Ian knew who Ramon was referring to by 'she' and he grabbed the hand of the man in front of him suddenly, which made David wary who then quickly grabbed the gun that was tucked into his waistband.
However, it turned out that Ian had no intention of doing anything except handing the phone back to Ramon's hand.
So fast, that people would think that the phone was a pot of hot coals.
Ian's face looked panicked and he grimaced, imagining what Hailee would say to him. He was not prepared to face her anger and disappointment.
"I chose to deal with this later. Meeting her in person would be better," Ian said hastily.
On the other hand, Ramon casually picked up his phone and faced the screen at Ian, indicating that the call between himself and Hailee was still connected. "You can tell her that directly."
Ian immediately took the phone away from him and said quietly. "Later, I'll talk to her later."
Seeing how scared Ian was to talk to Hailee, he smiled triumphantly. This was also one of the reasons why he chose to come to this place, even though he knew this was a trap, and also let Hailee listen to their conversation.
The reason is very simple; Ramon just wanted to spoil Ian's image in Hailee's eyes, because after all, he didn't like the closeness between the two.
It's good that Hailee is mad at him. The angrier Hailee, the better.
Ramon then put the phone to his ear and spoke to Hailee. "I'll be back in a bit." Pausing for a moment, Ramon listened to what Hailee had to say before replying. "Alright, I'll bring him with me." Another pause. "Take it easy. All right, I love you."
Ian frowned at those words. Is this the right time to express feelings to each other? At least Ramon should remember that he was not alone here.
"You promised not to tell Hailee about this," Ian started to complain right after he was sure that Ramon had hung up the phone and put his phone back in his pocket. "At least, you should know better to keep your word as a man."
Ramon and Ian walked toward a black van that stopped a few meters away from them and from inside the van, Ramon's men violently dragged out three men who seemed to be accomplices of the two mysterious instigators who approached Ian and offered a deal to kill Ramon.
"I didn't tell her anything. It was you all along," Ramon evaded and technically, it was true that he didn't say anything regarding whatever Ian talked to him about, because Hailee heard it herself.
"You should be ashamed for saying such a thing," Ian grumbled.
"I will be ashamed if I don't keep my promise and use cheap means to tackle my enemy," said Ramon in a cold, even tone.
This was also a satire for Ian who had tricked him to come to this place, so indirectly, Ramon said that Ian was the one who didn't keep his promise.
Realizing what the true meaning behind Ramon's words was, Ian was at a loss for words as he didn't know how to reply.
Therefore, he turned this conversation to something else. "Then why are you turning off your cell phone now?" Ian stopped walking and stood beside Ramon as Ramon's men forced the three people they had dragged from the van to kneel before their boss.
"Because she's pregnant," Ramon replied curtly.
However, that short sentence explained a lot of things, such as; Ramon didn't want Hailee to hear what he was going to say nor imagine what would happen after this, because it would be a sight that not everyone could see.
"What if she's pregnant?" Ian didn't understand. He let Hailee hear of his betrayal, but didn't let her hear as they interrogated the people who had blackmailed him. Isn't that unfair to him?
"I don't want my baby to hear bad things," Ramon replied back and this answer left Ian thinking, how can Hailee live with a man like this?
"You're weird…" Ian said in a defeated tone.
"You have to remember this Ian," Ramon said again, this time his tone sounded more serious than before and this forced Ian to look at the man beside him, who was now looking at the three men who had knelt before him. "I don't trap my enemies, I get rid of them."
Ian was flabbergasted when he heard the words that were so full of authority, immediately his heart started beating faster and he had to admit that Ramon's back alone looked very scary.
Even for him who was a fighter and often faced situations where he had to be cruel and prove that life was a harsh world.
Yes, Ian couldn't shake the fear when he heard Ramon say that short sentence.
Ian was standing one step behind Ramon, so all he saw was the man's back, but even from this point of view, Ian knew he couldn't mess with someone like Ramon.
It wasn't long before David came to Ramon's side and handed him a gun.
At this moment, Ian knew that things wouldn't be the same and would get even more dire. It was smart on Ramon's part to turn off his cell phone so Hailee wouldn't hear what was about to happen.
"Who ordered you?" Ramon asked. His tone was calm, but full of threat. He didn't want to waste his time interrogating these three people if they didn't know any information. They are worthless in his eyes.
The three of them fell silent. They lowered their heads, but not out of obedience or fear, but because they didn't want to see Ramon.
And suddenly a soft popping sound was heard from the gun in Ramon's hand which was equipped with a silencer.
And in the next second, a scream full of pain rang out in the silence of the night. However, it didn't last long, as one of Ramon's men immediately came forward and covered his mouth with a rag that was dirty and full of dust, which they found around the area.
Ramon fired a bullet from the gun right in the first man's thigh. "Who ordered you?" The same question was repeated for a second time.
And when no one answered, another bullet lodged in the shoulder of the second man.
Meanwhile, Ian could only be flabbergasted. Ramon didn't kill them, but tortured them slowly.
