranda. If Carl really reaches an agreement with Miranda in the end, then all his efforts will be in vain.

Parker, who was following behind the two of them, frowned, but in the end did not say anything.

He had actually seen that Tang Shuo was exhausted, but he was at a loss as to how to deal with Tang Shuo.

"Mason, is Monkey with you?" Tang Shuo asked as soon as the phone was connected.

"Um!"

Mason on the other end of the phone agreed, and soon, Monkey's voice came over. "Captain, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Tang Shuo asked solemnly, "Where's the videotape?"

"I gave it to Miranda," replied the monkey, "but I kept a copy."

"Very good." Tang Shuo, despite the discomfort, said, "If there's no news before eight o'clock in the morning, just send out the video."

Carl was shocked. Although he was a little unsure, he could guess that the video Tang Shuo was talking about should be the same one Miranda mentioned.

I didn't expect that even at this point, Tang Shuo still wanted to expose the video. This is simply an attempt to kill him!

Since you want me to die, then you don’t want to live either!

As they were about to reach the steps in front of the manor, Carl winked at the tall bodyguard following behind.

Suddenly, without any warning, Carl squatted on the ground and rolled backwards, and the tall bodyguard following closely behind immediately pounced on him.
