Chapter 286

“I'm sorry I'm late.” Luther yanked Joyce up off the floor and heartily

gathered her into his side.

He glanced at the grass and saw Joyce's pistol. He picked it up and

handed it to Joyce.

The moment Joyce got the gun, out of the corner of her eye, she saw

the masked man was about to attack again, and she directly pulled the

trigger.

The masked man realized the danger and dodged to avoid it, but was

finally a step too late. The bullet scratched through his elbow.

As a last resort, he hid behind a tree.

He took out a flare, lit it, and sent it up into the sky.

"Beep", the white light flashed. In the gray twilight, it looked particularly

blinding.

Luther pulled Joyce all the way south, "We better leave now. He just

sent a flare, and I'm afraid the other killers will all arrive soon.”

"Hmm." Joyce tightened her grip on his hand, feeling more at ease than

ever before, "The man with that weird mask, I'm afraid, is the

mastermind behind everything. We must catch him. Perhaps, he has

got something to do with Grandma's death.”

"Karl is on his way with his men, and when we meet up, we'll get rid of

the thugs.” Luther led Joyce through the jungle, retreating in the

direction of the creek.

On the other hand, the masked man hid behind a tree and simply

bandaged his elbow that had been grazed by the bullet. Fortunately, he

was well trained and he was so agile and swift. If he had been just a

little bit slower, his right hand would be ruined.

Unexpectedly, Joyce turned out to be a marksman, and Charlotte did

not tell him this, making him misjudge.

The man with the mask was none other than Ricky.

He used to be a special mercenary, and he never made a mistake

when he was on the job. This time, he made a series of mistakes, all

because he misjudged Joyce's ability. He had planned well and

contacted several groups of assassins and former mercenaries through

the dark network. First, he kidnapped Georgia, then he kidnapped

Joyce to Hill Benjamin and diverted the attention of the police to the

vicinity of Phoenix Mountain. In this way, when the opportunity was

right, after getting the ransom, he planned to kill Joyce and Georgia at

the same time, and then just burn the entire abandoned warehouse, to

make the illusion that Georgia was working with others to kidnap Joyce,

and finally, they both were exterminated by her accomplices. In this

way, the police would never be able to investigate the matter and find

any connections in the whole thing with him. The whole thing, from

Joyce being whipped by Georgia in the detention center, to Joyce being

kidnapped and killed, was all because of Georgia's personal grudge.

But he didn't expect Joyce to escape from his two subordinates first,

save Georgia regardless of their past, and finally cripple her two

subordinates. In the end, he had to silence them, since only the dead

would not talk.

Georgia was also originally from a mercenary background, and this

time she killed two of his subordinates.

Right now, Joyce has injured two more. Costing him dearly.

"Brother, help me." The two assassins who were injured by Joyce

earlier lay on the ground, moaning in pain. Both of their knees were

shot through, and they were afraid they would never be able to stand

up in their lives.

A flash of ruthlessness crossed Ricky's eyes. He pulled out the dagger.

"Brush!" He cut it through the throats of the two.

The two killers were instantly killed, their eyes staring at him like copper

bells.

"Piece of shit." Ricky kicked them twice in disgust, treating them like

garbage, and making sure they were dead. Finally, he wiped his dagger

clean.

"Joyce, Luther, since you're all here, why don't you just go to hell

together." A bloodthirsty glow burned under his eyes, and his warlike,

combative passion was ignited.
