Luna felt as if she was doused with ice-cold water.
Gwen grabbed her hand, her voice filled with anxiety.
"Luna, w-why don't you...head down to have a look? Joshua doesn't look like he was joking. Ben..."
Luna looked at Gwen, but her voice sounded as if it came from another dimension.
She had thought of how Joshua might get angry at her for escaping, but she never would have thought that...
That he would be so extreme.
He hired the biggest gangs in Sea City and put a bounty on her. Then, he came to Gwen's house and threatened her with Ben's life.
Why was he so angry that she escaped last night? Was he so angry that he had to spend so much effort to get her back?
Luna bit her lips harshly.
After a while, she composed herself and grabbed Gwen’s hand with her other hand.
"Don't worry. I'll..."
She looked at the reflection of herself on the glass in the corridor. Her hair was in a mess.
"I’ll clean up and head down. Go down for now, and
tell Joshua that I'll see him immediately. Ask him not t o do anything rash to Ben."
Gwen bit her lip as she looked up at Luna, her eyes filled with worries. "Will you be alright if he captures you?"
"I'll be fine." Luna smiled. "He’s only doing this for Alice. He won't do anything to me. Don't worry."
Gwen took a deep breath when she heard Luna's answers. She turned and headed downstairs.
After she left, Luna carefully walked to the railings and sneakily peeped at the situation downstairs.
The living room was in dead silence.
The men in black seemed to have blocked all the light i n the living room.
Joshua sat arrogantly on the sofa, emperor-like as he leaned back. His movements were languid while his eyes were cold and domineering.
In front of him was Ben, forced to the ground by a few men in black as he knelt.
