Chapter 366 Holding Darien Hostage


    Grace''s voice was devoid of warmth, making Darien involuntarily shiver. "M-Ms. Lewis, let''s talk


    things out. It''s a bit inappropriate to resort to using knives."


    However, Grace showed no mercy. She cut through his clothes with the small knife and held it


    against his bare skin.


    "Talk about what? Those people who were treated like this by you before, did they have room for


    negotiation?"


    "Release Darien, and we can spare your life," someone shouted at Grace.


    But she sneered and said to Darien, "Tell them to step back, or my hand might slip."


    Knowing that Grace wasn''t joking, Darien sternly said to his men, "What are you still standing there


    for? All of you, step back!"


    The group of men looked at each other. Though they were unwilling, they dared not act recklessly.


    In the end, they could only step back.


    Grace was now very close to Darien, close enough to see the pores on his skin. She squinted her


    eyes, suddenly understanding something.


    "Thest time we met, you used a disguise. This is your true face. Am I right?"


    Darien had never expected Grace to figure it out and expose him.


    He took a deep breath and said, "So what if I did? Ms. Lewis, even if you catch me today or kill me,


    do you think it will be the end of it?


    "You''re thinking too simplistically. Those of us in this line of work make a living on the edge. There


    areyers ofplexity behind this industry.


    "Don''t me me for not reminding you. Don''t mess with people you shouldn''t mess with. When the


    timees …"


    Darien stopped speaking at this point. He didn''t continue, but his words were a threat to Grace, both


    implicitly and explicitly.


    Grace understood that very well.


    But someone had to do this.


    Even if she couldn''tpletely cut off their operations, she had to do her best to prevent them from


    harming more people.

    "Ms. Lewis, what''s the use if you catch me in Pamore? Can Pamore''sws control me? In the end,


    I''ll still be extradited back to Frenda. Can you guarantee that I won''t escape during that time?"


    Grace sneered. "Rest assured. Even if you return to Frenda, you won''t escape legal sanctions. I


    won''t give you any chance to do that."


    Darien shrugged, looking indifferent about how Grace would handle him.


    Just then, footsteps came from outside. One of Darien''s men rushed in to report, but upon seeing


    the scene, he was dumbfounded.


    "D-Darien?"


    Darien asked, "What''s going on?"


    The man quickly reported, "Many nes have arrived outside, and Frenda''s police are here. The


    entire ind is surrounded."


    At his words, Grace looked at Xander. It turned out he had contacted the police in Frenda.


    "Let''s go. There''s no need for us to linger here," Grace said.


    Darien didn''t dare to resist. Grace withdrew her hand, allowing Xander to lead him out.


    Many police officers from Frenda had arrived on the small ind. They had managed to gain control


    over everyone on the ind.


    Finally, Darien was directly arrested and put in handcuffs.


    Before leaving, he turned back to look at Grace and said cryptically, "Ms. Lewis, our game isn''t over


    yet."


    Grace frowned slightly, but Darien just smiled. "We''ll meet again one day."


    Suddenly, Grace had a bad feeling.
