âI heard that the Blood Knight is known for his swift, ruthless, and accurate methods.
But waver after listening to a womanâs plea for life? Disappointed!â Mitchel scorned.
Mitchelâs words clearly suggested that Katie was merely fabricating excuses to escape.
Katieâs face immediately drained of color upon hearing this, cursing Mitchel silently.
Mitchelâs eyes were filled with coldness and mockery, adding, âIt seems rumors are not always credible.
â
Sure enough, Mitchelâs words provoked Lorenzo.
He quickly pulled out a delicate gun from his coat, aimed at Katie.
âThe consequence of playing tricks on me is always the same,â Lorenzo said coldly.
He didnât turn around, and his gaze was fixed on Mitchel.
But the gun in his hand was accurately aimed at the center of Katieâs head.
Katie was so nervous that her heart was about to explode.
Her eyes widened in shock, and she stammered in a panic, âNo, no, no⦠Mr.
Maxwell, please believe me⦠He⦠Heâs just trying to protect his woman and his child.
â
At this moment, the man in black who went to call the Shadows rushed back in and reported, âMr.
Maxwell, the Shadows cannot be contacted.
â
The Shadows were all out of contact.
At a time like this, it surely meant trouble.
It was likely that the special forces of Ambrosia had killed Lorenzoâs Shadows.
At the thought of this, Lorenzo swiftly turned the gun at Mitchel and pressed the muzzle against his forehead.
âHumph! Itâs you, right?â
Mitchel replied calmly, âThis is the International Banquet Center.
There are surveillance cameras every three meters.
Even if you destroy the surveillance system, there will still be traces left.
Besides, youâve been here for more than half an hour.
If someone notices something strange, itâs normal for them to call the police.
â
Lorenzo thought for a moment.
He realized Mitchelâs words made sense.
However⦠He scoffed.
âYou are only trying to provoke me into killing that woman.
She seems to be telling the truth.
â
Mitchel looked up, but before he could respond, Lorenzo turned to Katie, seeking confirmation with his gaze.
Katie breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed Lorenzo hadnât really intended to kill her just now.
She glared fiercely at Mitchel, who was still half-kneeling on the floor defiantly.
Katie seized the opportunity to explain to Lorenzo, âMr.
Maxwell, his ex-wife is the woman we talked about.
The one who has escaped you multiple times.
Donât you want to catch her yourself and torture her?â
Lorenzo relaxed his grip on the gun, raising it slightly as he stood.
âIs it her?â Lorenzoâs question was for Katie.
Lorenzo knew that the marriage system in Ambrosia was monogamous.
However, it was common for wealthy people to have several wives lurking in the background.
It was also normal for some to divorce and get married several times.
So, it didnât occur to him that the ex-wife Katie mentioned before was Raegan.
Katie nodded vigorously.
âYes, itâs her.
Youâve met her before.
You donât think Iâm lying to you now, right?â
Lorenzoâs interest was piqued at this moment.
He thought of Raegan, the prey that had slipped through his fingers twice before.
Finally, he could now crush her in his hands again.
Suddenly, he felt his blood boiling with excitement, almost screaming deep inside him.
He said, âMiss Glyn, tell me where she is.
â
Katie unconsciously shivered.
But she did not forget that she was still fighting for her safety.
âYes, I can tell you, Mr.
Maxwell.
But can you⦠Can you spare me?â
âDonât worry.
After we find her, I guarantee you can get out of here safe and sound.
Butâ¦â Lorenzo paused and smiled, showing his pearly white teeth.
âIf I find out you are lying to me, Iâll cut your stomach open and pull out your intestines.
It should be quite entertaining.
