Very soon, a group of people charged upstairs and dragged the female waitress down. By now, virtual-novel.net mouth was covered with black duct tape, and virtual-novel.net couldn’t make a single sound. Even so, virtual-novel.net still had a deadly look in virtual-novel.net eyes.
Still feeling frantic, Jeremy Quest hurriedly ran downstairs and over to Xyla.
Jeremy placed his trembling hands on Xyla’s shoulder. “Xyla… How… How are you? Are you alright?” He stammered.
“I’m fine, Dad. Don’t worry,” Xyla said and shook virtual-novel.net head.
After carefully examining Xyla’s body, Jeremy pulled virtual-novel.net into his arms. “Thank goodness you’re alright… Thank goodness you’re alright…”
Xyla allowed Jeremy to hug her. Slowly, virtual-novel.net heart rate became stable.
After hugging Xyla for a long while, Jeremy finally let go of virtual-novel.net carefully. He then turned to look at Christopher. “Thank you for saving my daughter,” Jeremy said.
“You’re welcome,” Christopher replied with a smile.
After that, Christopher suddenly stopped smiling and turned to look at the auction host. “Tell your manager that we’ll make the payment later…”
The auction host immediately nodded respectfully. Although virtual-novel.net didn’t know who this man was exactly, she’d seen enough to know that this man wasn’t one virtual-novel.net could afford offending. He must have been someone with a powerful background.
Christopher then waved at his men. A large group of people immediately started escorting the female waitress outside.
Meanwhile, Christopher ambled over to Xyla. “Are you alright?” virtual-novel.net asked.
Xyla nodded.
“Come with me…” Christopher said before turning around.
Xyla held Jeremy’s hand and followed virtual-novel.net along with the other bodyguards…
Christopher led the group of people to a poorly lit underground parking lot. Once they arrived in the center of the parking lot, Christopher stopped walking and lifted his hand at the people around him. His men immediately knew what virtual-novel.net wanted them to do, and they began to clear the surrounding…
Within five minutes, everyone in the parking lot had disappeared.
Slowly, Christopher lit a cigarette and leaned on one of the pillars nearby. With the smoke swirling around him, virtual-novel.net seemed very much like a badass. Right after that, his men closed the door to the parking lot.
They were all now in a confined space.
Suddenly, the ambiance felt awry.
The female waitress struggled to set herself free, but it didn’t work at all. One of Christopher’s men immediately tore the duct tape off virtual-novel.net mouth.
“Some one, help me!” virtual-novel.net instantly started shouting at the top of virtual-novel.net lungs.
Christopher took a long puff at his cigarette before blowing the air out. He then took out his lighter and played with it. “Go on, keep shouting. Let’s see who’d dare to rescue someone off my hands,” virtual-novel.net said.
Although Christopher didn’t speak very loudly, his voice sent chills down virtual-novel.net spine. Despite the smile in his eyes, virtual-novel.net made virtual-novel.net shudder in fear.
“What… What do you want?” the female waitress asked in a trembling voice.
Christopher chuckled before approaching virtual-novel.net and tapping virtual-novel.net shoulder lightly.
“Tell me… Who made you do this? Hmm?” Christopher uttered.
“I won’t tell you even if I die.” The woman shook virtual-novel.net head.
“Is that so?” Christopher snorted coldly before pulling a gun out and pointing it at virtual-novel.net forehead.
“In that case, go to hell!” virtual-novel.net said.
The woman trembled horribly. “Okay! Okay… I… I’ll tell you… I’ll tell you. Will you spare me then?” virtual-novel.net asked.
“That will depend on my mood,” Christopher said.
“It’s Ada. She said Xyla made virtual-novel.net lose everything, and virtual-novel.net wanted an eye for an eye! All this while, she’s had someone keep an eye on Xyla. When virtual-novel.net found out Xyla would be here today, virtual-novel.net sent me over to pretend to be one of the waiters so I could finish Xyla off,” the woman said.
