"Why don’t you go?!" Venus Mu cried out at Kerry Ye with all her strength, "If anything happens to my
child, I will hate you till I die."
They were running out of time.
Kerry was prostrate with grief. But he had to make the right decision. He picked up the baby and then
disappeared into thin air.
Gavin and Heng Zhang came into the room. They saw nothing but the disappearance of a figure.
The lights were turned on.
The room lit up. Letting go of Alisa, Venus protected her eyes from the dazzling light with her hand,
then smiled in relief when she saw that the baby had disappeared.
Alisa gave her a smack, shouting. "Bitch!".
Venus's eardrums were buzzing from the stinging slap; blood dripped from the corner of her mouth.
She spat out a mouthful of blood calmly. Sitting on the ground, she stared at these intruders with a cold
and sarcastic look.
A complicated expression shone in their countenances. They were shocked, angry and a little
frightened.
Of course, how could one not be frightened to witness a living person disappear right in front of them?
But she was happy that her child was finally safe. She didn’t care about her own life.
Gavin also noticed that the child was missing; he felt like someone had dug a hole in his heart. He took
a big step forward, reached over and had his hands around Venus’s neck, asking wrathfully, "Who was
that? Where’s the baby?"
Venus showed a faint smile, but didn’t answer.
"Answer my question!"
Venus was choking; she looked into Gavin’s eyes indifferently. "Of course he had gone back home."
Gavin was startled. Remembering the several appearances of that phantom, he seemed to realize
something, "That mysterious man is Kerry Ye?"
Venus smiled, "I don't know, why don't you go ask Kerry yourself?"
"You're looking for death!" Gavin was strangling Venus with growing strength. When Venus was about
to lapse into unconsciousness, an underling rushed into the room hastily. ”Boss, there's a couple of
guys coming up to the fourth floor with weapons.”
Gavin dropped Venus upon hearing the news. He realized there would come a back-up immediately.
"Get the weapons." Gavin turned bloodthirsty. He took a glance at Venus, who was gasping for breath
on the floor, then said to Alisa, "Keep an eye on her. She’s the final straw for us. She must not die!”
Alisa got dressed instantly, took out two guns and a dagger from her suitcase, and then pulled Venus
up, "Let’s go. Aren’t they coming to save you? Go out and take a look at who they are."
The two parties met in the narrow, dark aisle. The leader of the rescue team was none other than Kerry
Ye, who had just disappeared into thin air, his eyes were still glowing with a demonic violet aura. Next
to him was Tianye Mu, whose eyes were also blazing with fury.
"Kerry, I knew it was you." Gavin sneered, pointing his gun at Kerry, "I'm really curious, are you human
or demon?".
Kerry didn't want to chat with him, "Where is Venus? Hand her over and I'll let you go."
"You think I’m a 3-year-old child? If I give her to you, how am I supposed to leave this place safe and
sound?"
"I swear, I won’t run after you as long as you let Venus go."
"Ha ha," Gavin laughed viciously, "Unfortunately, I don't trust anyone but myself. I have to seize the
initiative. Bring her to me!"
Alisa pushed Venus to the crowd. Venus was still in her thin pajamas, with severely bruised arms and
swollen face.
"Venus!" Tianye shouted in distress.
Hearing the familiar voice, Venus trembled and looked over. Under the dim aisle light stood the man
she had been constantly thinking of. Surprise and happiness welled up in her heart.
"Brother! Brother! Thank God! You’re still alive!" Venus threw herself forward in excitement with tears
brimming her eyes, but was blocked by Alisa. As she moved, her neck was cut by a sharp dagger in
Alisa’s hand and bleeding.
Alisa showed a sinister smile, "It seems like you don't want to live, you've sent yourself to the knife."
"Don't hurt her! None of you will survive if she dies." Tianye roared in an angry and anxious tone.
Gavin smiled, "Step aside and make way for us. As long as we get out of here, she will be released."
"You think you can escape?" The purple aura in Kerry’s eyes was getting darker and darker.
"How can we know without having a try?" Saying this, Gavin took the dagger from Alisa's hand and
plunged it into Venus's shoulder blade.
“Ah——"Venus screamed miserably. As Gavin pulled out the dagger, blood gushed from her wound
with a sickening thud.
"Stop!" Both Kerry and Tianye roared at the same time, their hands which held the guns were shaking.
The pain almost knocked Venus down. It was because of Alisa, who was holding her waist, that she
didn't fall to the ground.
Kerry was so distressed that he couldn't breathe. He was desperate to get her back at any cost. But he
was not sure if his teleportation could save Venus with so many people around her.
Gavin saw through Kerry's thoughts at first glance. He was scared in his heart, but showed no fear in
his countenance, "Kerry, are you thinking of using your magic power? Well, have a try. Let’s see if you
can rescue her from me." He then clutched Venus’s wrist tightly.
Though he seemed calm and self-possessed, only God knows how anxious he was. He was betting on
how much Kerry cared about Venus, and the moment he saw Kerry hesitated, Gavin knew he had won
the bet. "Still not letting us go? You guys really wanna stand by and watch this woman bleed to death?
Or, maybe I should give her another thrust......"
"Stop!" Kerry finally made compromise, gritting his teeth, "Okay, I'll let you go."
"That's right. If you had compromised before, she wouldn't have had to suffer that cut. Now, drop your
weapons." Gavin said coldly.
Kerry and Tianye bent down and put the guns on the ground gently.
"Bang!" A gun went off, Kerry instantly fell to the ground.
"Kerry!" The blood gushed out of her shoulder as Venus screeched.
Gavin looked back in astonishment and found that Heng was holding a gun with a murderous look on
his face.
Tianye covered the bloody hole in Kerry’s chest, staring at Gavin maliciously, "Damn it! You just went
back on your word!"
Henry Zhang was infuriated, red-eyed. He picked up the gun on the ground and was ready to fight, but
was stopped by Kerry, "No, don't shoot! Let them go."
"Young Master!" Henry was extremely furious, "Let’s fight it out with them. I’m sure Young Lady will be
fine."
Kerry shook his head feebly but was firm, "No, let them go."
Once the fight started, there was a great possibility that Venus would lose her life. He couldn't take the
risk.
"Get the hell out of here!" Tianye shouted, ”If my sister dies, none of you will survive.”
Gavin knew it was not a good idea to stay here any longer. Holding Venus, who was covered in blood,
Gavin moved to the elevator.
"Brother, save Kerry! Please, save him!" Venus pleaded in a weak voice.
Tianye wanted to open her brain to see what was in there. Her own life was already in danger, but she
was worrying about Kerry?
"He will be fine, you have to stay alive, okay? I will come to save you."
Venus was pushed into the elevator. She didn't have time to take a last look at Kerry and her brother as
she fell into a coma right after the elevator door was shut.
Before, when Gavin stabbed her with the dagger, Venus was going to faint. She had been holding on
because she didn't want exacerbate the conflict.
Kerry and Tianye would not hesitate to shoot Gavin and his partners, but since Venus was still in
Gavin's hands. Kerry and Tianye would hesitate for fear of Venus’s life, which would put them in a
disadvantageous position. Kerry's injury just now was a good proof of that.
"Get her up, her life is still useful." Gavin said coldly to Alisa, and then put the gun hard on Heng's
head, "Who the hell told you to shoot?"
Heng wasn’t guilty of his actions. He remembered that humiliating experience the moment he saw
Kerry. Immediately, he lost his head. Even now, he couldn’t get it back, "I just wanted to kill him!
Anyway, we made it, didn't we?"
"What if they lose their minds and retaliate upon us? Could we survive?"
Heng turned over his head in silence. The ultimate goal of his life was to get Kerry killed.
The elevator finally went down to the first floor. Gavin put his gun back, "I'll get even with you for this
later."
Alisa and another bodyguard bundled Venus into the car. As they were about to leave, the hotel lobby
became noisy again. A group of people carried Kerry out. His eyes tightly closed, not knowing if he’s
still alive.
"Go." Gavin ordered.
Two cars instantly disappeared into the night.
On the other side, Kerry was taken to the emergency room of People's Hospital.
