Never Late, Never Away Chapter 920
The kidnapper had enough of the duo being lovey-dovey in front of them. He raised his gun and placed the muzzle right next to Vivian’s head.
He beckoned Finnick to make up his mind. Otherwise, they would soon take Vivian out.
Click. The helpless woman was merely a step away from hell.
Finnick dared not try anything reckless because he couldn’t bear to put Vivian’s life at stake.
It was a risk he couldn’t afford because he couldn’t imagine his life without her.
Once he thought about it, his heart wrenched. In front of everyone, he got down on his knees.
It was the first time he got down on his knees in front of others because apart from his grandfather, never had he groveled himself at others’ mercy.
Finnick felt humiliated, but when he saw the gun by Vivian’s head, he took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
He had nothing to lose by getting down on his knees. Instead, he could save Vivian’s life by casting his dignity aside.
On the other hand, Vivian couldn’t hold back her tears anymore. Although she knew he had given in to the kidnapper’s request to save her, she felt awful because she had never seen the proud man at other’s mercy.
Vivian blamed herself for being careless. Had she exercised caution, they wouldn’t get to take her by surprise and take her into custody.
When she rushed over to Finnick’s side to help him up, he pushed her away and kicked the proud kidnapper in the face before taking over the gun.
Nonetheless, the duo was greatly outnumbered— at least another five of the kidnappers were armed with guns.
Fortunately, Finnick, who was a martial art practitioner, took them by surprise before they could grasp the situation.
Immediately after he took out those who were armed, he brought Vivian away with her and continued accelerating the car for twenty minutes.
He pulled over at the street because the kidnappers seemed to have given up.
