Chapter 45: Smile

"Calm down boys," Simon said, walking out of their protection. The men were dumbfounded by his actions but they obliged with his order.

Simon took the gun from Ethan, cocked it, and gave it back. "Now you only have to aim and press the trigger." He said.

"Y-you are telling me to kill him?" Ethan asked.

Simon shrugged, "If you aim at his head or heart, then of course, you will kill him. In the end, it's your choice."

Simon glanced at frozen Henry, and then back at the pale Ethan. "Let me help you," he said, his voice clear. "This man is a criminal."

"B-but I …." Ethan was already regretting coming here. More importantly, Henry also got involved in this mess.

"Ethan, I know you were in prison for some time, so you already saw what these damned criminals were up close. You wanted to join our group to get rid of them, didn't you?"

Ethan shook his head. He never planned and would never kill again.
