Chapter 543: Fate Worst Than Death

Kayden coldly said, “Juliana, I didn’t think that you’re alive. If you release her, I’ll ensure that you and
your father’s body will remain intact.” What he said struck fear into all the eighteen men.

Juliana felt secured as she had more men on her side and said arrogantly, “You’ve spoken too early.
You could be the one who would be dismembered.” Immediately all the men drew their weapons and
pointed towards Kayden and his men.

Ellie gasped and thought, ‘Kayden is in danger with so many guns pointed towards him!’

Kayden scoffed and said directly to the eighteen men, “You’d better think of yourselves. I can pardon
you if you surrender now. There are organizations other than the Mafia that you can depend on. The
doors of ZH Clan are open for you to join us if you wish.”

Ah… now… the eighteen strongmen looked at each other. They were undoubted enticed by such an
open offer. After all, the ZH Clan was a prominent organization. Now that the Mafia was on the decline,
they very seldom received any benefits.

The eighteen men started to waver and started to lower the weapons.

Juliana became furious and tighten her grip on Ellie’s throat. Ellie started to turn pale.

“Kayden, you’re something. To think that you are poaching my men at such a time.” Juliana laughed.

Ellie was already struggling to breathe. If this woman tightened her grip any further, she would be
asphyxiated.

Kayden laughed, “Juliana, don’t forget that your father is in my hands.”

Juliana did not care and yelled, “You guys, attack!”



Shots were fired and Ellie yelled, “No…” She trembled and then yelled again, “Run hubby! Leave me,
save yourself! Run! Run!”

“Bitch, how could you still yell?” Juliana slapped Ellie a couple of times.

Kayden killed one man and saw Ellie being slapped. He drew out another gun and with two guns
blazing, he brought down four more men.

He could shoot very well and the eighteen men were steadily reduced in a matter of seconds. The
remaining men exchanged looks and decided to throw down their weapons. They announced that they
were willing to cross over and join the ZH Clan.

“You… traitors!” Juliana was infuriated.

Kayden walked steadily towards Juliana and calmly reloaded his weapon. He totally disregarded the
crippled woman. It was as if all the men he had just killed were insignificant.

Kayden was solemn, grinned, and said, “I give you a final chance. Release her and I will spare you and
your father.”

“Don’t, don’t you come any nearer or I will kill this woman!” The woman in black panicked.

Ellie rolled her eyes as she knew that Kayden had the gun and could kill her at any moment.

Kayden scoffed, “Juliana, do you think that you can be faster than my bullet?”

Ellie’s eyes sparkled and her heart skipped a beat as she thought, ‘Oh my hubby is my hero!’

Kayden saw her expression and thought to himself how can this silly girl be so naive at this moment.
He was panicking and worried sick within him that something bad would happen to her.

As Kayden continued to approach Juliana, her heartbeat started to race and she began to tremble.



“You, don’t you come any closer! Do you hear me? Don’t come any closer!” Juliana yelled frantically.
Her hand which grabbed Ellie’s neck started to shake while Ellie began to sweat from the anxiety.

The two men on either side of Ellie also started to waver as Kayden approached.

“Come any closer and I’ll kill her! Try me!” Juliana grabbed a gun beside her and pointed at Ellie’s
heart.

“Ah…” Ellie screamed frantically.

Kayden narrowed his eyes and was ready to kill Juliana but he composed his words, “I’ll stop, calm
down…”

Ellie’s lips quivered and looked desperately at Kayden, ‘Help me, hubby…’ She did not feel that she
was so close to death a moment ago but now she realized that the end could happen at any moment
with the gun pointed at her heart.

Juliana laughed heartily, “So you have a soft spot after all! I didn’t expect it at all. Kayden, you, and
Emmett are the same. You can forgo dignity and your life for the sake of a woman.”

Kayden fixated on her gun and backed off a couple of steps. He fiddled with his pistol and then said,
“Juliana, are you interested in a secret?”

“Hmph, don’t try to distract me!” Juliana repositioned her gun.

This woman was smart. Kayden narrowed his eyes and grinned, “I have no intentions of distracting
you. I think that I should tell you something. Ms. Juliana, how do you think that you’re inflicted with this
disease? Did you think that you contracted it by sleeping around?”

“What? What do you mean?” Juliana was flustered.



“You did not contract this disease. Emmett got someone to inject you with it…” Kayden slowly crept
closer and emphasized, “We deliberately injected you with it…”

…

“No… that’s impossible… Emmett could not possibly do this to me…” Juliana could not believe what
she heard and started to lose control and released Ellie from her grasp.

Kaden timed his attack just when she lost control of herself. Juliana glared with her eyes wide open
and collapsed to the ground before making a single sound.

Kayden fired two shots to break off Ellie’s chains and held onto her tightly. He gently patted her back
and said, “It’s alright now, you’re safe.”

Ellie sobbed and turned to look at Juliana. Her eyes were still wide open eerily.

“Hubby, she, is she dead?” Ellie asked.

“No, I struck her waist. She would be dead sooner or later. There wasn’t a need to help end her misery.
Her fate should be worse than death!” Kayden said ruthlessly.

Juliana’s days were numbered. Now that she no longer could rely on her father, her days would be
horrible.

Ellie was stunned to see that he could be so ruthless.

Kayden grabbed her waist gently and comforted, “Okay, it’s over. Let’s go back home, honey. I’m
starving. Cook something for me to eat when we get home.”

“You pig…” Ellie rolled her eyes.



Ellie suddenly felt his warm lips kissing her as he mumbled, “Not only do I want to eat…” Kayden
grinned mischievously. Thereafter, Kayden carried her in his arms and boarded the helicopter…

He descended from the sky and then departed into the skies. The remaining men were in awe. The ZH
Clan was amazing.

Afternote: In the next three months, the Mafia could only openly announce that they wanted a hit on
Kayden but nothing happened. Juliana was nothing in the Mafia as no one obeyed her. The Mafia was
splintered and in disarray. The once-powerful Mafia in Europe was crumbling. Emmett could not bear to
see it decay any further and appointed Kayden to reorganize it.

Months later, the once-famous Jordan appeared at the frontlines of Syria. He was covered in dirt and
appeared haggard like a refugee. He had once enjoyed the glamour of the entertainment industry but
was now assigned to the most dangerous and life-threatening zones. His entertainment was once his
job but now he could not enjoy himself anymore.

…

“Wow, Elaine, this kid is so cute! He looks so much like Mr. Smith!” Hazel remarked.

Elaine pouted and replied, “How could it be? He looks more like me.”

“Cute like you?” Hazel chuckled, “But I really did not expect you to have a kid so soon. I thought that
you and Mr. Smith would put parenthood off for a couple more years.”

“I didn’t want as well but I was forced. I didn’t want to have a kid so soon as I’m still young. I got
married when I just entered college and became a mother before I graduated. I feel so old.”

“Oh, you. Don’t you know how many girls would love to be in your shoes?” Hazel gently poked the
baby’s cute cheeks.



“Elaine, you’re really something to give birth to twins.” Hazel looked enviously at the pair of twins, a
baby boy, and a baby girl.

“Mr. Smith’s genes are great. Look at how beautiful the babies are unlike my baby who looked like a
hairless chimp when he was born. I was devastated at that time.”

Elaine laughed, “But now your hairless chimp has turned into a handsome prince. His eyes are so
captivating and now his eyelashes are longer than mine! How can you complain?”

Hazel’s eyes lit up, “That kid is outwardly angelic but is an imp within. You don’t know how he and his
father bully me.”

Lucas was beside and teased, “But last night I did not bully you enough.”

Hazel blushed immediately and elbowed him, “Piss off you horny pig.”

“I heard that Sally is pregnant,” Elaine said.

“Really? Haha, that’s great. Once her child is born, we should make a marriage pact for our babies.”
Hazel eagerly suggested.

Lucas agreed, “I’m being oppressed by Emmett for so many years. Now I can let my kid get back at
him for me. It’ll be great if my boy can marry Emmett’s daughter. I’ll look forward to her serving me tea.”

“Oh? Is someone eyeing on my precious daughter?” Emmett stride over immediately. After becoming a
father, he no longer was that reserved.

“Elaine, you're really something to give birth to twins.” Hazel looked enviously at the pair of twins, a
baby boy, and a baby girl.
