Port.
"Can we go now?" Julian carried Susan as he looked at Joseph and Mr. Samael icily.
Susan struggled, as if protesting something, but she gave up on feeding herself these days and depended o n the nutrient drips. Her struggle was lethargic.
Serenity sneered, "Julian Shaw, are you sure you want to take me along? I'll make sure to kill you once I'm given the chance to come close to you."
"You can try." Julian glanced at her impatiently. "Your father and brother were killed because of me. If you want to die, I don't mind adding another life to my count.”
"You..." Furious, Serenity breathed in deeply and said," Julian Shaw, you better not end up in my hands."
Julian scoffed and ignored her, turning his gaze to Joseph and Mr. Samael. "Are you letting us go or not?"
"Sure." Mr. Samael chuckled. "The 'King' says to release you, so of course we’ll have to do that. The boat is ready. It’ll depart soon to send you guys away. I just need you guys to wait for a bit."
"For?" Julian frowned.
"For the ultimate result, of course." Mr. Samael smiled. "We've taken Susan’s blood in advance and sent it out for a DNA test with the corpses' body samples. We’ll get the result this morning. When it's out and their relationship is confirmed, you guys can leave."
"Test?" Julian widened his eyes. “Isn't that unnecessary?"
"Perhaps," Mr. Samael smiled. "Better to be safe than sorry. Why else would we set a three-day limit if not to wait for the test result? The DNA test for the dead is relatively complicated. Three days is already the fastest we could get."
As he spoke, he checked his watch. "Don't worry though, the lab men will call in another ten minutes and tell us the result. Once it's verified, you guys can leave."
Not expecting the plight before they left, Serenity kept her eyes on Mr. Samael’s phone, involuntarily looking nervous.
"You seem to be anxious..." Joseph suddenly said with a glance at her.
Serenity eyed him coldly. "Of course I am! I hope they're not my father and brother when the result comes out."
Joseph merely smirked without saying anything.
The boat that was sending Julian and the girls off was parked at the port. The stairs were already put down too. More than a dozen men were busying about in the boat. These men were Joseph’s. They would send Julian and his people to the designated place.
"The test result wouldn't be wrong. Let us sit in the boat first," Julian huffed impatiently.
Thinking that it was all their men in the boat, Mr. Samael nodded to approve it.
"Let's go." Carrying Susan, Julian went straight to it. Serenity followed.
Just as their feet were on the boat's steps, Mr. Samael’s phone suddenly rang. He could not help chuckling. "A few minutes early."
He answered the call with a grin but whatever spoken on the other end of the line put a quick morph on Mr. Samael’s face.
"Quick!” Julian's tone was deep as he charged into the boat while carrying Susan. Serenity tailed him closely.
"Catch them and bring them back!" Mr. Samael shouted.
Narrowing his eyes, Joseph ordered at once, "Catch them!”
Serenity was distressed.
They were on the boat now, but these were all Joseph's men. They still would not be able to escape! Just as the thought fleeted past her head, she suddenly saw a side face that looked quite familiar. Despite her doubt, the boat began to move.
