Chapter 972
Everyone quickly did as he had ordered.
After the bandits stowed away their valuables, Cyclops nced at a dazed Nancy with an evil glint in
his eyes.
This is from N?velDrama.Org.
“Ms. Hinton, the boys, and I haven’t been getting any action for several months now. Pleasee over
and give us our fill.”
“You’ll be heavily rewarded if you manage to please us.”
Nancy’s face nched in horror.
These bandits were nothing but monsters that devoured everything in their path.
Death would be better than falling into their hands.
Nancy was close to having a mental breakdown as she shouted, “No... I’ll give you money. I’ll give you
as much as you want...”
However, Cyclops picked Nancy up in one go, without another word.
Nancy screamed desperately, “Help! General, help me...”
“Put her down! Or else, I’ll wipe out your entire group,” Ryker bellowed angrily.
Cyclops shouted, “Don’t move! If youe one step closer, I’ll make sure you never live to see another
day!”
Ryker strode forward fearlessly. “A soldier who isn’t ready to sacrifice his life to protect innocent lives
doesn’t deserve to be a soldier...”
Bang!
Cyclops fired a shot without hesitation, and the bullet went through Ryker’s thigh.
“Ah!” With a yelp, Ryker fell to his knees.
Then, Cyclops left with a mocking grin.
Ryker’s men were startled and hurried towards him. “General, what should we do now?”
“Should we call in fire support?”
“Those bandits are getting out of line. They must be eradicated.”
Ryker waved his hand and shushed them. “Don’t cause a stir. If we rm the bandits, they’ll have no
qualms about killing the hostage.”
He took out his phone and called Zeke, castigating him when the call connected, “Zeke Williams, you
sure have some balls of steel!”
“Just get to the point.” Zeke sounded slightly annoyed.
“I’ve long caught wind that there were bandits near the Whiteridge tourist area, so I led a team of men
here to deal with them,” Ryker gritted through his teeth.
“But I’d never expected that the people in charge of the Whiteridge tourist area were in cahoots with
these bandits. We were tricked and held at gunpoint. I was even shot.”
“But life doesn’t always go ording to n. The tourist spot’s person-in-charge, Nancy Hinton, had an
internal conflict with the bandits because of an unfair distribution of spoils, and was kidnapped by
them...”
What!
Zeke’s mouth twitched violently.
In cahoots with these bandits? Unfair distribution of spoils? It’s all bulls***.
It did not take a genius to figure out that this was all arranged by the Lewis family.
They wanted to use Linton Group and Nancy to force him out of Atheville, so that he would return to
Rivermouth.
He never thought that they would target Linton Group!
Zeke clenched his jaw and growled, “Ryker Lewis, you and your family can continue deluding
yourselves.”
“I swear on my life, that if you so much as touch a hair on Nancy’s head, I’ll erase you and your whole
family from the face of the earth!”
Ryker’s voice sounded slightly guilty when he refuted, “Hmph. I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Nancy Hinton’s life is in the hands of those bandits. The Lewis family has no say in it.”
“You stay where you are. I’ll be there soon,” Zeke responded in a clipped tone.
When Lacey heard about Nancy’s kidnapping, she instantly starting crying, out of anxiety.
“Zeke, what should we do?”
“Nancy has fallen into the hands of those people... I can’t even bear to think about the consequences.”
Lacey sobbed through her words.
“Zeke, hurry. We have to save Nancy.”
Zeke tried to soothe her, “Lacey, don’t worry. The Lewis family is gunning for us, so they probably won’t
harm Nancy.”
“Leave it to me. I’ll definitely bring Nancy back in one piece.”
However, Lacey insisted on apanying him.
Under Zeke’s consistent persuasion, Lacey finally agreed to stay behind to wait for his news.
Zeke hopped into his car and sped towards Rivermouth.
Along the way, he made a call.
