Willa definitely had luck on her side.
She had only searched for two spots which she suspected and managed to found something unusual in the second one. Hence, she sneaked in carefully. With her extensive experience, it did not take her long before she reached here.
She glanced at Chuck whose face was swollen and bleeding. He was disheveled and unkempt. Her heart could not help but ache terribly at the sight of him.
How long had he been tortured? How many punches and kicks had he endured?
She glared at Levi, her eyes sparkling with fierceness, "Let go of him!"
Chuck was deeply moved by Willa's appearance. Despite the long distance, she came all the way from Central City to here in search for him.
Surprised, Chuck thought that he was daydreaming. He called out weakly, "Auntie Logan..."
Willa entered the room and consoled with her unusually soothing voice, "Don't worry. I'll bring you out of here soon."
Willa's comforting voice sounded like a surreal dream to him.
"Keep on dreaming! You're not the person I am waiting for! Leave now or I will kill you!" Levi was smoldering with fury.
He was anticipating Karen's arrival at the room just now with much eagerness. He had outlined a plan in his mind, which was to order Karen to stab her own self with a knife the moment she stepped into this room.
This was the safest way to kill her. Otherwise, with Karen's strength, she might have turned the table around in an unexpected way.
Her strength would be greatly reduced if she was ordered to injure herself. This would give Levi the upper hand to slaughter her.
On top of that, Levi had even imagined the ways to torment Karen, to make her kneel before him and bow to him.
Willa's unexpected appearance, however, ruined all his plans.
He wished to take Willa's life right away, but he knew who she was.
He was aware that Willa's strength was fairly close to Karen's, therefore, it was going to be very difficult for him to kill her. In truth, both of them would very likely end up being severely injured if a fight were to break out between them.
Levi did not intend to make the situation more complicated as it already was.
He bellowed, "Didn't you hear me? Leave now!"
Willa repeated slowly, emphasizing every single word, "Let go of him!"
A thought crossed Levi's mind, "Hmph! Well, since you're here, perhaps we can have some fun first before Karen comes. You can help to kill my boredom."
It was definitely not easy for Willa to find her way here. Besides, she came here alone. All these suggested that Willa cared about Chuck very much.
Levi recalled that Karen had a very close relationship with Willa. He remembered clearly that Willa always addressed Karen as Sister Karen.
"What do you want?" Raw anger surged through Chuck.
He saw the vicious smirk on Levi as he took out a dagger and threw it to Willa.
"Come on. You know what I mean, don't you?" Levi sneered at her.
Willa looked at the dagger on the ground.
"Are you acting dumb? It's simple. If you want me to let him go, stab yourself three times, and I'll let him go," Levi said insidiously.
"What's wrong? You're not doing it? That's easy. Get out of here and out of my sight immediately," the old man continued.
Willa remained silent. She crouched down and picked up the dagger.
"No. Auntie Logan, no," Chuck struggled against his shackles. He felt so useless that Auntie Logan was going to hurt herself to save his skin.
At the same time, he hated Levi to the core. How could he hurt Auntie Logan?
Chuck was struggling like a wild beast, he couldn't let it happen!
"You're afraid, aren't you?" Levi continued to jeer at the woman.
Then, Willa grabbed the dagger and pointed it at herself. Chuck shrieked in a frenzied voice, "Auntie Logan, Auntie Logan, don't do this. He won't let me go. I'm locked in chains, and there's a bomb fixed on me. He won't..."
Boom!
Levi gave Chuck a forceful kick. Chuck spat out some blood and was totally drained of energy. But he still cried out, "Auntie Logan, don't!"
"Stop! Don't touch him! Don't touch him!" Willa's eyes went red and her gentle voice was growing hoarse.
Levi sneered, "Sure. Three stabs, and I'll let him go. What do you think? It's only three stabs, how easy! Let's start!"
