Their Mistake, Her Rise - Chapter 141: Chapter 141

Shawn grabbed Kingston by the throat with one hand and yanked him out of his subordinates. Kingston's legs gave out, and he fell in terror. Meanwhile, Chase and his group had their guns pressed to Chuck's head, making sure he didn't try anything funny.
The weapons in this deal were the very batch smuggled out of Clusia. Shawn and his team had come to Yaniston to intercept every last piece of Clusia's stolen arsenal and bring it home.
But after Chase's team checked the shipment, they realized the numbers were way off.
"Boss, we're missing a huge chunk. This batch is way less than what we're supposed to have," Chase said, shooting a deadly glare at Kingston and Chuck. "Spill it. Where's the rest of the shipment?"
"I don't know. I'm just here to make the deal. Ask Kingston!" Chuck blurted, desperate to distance himself.
Kingston didn't reply, but Shawn didn't have the patience. With a cold, disdainful look, he twisted Kingston's arm out of its socket in one brutal move.
Kingston screamed, terrified his head would end up like his arm. He said everything in a panic, "The rest of the weapons you're after are not with me.
"They're all in the hands of Yaniston's arms, Bruno. What I have is just a small batch I got from him."
At that, Shawn's expression darkened. His voice was icy as he ordered, "Go after them. I don't care what it takes; get every single weapon back. Not one piece can be left behind."
"Yes."
The next day, the international racing competition started right on schedule. To enhance the event's spectacle, the Yaniston racing association invited several celebrities and organized a pre-race banquet, hoping all the racers could relax before the competition began in earnest.
Zoe, Henry, and the rest of their team were invited too. But as soon as they showed up at the banquet, they caused quite a stir.
News about Zoe snapping Daniel's finger had already spread since yesterday, shaking up the entire racing world.
It wasn't just the people who saw it happen; even those who weren't there knew all about it. The story of Zoe and the Clusians spread like wildfire and quickly became the butt of jokes.
Anyone who crossed Daniel never made it out alive.
"How is Zoe still alive? Why didn't Daniel kill her yesterday? Maybe he had a crush on her."
"Are you dumb? He can kill her whenever he wants, but his finger can't wait to cure. If he missed the chance, it'd be too late to fix it."
"Just wait. Once they hit the track, we'll see Daniel go nuts and send his opponents straight to hell, one by one."
Everyone was waiting for the show, throwing insults, not even bothering to hide them from Zoe.
Henry's face turned ashen. He even started wondering if, for Zoe's safety, he should try to convince her to drop out of the race.
After all, even though he had once mistaken Zoe for Fox, there was never any solid proof, and Zoe herself never admitted it. If he was wrong and Zoe ended up facing Daniel, it could actually get her killed.
Just then, another group of racers stepped before them, blocking their way.
Zoe didn't recognize them, but a blond guy looked her up and down and said, "So you're the Clusian girl who broke Daniel's finger? You look so young. Are you even legal?"
Zoe didn't reply.
The guy didn't get mad, just grinned and said, "I gotta say, I'm impressed. Not everyone can snap Daniel's finger like that. Aren't you scared Daniel's gonna kill you?"
Zoe stayed silent.
The blond guy continued, "What's the matter, are you just mute? Guess all Clusians are cowards. We've insulted her this much, and she still won't talk back. What if I bully her right here in front of everyone? Would she still act so calmly?"
