Chapter 685 That Must Be True Love
Madame Rose was not intimidated by Luke because she thought that she had the advantage innumbers.
She did not expect that Luke would be brazen enough to take her as a hostage.
"Let go of him, Matthew! Otherwise, none of you will survive!" Kassy pointed her gun at Luke's head.
Her hand was shaking. Evidently, she was conflicted.
She knew of Madame Rose's cruelty better than anyone else. Luke and his followers might beformidable, but they were already seriously injured, and they were not going to be able to successfullyescape the heavily-defended island.
"If I'm not going to survive this, I don't mind taking all of you down with me! " Luke said coldly.
"Heh, you ignorant brat, you won't leave here alive even if you kill me," Madame Rose said brazenly.
"If that's the case, all of you can die!" Luke smirked coldly and tightened his vice-like grip on MadameRose's neck. Her eyes were beginning to glaze over.
Madame Rose coughed, and her face turned red.
Even so, she yelled at Kassy, "Kassy, kill... kill that b*stard... quick..."
Luke bashed Madame Rose's face in with the butt of his pistol.
Several teeth fell out of Madame Rose's mouth. Blood flowed freely, and she gasped in pain.
That angered her even more. "Quick, Kassy, kill... kill him..."
Luke placed Madame Rose in front of his body. He was using her as his meat shield.
If the mercenaries opened fire, Madame Rose would be riddled with bullet holes.
Kassy aimed her gun at Luke and hesitated.
She hated Luke for his betrayal, but at the same time, she did not want to hurt him.
The mercenaries dared not act rashly and waited for Kassy's command.
Luke aimed his pistol firmly on Madame Rose's temple and commanded her, "Tell your people to backoff, Madame Rose!"
He knew Madame Rose's personality very well. She might have caused the deaths of so many peopleon the island, but she was afraid of dying.
Madame Rose gritted her teeth, waved at her mercenaries, and wheezed through her missing frontteeth, "Efferyone, shtand back... and let them go..."
The mercenaries who surrounded them took several steps back and opened up a path for them.
Luke brought Madame Rose to the middle of the hangar.
A helicopter was parked there.
"Get on," Luke signaled to Gale and the others.
The three people got into the helicopter in a single file.
Gale went into the cockpit while Rain and Thunder guarded the entrance with assault rifles, aimingthem at the mercenaries.
"Get on the helicopter, Boss!" Thunder shouted at Luke.novelbin
Every second they stayed on the island decreased their chances of success. No one knew what wouldhappen in the next moment.
Moreover, they had a traitor among them.
Luke tugged Madame Rose and took step by step up the helicopter.
Just as they were about to succeed, Madame Rose suddenly struggled violently and fired a razor-thinsilver thread from the sapphire ring on her finger toward Luke's eye.
Luke was caught by surprise. He dodged the thread in the nick of time, aimed his pistol at MadameRose's ear, and fired a shot.
Madame Rose yelped in agony. Her ear was sliced off, and blood flowed freely. She was about to passout from the pain.
She roared at her mercenaries, "Kill this ingrate! Kill them all..."
Luke's gaze turned cold. He quickly got into the helicopter, blew Madame Rose's brains out with abullet, and kicked her out of the helicopter before her eyes were closed.
"Let's go!" Luke had gotten into the cabin when he saw a grenade flying toward him.
"Leave without me, Boss!" Thunder pounced toward the grenade and absorbed the impact with hisbody. Instantly, he was blown into pieces.
"Thunder!" Luke's mind instantly went blank. However, it was not the time to mourn. He quickly closedthe door and ordered, "Let's go!"
The helicopter rose into the air.
Countless bullets fired toward the helicopter, but it was already too late.
Kassy's gaze turned cold as she watched the helicopter disappear into the night sky.
'Heh, do you think you can run away, Matthew?'
The Norman residence.
Bianca was about to leave for Moscow.
That morning, Queenie prepared all of Bianca's favorite dishes for breakfast.
Bianca had not rested well for the past few days because she was gathering information on WayneBlatt. The results were disappointing. The man was too mysterious, and she could not find anything onhim. That made her very frustrated.
Bianca got up very early and saw her mother working busily in the kitchen while her father washed thevegetables at the sink. They were a loving couple.
She envied her parents. They had been through so much over the years, but they were loving towardeach other like newlyweds.
The stern and influential politician in public was so pliant and docile in front of his wife, willing to listento whatever she said.
They had been married for more than twenty years, but Queenie looked young. When Bianca andQueenie stood together, they were often mistaken for sisters.
Bianca knew that her mother enjoyed a blissful marriage. Jack Norman pampered her and never let herdown.
She envied that marriage, and she wished that her marriage would be like that too.
Unfortunately for her, she did not even know the whereabouts of her husband.
In the kitchen.
Jack tasted the soup and frowned. "I think it's a little too light. I wonder if our daughter would like it."
Queenie tasted the soup too. Then, she smiled at her husband. "It's your first time making soup for ourdaughter. No matter the taste, Bianca would appreciate what you've done for her. She's a sensible andempathic girl."
Jack grinned sheepishly. "Mm. I never knew that it's so difficult to cook. You should teach me how tocook sometime so that I can cook for you after I retire."
Queenie rolled her eyes at Jack. "Don't worry about it. I’d rather not get poisoned!"
Bianca felt envious when she saw that exchange. Perhaps that was what true love looked like.
She was about to step into the kitchen when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest that made herdouble over...
