Chapter 288

“Luther, give up!"

Ricky finally gave a wild laugh. Everything, after all, was still under his

control, and no one could escape his hand.

Joyce just had trouble seeing in the dark and couldn't shoot accurately,

so naturally, she was no match for these professional killers.

Her gun was kicked away during the fight just now and immediately

afterward she was captured alive by the masked man.

She didn’t know what kind of medicine the masked man fed her. He

poured a small bottle of liquid down her throat, colorless and tasteless.

One of the thugs was responsible for holding her prisoner while the

masked man lifted her shirt and tied some ice-cold object around her

waist. It was too dark for her to see at all.

Luther quickly drew his own pistol, looked alert, and confronted the

thugs.

Because he had a gun in his hand, the rest of the thugs did not dare to

approach him for the time being.

He approached Joyce step by step, calm and ruthless.

"Don't come any closer, stand still." The thug who was holding Joyce

was so shocked by Luther's cold and ruthless aura that he couldn't stop

trembling when he spoke.

"Put the gun down now! Or I'll kill her now!" The thug yelled out of

control.

The rest of the thugs have turned on their flashlights, and the

incandescent light suddenly illuminated the surrounding environment.

“Don't listen to him!" Joyce, undaunted by the dagger across her neck,

shouted out while the thug was distracted and his grip was loosened.

"Bitch!" The thug, very much annoyed, kicked Joyce hard.

Joyce stifled a grunt of pain and collapsed to her knees.

The thug took advantage of the situation to hold her more firmly, the

sharp blade leaving a shallow bloody mark on her neck.

At that moment, Luther almost lost his composure, "Don't hurt her."

Joyce narrowed her eyes, and her gaze showed a cold light of

determination and toughness, and a subdued smile rose to the corners

of her lips. She told him with her eyes that there was no compromise!

Luther's hand, which was holding the gun at this point, couldn't stop

shaking.

Joyce's reaction at this moment, without the slightest fear in her

expression, gave him endless confidence and strength. It's not as if he

hadn't weighed it up. If he put down his gun and gave up his hand, he

would still end up with Joyce being humiliated and then both of them

being killed, no different from his current situation. This gang of thugs

would by no means be merciful to them.

Both sides just stayed like that for a while.

Luther tried desperately to force himself to be calm.

He suddenly shouted, "You all took the business from the darknet, and

since it's about money, why don't we make a deal. No matter how much

he pays you, I'll pay a hundred times."

“I'm the president of R&S in Khebury, and I'm sure you know how much

I'm worth. I have plenty of money." Luther glanced at several of the

thugs beside him and he knew his words had worked when he saw

them look at each other.

Ricky smiled and screamed in his heart. He didn't expect Luther to

come up with such a move, which was beyond his expectation.

"We have got rules!" Ricky coldly shouted, also to remind the crowd

that they might lose their lives if they violated the rules of the darknet.

"Rules are made by people. I will give you enough money and you can

all live the rest of your life rich and without being known." Luther

sneered.

The two sides remained at loggerheads.

At this point, no one noticed that Georgia, who had previously run away

on her own, was creeping closer.

She saw Joyce being held hostage by the thugs and the rest of the

people were confronting Luther.

She sneaked closer and before the thug holding Joyce could notice

her, she suddenly jumped up and flung her sharp dagger straight into

the back of the thug, piercing his heart.

The thug only gave an "ah" and was killed before he even knew what

had happened.

With the sudden change, Joyce reacted quickly and she leaned over to

get out of the hold.

Ricky saw what happened out of the corner of his eye, and he was

angry. He leaped, dagger in his hands, to grab Joyce.

“You are the one behind everything and you are the one who wants to

kill me?” Georgia swung her whip straight at Ricky.

Ricky had no choice but to dodge out of the way.
