Chapter 288


    "Luther, give up!"


    Ricky finally gave a wildugh. Everything, after all, was still under his control, and no one could


    escape his hand.


    Joyce just had trouble seeing in the dark and couldn''t shoot urately, so naturally, she was no match


    for these professional killers.


    Her gun was kicked away during the fight just now and immediately afterward she was captured alive


    by the masked man.


    She didn’t know what kind of medicine the masked man fed her. He poured a small bottle of liquid


    down her throat, colorless and tasteless. One of the thugs was responsible for holding her prisoner


    while the masked man lifted her shirt and tied some ice-cold object around her waist. It was too dark for


    her to see at all.


    Luther quickly drew his own pistol, looked alert, and confronted the thugs.


    Because he had a gun in his hand, the rest of the thugs did not dare to approach him for the time


    being.


    He approached Joyce step by step, calm and ruthless.

    "Don''te any closer, stand still." The thug who was holding Joyce was so shocked by Luther''s cold


    and ruthless aura that he couldn''t stop trembling when he spoke.


    "Put the gun down now! Or I''ll kill her now!" The thug yelled out of control.


    The rest of the thugs have turned on their shlights, and the incandescent light suddenly illuminated


    the surrounding environment.


    "Don''t listen to him!" Joyce, undaunted by the dagger across her neck, shouted out while the thug was


    distracted and his grip was loosened.


    "Bitch!" The thug, very much annoyed, kicked Joyce hard.


    Joyce stifled a grunt of pain and copsed to her knees.


    The thug took advantage of the situation to hold her more firmly, the sharp de leaving a shallow


    bloody mark on her neck.


    At that moment, Luther almost lost hisposure, "Don''t hurt her."


    Joyce narrowed her eyes, and her gaze showed a cold light of determination and toughness, and a


    subdued smile rose to the corners of her lips. She told him with her eyes that there was no


    Luther''s hand, which was holding the gun at this point, couldn''t stop shaking.


    Joyce''s reaction at this moment, without the slightest fear in her expression, gave him endless


    confidence and strength. It''s not as if he hadn''t weighed it up. If he put down his gun and gave up his


    hand, he would still end up with Joyce being humiliated and then both of them being killed, no different


    from his current situation. This gang of thugs would by no means be merciful to them.


    Both sides just stayed like that for a while.


    Luther tried desperately to force himself to be calm.


    He suddenly shouted, "You all took the business from the dar, and since it''s about money, why


    don''t we make a deal. No matter how much he pays you, I''ll pay a hundred times."


    "I''m the president of R&S in Khebury, and I''m sure you know how much I''m worth. I have plenty of


    money." Luther nced at several of the thugs beside him and he knew his words had worked when he


    saw them look at each other.


    Ricky smiled and screamed in his heart. He didn''t expect Luther toe up with such a move, which


    was beyond his expectation.


    "We have got rules!" Ricky coldly shouted, also to remind the crowd that they might lose their lives if


    they vited the rules of the dar.


    "Rules are made by people. I will give you enough money and you can all live the rest of your life rich


    and without being known." Luther sneered.


    The two sides remained at loggerheads.


    At this point, no one noticed that Georgia, who had previously run away on her own, was creeping


    closer.


    She saw Joyce being held hostage by the thugs and the rest of the people were confronting Luther.


    She sneaked closer and before the thug holding Joyce could notice her, she suddenly jumped up and


    flung her sharp dagger straight into the back of the thug, piercing his heart.


    The thug only gave an "ah" and was killed before he even knew what had happened.


    With the sudden change, Joyce reacted quickly and she leaned over to get out of the hold.


    Ricky saw what happened out of the corner of his eye, and he was angry. He leaped, dagger in his


    hands, to grab Joyce.


    "You are the one behind everything and you are the one who wants to kill me?” Georgia swung her


    whip straight at Ricky.


    Ricky had no choice but to dodge out of the way.
