Chapter 784 Threaten
"Sammy, please spare me! I''m still young. I want to live!" Lucas begged.
"Cut the crap! If you run away, I''ll lose my life in there! You only have one choice, which is to charge
into the room!" Sammy said.
Lucas was dumbfounded upon hearing his words, but he had no choice but to approach the basement
slowly.
The room was not lit brightly enough, and Lucas sensed that multiple dangers were waiting for him
inside. If more hidden traps were activated and they shot out weapons that he could not dodge, he
would surely lose his life.
"Look at how cowardly you are, you good-for-nothing!" Jett roared. He had already gathered his life
force toward his hands, ready to strike at Lucas should he step back.
Lucas gritted his teeth, mustering his courage to dash farther in. Right at this moment, Aria struck with
a dagger.
Aria dared not be careless. These men were all traditional martial artists, so she had to give this her all.
Lucas was cowardly, but he was also on guard. When he saw Aria dash toward him, his fear abated.
How powerful could a woman be?
At this moment, Aria''s dagger pierced his shoulder.
Lucas screamed.
Aria''s grip on her dagger tightened as she rotated the de still impaled in Lucas'' shoulder. She did it
until she could hear the de nging against the man''s bones.
"Ah, that hurts!" Lucas was in so much pain that he was about to faint from it.
However, Aria had no intention of ending this here. She withdrew the dagger and pierced it toward
Lucas'' heart.
Just as she was feeling somewhat gleeful, she suddenly felt dizzy. Jett had mmed his palm on the
back of her neck.
Aria''s dagger fell to the ground with a ng. She failed to withstand Jett''s attack and ended up spitting
out a glob of blood.
Sherry was curled up in a corner of the basement, trembling from head to toe as she was consumed by
helplessness. However, when she saw Aria get hurt for her sake, she stood forward bravely.

Sherry walked out of the corner. "I''ll go with you. Don''t hurt her!"
Jett was surprised and even somewhat afraid when he witnessed her valiantness. He said with a smile
while waving his hand, "Sure, sure. I''ll stop here as long as you''re willing toe with me."
He was not a man who fulfilled his promises, though. He would kill Aria after taking Sherry with him.
Just as Jett was immersed in his glee, he heard footsteps from outside the basement. In a panic, he
held Sherry hostage.
If Caspian had returned to the vi, Jett would not be able to leave. He had no choice but to hold
Sherry hostage!
However, it was not Caspian who wasing over but Denzel. He was followed by about 30 men who
were all the Massey family''s bodyguards.
Denzel had been hiding with those bodyguards near the vi. He came over to Sherry, asking
respectfully, "How are you, Ms. Lynch? I''m sorry that the guards from the Massey family and I were
Denzel did not conceal his identity from Sherry but insteadid it out clearly.
Sherry said, "I''m fine, Mr. Denzel. You came right on time."
Jett''s face darkened. As Jerry had no intentions of getting on bad terms with the Masseys, he could not
strike directly.
He asked with confusion, "Mr. Denzel, is it? I thought Logan Massey hated Caspian?"
Denzel asked sharply, "Who are you?"
"I''m Jett Dunn, the head of Life Force. I''m here to take Ms. Lynch back to the King''s residence under
Mr. Jerry Andrews'' orders," Jett lied without a hitch.
"That''s bullshit. That wasn''t what you said just now!" Sherry yelled, pointing at Jett.
"You must''ve heard me wrongly just now due to the panic you were experiencing, Ms. Lynch. I told you
I was operating under the King''s orders! Are you trying to go against the King and Mr. Andrews'' orders,
Mr. Denzel?" Jett took two steps toward Denzel.
At the same time, the Massey family''s bodyguards stepped forward.
"If I''m to strike now, who can stop me?" Jett said coldly. He raised his hands, his body exuding
murderous intent. He had no ns to get on bad terms with the Masseys, but he was left with no
choice.
He nned to kill everyone present so that he could take Sherry with him easily.
At this moment, someone said, "You sneak attacked me, you old fox! How unscrupulous! I''m here now
to teach you a lesson!"
Jett froze before noticing that it was Tom, who had just arrived. The blood at the corner of Tom''s lips
had not dried yet as he walked toward him, holding a machete.
Jett was surprised to see Tom here. Tom had taken one of his life force attacks to the chest, and yet he
was still able to stand.
This young man seemed to be incredibly naive, seeing as how he had the courage to walk to his own
death.
Just as Tom approached them, Sammy stepped forward and stood in front of Jett. "He''s just a small fry.
Let me deal with him, Mentor."
Jett nodded and did not object to Sammy''s offer. As the head of Life Force, it was below his standing to
fight against the heavily-injured Tom. He ordered, "Be quick!"
Sammy nodded before walking toward Tom, who was breathingboriously. It was obvious that he was
suffering from internal injuries.
Denzel roared, "You Life Force people are all so shameless! I didn''t expect you to attack a heavily-
injured person!"
The bodyguards stood in front of Tom, surrounding him.
Sherry appeared to be calm, but she was actually feeling somewhat nervous.
Denzel did not know what he should do for a moment. He could not let Sherry be thrust into danger, of
course, but he also could not just watch as Tom died in front of him!
Just as Denzel was feeling conflicted, Tom said, "Don''t worry, Mr. Denzel. I can deal with him."
Tom looked indifferent. Denzel did not know why, but he sensed that Tom had his own methods. Tom''s
gaze was different from that of anyone else.
Of course, if Denzel was asked to pick, he would opt to protect Sherry first.
"Don''t force yourself. If you aren''t confident that you''ll win, you can retreat. I''ll deal with the rest!"
Denzel said.
"If I feared death, I wouldn''t be here, Mr. Denzel. Trust me," Tom said determinedly.
