Chapter 423: Triumph Above All Chapter 423

Elijah would admonish the onlookers if he knew what they were thinking. After all, it was easier said than done. Dianne may appear to be a gentle, innocent beauty, yet she was a top-notch fighter whose blows were ten times more lethal than a man’s.He would rather be slapped twice by the stewardess than receive a single punch from Dianne. Based on the woman’s earlier threat, it appeared that she would not let the matter rest until the stewardess did as she was ordered. If the situation continues, Elijah may not be able to survive till Troitz county. His heart hammered in his chest as he considered his options.When Elijah noticed Dianne’s approaching hand, he screamed at the stewardess, “What are you waiting for? Give me two hard slaps! Don’t worry, I made you do it. I promise nothing bad will happen to you! Hurry up! I’ll give you ten thousand dollars. No, wait… twenty thousand. No, two million dollars. If you slap me now, I’ll give you two million dollars!”Despite Elijah’s attractive offer, the stewardess shook her head fervently as she was too afraid to make the move. When he witnessed the woman’s hesitancy, the guy became enraged, driven by his need to survive. He glared at her and yelled, “I demand you to slap me right now. Do it! Stop shaking your head, or else, I swear that I’ll kill your family when we reach Troitz.”The stewardess was appalled by his threats. She clenched her fist and inhaled deep breaths.“Hurry, slap me!” Elijah urged, his eyes turning bloodshot. He never expected that he had to coerce someone to hit him. Finally, the stewardess decided to follow through with his instructions. She approached him trembling, lifted her hand, and took a deep breath before slapping Elijah twice with force.“All right,” Dianne, who had been silent the entire time, finally spoke out. Elijah heaved a sigh of relief when she let go of his collar. However, just as he thought the ordeal was over, Dianne turned around and said coldly, “You promised to give her two million dollars if she slapped you.

Are you going to honor your words?”Elijah was once again frightened down to his shoes when he met Dianne’s menacing gaze. “Yes… yes. Definitely,” he stuttered. Despite his feelings of injustice, he feared expressing them to the woman.When Dianne stood still and gazed at him, the man felt bewildered. He realized after a while that she was waiting for him to transfer the money to the stewardess. He did so obediently, fearful of facing Dianne’s wrath.After returning to his seat, Elijah started texting his men. He thought in frustration, I swear I’ll make Skylar and Dianne pay for their actions once we reach Troitz.Skylar dismissed Elijah’s insignificant attempts to harm them; Dianne could tell what the man was up to with just a single glance. She also took out her phone and texted someone.The train finally arrived at Troitz county forty minutes later. Skylar observed a group of men glaring at them viciously as they approached the exit. They seemed to have been waiting for the duo’s arrival for a long time. However, Skylar and Dianne did not slow down and walked confidently toward the exit.The men cornered them as soon as they exited the exit, as was to be expected. Their leader was a tall, muscular bald man with a prominent jade ring.
