Chapter 35
1066 Words
In a rundown wooden shack on the desolate northern outskirts of the city, Natalia was dressed in a gray outfit, her face full of arrogance.
As soon as she entered, she saw Ariya tied up on the ground.
"Ms. Davies, as per your request, we've brought the person here", a man sitting and drinking tea said indifferently when he saw her enter. "I'll give Talon half an hour. If he cares about this woman, the time should be sufficient. After half an hour, the contract with Tina will belong to you."
Natalia's face showed no emotion as she walked over to Ariya and tore off her blindfold.
Ariya felt a sharp pain in her eyes. When she saw that the person in front of her was Natalia, a look of disbelief flashed in her eyes. She struggled as if she wanted to speak.
"Mrs. Storm, you seem to have something to say?" Natalia sneered and tore the tape off her mouth.
"Natalia, why is it you?" Ariya finally found her voice, disbelief still written across her face. "We're part of the same group, and your father is a shareholder. What harm does it do to you if I get this contract? Let me go, and I won't hold you accountable for your actions. Otherwise, once my husband reports this to the police, it'll be too late for you!"
Natalia sneered. "Don't worry. Your worthless husband won't dare report this, and even if he does, you'll be dead before the cops get here. Ariya, weren't you so arrogant at the banquet today?"
Natalia grabbed her chin, forcing her to look into her eyes.
"Didn't Tina like the military knife you gave her more than my diamond necklace? Why don't you let Tina come and save you?"
Natalia's voice grew louder. "I've never been denied anything I wanted. No one dares to challenge me, except you—you were the only exception!"
She added. "Do you think I've spent the past few years just studying? Let me tell you, I've made connections with many big shots in the underworld, just to use them in future business competitions. The man in front of you is the leader of the Viper. If you don't believe it, ask him how many lives he's taken, or how much blood has stained his hands."
"Ms. Davies, don't scare her too much," Dexter Wood chuckled, looking at the scene with great interest. "Ariya, after your husband hands over the contract, he will die along with you. I heard you have a daughter? Don't worry, not a single one will be left behind. She'll soon be there to join you. Hahaha!"
"No! You can't touch my daughter—she's everything to me!" Ariya went mad, trying to stand up from the chair, screaming with all her might. "I can give you the contract with Miss Tina. Ms. Davies, I beg you, let Maisy go, let her go! For her, I'm willing to do anything!"
"Anything?" Natalia laughed evilly and glanced at Dexter. "Don't you want to try this woman out?"
"Haha, I thought this woman was off-limits!" Dexter's eyes lit up as he fumbled with his belt. "Then I won't hold back!"
"What are you going to do?" Ariya looked at Dexter, now only in his underwear, in horror.
"Of course, to let you experience the pleasures of being a woman!" Dexter said as he took step after step toward Ariya.
"I was worried I might kill the wrong person, but now I see that dealing with scum like you, death is the only option." At this moment, a cold voice suddenly came from outside the door, followed by the door being pushed open. Talon stood there, bloodthirsty.
"Talon!" Ariya trembled all over when she saw Talon. He really came, and it hadn't even been half an hour yet.
But Ariya didn't have time to think too much. She hurriedly said, "Talon, they're targeting Maisy! Go back and keep the kid safe. Don't sweat it about me!"
Talon looked at Ariya, her face full of pleading, and smiled, "Don't worry, Maisy is safe with Nightwing, but everyone here tonight will die."
"Ha! Just you? A useless drifter?" Natalia sneered disdainfully. She had so many people here; how could she fear Talon alone? "I can tell you, the main reason I brought Ariya here was for Tina's contract. Hand it over, and I might consider letting her go!"
"You mean this?" Talon took out the contract and handed it over to Natalia without even looking at it.
Natalia was obviously surprised by how smoothly things went. She paused before taking the contract.
Seeing Tina's signature, a triumphant grin spread across Natalia's face. "Haha, this is great! With this contract, Yuvi Group is mine, hahaha!"
"You've got the contract now, can you let her go?" Talon frowned, as Natalia didn't seem to have any intention of letting her go.
Natalia looked at Talon as if he were an i***t, her face full of deep mockery. "Talon, I thought you were smart, but I didn't expect you to be so brainless. I went through so much trouble to get this contract. Do you think I'd easily let Ariya go and let her continue to block my path? Today, both you will die here. Afterward, I'll go kill your daughter!"
"With these losers?" Talon smiled faintly.
When Natalia said she was going to hurt his daughter, she was already a dead woman.
"Damn, you're pretty arrogant, huh!?" Dexter was displeased.
He had already taken off his pants, but Talon appeared halfway through. If he didn't vent this anger, wouldn't he go crazy?
"You guys, go grab him!" Dexter ordered his men viciously. "Don't kill him; leave him breathing. Let him watch as I play with his woman. Now, that's exciting!"
"Oh? A live show? Then I must take a look," Natalia said, laughing.
"Honey, I'm coming…" Dexter grinned lewdly, reaching out to grab Ariya.
In a flash, the men attacking Talon felt a sudden gust of wind, and in the blink of an eye, he vanished from his spot. He appeared like a demon in front of Ariya.
Just as Dexter's hand was about to touch Ariya, Talon suddenly extended his right hand and grabbed his throat.
His voice was icy and unnerving, like it came straight from hell. "The second you made that choice, your time started ticking."
