You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther)

Chapter 1862: Sending You Westward

Chapter 1862: Sending You Westward

Seren's eyes darkened, filled with a devouring glare. He detested when things went beyond his

planned scope. It made him feel extremely displeased, and now he needed a ruthless release.

Felix continued to provoke him, "If you truly want to obtain this huge sum of money, first you need to

give me a computer. I have to use my iris to open the network key settings and then cancel the key.

Only then can you use the key to open the vault. Otherwise, this secret vault will be as impenetrable as

a stone in the sea, and no one will be able to get the money inside."

Seren never expected that the vault would be tied to Felix's life. In this case, he couldn't kill Felix

because he needed that large sum of money.

His eyes narrowed almost into a straight line, revealing a fierce glint.

He turned and ordered the black-clad person next to him, "Go and fetch a laptop. Felix, right in front of

me, delete the iris system for me now."

Felix sneered, "Do you think I'm that foolish? Shouldn't we exchange conditions?"

"What conditions?" Seren asked through gritted teeth. At this point, he had to take a step back.

After all, everything was still within his control, and he didn't need to worry too much.

"Release all the hostages here, including Vicki, my father, my elder brother, Bride, Westbrook, and

Carlo," Felix calmly proposed his conditions. He pointed to the detained Saunders in the hall, and his

gaze finally settled on Vicki. At this moment, he no longer cared about himself; he just hoped that Vicki

and his family would be safe. As for the rest, it didn't matter anymore.

"Hahaha!" Seren burst into a long, terrifying laughter, "Do you think I'm a fool? If I release all the people

here, what guarantee do I have that you'll delete the iris system? Do you think I don't know? Your

people, Mr. Ball's people, and the helpers you brought along, they are all surrounding us outside. They

won't be fewer than my people. If a conflict breaks out, I might not be able to leave unscathed. As for

something without bargaining chips, do you think I would do it? Felix, you are truly naive!"

Felix frowned, constantly clenching his fingers, contemplating what to do.

Unexpectedly, Vicki suddenly spoke up, "Let the others go, I'll stay. I am enough on my own. Can't I,

alone, be worth more than all the hostages here?"

"Vicki!!" Felix couldn't help but shout. He had put in so much effort, even willing to hand over the key to

the vault. The person he most wanted to save, the person he cared about the most, of course, was her.

But now Vicki was saying this? She wanted to stay?

With a pregnant belly, she still wanted to stay?! Was she insane?

Didn't she know? She was his Achilles' heel. As long as she was in Seren's hands, he had no room to

maneuver. He had already made up his mind that no matter what, he would exchange the network key

for Vicki's safety. As for the bloody battle that would follow, it wouldn't affect Vicki.

Vicki pursed her lips and said to Seren, "Don't hesitate. Do you want things to escalate further? Attract

the authorities and send in the military to suppress it? No one will benefit from that."

Seren furrowed his brow and pondered. Indeed, as long as Vicki was still in his hands, that was the

most important bargaining chip. As for the others, they didn't matter.

"Fine, let's do it this way." Seren waved his hand, gesturing to the black-clad people below, "Prepare to

release the hostages and take all these people outside the door."

"Wait. Release Westbrook too, but blindfold him when he comes out," Vicki said calmly, pointing at

Westbrook among the detained individuals in the hall. "After all, he's just a child. Don't let him see his

mother's condition."

"Heh, you're quite considerate," Seren sneered coldly. "Vicki, you truly live up to your name. You

possess both capability and compassion, which makes you worthy of being my woman."

Vicki didn't respond.

Felix's gaze had been following Vicki all along, filled with concern. Although he knew Vicki was not one

to shy away from danger, he still hoped she would consider her own safety, at least for now.

Luther activated his communication device on his collar. "Mr. Ball, Seren is releasing the hostages now.

You wait outside and take them away from the Saunders residence to a safe place. Inform mewhen

they're secure."

"Understood!" Mr. Ball replied through the communicator.

In a short while, the black-clad individuals dragged the unconscious Johnie, Reese, and Bride, who

could only cry silently, out of the hall. Carlo followed, and finally, Westbrook, who had a blindfold over

his eyes.

Westbrook kicked his feet, shouting, "Let me go! Let me go! You're all bad people! I want to save my This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

dad! I want to save my dad!"

The "dad" he referred to was naturally Reese.

This was the first time Felix saw the mature side of Westbrook. Although his biological parents weren't

good people, children still had the potential for growth. That's why Felix insisted on saving Westbrook

as well. Given Seren's depravity, he had no emotional attachment to Westbrook. It was possible that

after all this, Seren might kill Westbrook directly, or at the very least, the likelihood of him being tortured

to death was high.

Seren coldly observed this scene. "Felix, you truly have an overflowing sympathy. You even want to

protect my son. How ridiculous."

Felix couldn't be bothered to deal with Seren. After all, it was a matter of someone's life.

Once all the hostages were evacuated, Seren placed the laptop on a small coffee table and kicked it

towards Felix. "Your demands have been met. Now delete the iris system immediately."

Felix hesitated for a moment but then stepped forward. He opened the laptop and began logging into

the website of an overseas bank.

At that moment, Joyce and Darrin, who were on top of the spire, were closely monitoring the situation

below.

"Darrin, we don't know what conditions they exchanged, but everyone else is safe now. Only Vicki

remains under Seren's control," Joyce shifted her position. "Unfortunately, Seren is blocked by a pillar,

and I can't aim at him."

Darrin replied, "I can't get a clear shot either. What should we do, Commander?"

"Wait a little longer. At least the target range has narrowed now. Let's not focus on Seren for the time

being. Do you see the three black-clad individuals on the left? When I give the signal, I'll take care of

those three, and you handle the two on the right. We have to be quick, resolve it within three seconds,"

Joyce instructed.

"No problem. I'm capable of that," Darrin responded.

They continued to hide on the platform of the spire, waiting for the right moment.

Inside the hall, Felix had successfully logged into the website and was now preparing to unlock the

network key with his own iris. Luther had been standing behind Felix the whole time.

Seren stared intently at everything, his gaze falling on the pendant hanging from Felix's chest. He

wondered, wouldn't Felix have the key with him? Perhaps it was hidden somewhere, like in the

pendant?

Why wait? Once Felix unlocked the iris, he could send Felix westward with a single blow. He could

press the delete key himself. Wouldn't that be the best option?
