This made Angus sweat all over! Idiot! As for the owner who was watching TV, he turned his head and looked at Angus and the others who were wearing masks. He compared them to the faces on TV. Holy sh*t! It was really them! Instantly, Angus and the others grabbed the things and ran away! The shop owner yelled at them to stop and quickly dialed the contact number. That five million dollars would be his. After Angus and his men ran out of the convenience store, they continued running for seven or eight minutes before stopping at a dim alley. As soon as they stopped, Angus turned around and slapped the underling who had yelled earlier. He gave him several kicks as well while cursing, “Pig! You’re a f*cking idiot! That was a wanted notice!” The guy got kicked to the ground by Angus and clutched his face while saying aggrievedly, “A-Angus, I never went to school. Besides, that’s five million dollars!” Angus almost fainted with anger upon hearing this. He pointed at the guy and yelled, “Are you saying you want to report me? Or do you want to report yourself? Are you going to say, ‘Hey, I’m a suspect, come and arrest me. Give me that five million…’ Is that it?” That underling grunted before saying, “T-That’s not impossible. We didn’t do it anyway. At most, we spend a few years in jail. After we come out, we’ll have five million dollars!” “You… Are you talking out of your *ss now?” Angus was furious as he went up and kicked him again. Then, he said to his remaining underlings, “This doesn’t seem right. Too many patrol officers have been dispatched. Now, we’re even on TV and the reward is so high. I suspect that this incident is being manipulated by someone. They’re likely trying to accuse us with other charges and make us the scapegoats.”
“Angus, you mean…” his underlings looked bewildered and could not figure out what Angus meant. “Damn it, are you really that brainless? We’re on the wanted list and the reward for catching us is so high! We were just accomplices, so why is the reward so high? Something else must have happened and they’re trying to find people to take the blame. We’re taking the blame for others!” Angus was exasperated. Why were his minions more brainless than the other? How did he survive all these years? “But Angus, only the assault in that hotel was mentioned on the TV just now. Nothing else was mentioned,” one underling said dubiously. Smack! Angus smacked the kid on the head and cursed, “Don’t refute my words! I’m saying that’s how it is! Use your brains and think about it. Could Heath kick up such a big fuss? Or Master Bell? Do they have this ability? Someone higher up must be manipulating all this. The aim is to capture us to take the fall. So, we must hide, wait for things to die down a little, and leave Uppercreek quickly.” “Yes, Angus is right!” His underlings realized the situation and nodded, thinking that Angus’ explanation made sense. “In that case, what should we do now? Turn ourselves in? At the most, we’ll be charged with being accomplices. After all, Hector was the one who did it. We have nothing to do with it,” an underling suddenly said.
