Randy was slightly startled by the snake Daemon had with him. Subconsciously, he ran over in Zayn's direction.
Zayn was about to bring Randy away with him, but Daemon yelled, "Hold it right there!"
Daemon's men got themselves ready and pulled the trigger, aiming at the defenseless Zayn, who was there without his subordinates since he was in a hurry.
In spite of being defenseless, Zayn wasn't intimidated at all. Instead, he asked in return, "Why don't you go ahead and give it a try?"
"Are you trying to challenge me? Aren't you aware it's merely a piece of cake to take you out? In fact, once you're gone, I won't have others coming after me!"
Carla started perspiring in fear as she knew Daemon might get someone to be his scapegoat after taking Zayn out. That was precisely the reason she had been urging Zayn to leave the place.
Similarly, she was well aware everything would be over for Giblo Group if Zayn passed on. On top of that, no one could stop Lierger Corporation from asserting influences in the corporate world.
"You don't think the Giblo family is an easy target, do you? Aren't you aware Aymo City is my domain? You have less than fifty men with you! If I fail to make it out in ten minutes, my men will rush into the compound and wipe you and your men out of existence! Shall we wait and see who's the one triumphing at the end?"
Daemon asked with a vicious smirk, "Is that any of your business when you're about to die? It's such a shame no one is around to keep your ninety-eight-year-old grandfather company by his death bed!"
Zayn returned the favor and remarked sarcastically, "Who are you to pick on me when your family was almost wiped out over the night?"
Daemon's wrath and intention to take out Zayn was written all over his deadpan face. He seemed to have morphed into a merciless murderer within a few seconds.
Aware of the things awaiting Zayn, Carla pulled the trigger and aimed at the man she once held dear in mind. "Zayn, you need to mind your words!"
"Mommy, no! Don't kill Daddy!" Randy got in front of his father and begged his mother with a pair of teary eyes.
"Randy…" Carla couldn't bear to show her son the inhumane side of hers.
"Uncle Dan, can you stop getting mad at Daddy?"
The little boy was aware Daemon was the one making the calls. He thought there must be some sort of misunderstanding going on.
Therefore, he asserted in a serious tone, "I'm sure Daddy's here merely because he's worried about me! It was never his intention to pick on you!"
Ironically, Daemon found Randy resembling himself in the past. He was also an innocent little boy who had to brace himself through the family feud.
"Daddy, I thought we had a deal! Josh and Venus would return home with you while I stay here with Mommy! Why have you barged in here out of the blue? Has something happened to Josh and Venus?"
"Venus…" When he was about to share the details with the rest, he received a call. Without a second thought, he picked it up when he found out it was a call from Brandy.
Brandy announced, "We can't get our hands on anything from Seacrest Restaurant even after searching high and low. We even tried our luck with the leftovers, but there's nothing. On top of that, I have just gotten words; Venus has been poisoned by a type of venom unique to snakes."
Zayn's eyes narrowed to a slit when he heard Brandy. He turned around and glared at Daemon and the snake in his hand.
"Mr. Giblo, have you reached the Lierger residence? Is everything fine on your end? We're currently on our way there. Mr. Giblo…" Grasping his phone with all his might, Zayn paid no heed to Brandy's questions anymore.
Zayn yelled, "Daemon! I thought you'd never take things out on minors, but I must've gotten my hopes high! I can't believe you have poisoned Venus! She's your niece!"
