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
Could it be... there was something else, something more important that Yosef needed Voodoo Lwa for?!Calculations gleamed in Amparo's small eyes as he spoke sharply."Yosef, you must ensure my safe departure from France. Your men can follow, but they must keep a distance of one hundred meters from me and cease all firepower. Only after I board the helicopter will I release you!"Amparo's voice turned icy. "Even so, are you willing to come over and exchange hostage with me?"Yosef remained composed. "Yes."Excitement flashed in Amparo's eyes. Then, he grinned maliciously. "Seems like the Voodoo Lwa holds great importance to you... Well, to prove your sincerity, Yosef, kneel down! Kneel before me and kowtow three times, then I'll believe you!""Damn, is this fatso asking for death?"Kirin, upon hearing this, was enraged, his trembling body yearning to deliver a fatal blow to Amparo's pig-like head.Godber's expression also turned
John remained silent. Jacob answered quietly, "If her condition worsens, she will die. The Voodoo Lwa is her only chance."Yosef's eyes darkened, a storm brewing within them.John turned away, not sparing him another glance. He and his team got into their cars and drove away, taking the Voodoo Lwa with them.Yosef stood motionless in the desolate night for a long time.Then, he slowly raised his hand and brushed back the stray hair from his forehead.A soft sound escaped his throat.“Heh.”It was him.It was actually him.Diana's illness was caused by him!A look of pain appeared on Yosef’s pale face.He clutched his chest tightly, feeling a strange pain that left him disoriented.He regretted it...In over twenty years, he had never felt such regret.His selfish love had not only troubled her, but had also pushed her life to the brink!No wonder she hated him!He was desp
Jacob took the cotton swab and applied it to her wound.As soon as it touched her skin.Her leg trembled, and she let out a soft cry of pain."Ouch...""It'll be over soon, don't move."Jacob remained calm.He quickened his movements.Ivana trembled, continuously emitting painful moans.But obediently didn't move her leg.After disinfecting, Jacob applied some medicine to her wounds.When he finished, he looked up.He saw Ivana biting her lip, tears streaming down her delicate face.It was heart-wrenching.He frowned slightly.It was just applying some medicine.She cried too easily.Jacob put the medical kit aside and said calmly, "Still hurting?""Yeah.""Endure it."Jacob's expression remained neutral as he spoke in a business-like tone, "You rest here, I'll go first."Upon hearing this, Ivana lifted her head slightly.Her gaze fixed o
Carl's expression darkened. He had expected Amparo might fail, and the Voodoo Lwa would end up with Yosef. That was part of his plan. He had a backup ready for Yosef. But he hadn't anticipated John's interference."Why would Yosef willingly give up the Voodoo Lwa?" Duncan wondered."Impossible," Carl dismissed. "The Voodoo Lwa is essential for saving his life. No deal could make him give it up... unless he willingly chose to.""Why would he do that?" Duncan asked, perplexed."Have you considered why John wants the Voodoo Lwa?" Carl looked at Duncan thoughtfully. "If I'm not mistaken, it might be because Diana has a serious condition that requires it.""So, Yosef gave up the Voodoo Lwa for Diana," Carl concluded slowly.Duncan was stunned. "Boss, that's hard to believe. Yosef would sacrifice his life for a woman?""People change," Carl said with a bemused smile. "I thought it was impossible too, but now..."He let the implicatio
