The price of betrayal (Jack and Ashley) novel Chapter 533

Was Malcolm still alive? Others might know the answer, but Tyson knew all too well.

He vividly remembered the scene where Malcolm was captured, and he clearly recalled how Owen's enforcer, Hound, had carried out the execution. Although he hadn't seen Malcolm's body with his own eyes, there was no doubt in his mind—Malcolm was dear.

But could he admit that now?

Fang had a murderous expression on his face. If Tyson dared to say Malcolm was dead, he didn't even want to imagine what Fang, in his fury, might do to him.

"N-No, he's not dead. He should still be alive, but I don't know the details. I swear, I really don't know! You've got the wrong guy! I'm just an errand runner, a nobody—I don't have that kind of power."

At this point, Tyson didn't even dare to deny being a traitor. After all, Fang had already come knocking at his door and had accurately captured so many traitors, so it was pointless to deny it.

Hearing that Malcolm was still alive, Fang visibly relaxed. As long as Malcolm was still alive, there was still a chance to salvage everything. But if Malcolm were dead, Fang couldn't even begin to fathom the extent of Nolan's wrath or the consequences it would bring.

"You're sure Lense isn't dead? Mr. Lamb, I strongly suggest you come clean now. This isn't something you can hide for long. If I find out later that you lied… You know what will happen to you, don't you?"

Before Fang could finish, Tyson interrupted in a panic, " I understand! I wouldn't dare, I really wouldn't dare to lie to you! But I honestly don't know if Lense—no, Mr. Gould—is still alive or not. At least, the last time I saw him, he was still alive. I can swear to that."

Tyson took a deep breath and looked at Fang. "Please, sir, I was forced into this. Really! I'm begging you, please let me go. And I'm also begging all of you not to pursue this any further. You won't win. No matter who you are or how powerful you are, you can't go against them.
