"It’s fine if you want to die, just let the people go first,” said Julian Shaw coldly with a stiff, upright back.
Julius Jenner couldn't help laughing. "Isn’t it a little lonely for me to die alone? I'm fortunate to have two beauties to accompany me today and I won't be too lonely on my way to hell.”
"Julian, save me." Willa Doyle's heart was racing. She could not refrain from shrieking aloud over and over again.
Her piercing voice sounded just like a saw that hurt one's eardrums.
Julius’s expression changed drastically at once. He gave Willa a slap without any expression.
“Shut up."
Willa shut up in fear.
The world was quiet now.
Julius looked at the shaky Willa then looked at Susan Shelby before he suddenly smirked. "Julian, speaking of which, the majority of the credit of destroying the Dark Night is due to you, you see."
Julius suddenly looked toward Julian with icy coldness permeating from his sharp gaze.
"Yes," acknowledged Julian without the slightest hesitation. "Let them go and you can seek your revenge on me."
"I'm afraid that you won't be in sufficient pain if I were to take revenge on you straight." Julius laughed and suddenly pulled up Susan and Willa. Then, he brought both of them to the cliff with him.
Susan’s considerably calm face turned pale beyond her control.
In this position, Julius would only need to move his hand ever so slightly and she would go tumbling down the cliff.
Susan was still capable of remaining calm with great effort while Willa was already shaking profusely.
"What are you trying to do actually?" Julian could not refrain himself from going forward anymore.
"Don't move, any of you. Anyone who dares to come forward, I'll take them with me to die right away," Julian sneered.
George wanted to seize the opportunity when Julian and Julius were talking to save the hostages in secret originally.
However, Julian shot a cold, stern glance at him and made him stop.
"Tell me your conditions-what do you want in exchange for letting them off?" Julian clenched his teeth.
Julius suddenly cracked into an interested smile upon seeing the tense Julian." Julian, let's play a game. There are two people here—one of them is your wife while the other is pregnant with your child in her belly. I'm very curious. Which one of them is more important to you?"
"What do you mean?"
Julius said, "Out of these two people, you can only choose one. The person that you choose will live while the other will die with me. Alright, I shall give you three minutes to decide now. Is it going to be Susan or Willa? Julian, you can make your decision now. Your decision will decide which one of them gets to live. It's best of you to consider with great caution.”
Upon saying that, Julius's face cracked into a malicious smile.
Julian would decide who gets to live...
Willa screamed aloud frantically as if she was grasping the final life-saving straw. " Save me, Julian. I can die but you can't let anything happen to the child. It's your only son.”
