Silly Bride Chapter 63


    Chapter 63


    Xavier narrowed his eyes a fraction. Nevertheless, he remained calm and unruffled.“Then, you’re really


    dishonorable. If you’re going back on your word with me now, would you still divide the gold bars


    among yourckey after obtaining them? Or are you not even nning to allow them to live? If you do


    so, would anyone still dare to follow you in the future?”His words were tantamount to a huge rock


    tossed into the water, resulting in massive waves.Sure enough, the other kidnappers present had their


    eyes trained on the suitcase of gold, all wearing eager expressions.When the kidnapper in the pig


    mask saw that hisckeys had been sessfully divided, he shot out his hand and swung it at Xavier’s


    face.As he did so, he roared, “Stop sowing discord here! Do you believe that I’ll rip your tongue


    out?”s, Xavier moved faster than the man, for he dodged before thetter’s fist couldnd on


    him.On the heels of that, he grabbed hold of Winnie. They then darted to the side of the wall by the


    window.As soon as Xavier caught sight of an iron rod on the ground, he shot Winnie a look. “Pick it up


    and smash the window.”Winnie, on the other hand, was rather reluctant to do so. In a whisper, she


    muttered, “They’ve got two guns, mister.”Xavier frowned. “Just do as I said!”“Fine.” The wooden panel


    on the broken window was rotting so badly that it was moments away from falling off, so Winnie didn’t


    need an iron rod. All she needed to do was to hit it twice with her elbow.With two thuds, she smashed


    the rotten wooden panel.Unfortunately, that attracted the kidnappers’ attention.The man in the pig mask


    instantly pointed the gun at Winnie. “What are you doing?”Winnie hastily raised her hands tactfully and


    shoved all the me on Xavier beside her.“It wasn’t me, Sir! Mr. Fairchild was the one who told me to


    do so. He said it was too stuffy in here, so he needed some fresh air.”The man in the pig mask snorted


    a bark ofughter. “What’s the fuss about whether the air is fresh when you’ll be dying soon? You rich


    people are so fussy.”“Exactly! Rich people like them are so pampered!” As Winnie seconded him, she


    hooked the iron rod to her back with a leg for her convenience to use it anytime.At the same time, the


    man in the pig mask ordered, “The few of you, go and tie them up first! I still want to torture them


    slowly!”At that turn of events, Winnie took two steps back.Honestly speaking, she had no problems


    jumping out the window behind her with her agility though it wasn’t all that big.She raised her hands


    even higher. “Since your target is Mr. Fairchild, I can leave, right?”Actually, she didn’t mean anything by


    asking such a foolish question. She merely wanted to buy time.After all, Xavier’s men, as well as


    Christopher and the others, were probably still on their way there.They all had the location. While they


    deliberately kept a distance during the departure out of worry that the kidnappers would discover them,


    they likely wouldn’t be thatte.“What do you think, gentlemen? Consider allowing me to leave, won’t


    you?” Winnie continued buying time.All the kidnappers present acted as though they had heard the


    greatest joke in the world, bursting into raucousughter at once.The man in the pig mask started


    mocking her. “What a na?vedy! Do you think you can still walk out of here alive when your employer


    is going to die?”In a sh, someone stepped forward and suggested, “I think it’s okay to spare her,


    Boss. She’s a woman, so she’ll definitely be of some use!”“Yeah, Boss! I’ve been celibate for several


    months now, and I’d love to have a taste of her!” “Say, aren’t you too ravenous, Tigris? Look at her.


    She’s been wearing a mask all along. Who knows what her countenance looks like beneath the mask?


    She might be unsightly! Yet, you don’t mind it, huh?”“What’s the big deal about wearing a mask? Look


    at her eyes! They’re bright and crystalline. As such, she must be a beauty!”At longst, Xavier


    snapped, “That’s enough! Shut up if you don’t want to die!”They can say anything they like, but not her


    eyes, for her eyes are a carbon copy of Dumbo’s. Never mind if they insult anyone else, but


    not Dumbo, including everything that bears a resemnce to her!“Whoa! You’ve got a broken leg and


    are now in captivity, yet you’re still all arrogant, Mr. Fairchild!”The man in a pig mask scratched his


    head with the gun. “So what if I just want to die? Are you capable of rushing over and killing me now?


    You’re just a d*mn cripple!”In response, Xavier sneered, “Hah! It’s a piece of cake to kill the lot of you. I


    don’t need the use of my leg at all!”As he said that, he hugged Winnie around the waist.Before she


    could gather her wits about her, he yanked open her shirt.In a heartbeat, the buttons on her shirt


    scattered on the ground, revealing the ck bulletproof vest underneath.Stunned for a moment, Winnie


    regarded him with a frown. “What are you doing? Have you lost your mind?”Xavier ignored her, merely


    continuing to tear at her shirt.Only after the outeryer of the bulletproof vest was torn off did Winnie


    notice two liquid bombs attached to the inside of it.She was wholly floored.I evenplimented Louis


    on his consideration when he brought me a bulletproof vest, but it turned out that they nted bombs inFrom N?velDrama.Org.


    it!Her eyes went wide, and incredulity was written all over her face. “D*mn you! Why didn’t you nt the


    bombs in your own bulletproof vest?”Xavier looked down at her, but still, he said nothing at all.The


    group of kidnappers reacted swiftly as well. The instant they saw the bombs on Winnie, they


    immediately scattered and backed away.A timid one among them even wanted to open the door and


    leave, but a shot from the man in the pig mask stopped him in his tracks.“Come back here! Why are


    you running? I don’t believe it, so stop trying to y me for a fool with fake bombs, Xavier Fairchild!


    Would someone like you choose to die with people like us?”Xavier’s lips turned up, and he took out a


    mini remote control from his pocket.He lightly pressed a button, upon which the timer on the bombs


    promptly started a ten-minute countdown.“You can try your luck. The remote control is in my hands. I


    can have it explode at once or pause it. It’s your choice.”Fear began creeping into the man in the pig


    mask, for the bombs looked no different from the real thing. “Do you believe I’ll kill you with a single


    shot?”Xavier’s face was devoid of expression. “As I said, it’s your choice. You can kill me, but this


    remote control is connected to my heartbeat. Once my heart stops beating, the bombs will go off. At


    that time, this entire abandoned quarry will be reduced to rubble, much less the few of you. If you’ve


    made up your mind, my head is right here. You can pull the trigger anytime.”“Don’t shoot, Boss! I don’t


    want to die when we’ve got twenty million now!”“Exactly, Boss! Just return that woman to him. We can’t


    risk our lives!”“Hear, hear! Don’t act impulsively, Boss. We can flee anywhere with the gold bars in


    hand. There’s no need to fight him to the death here!”The man in the pig mask started wavering.In


    truth, the twenty million in gold bars were an idea that urred to him out of the blue. The orders he


    received weren’t to ckmail Xavier.Instead, it was to forcibly inject the man with a drug, making the


    latter addicted and ruining his life.
