chapter 41 uninvited guest

Before Lily could react, Murray had already jumped into Freya's car. However, a few kilometers down the road, Freya stopped the car and received a call from Lily. After a moment, she looked surprised. She hung up the phone and looked at Murray. "How did you get the bank to fire Lily?" She left early and didn't see the other two checks. Lily was too pleased with herself and didn't notice the signatures on the two checks. Murray casually explained, "Her attitude was unprofessional, and her performance was lacking. It's normal for her to be fired." Freya's face darkened. "Don't try to fool me. Tell me the truth." "I know Joyce from Trove Group." Murray smiled bitterly. "Trove Group is a major client of Wondersea Bank, with annual funds of hundreds of billions flowing back and forth." "I told Jacob Bank that if they didn't fire Lily, I would have Trove Group withdraw its funds and transfer them to their competitor, Wondersea Bank." He honestly explained, "Jacob Bank was afraid and ultimately fired her." "You know Joyce from Trove Group?" Freya sneered, "I even had dinner with Payne." "Even if you knew Joyce, would he go against Wondersea Bank over you?" "Who do you think you are?" Freya saw through Murray's demeanor with a single glance. "Come clean, did you get Danna involved again?" Murray slightly opened his mouth, he was unsure how to answer. After a moment, he raised his thumb. "My wife is truly wise." "Get lost!" Freya scolded and she was not pleased. "You, acting like a child again, causing trouble for Danna just to compete with Lily." "You need to know when to stop." She advised earnestly, "No matter how big the favor, it can't withstand your constant demands." "Alright, I'll change..." Murray patted Freya's thigh. "I'll try not to bother Danna in the future." He took the opportunity to give her thigh a squeeze, feeling the exceptionally good sensation of the stockings. Freya brought up old and new issues together. "Also, you promised me not to cash Elroy's check." "I don't want to cash it either." Murray gave a reason, "But I owe a high-interest loan, and the debt keeps growing. I must repay it quickly, or I'm afraid they'll come after my mother." Freya's voice was cold. "If you need money, you can come to me..." "If I didn't know about your situation, maybe I would ask you for money. But now you're short by fifty million. How could I ask you again?" Murray tried to dispel the worries in her heart. "Besides, I saved Elroy's life, which is worth ten million." "After repaying the high-interest loan, you can use the remaining money for your own needs..." After saying this, Murray quickly repaid all the remaining high-interest loans and online loans. Thinking about the fifty million, TFreya's beautiful face showed a hint of sorrow, and she no longer scolded Murray for cashing the check. "You can keep this money for yourself. I'll take care of my own matters. After paying off the debt, I'll buy a house for your mother and arrange for social security." "Try to keep your distance from Elroy." She wanted Murray to return the money, but she also knew his difficulties and that she couldn't help, so she had to settle for second best. "By the way, I know a friend who has extra money and can lend you fifty million." Murray touched his bank card in his pocket. "And the interest rate is lower than the bank's. Do you want me to introduce you..." "Your friend? Lend me fifty million?" Freya suddenly sneered. "Danna, right?" Murray shook his head frantically. "No, it's not..." Freya snorted. "Don't deny it. Besides her, who else would dare to lend me such a large sum of money at this time?" Murray smiled bitterly. "It really isn't..." "Still lying?" Freya pinched his waist hard, then plucked a strand of hair from his shoulder. "This hair is thirty centimeters long, shoulder-length, wine red." "You also have the scent of Chanel Autumn Serenity on you." "I remember Danna has this kind of hair, and she also uses this perfume." "You met Danna today, didn't you?" She added, "And you say the fifty million isn't from her?" Murray looked at her in disbelief, realizing how sharp her eyes were to notice a single hair and the scent of perfume. To avoid getting into more trouble, he could only nod and admit, "Yes, I did go see Belinda today, and I asked her for a loan." "Freya, whoever can help is fine, right?" He advised Freya, "You can repay this favor after getting through this difficult time." "Let me tell you..." Freya threw the hair away. "Even if I die in poverty, exhaustion, or bankruptcy, I will never accept a penny from Danna." With that, she stepped on the gas and drove forward. Why did she hold such a grudge against Danna? Murray opened his mouth as if to say something but ultimately shook his head. He put the bank card back in his pocket. "Ding." At that moment, Murray's phone vibrated. Glancing at it, he saw that it was Elroy calling. He put on his earphones and answered. Elroy's voice came through quickly, "Murray, things are not looking good." "What's wrong?" Murray asked calmly. Elroy cursed directly at Sean, "That bastard Sean is so careless in his actions." "That night, after leaving the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, he had people control Zoe and Hamiltion. Then he went to the hospital for a test." "After confirming that he was infertile, he planned to kill the two of them. He even chose tomorrow, which is their anniversary, to do it." "But unexpectedly, the place where Zoe and Hamiltion were held has been taken over today." "They are also missing..." Elroy's tone was heavy. "I'm worried she'll come looking for you..." Murray's face changed slightly. "Useless." Freya beside him was surprised. It was unexpected for Murray to call someone else useless, as he was usually the one being called that. "Vroom." Just as the red BMW was about to enter the auxiliary lane, a black business car came roaring in. The black tires rubbed violently against the road surface, emitting a burning smell. The sudden turn of events caught Freya off guard. "Be careful!" Murray threw his phone and shouted, then violently turned the steering wheel to avoid the collision. Almost as soon as he turned the wheel, there was a bang, and the red BMW was hit by the business car. The front right side of the car was crushed in by the impact, and the right rearview mirror flew off and fell more than ten meters away. Freya's body also shook violently, hitting her head on the steering wheel, causing a small bump. Bang! Murray raised his left hand and delivered a chop to the back of Freya's head, causing her to temporarily faint. Then, Murray got out of the car with the keys and immediately locked the BMW. Bang! Almost at the same time, the door of the business car opened, and a man and a woman got out. The man was 1.9 meters tall, muscular like a tower, and he was holding a dagger. The woman was dressed in shorts and a short top, revealing her strong, tanned legs, indicating she was also a practitioner. Both of them had a bear tattooed on their bodies. The tall man looked at Murray and sneered, "Are you Murray?" The woman in shorts looked at Murray with arrogance, showing some disdain. Murray asked calmly, "Who are you?" "Very good." The tall man's eyes flashed with coldness. "Let's verify the name to avoid killing the wrong person." Murray smiled faintly. "Are you here to kill me?" "My name is Barron Shawn, this is my adopted sister Barron Stephanie. Zoe is my wife, and Hamiltion is my son." The tall man spoke with hot breath, "You ruined our plan, so you must die." Shawn? Stephanie? The Four Ferocious from the Barron Family? Murray's nerves tightened instantly. They were wanted criminals with a million-dollar bounty on their heads by the police. They had a long history of committing crimes, both inside and outside the country, claiming dozens of lives. The most heinous act was the massacre of an entire wealthy family in the country, where several female members were tortured for three days and nights. Murray never expected them to be connected to Zoe, let alone encounter them himself. "Killing is illegal. Is there another way to resolve this?" Murray truly wanted to settle things peacefully, to avoid further trouble for himself and his family. "I'm sorry, but Zoe and Hamiltion only want you dead." "As for killing people, we have dozens of lives on our hands and we don't care if we have one more." Shawn showed a cruel smile, "Don't worry, you won't be alone." "After I kill you, I will send your mother-in-law's family and Sean to join you," the man continued." "Of course, your woman will die a little later, because Hamiltion is very interested in her." Murraay's hesitant gaze turned icy in an instant. He harbored murderous intent. Upon hearing this, Shawn gave the order, "Stephanie, kill him, then we hit the road." Stephanie tossed a betel nut into her mouth, her expression was disdainful as she approached Murray. "Don't feel pity. Weakness is the original sin. If you don't submit, then fight back." She reached out to grab Murray, intent on crushing him. "Phew!" Without hesitation, Murray charged towards Stephanie. He charged close towards her. "You're dead..." Stephanie's eyebrows furrowed. How dare Murraymake the first move against her! She struck out with a punch. She aimed to shatter Murray's bones. "Not good..." Just as her fist touched Murray's body, she felt a destructive force. All her defenses crumbled. Her fist was snapped with a crack. "Bang!" The next moment, she crashed straight into the business car. "Boom!" The car's body collapsed instantly. The glass shattered into pieces and falling down like debris. It was a shocking scene. In Shawn's incredulous gaze, Stephanie slipped to the ground. She was bloodstained and covered in injuries. This scene made him gasp in shock, and he was incredibly stunned by Murray. No one had expected that a casual bump from Murray would have such devastating force. "Young man, you've hurt my sister. Have you thought about the consequences..." Shawn lifted his dagger and shouted. But before he could finish his sentence, there was a cracking sound. His neck twisted 180 degrees, his final sight being Murray's indifferent face... "Too much talking." Murray let go of Shawn and he fell to the ground. His face was full of shock, unwillingness, and disbelief. He never expected that he would be taken out before even making a move. Seeing this, Stephanie also spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted. Murray took out his phone, "Sean, time to cleanup..."
