Chapter 436


    Great. This is great! Toby didn’t agree to partner up with Den!


    No one knew how terrified she was that Toby might agree to partner up. After all, it wasn’t easy to


    refuse two Westsanshire treaty ports. Fortunately, he didn’t let Sonia down in the end.


    “Sure, sure. How noble of you, President Fuller.” Den giggled before he started pping out of


    the blue. “Still, aren’t you afraid that I might capture you along? After all, our discussion just fell


    through. I’m not willing to let her go, and you definitely won’t let me off the hook, so why don’t I just


    kill all three of you to spare me all the troubles?”


    Faced with the threat, Sonia had an immediate change in expression. “Mm, mm, mm\” She shook


    her head almost violently to get her message across.


    No! You have to leave now! That was what she wanted to tell Toby.


    Although Sonia really wanted Toby to rescue her, she still remembered Den mentioning that Toby


    was alone. Under this circumstance, it was impossible for him to rescue her. Right now, she’d rather


    Toby ditch her and leave when he still could.


    Even though Sonia had no feelings toward Toby, she didn’t want him to die for her. Surely, she


    would suffer from the guilt for the rest of her life, knowing he died because of her.


    Noticing Sonia’s agitated manner, Toby had his eyes softened up as he could guess what she was


    trying to say.


    However, his gaze reverted back to his usual cold ones as he stared at Den. “You’re afraid of


    killing me!”


    He was filled with absolute confidence as he imed, “Not only that! You might even be afraid of


    capturing me.”


    Right then, Den’s expression changed, and even Sonia quietened down as well. What does he


    mean? Why did Toby say that Den won’t dare to capture him or kill him?


    While Sonia was pondering about it, Den broke the silence. “What makes you think that I’m


    afraid, President Fuller?” His fists flinched a little, and his lips twitched before his cold voice rang


    out.


    “Because I understand what kind of a person you are,” Toby pursed his lips and answered. “Since


    you’re an illegitimate son, you’re more ambiguous than any other people, and that’s why you’re


    ruthless enough to rise from the other illegitimate children. Nevertheless, you’re a coward who’s


    afraid of death at the same time.”


    Den’s pupils constricted when he heard the words ‘afraid of death’.


    However, Toby looked as if he hadn’t noticed it and continued speaking, “That’s because you’ll lose


    everything if you die. You know clearly that the Fuller Family wouldn’t ever forgive you if you try to


    capture or kill me and will do everything they can to destroy you while you can’t do anything to


    defend yourself. If it weren’t so, you would have already gotten your men to capture me when I


    showed up just now.”


    At this moment, Den was rendered speechless as his expression changed while he red at


    Toby intently. Right then, Sonia realized that Toby was right. That solved her question of why Den


    didn’t capture Toby when Toby showed up, and why Toby was courageous enough to show up on


    his own. So that’s why.


    “So, can you return Sonia to me now?” Toby started walking forward. “I’ll repeat myself. Hand her


    back to me, and I’ll let you guys go for now. Who you guys want to kill are none of my business, and


    I won’t stop you. My revenge on you guys won’t be too harsh, and I won’t take your lives.”


    “Don’te near me!” Den suddenly roared when he saw Toby inching closer to him.


    Pausing for a moment, Tobyposed himself before heading forward again.


    Upon seeing that Toby wasn’t listening, Den gritted his teeth as a twisted look took over his


    delicate-looking face.


    Right then, his man couldn’t help but ask, “Young Master Den, what should we do? Should we


    return her to him? If that’s impossible, why don’t we capture him without injuring him and only let


    him off when our ride is here?”


    Den’s eyes wavered a little as he clenched and unclenched his fist. He looked hesitant, as if he


    was contemting what his man had said.


    Nevertheless, Carl’s gentle yet bloodlust-filled voice suddenly rang out. “Den, you’re really easy


    to locate.”


    At this moment, Toby’s expression changed before he turned around abruptly to re at Carl. Dang


    it, Carl! Of any time you could havee, why do you have to arrive now ?!


    Toby could tell that Den was tempted by what he offered just now and was considering letting


    Sonia go. However, now that Carl showed up with so many men, Den knew that he couldn’t run


    anymore. He would definitely be agitated and would try to use Sonia’s life to threaten them.


    As expected, Den initially decided to return Sonia to Toby and leave the ce. After all, Toby was


    alone and couldn’t hold all of them back, and he could still find ways to remove Lucius anyway.


    After Lucius was gone, even if Toby wanted to get his revenge, Den could still rise up as long as


    he was alive. In fact, he might even exceed Toby and get his revenge on him instead. Yet, with Carl


    catching up to them with twice the amount of men Den had and the helicopter not reaching,


    Den knew that Carl would never let him off the hook even if he let Sonia go. By now, why should I


    let her go ?


    At the thought of that, Den suddenly moved toward the side and pulled Sonia toward him from


    the two buff men. After removing the jacket on Sonia, he grabbed Sonia by her neck forcefully


    before


    staggering backward along with her.


    Not far away from their back was a dangerously steep slope. The steep slope was a few feet in


    length, and at the end of the slope was a bottomless abyss.

    As Den’s movement was too sudden, everyone else was taken aback before they came back to


    their senses. Upon seeing Den grabbing Sonia by her throat and standing at the edge of the


    slope, Toby tensed up. “Den, let her go!”


    He felt like his lungs were about tobust due to his anger. Carl, you fool! If Carl had been slightly


    late—if he showed up after Den let Sonia go—the situation wouldn’t have escted up to this


    point.


    Still, Carl was oblivious to what Toby was thinking. Nevertheless, his face darkened, as he could


    guess that his appearance caused Den to do what he was doing now. “Did you hear that,


    Den? Let go of Sonia.”


    “Let go of her?” Den turned around to look at Sonia with a sinister grin on his face. “Let go of her


    and get captured by you guys? Hmph\ Do you think I’m stupid to let her off so easily? If it wasn’t


    because of the unlucky traffic jam, do you think I’ll be cornered by you guys here?”


    “What do you want?” Toby’s knuckles were turning pale from how hard he was clenching his fists.


    “What I want is simple. I want him dead!” Den’s gazended on Carl. “President Fuller, didn’t you


    mention that you don’t mind me killing Lucius? If he’s dead, we will be able to return to how it was


    before he showed up. I’ll let go of your ex-wife, and you’ll let me leave. Of course, I’ll have to deal


    with your revengeter on.”


    Everything was fine as long as he wasn’t dead, as there was still a chance for him to rise up again.


    As long as he could be the head of the Hayes Family and prove himself to those thatughed


    at him for being an illegitimate son, he wouldn’t mind being amputated or anything.


    “So, do you want me to kill him?” Toby narrowed his eyes before scanning Carl.


    Right then, Carl kept quiet as if the person getting his life or death sentence wasn’t him. His gaze


    was lowered, and his face was devoid of any emotions.


    “That’s right.” Den nodded, as that was exactly what he wanted.


    At this moment, Toby gave Carl a nonchnt look. “Did you hear that? He wants me to kill you.”


    Carl looked up to meet Toby’s gaze. “Do you want to kill me?”
