Chapter 71: Chapter 71
Ethan Sterling flung the golden blade from his hand, making the black cat tattoo on his wrist appear fierce and wild.
The golden blade flew past everyone and embedded into the center of the dining table, halfway into the wooden surface.
The dignitaries at the table were dumbfounded, relieved that the knife wasn’t aimed at their heads, while Nathan Ayers stood in the dining room, his expression equally stunned, taking a long time to react.
Young Master Sterling... Are you some kind of master face-changer from folklore?
The SUV sped down the street, already pursued by police cars.
Inside the car, the four of them were held at gunpoint, unable to move. Dıscover more novels at nοvelfire.net
Nanny Lynch and Granny Coleman shielded Seraphina Redgrave behind them, wishing they could slap Mia Redgrave twice, kicking her hard whenever the car swerved left and right.
"You little wretch, courting death and yet clinging to our Miss!"
Seraphina Redgrave said nothing, sitting quietly in her place.
Mia Redgrave, held down by the men in black, cried with snot and tears streaming down her face: "Please don’t do anything to me, tell me what you want, I’ll call my dad to send it to you, okay?"
"What do we want?" the leader of the men in black sneered, "A woman of Ethan Sterling, she can exchange for quite a bit, right?"
The ruthless means of Ethan Sterling were known to everyone in the Z nation, and the fact that they dared to make a move showed that they were not timid people.
The police were closely tailing them.
A daring man in black poked his head out from the sunroof and fired a burst at the police car behind them.
The gunshot rang out above their heads, terrifying Mia Redgrave into screams, Seraphina Redgrave found it extremely annoying.
Nanny Lynch and Granny Coleman shielded Seraphina Redgrave tightly, fearing she might suffer any accident.
Seraphina Redgrave remained motionless, her eyes filled with indifference.
After a series of maneuvers, the police gradually fell behind.
Their car went faster and faster, speeding down the highway.
The car drove for a long time, reaching an unknown location, and after all the rapid driving and drifting, Mia Redgrave finally threw up, her face ashen, losing any semblance of a rich young lady.
The car was filled with an unpleasant smell.
Seraphina Redgrave pinched her nose, looking at Mia Redgrave with an expression full of speechlessness.
In the past, she always framed her, throwing her onto Zephyr Isle with calmness, and now, is she afraid just because of a kidnapping?
"Get out of the car!"
The men in black, also feeling disgusted, dragged Mia Redgrave out.
Seraphina Redgrave, Nanny Lynch, and Granny Coleman could not escape their clutch either.
She cooperated very much with the men in black, quietly observing the surroundings along the way.
This was a large open space, the only building being an unfinished building.
It seemed to be an abandoned factory, construction halted for unknown reasons halfway through, with windows and doors all covered up.
This group of men in black was quite clever; there was no high ground nearby, making it a very defensible stronghold.
A man in black gave Seraphina Redgrave a hard shove, while Nanny Lynch cried out in pain: "Don’t push her! Our Miss is..."
The kidnapper impatiently slapped Nanny Lynch hard: "What relationship do you have with me? The only person we want is Ethan Sterling’s woman, the rest won’t leave here alive."
Nanny Lynch and Granny Coleman were gagged before they could even disclose that Seraphina Redgrave was Ethan Sterling’s woman.
Seraphina Redgrave was also gagged, her hands bound.
Granny Coleman cried tears of frustration, unable to make a sound.
"None of them should stay alive, except for Ethan Sterling’s woman."
The leader of the men in black ordered.
At this moment, Mia Redgrave suddenly turned around, her eyes almost glowing with light, staring hard at Seraphina Redgrave as if she were looking at some life-saving medicine.
Seraphina Redgrave saw Mia Redgrave’s expression and naturally knew what she was thinking.
She was Mia Redgrave’s scapegoat, if Seraphina Redgrave died, Mia Redgrave could live.
The men in black led the four upstairs, where there were a few simple rooms.
Mia Redgrave was taken into a room alone, while the other three were led into another room, where a man in black shoved Nanny Lynch hard, causing the remaining two standing to tumble over.
Two men in black walked in behind them, removing their masks, revealing fierce faces with somewhat sinister grins: "Aren’t they just a few women? Don’t use guns, let’s solve this quietly."
The two put down their guns, placed them aside, and pulled out daggers from their waists, slowly approaching them: "You’re unlucky to be caught with that woman; don’t blame us if you become vengeful ghosts wanting revenge."
The dagger in the man in black’s hand gleamed coldly, extremely sharp.
Seraphina Redgrave still showed no expression.
Nanny Lynch and Granny Coleman were crying and shaking their heads frantically, but still shielded Seraphina Redgrave when the men in black approached.
The Miss couldn’t die before them.
"Such deep master-servant affection," sighed the man in black, looking at Seraphina Redgrave behind them, "Oh, no, it looks like your master doesn’t care whether you live or die?"
Seraphina Redgrave knelt on one knee, her hands tied behind her.
In such a life-and-death moment, she didn’t waste time looking at Nanny Lynch and Granny Coleman, only calmly surveying the room’s terrain, the place being too monotonous with just a few wooden boxes piled in the corner.
"Since you want to die, I will grant your wish."
In the next moment, the dagger in the man’s hand rose up.
Seraphina Redgrave suddenly exerted force, bouncing up from the ground, sprinting toward the wooden boxes, almost instantly reaching the highest one, and then using the momentum from her sprint, a sweeping kick straight to the head of the man in black.
The man in black fell heavily, his dagger flying away.
Nanny Lynch and Granny Coleman were stunned.
Was this still their Miss?
Everything happened too quickly; the other man in black didn’t even see it clearly before his companion was on the ground.
The next moment, Seraphina Redgrave leapt again, this time directly toward the dagger, but just as she was about to reach it, she made a rapid spin, perfectly slicing the ropes on her hands with the sharp blade.
Simultaneously, the unstoppable dagger left a long cut on her tender arm, with blood oozing out instantly.
Yet Seraphina Redgrave remained expressionless.
"Call for backup quickly, this woman has skills!"
Shouted the man in black who fell to the ground; Seraphina Redgrave’s kick had landed on his neck, making him unable to move.
Seraphina Redgrave got up once again, her hands now completely free, promptly ripping the tape off her mouth, revealing an arm dripping with blood.
Her bright, clear eyes remained untainted, as if unharmed, and she looked at the still-standing man in black, saying, "All you want is Mia Redgrave, so let us leave, and I can pretend today’s event never happened."
