Chapter 271
“I can promise you, but…” Harold looked at Mark. “How can you promise me that you’ll let Crystal go after I fulfill your request?”
Mark said, “You are not qualified to negotiate with me!”
Luke glanced at his phone and whispered something into Harold’s ear. Harold nodded and smiled. “Not qualified?”
“Bring him in.”
Mark was stunned. He saw that something had been thrown to the ground. When he took a closer look, he found that it was Cyril, who was recuperating in the old house!
Cyril was whipped, and there was almost no good flesh on his body. He couldn’t move even if he was thrown to the ground. His wounds burst open, and blood flowed out. His voice was hoarse with pain. “Dad… Dad, save me!”
With a click, the trigger of the gun in Harold’s hand was pulled. The muzzle pointed directly at Cyril’s head. He tilted his head and looked at Mark. “Now, am I qualified?”
When Kimberly saw this scene, her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. The fact that her son had been thrown to the ground with wounds all over his body had already caused her to feel sorry for him, but now he was being pointed at the head by a gun!
“Mark!” Kimberly screamed, “Enough! That’s enough! We’ve already got what we want! Release Crystal, or that lunatic Harold will do something!”
“What do you know?” Mark roared at her and whispered, “I have no choice now! If Harold doesn’t die today, how can we live a peaceful life in the future?”
Kimberly’s face was streaked with tears. “Then what about our son? He’s your biological son!” Mark took a deep breath and said to Harold, “I have more than one son, but Crystal is the only one he has! We shall see who’s the one who can go all out!”
Cyril couldn’t believe what he heard. ‘Dad?!?! You’re not going to save me?! You’re not going to save me?!”
Kimberly covered her chest and said, “Mark, are you still human?!”
Harold looked down at Cyril from above and curled his lips. “Did you hear that? It was your father who gave up on you.”
Cyril burst into tears. “Brother… brother! This is between you two. It’s between you and Mark. Don’t get me involved! I know I’m disrespectful to you. I’ve been punished. Please don’t…”
Harold’s fingers, which were pulling the trigger, moved slightly, and Cyril’s voice trembled. “Brother!!! No!! I beg you, please, I beg you, I don’t want to die… I really don’t want to die… Mom and Dad!! This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Mom… Mom, please save me…”
Kimberly hissed, “Cyril…”
Harold exerted force with his fingers, and Mark’s pupils suddenly contracted. With a bang, a gunshot sounded. Cyril was still crying, but Mark covered his shoulder, took two steps back, and knelt on the ground.
-Harold moved the muzzle the moment he opened fire and aimed at Mark!
All of a sudden, there was a moment of silence in the warehouse, and then it was in chaos.
This shot was like a signal, lighting up the explosives, and the people on both sides began to fight. Kimberly was so frightened that she fell to the ground. Mark coughed a few times, covered his wound, and said viciously, “Go… cut off the rope!”
Hearing his voice, Kimberly subconsciously picked up the dagger on the ground and said in a trembling voice, “Cut, cut off the rope… Then… what should we do?”
Mark gritted his teeth and said, “Harold has already fired his gun! Do you think he will let us go?! Even if I have to die, I must make sure that Harold’s sweetheart will die with me!”
