Chapter 349 It’s bad enough to double–cross others, but to do it to your own father!
The boss stared at Hugo, his gaze full of resilience.
“This shot is payback for the one you gave me last time,” Hugo said, looking at him.
“Hugo, if you’ve got the guts, just kill me!” the boss challenged.
“No, no, no!” Hugo shook his head. “Let’s not make it so bloody. Why would I kill anyone?”
Seeing the anger in the boss’s eyes, Hugo continued, “Isn’t it more fun to slowly torture someone than to kill them?”
He leisurely looked him over. “One shot to the leg, and then I’ll have someone send you back to Red Mark Base. You’ll be
the first of your kind there. I just wonder if they’ll still want someone who’s crippled.”
“J!!!”
“Or, you can choose. Tell me where you want the shot, and I’ll oblige,” Hugo said slowly.
The boss let out a cold laugh. “J, your reputation for torture is well–deserved.”
“Thank you for the compliment,” Hugo smiled.
Seeing the boss wasn’t ready to speak, Hugo asked, “So, have you decided? Will you answer my question, or choose a
spot for the bullet?”
The boss stared at him for a long time before slowly speaking, “That woman, she must be Terry Adler’s daughter, right?”
Mentioning this, Hugo Hodges gradually let the smile fade from his face, “Terry Adler?”
“What, don’t tell me you don’t know who Terry Adler is?” the boss asked, looking at him.
“Terry Adler is your woman’s father!” the boss revealed.
Hugo wasn’t entirely sure, but he had some suspicions.
“Seems like you know quite a bit,” Hugo replied, his gaze steady.

The boss smirked, looking at Hugo with a mix of mockery and challenge, “But it seems you’re not very clear on the
details!”

“This has nothing to do with you!” Hugo shot back.
The boss raised an eyebrow, feigning nonchalance, “Looks like your relationship isn’t that deep. J, is it worth it for a
woman?” he asked.
“What, are you trying to turn me against her?!”
“If we work together, we could achieve much greater things. Imagine having control over the Middle East and Asia.
Wouldn’t that be something?” the boss proposed.
Hugo narrowed his eyes, his gaze filled with amusement, “Is that so?”
“As long as we join forces, we’ll soon rule both the underworld and the legitimate world!”
“Seems like your ambitions aren’t small!”
“A man should aim high. Why lose a partner over a woman, right, J?” the boss asked, trying to persuade him.
However, Hugo wasn’t buying it.
He smiled at him, “I’m not one for big ambitions. I’m the kind of guy who’d go crazy for a woman.”
As he spoke, his expression shifted, and he pointed his gun at him again, “So, are you going to talk?”
Seeing his plan fail, the boss smirked before continuing, “Terry Adler was one of the first hackers to join Red Mark Base.”
Hugo’s eyebrows furrowed upon hearing this. He hadn’t expected Scarlett Adler’s father to be a hacker too.
It made sense now why Scarlett was the way she was.
Like father, like daughter.
Sometimes, when you dig deeper, things can be quite surprising.
Thinking about this, Hugo looked at him, “Did you know Terry Adler is dead?”

The boss paused, “Yes.”

“You know?” Hugo raised an eyebrow, “Do you know how he died?”
“So, Terry Adler’s daughter stopped my people at the hotel that day because she was looking for the truth about Terry
Adler’s death?” The boss asked, looking at him.
Hugo Hodges’s expression darkened. “You should know that you don’t have the right to question anything right now.”
The boss paused, a hint of a smile playing at his lips, as if he had realized something.
“Keep talking!” Hugo warned, staring at him.
The boss thought for a moment before speaking, “Terry Adler’s death… I’m not very clear on it.”
Hugo’s probing gaze fixed on him, not missing a single detail. After a while, he murmured, “Not clear?”
Despite his efforts to hide something, his subtle expressions revealed that he definitely knew more.
“Terry Adler was quite a formidable presence in your circle, wasn’t he?”
“Yes, very formidable.”
“So when someone that powerful has an incident, you all don’t know? You don’t even look into it?” Hugo asked.
The boss lowered his gaze, then looked up at him. “He had left the Red Mark Base, which means he had no connection
with them anymore. So why would anyone bother with his fate?” The boss countered.
“Quit?”
“Yes!”
Looking at the boss, Hugo Hodges felt that, for once, he wasn’t lying.
Still, Hugo sensed something was off about his earlier reaction.
“Do you really not know about Terry Adler’s death?” Hugo asked, scrutinizing him.

The boss looked up at him, “What do you think?”
The two locked eyes, as if their gazes were engaged in a silent battle.
Just then, two shots rang out, and someone fired in their direction. Hugo instinctively rolled to dodge.
At that moment, the boss also rolled away to another direction.
“Boss, retreat!” someone shouted.
The boss glanced back at Hugo, a flicker of hostility in his eyes.

“Boss!!!” the person shouted again.
The boss looked at Hugo, a cold smile playing on his lips, “J, we’ll meet again!” With that, he retreated under the cover of
his men.
Henry Fallon arrived with reinforcements, “Boss, are you okay?”
Hugo shook his head.
“Chase them!” Henry urged.
“Don’t bother!” Hugo replied, staring in the direction the boss had gone, his expression unreadable.
“But…”
“Don’t chase a desperate enemy; they’re not just ordinary people!” Hugo said.
Henry nodded in agreement after hearing this.
Then, Hugo glanced toward the dock. “How’s it going?”
“It’s all loaded up, boss. We’ve got plenty of goods!” Henry replied.
Hugo narrowed his eyes, “Let’s go check it out.”

Meanwhile, in the car, Tara was anxious.

“The goods are about to leave. Once they’re gone, there won’t be another chance!” Tara said.
First frowned, still hesitating.
“Are we going to do this or not?” Tara urged.
First steeled himself, “Let’s go!”
At that moment, Tara and Second got out of the car.
As they stepped out and headed toward the dock, Tara suddenly paused, staring into the distance, “Wait a minute, am I
seeing things?”
She looked again, “Hugo Hodges???”
Turning back, she looked at First and Second, “Am I imagining this???”
Second’s expression turned serious, now understanding why First hadn’t mentioned who it was. So that’s why.
It’s one thing to double–cross, but to do it to your own dad? That’s a whole new level!
