Suddenly, Jacob felt he was overthinking.
Yosef needed Voodoo Lwa to save himself.
He couldn't imagine Yosef sacrificing himself for a so-called love.
...
Godber returned promptly.
In the lounge, Yosef sat on a plush sofa, holding a few pills in his hand, while Patrick handed him a glass of water.
Godber hesitated slightly.
"Sir, is the pain starting again?"
"No worries," Yosef replied softly.
But the faintly furrowed brows and the increasingly pallid complexion indicated that he was enduring great pain.
Over the past two weeks, his physical condition had worsened, and the frequency of his pain had increased.
At this rate, ordinary painkillers might not be enough.
Yosef swallowed the pills and took a sip of water.
Then, his deep eyes lifted to Godber as he entered.
"Did you find out?"
Godber stood by the door, shrugging slightly.
Then he gave a helpless smile.
"Sorr
In the center of the cage, the delicate and slender figure slowly raised her head and took a step towards the edge of the cage.Her locked hands grasped the iron bars of the cage as she tilted her head back, looking in their direction.Even from a distance, the sorrow in her eyes was palpable.Then, amidst the various gazes of the onlookers, the platform slowly descended.Diana stared intently at Voodoo Lwa, somewhat entranced.Then she felt a warmth around her waist, bringing her back to reality.John reached out, pulling her into his embrace."What are you thinking about?""Nothing..." Diana murmured, "This Voodoo Lwa seems rather pitiful, being auctioned off like an animal.""Pitiful, huh..." John's magnetic voice echoed slowly, "Things aren't always as they seem. The more seemingly vulnerable, the more dangerous they can be."Diana chuckled."So you mean, the more beautiful a woman, the more dangerous?"
John flicked her nose with his finger, then turned and got into another car with Jacob and Xavier.They soon disappeared into the night.Misoup looked puzzled."Madam, where is the boss going?""Looking for a man."Misoup: ???...Jackson drove for two hours before finally arriving at the villa.Diana had fallen asleep in the car.When she woke up, dawn was breaking, and the sky was turning pale.She stretched lazily, opened the car door, and got out.Her bodyguards behind her were bringing Voodoo Lwa out of the car.The woman wore the shackles, and her feather mask had been removed, but she covered most of her face with a headscarf, revealing only a pair of light-colored irises, making her face unreadable.Seeming very timid, the woman cautiously looked around, then lifted her head to gaze at the villa.She looked at it for a long time."Isn't it beautiful?" Diana spoke, interru
Tick.Tock.Tick-tock.Each tick seemed to nail itself into the depths of the mind, causing thoughts to float.Mandala stood in the dim room, her gaze fixed on Diana, who leaned back in the chair, her eyes closed, completely defenseless.Mandala lowered her head, a cold gleam passing through her eyes as she suppressed the urge to strangle her. Then, approaching her, she whispered, "Now, tell me, do you have an important lover in your life?""...Yes.""Describe him. What does he look like?""He... is handsome, with dark brows and deep eyes. Although he seems a bit aloof, he's actually very gentle.""Have you had happy times together?""Yes, many... He gave me blue roses, helped me choose dresses, built me a castle, and affectionately called me 'little girl'. He's cute when he's jealous..."As she listened to Diana's murmurs, a shadow passed through the eyes of the woman in the room.Mandala stared at
The gun fell from her hand to the floor.Wide-eyed, she looked at the gun on the ground.Inside the barrel, there was a thin blade inserted.It had split the barrel open!In panic, she looked at Diana by the window.A figure appeared beside her window.Then quickly jumped in.Wearing a black trench coat, hair flowing.It was Mitbahl.Mitbahl glared at her with disgust, then turned, nervously looking at Diana beside him."Madam, are you alright?"He had disagreed with madam bringing this damned woman in.If madam was even slightly harmed, the boss would definitely skin him alive when he returned!"I'm fine."Diana stood by the window and gestured towards Mitbahl. "Hold her down. I need to ask her something.""Sure thing," Mitbahl briskly approached Charlotte.Charlotte instinctively stepped back, but the shackles on her feet were heavy, causing her to stumble a few steps an
Charlotte paused.She stammered, "What do you mean?"The oppressive tone and the deathly gaze made her shiver..."John, you wouldn't really lay a hand on me because of this woman, would you?"Charlotte's face twitched, then twisted into a somewhat distorted smile."John... you can't do this to me...""We've known each other since we were kids. I should have been the one marrying you. I should have been the mistress of the Matthews family!"Tears streamed down Charlotte's face as she sobbed, filled with extreme bitterness and resentment."All these years, can't you see my feelings for you?""Don't you have even a tiny bit of care for me?!""I refuse to believe, John... that there's no affection between us, after all these years, there must be something different about your feelings for me, isn't there?"In the end, Charlotte's voice sounded almost pleading.Seeing John remain silent, she started yelli
"So fragile! She better not die before we even get on the plane!""Boss, we're just over forty minutes away from our private plane landing spot. Once we're back in Mexico, it won't matter who comes, whether it's the Nelson family or the Matthews family.""Yeah, once we're on the plane, clean this woman up and send her to my bed."Amparo licked his lips, a greedy gleam in his eyes.He had heard the auctioneer mention that the Voodoo Lwa had peculiar attributes in bed.The thought of it made him restless.He wished he could just strip the woman naked right there in the car and have his way with her.As he pondered, suddenly there was a loud "boom".The car at the front, leading the convoy, suddenly burst into flames, crashing into the roadside, rolling several times before tumbling down the hillside.Followed by a deafening explosion!Amparo's eyes widened, "What's going on?!"Before he could finish his sente
The slender man's gaze darkened as he glanced at Godber.Slowly, he replied, "At the moment, it's a bit tricky for me alone, but together... we should manage.""That's good! Mr. Hussein, if you can help me kill Yosef this time, I'll triple the commission!"At these words, the two who had been momentarily stunned by Godber's actions instantly lit up with excitement.The slender man grinned."Leave it to us."Godber tossed the man he had been holding aside as if he were discarding trash.Then, he gestured towards the two opposite him."Let's get on with it together, save me some time."The two were infuriated by his arrogant attitude.They lunged at him.The burly man had considerable strength, throwing punches aimed at Godber's vital points.But Godber dealt with him effortlessly.However, the slender man proved to be more troublesome.His agility was exceptional.He kept attackin
Kirin's expression hardened. "Or perhaps, you can't move anymore?" Morenga's smirk turned ice-cold. "Enough talk. Are you unable to move?"Kirin's patience wore thin. "Enough with the nonsense. If you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!" With that, Morenga lunged forward, his blade flashing menacingly towards Kirin. Each strike was lethal.Despite his numbed body, Kirin swiftly dodged, but his agility was greatly reduced. In the midst of evasion, he was nicked by Morenga's blade several times.Meanwhile, Patrick observed the confrontation with concern. "Mr. Nelson, Kirin seems off. Should we send someone to assist?"Yosef nodded. "Yes." Standing in the wind, a faint glint of coldness flickered in his melancholic eyes. Kirin's condition was indeed worrisome. He signaled his guards hidden along the road, prompting them to open fire on Morenga.Forced to interrupt his attack, Morenga took cover behind a car to evade the gunfire. Patrick inquired
