Chapter 230: Clean Up
"Alexander!"
"Do you know what you're doing? I'm your uncle! Even your father wouldn't dare point a gun at me like this!"
Sweat covered Santino's forehead, the fat on his face trembling with fear, and blood kept seeping from the wound on his leg!
Alexander sneered, "Uncle? You really think you're someone important. The fact that I've let you live this long is definitely my mistake!"
Now it seemed he had other ways to investigate those matters!
Keeping these people alive wasn't so they could make a move on Catherine.
Santino scrambled backward awkwardly, his muscles spasming irregularly.
"How dare you touch me? I want to see Felix! Felix definitely won't let you get away with this!"
Alexander smiled.
"I originally planned to send you all off together, but since I'm not the only one who wants to kill you, someone else can take the blame for this."
Santino trembled slightly.
What exactly did Alexander mean by that?
What did he mean there were others who wanted to hurt him?
"You're getting old, your ears don't work so well. Didn't you hear the gunshots earlier?"
Thinking back to the commotion outside the hospital room, Santino suddenly understood - someone else was trying to take his life at this moment!
"Who? Who wants me dead!"
Alexander pulled the trigger on his revolver, and a bullet whizzed into Santino's other leg, blood spraying!
"You should know in your heart."
Alexander's tone was casual, as if discussing everyday matters with Santino, talking about the most normal things, while his gun fired several more bullets in succession!
Santino immediately let out an earth-shattering roar!
"Alexander! I won't let you go even in death!"
He said this, but Santino's heart was overflowing with terror and fear!
With such a huge commotion in the hospital room and not a single bodyguard rushing in, Santino knew all his people must have been cleared out by Alexander.
His men were all killers hired internationally - where did Alexander get the nerve and connections to be so brazen!
Plus, all the people he'd sent to kill Catherine had been wiped out. In this instant, Santino belatedly realized.
Alexander was a ruthless character!
Back then, they shouldn't have let him grow up safe and sound!
"No, you can't kill me. You still need to investigate your mother's case. You can't kill me!"
Alexander aimed his gun at Santino's arm and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"I won't kill you. And the person making a move on you isn't me, is it?"
Santino's body was riddled with bleeding holes, blood everywhere on the floor, looking like a scene from hell.
Alexander, in his patent leather shoes, walked toward the desperate Santino step by step like a king of the night, stepping through the blood as if he didn't see it.
Alexander watched the fear on Santino's face and his terror of death, savoring his death throes!
"Back then, you watched my mother die the same way. Being able to feel all the blood draining from your body is also a perfect way to die."
"I won't let you die that easily. Enjoy your final moments, Santino!"
Alexander's face showed bloodthirsty killing intent, like a demon's whisper from hell, echoing in Santino's ears over and over.
He came for revenge! He came for revenge for what happened back then!
"You can't do this to me. Ezekiel isn't innocent! There are several others!"
Alexander nodded and stood up, wiping the blood from his hands.
"I know. But Ezekiel still needs to be the scapegoat for your death, so I have to keep him for now."
When Alexander wanted to keep someone alive, he would make them live in the most miserable way possible!
Ezekiel wanted to pin Santino's death on the Windsor family and Alexander, and Alexander didn't mind returning the favor - he'd give him an even bigger crime!
"As for the others, you've reminded me. It's time I went to meet that boss of yours."
Santino's eyes instantly became unfocused!
How did Alexander know he had a boss? When did he find out, and how did he get the information?
Countless chaotic guesses instantly flooded Santino's brain, leaving his mind blank!
Alexander didn't look at him again. In his eyes, Santino was already on his last legs.
"If you just let me go, I'll tell you who wanted to kill your mother back then!"
"No need. I don't need you useless people telling me what to do about what I want to investigate."
Alexander threw the gun into the pool of blood and left the hospital room without looking back.
"Before he dies, I don't want a second person appearing here."
"Yes, Mr. Howard!"
The bodyguards outside the hospital room didn't even dare to look up at Alexander, Santino's shrill and desperate screams constantly echoing in their ears!
Santino looked at the gun before him, recognizing it all too well as Ezekiel's!
Ezekiel actually dared to make a move on him at this moment!
Santino summoned his last bit of strength and dialed the emergency contact on his phone.
"Boss, please save me! Alexander wants to kill me!"
From the other end came the sound of pages turning, and a man's refined, indifferent tone full of callousness and mockery.
"If he wants to kill you, then just go die. What are you calling me for?"
"If I die, he'll definitely investigate and find you!"
The person on the other end hung up directly and didn't answer any more of Santino's calls from the edge of death!
At the hospital entrance, Alexander sat in the car with his eyes closed, resting.
Annie leaned slightly toward him.
"Mr. Howard, the person has been sent away, and the news has spread. Everyone in the circle knows Santino died at Ezekiel's hands. We've concealed the part about Santino targeting Catherine, but should we tell the Windsor family?"
Alexander opened his eyes and picked up his phone.
He considered briefly, "Charles isn't stupid. When something happens to the Howard family, he'll investigate. Rather than him finding out later that Catherine was targeted by the Howard family, better to tell him in advance."
They were Catherine's family and had the right to know everything that happened to Catherine.
More importantly, once Charles knew, he would arrange people to protect Catherine, and the scenario he worried about would have more safeguards and wouldn't happen!
On the other end of the phone, Charles stood up from his office chair when Alexander explained what happened in the simplest terms!
"What did you say? Those trash actually dared to make a move on Catherine? Good, good, really good!"
Alexander's tone was cold, "I've dealt with one, but I need to keep the other one for now. I'll take his life personally."
Charles was somewhat displeased!
Those people had bullied Catherine, so why keep one alive!
"Mr. Howard, are you feeling sorry for your family? If you can't bring yourself to deal with the Howard family, I can do it for you!"
