Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom
Chapter 467

467 Rescue mission- dying Damien

"What other way do you think is best to get rid of disloyal subjects? They had the effrontery to give my enemies information about the party!"

Randy didn't speak further. He thought Damien had become less evil after not seeing daylight for two months plus.

"And this one?" Randy glanced at the last guard while taking off his blue shirt to tie Damien's wound. The guard who was looking frightened, stared dumbly at his master with his heart in his throat. He hoped that Damien wouldn't find out he was one of those who betrayed him.

"He has two options. Either he chooses to protect me with his life, or return to the forest and get devoured. The choice is his."

"Master, please, forgive me, I'm sorry! I didn't know what came over me!" The guard knelt down and started begging fervently for his life.

The five of them were paid by Davis to make things easy for them to enter the party. They thought that Damien wouldn't find out, but unfortunately, he did. He brought the five of them to the forest and let them be devoured by beasts, except him that thought he was lucky enough to survive with one eye. If he had known that this would happen, he would have allowed himself to be killed by those animals! "Randy, get the phone and call Maverick." Damien ignored the guard.

Seeing this, the guard stood up and attempted to run. Damien can't chase him, neither can Randy because both of them are severely injured.

Randy glanced and clicked his tongue "Where do you think you'll find shelter?" he snorted and dug his hand into his pocket to fetch the phone but touched an empty pocket.

The guard thought back to the experience at the forest and shook his head, then he made up his mind and started running towards Reuben's villa.

Randy was about to stop him but Damien waved his hand.

"Let him go."

"But he'd tell your brother we are here!"

"Reuben is paranoid right now. He won't allow him near... Argh!" He covered his bleeding wound.

"Boss, you are losing a lot of blood. I think we should go to your brother, there are doctors-"

"Stop talking... call Maverick," Damien gritted his teeth to suppress the pain.

Randy was worried for him and at the same time, was at a loss for what to do.

"The phone is missing" he said softly.

"You piece of shit!" Damien hissed. It was already dark, how are they supposed to get Maverick here without a phone? Secondly, without Maverick coming here today, they'd be dead for sure. Glancing back at the forest surrounding then, Randy couldn't stop wondering how Reuben was living

well without any of the animals attacking him.

"Find a way to get Maverick here. I'm not ready to die," Damien gripped Randy's hand tightly as he dressed his wound.

"Bang, bang!!"

Two gunshots were heard from Reuben's home.

"That bastard has a gun," Damien frowned deeply from the agonizing pain.

No matter what Randy did to stop the bleeding, nothing worked. Anxiety was killing him, but there

his mind. was nothing he could do. The guy refused to watch Damien die, so he made up

"Master, I'm sorry, I have to take you to him. I'm sure he won't kill you because you're very weak." Without waiting for Damien to object, he carried him on his back and started hurrying towards the

villa.

"Didn't you hear gun shots? He has a freaking gun!"

"Thanks to you, we wasted all our bullets killing animals. Why didn't you just shoot the betrayers? Now see, you've tasted your own medicine."

"Are you mocking me? Randy, if I die because of you... my ghost won't let you live in peace." He said weakly while his eyes were losing focus. (2)

"Your ghost doesn't have to torment me. If you die here today, I'll come with you. In our next life, if there is one, I'll be your Master and will take revenge for all you've done to me." 1 "Haha, cough, cough!"

"Master, please hold on tightly, we are almost there, don't die on me, I won't forgive you!" Randy hastened his steps as worry and fear laced his face.

After about twenty minutes of hasting down the road, Randy finally saw the dead body of the guard

that was killed.

Just after he hurried past the dead body, he hit a transparent barrier.

"Shit!" He cried out.

"Wh-what?"

"I think there's a barrier."

"No wonder-"

No wonder the beast hasn't torn him apart yet.

"Bang! Bang!!"

Gunshots came from nowhere. The first one hit Randy on the shoulder but he managed to dodge the other by coincidence.

Inside the Villa, Reuben was watching what was going on outside on his laptop.

"Well, well, well, look who we have here." He chuckled before pressing a button, then started

speaking into a small speaker he attached to the laptop.

"What brings you to seek death?!"

His voice came out as loudly as it could be.

"Greetings, My master's chopper malfunctioned and we had no choice but to land but had no idea we would come in contact with beasts. My master was wounded and we coincidentally found this place. Please, render us help and my master won't forget the favor

"Hm, you learned well!!"

*Please, benefactor save my master!"

Randy wanted to pretend as if they were just strangers who needed help. At least it would be better if Reuben didn't think that they tracked his chopper here.

"Alright. On one condition. Only one person gets to enter and the other person's life will be the payment. Who would that be?"

Randy frowned. He looked at the building and then looked at his dying master, then gritted his teeth while his knuckles turned white from his clenched fist.

*Fine, my master will enter." He slowly shut his eyes and spread his arms to welcome all the bullets. "Randy, I don't- permit you to die!" Damien said through haggard breathing. He couldn't open his eyes clearly but he heard everything.

"Master, you must be well. Madam is awaiting your return." Randy said without opening his eyes.

That, that bastard is only, is only playing, playing- argh!"

He hurried back to Damien and made him lean on him. "Please, stop talking!"

"Aw, what a loving relationship. It's been ages since I last saw this play. You know what, continue. I want to watch."

*Reuben!!!!!" Randy roared. "You bastard! If Damien dies, I will make sure you-"

"Hm, this is very entertaining. Go ahead and scream your lungs out. Hahaha!"

At that moment, the sound of a chopper was heard. Uncertain who was inside the chopper, Randy looked up, while Reuben was observing it from his laptop.

The chopper lowered itself above house level. The people in it threw down ropes to climb down with. Seeing they were Maverick's people, Reuben's lips stretched into a villainous smile.

"You found me," he said and started typing away on the laptop. In less than two minutes, he launched

a small missile. The dome parted for the missile to fly past before closing back.

It took less than a minute before the chopper was blown into smithereens.
