Chapter 1862: Sending You Westward
Chapter 1862: Sending You Westward
Seren''s eyes darkened, filled with a devouring re. He detested when things went beyond his
nned scope. It made him feel extremely displeased, and now he needed a ruthless release.
Felix continued to provoke him, "If you truly want to obtain this huge sum of money, first you need to
give me aputer. I have to use my iris to open thework key settings and then cancel the key.
Only then can you use the key to open the vault. Otherwise, this secret vault will be as imprable as
a stone in the sea, and no one will be able to get the money inside."
Seren never expected that the vault would be tied to Felix''s life. In this case, he couldn''t kill Felix
because he needed thatrge sum of money.
His eyes narrowed almost into a straight line, revealing a fierce glint.
He turned and ordered the ck-d person next to him, "Go and fetch aptop. Felix, right in front of
me, delete the iris system for me now."
Felix sneered, "Do you think I''m that foolish? Shouldn''t we exchange conditions?"
"What conditions?" Seren asked through gritted teeth. At this point, he had to take a step back.
After all, everything was still within his control, and he didn''t need to worry too much.
"Release all the hostages here, including Vicki, my father, my elder brother, Bride, Westbrook, and
Carlo," Felix calmly proposed his conditions. He pointed to the detained Saunders in the hall, and his
gaze finally settled on Vicki. At this moment, he no longer cared about himself; he just hoped that Vicki
and his family would be safe. As for the rest, it didn''t matter anymore.
"Hahaha!" Seren burst into a long, terrifyingughter, "Do you think I''m a fool? If I release all the people
here, what guarantee do I have that you''ll delete the iris system? Do you think I don''t know? Your
people, Mr. Ball''s people, and the helpers you brought along, they are all surrounding us outside. They
won''t be fewer than my people. If a conflict breaks out, I might not be able to leave unscathed. As for
something without bargaining chips, do you think I would do it? Felix, you are truly naive!"
Felix frowned, constantly clenching his fingers, contemting what to do.
Unexpectedly, Vicki suddenly spoke up, "Let the others go, I''ll stay. I am enough on my own. Can''t I,
alone, be worth more than all the hostages here?"
"Vicki!!" Felix couldn''t help but shout. He had put in so much effort, even willing to hand over the key to
the vault. The person he most wanted to save, the person he cared about the most, of course, was her.
But now Vicki was saying this? She wanted to stay?
With a pregnant belly, she still wanted to stay?! Was she insane?
Didn''t she know? She was his Achilles'' heel. As long as she was in Seren''s hands, he had no room to
maneuver. He had already made up his mind that no matter what, he would exchange thework key
for Vicki''s safety. As for the bloody battle that would follow, it wouldn''t affect Vicki.
Vicki pursed her lips and said to Seren, "Don''t hesitate. Do you want things to escte further? Attract
the authorities and send in the military to suppress it? No one will benefit from that."
Seren furrowed his brow and pondered. Indeed, as long as Vicki was still in his hands, that was the
most important bargaining chip. As for the others, they didn''t matter.
"Fine, let''s do it this way." Seren waved his hand, gesturing to the ck-d people below, "Prepare to
release the hostages and take all these people outside the door."
"Wait. Release Westbrook too, but blindfold him when hees out," Vicki said calmly, pointing at
Westbrook among the detained individuals in the hall. "After all, he''s just a child. Don''t let him see his
mother''s condition."
"Heh, you''re quite considerate," Seren sneered coldly. "Vicki, you truly live up to your name. You
possess both capability andpassion, which makes you worthy of being my woman."
Vicki didn''t respond.
Felix''s gaze had been following Vicki all along, filled with concern. Although he knew Vicki was not one
to shy away from danger, he still hoped she would consider her own safety, at least for now.
Luther activated hismunication device on his cor. "Mr. Ball, Seren is releasing the hostages now.
You wait outside and take them away from the Saunders residence to a safe ce. Inform mewhen
they''re secure."
"Understood!" Mr. Ball replied through themunicator.
In a short while, the ck-d individuals dragged the unconscious Johnie, Reese, and Bride, who
could only cry silently, out of the hall. Carlo followed, and finally, Westbrook, who had a blindfold over
his eyes.
Westbrook kicked his feet, shouting, "Let me go! Let me go! You''re all bad people! I want to save my

dad! I want to save my dad!"
The "dad" he referred to was naturally Reese.
This was the first time Felix saw the mature side of Westbrook. Although his biological parents weren''t
good people, children still had the potential for growth. That''s why Felix insisted on saving Westbrook
as well. Given Seren''s depravity, he had no emotional attachment to Westbrook. It was possible that
after all this, Seren might kill Westbrook directly, or at the very least, the likelihood of him being tortured
to death was high.
Seren coldly observed this scene. "Felix, you truly have an overflowing sympathy. You even want to
protect my son. How ridiculous."
Felix couldn''t be bothered to deal with Seren. After all, it was a matter of someone''s life.
Once all the hostages were evacuated, Seren ced theptop on a small coffee table and kicked it
towards Felix. "Your demands have been met. Now delete the iris system immediately."
Felix hesitated for a moment but then stepped forward. He opened theptop and began logging into
the website of an overseas bank.
At that moment, Joyce and Darrin, who were on top of the spire, were closely monitoring the situation
below.
"Darrin, we don''t know what conditions they exchanged, but everyone else is safe now. Only Vicki
remains under Seren''s control," Joyce shifted her position. "Unfortunately, Seren is blocked by a pir,
and I can''t aim at him."
Darrin replied, "I can''t get a clear shot either. What should we do, Commander?"
"Wait a little longer. At least the target range has narrowed now. Let''s not focus on Seren for the time
being. Do you see the three ck-d individuals on the left? When I give the signal, I''ll take care of
those three, and you handle the two on the right. We have to be quick, resolve it within three seconds,"
Joyce instructed.
"No problem. I''m capable of that," Darrin responded.
They continued to hide on the tform of the spire, waiting for the right moment.
Inside the hall, Felix had sessfully logged into the website and was now preparing to unlock the
Seren stared intently at everything, his gaze falling on the pendant hanging from Felix''s chest. He
wondered, wouldn''t Felix have the key with him? Perhaps it was hidden somewhere, like in the
pendant?
Why wait? Once Felix unlocked the iris, he could send Felix westward with a single blow. He could
press the delete key himself. Wouldn''t that be the best option?
