Facade of Love Novel novel Chapter 439

Kenneth looked at me, squinted his eyes, and a smile appeared on his rough and scarred face. "Little girl, I regarded you as a guest and wanted to treat you kindly. How come you don't know how to show gratitude and instead hold my people hostage, hmm?"

I pressed the gun against Lucas' body a bit more and said, "Don't play those dumb tricks with me. I'll say it again: let us go, or I'll kill him."

Kenneth's face darkened, and there was a twitch on the corners of his cruel mouth. He stopped smiling and replied, "Alright, go ahead. Kill him. Let's see if his life is worth more than all of yours."

"Dad, no!" Yara panicked, clutching Kenneth's arm tightly. She looked nervously at Lucas, who had maintained his cold and silent expression. She pleaded with Kenneth, "Charlie can't die."

Kenneth seemed to have a deep affection for his daughter. Seeing her tears, he showed a hint of helplessness on his previously fierce face. He patted her hand to comfort her.

He looked at me and said, "Little girl, why escalate this situation? You came as guests. If you don't want to be guests in my mountains anymore, then just leave. But please, don't harm my people."

I glanced at Idris, who had remained silent. I knew he was armed, and at this point, there was no point in talking nonsense. I said, "We're taking Mr. Kobe's body and leaving."

Gregory's men acted quickly, carrying Kobe on their backs, and we left the electric fence.

The others followed us out of the electric fence, but Idris remained by my side, seemingly not intending to leave. Seeing this, I grew anxious and looked at him. "Hurry, go."

He walked over to me, grasping my hand that was holding the gun. His voice was low and restrained. "You go first."

I was taken aback, yet understood his intention. After hesitating for a few seconds, I handed him the gun.

Once we were out of the electric fence, Lucas was also brought out. Seeing this, Yara became frantic and shouted, "Where are you taking Charlie? Leave him."

As she shouted, she followed us out, and Kenneth followed suit.

The forest was dense with trees and rocks, making it easier to hide once we were out of the electric fence.

If Kenneth's people continued pursuing us, it would be challenging to escape. Thinking about this, I had intended to threaten Lucas to make his people stop chasing us.

However, just as I was about to speak, I suddenly heard a gunshot. That was when I saw Lucas and Idris grappling with each other, and the dark gun fell to the side.
