"Nick, you''re nuts," Raymond yelled. "Put the gun down!"


    "I knew it." Nick''s eyes were filled with pain. "When ites down to the crunch, you always take Micah''s side."


    "He''s right. I shouldn''t have helped you." Raymond''s voice shook with anger. "Put the gun down now and go to the police with Micah."


    "I''m not going!" Nick roared. "I''d rather die than go to jail. How could someone like me end up in jail? Didn''t you say you''d save me? Didn''t you promise to get me out of here? How can a few words from him make you change your mind? I''m your daughter! How can you be so heartless?"


    As Nick shouted, tears streamed down her face. She believed Raymond was herst hope, but now he was abandoning her.


    She couldn''t understand why Raymond was so heartless. She had the samest name, Clemens, and was closer to him than Micah. Why did he treat her like this?


    "Don''t you get it?" Raymond clung to the car door, his voice desperate. "The James family is after you. You can''t escape. Your only chance is to go with Micah and turn yourself in to the police. It''s the only way to save yourself!" Raymond''s words were almost a shout. He was so anxious he nearly fell out of the car. Rn quickly moved to support him.


    "How did Sadie know where I was? Wasn''t it Micah who told her?" Nick didn''t trust Micah at all. "He says he''s taking me to the police, but he''ll hand me over to Sadie in no time. They''re just putting on a show." "You"


    "No more time." Micah didn''t want to waste words. He pointed the gun at Nick. "I''ll count to three. If you don''t let go of Ss, don''t me me for being ruthless!"


    "Come on. We''ll die together." Nick pressed the trigger against Ss''s head. "All of you were trained by Ss. Do you want to watch him die? You''ll be cursed."


    This worked. Rn, Andrew, and almost all the followers were visibly shaken.


    Ss had taken them all in from the orphanage and trained them. Now, with his life on the line, they couldn''t bear it.


    "Nick, stop this madness. Let go of Ss!" Raymond was frantic. Paralyzed in the legs, he could only cling to the car door in panic.


    "Everyone back off!" Nick shouted angrily.


    "Let him go now, or I''ll shoot." Micah put his hand on the trigger. With hisbat experience, he knew it was a matter of who was more ruthless and decisive. Any hesitation would put him at a disadvantage. "Fine." Nick shot Ss in the leg. Ss screamed, nearly copsing.


    "Ss!" The followers cried out.


    Micah saw his chance and aimed at Nick.


    At that moment, Raymond used the car door to knock into Micah.


    Micah''s shot missed.


    With Ss as a hostage, no one dared to act impulsively.


    Nick shoved Ss into Raymond''s car and yelled at the driver, "Drive now!"


    Seeing Nick had taken Ss and Raymond hostage, the driver had no choice but to drive forward.


    "Stop them!" Micahmanded urgently.


    But with Raymond and Ss in the car, no one dared to stop it.


    Nick''s car broke through the encirclement and sped towards the airport.


    "Chase them!" Micah readied himself to lead the chase. Just then, Sadie arrived with her team.
