The Queen Back From Hell - Chapter 26: Chapter 26

Looking at the high-end, luxurious decor, he couldn't help but marvel, "Damn, he's loaded! No wonder he's got so many bodyguards to protect himself."
Inside the villa, a slightly plump guy was leisurely making coffee.
The aroma filled the whole room.
Even when he saw someone coming, he didn't stop his actions.
He was wearing a rosary on his wrist and a crucifix around his neck.
People might think he was a Jesus believer. Nah. He just did too many shady deals and wanted some psychological comfort this way.
Spike burst in, speaking with urgent tones. "How you doing, Axe, we... we got big trouble."
Axe poured half a cup of coffee into the mug, not even glancing sideways. He spoke sparingly, as if every word was precious. "Spit it."
Seeing the guy so calm, Spike felt like kicking the pot out of his hand. He glanced at the bodyguards, saying, "Axe, this is private, can't let anyone know..."
Axe put down the pot, waved his hand, and the outer ring of bodyguards dispersed, leaving only two inside the room.
Spike knew these two were Axe's close bodyguards.
Axe slowly sat up, and a bodyguard lit a cigarette for him.
He took a drag, then finally looked at Spike with some impatience. "Better be something huge, or you're leaving a dead body today."
Axe was the big boss of Spike and Andrew.
After that incident, Samson issued a bounty on them, but everyone who knew the details was dead now, leaving only the four of them.
Besides Andrew, there was also Gaylord Schwartz, who overdosed on drugs last month and kicked the bucket.
Now it was just the three of them.
After years of hiding, the four went their separate ways, and in the past two years, Andrew had been rolling with Axe again.
They agreed to keep that thing buried, never to mention it.
Axe even severed all ties with them, saying not to contact him unless it was a matter of life and death.
So, this was Spike's first time here.
Although he was terrified of Axe, with his life in anger, he mustered up the courage to ask Axe to dismiss his men as he had something of utmost importance to disclose.
Axe frowned but still had the bodyguards leave the room.
Now, it was just the two of them left.
Spike didn't beat around the bush any longer. Just now, with all those people around, he couldn't bring himself to say it out loud, no matter how urgent it was.
"Axe, Andrew might have been exposed."
"Huh? What do you mean? What's he exposed about?"
Axe wasn't thinking about that incident, maybe because it was too long ago. So long ago that everyone had almost forgotten about it.
He couldn't figure out what Spike was talking about and didn't react immediately.
"Someone secretly took a photo of the knife scar on Andrew's thigh and posted it online." Spike was almost frantic.
If that person caught Andrew, they'd definitely be exposed too.
He didn't think Andrew would cover for them.
Originally, he was the most timid in the gang and would never do something like that in public.
That day, both Axe and Andrew went after the woman, urging him to join in and saying that he would be wasting a golden opportunity.
He hesitated for a long time, unable to muster the courage, with the woman's cries echoing in his ears. Then Andrew laughed at him, saying he couldn't get it up.
He got so mad at that.
Trying to prove himself and under the spur of Andrew, he pulled his pants off...
After hearing Spike's words, Axe stood up, took out his phone, and saw that video, along with a bunch of photos.
Every single one showed that clear scar.
"Who took these?" he asked.
Spike was almost in tears. "I don't know, and Andrew's missing too, along with that woman he was with."
