Chapter 1779: Three-Way Confrontation

Luther handed Alisha, whom he had been holding in his arms, over to

Reuben and whispered, "I'll stand in front later. Once I find a

breakthrough, you take the opportunity to leave and hand Alisha over to

Joyce. I'll stay here, so you don't have to worry."

Reuben hesitated for a moment before reluctantly taking Alisha into his

arms. They were surrounded by the enemy, armed with heavy

weapons. How could he find an opportunity to escape? Unless he could

disappear into thin air. And Luther said he didn't have to worry? What

could Luther do by himself?

Finally, Reuben said, "You be careful.”

Luther didn't respond directly. He stood in front of Alisha and raised his

voice, "Athena, let's not involve the child in our affairs anymore. If you

have any issues, come at me."

Athena laughed loudly, her beautiful and enchanting face looking

particularly sinister in the dim night. "What's the use of coming at you?

Will you obediently come with me? Will you divorce and marry me?

Luther, I've loved you since we were young, and you know it. I've loved

you for so many years, what can you offer me in return for my love? I

just wanted the three of us to be together, even this simple wish you

can't fulfill. What more can I expect from you?"

She pointed at Alisha. "Even if you retrieve the detonator, so what? It's

nothing special. Everyone around me belongs to me. After I capture

Alisha again, I can implant it in her once more. No one can leave

today!"

Upon hearing this, Luther clenched his fists, his veins bulging. This

crazy woman actually wanted to harm Alisha.

He carried weapons on him, and naturally, he had made preparations.

A large number of special police and mercenaries had long been

ambushed in the surrounding area. He couldn't afford to be

unprepared.

However, in the current situation, it was difficult not to harm Alisha if

they started firing at each other recklessly.

After hearing Athena's words, Reuben couldn't help rolling his eyes.

This woman was indeed mentally unstable.

"Hey, do you understand love? Love is about selflessness, about

acceptance. Love is loving everything about the other person and

giving selflessly. If you expect something in return, that's not love, that's

selfish desire. Do you understand?" Reuben shouted loudly.

This sentence completely enraged Athena.

Athena immediately pointed her gun at Reuben, her eyes burning with

anger.

Luther instinctively stood in front of Reuben, protecting Alisha while

also trying not to harm the innocent.

At the same time, he drew his pistol and aimed it at Athena's heart,

sternly saying, "Athena, drop the gun! I advise you to retreat while you

still can. Khebury is my territory, not a place where you can call the

shots!"

After speaking, he suddenly fired a signal flare into the sky,

accompanied by a sharp sound that pierced the air.

A dazzling arc of light cut through the sky, illuminating the surroundings.

"My people will arrive immediately. If you don't want to trigger an

international conflict, let go now," Luther issued his final warning.

Athena glared at Luther with hatred. "You still have a signal flare?

Dream on if you think I'll let go!"

At this moment, Reuben patted Luther and said, "Hey, not bad, you

have a backup plan.”

Athena stared at Reuben intently, squinting her eyes. She suddenly

picked up the flashlight from another person in black beside her and

shone the blinding light directly at Reuben.

Reuben didn't dodge, allowing Athena to scrutinize him.

Athena's expression turned serious. "It's you! You're Prince Rohomes, I

know you!"

She thought for a moment, then finally remembered, “You're Reuben?!"

Reuben didn't confirm or deny it. It was only a matter of time before

Athena discovered his identity; it was not surprising.

"Well, what a coincidence. Today, I have an unexpected gain. Reuben,

the person that Prince Masato wants to eliminate the most! You think I

would miss such a great opportunity? You won't leave here alive

tonight. I want you dead!" Athena laughed wildly.

Luther furrowed his brow. Prince Masato, was she referring to Clint?

The eldest son of Rohomes? Athena's background was deeply

connected to the Rohomes family. That was why he was cautious about

the Rohomes. He didn't want to cause an international incident

because of his own affairs.

At this moment, Reuben approached Luther and explained in a low

voice, "Athena's aunt, Taura Yoshikawa, married the current emperor,

and their child is the eldest son, Clint. The Yoshikawa family is the

biggest dark power in Rohomes, and Taura and Charity are sisters. So,

Clint is Athena's cousin. As for me, my mother is from the Pascaylia

people. I have no blood relation with Athena, that psycho woman."

Luther furrowed his brow even tighter. Athena's deep connection to the

Rohomes royal family was surprising. Athena being the cousin of the

current crown prince and the most competitive heir to the throne.

Athena, the cousin of the crown prince, no wonder OGW had ties to the

Rohomes royal family and dared to be so arrogant.

Dealing with Athena was equivalent to being an enemy of the entire

Rohomes royal family.

Therefore, even with his reinforcements, he couldn't easily kill Athena

tonight.

Athena turned to the black-clad people next to her and ordered,

"Except for Luther, Kill everyone else without mercy."

Then, she gave Luther a seductive smile. "Luther, since you're so

heartless, I won't be polite tonight. Everyone except you will die! It's

because of you that our family won't have a happy reunion. Don't blame

me for being ruthless!"

Luther was familiar with Athena's style. The moment she gave the

order, he had already reacted. He forcefully pushed Reuben and Alisha

to a low wall nearby. No matter what, he couldn't let Alisha be harmed

anymore.

Just as the firefight was about to break out, suddenly, a commotion

came from behind the black-clad people.

The rear became chaotic, causing the black-clad people in front to turn

around and look.

They saw dozens of military anti-explosion vehicles speeding and

stopping, and dozens of people in military uniforms descended from the

vehicles. They all held rifles and quickly surrounded the black-clad

people, pointing their guns at each other.

Athena cursed, "Damn it, it's the military! Damn you, Joyce."

At the same time, a large number of special police and mercenaries

arrived. They were summoned by the signal flare Luther had fired. They

had been lurking nearby all along, and the signal flare was just a signal

to act.

Inner circle, outer circle.

The three parties surrounded each other and there was no escape.
