Li Xiaobao put the documents back into the bag and slung it over his shoulder.
Standing up, holding the short knife, he said calmly, "Just killing you like this is too cheap for you!"
At this moment, Grindon's tense nerves instantly relaxed, letting out a long breath. He felt that Li Xiaobao's words meant he wouldn't kill him for now!
As for any other punishments, compared to life, it is naturally better to be alive. No one in the face of life and death would choose otherwise.
But in the next moment, Li Xiaobao's short knife flashed with a cold light, swiftly slicing across Grindon's neck!
With a slight puffing sound, Grindon covered his neck, showing a complex expression of terror, despair, and bewilderment, as if trying to perform all the emotions he'd ever experienced to punctuate the end of his life.
Li Xiaobao remained calm, his eyes cold, lacking any intent to kill, yet chilling to the bone for the dying Grindon.
