Chapter 437 The Helicopter Arrives
Toby withdrew his gaze and said, “If this will make him let Sonia go, it’s not out of the question.”
How could you?!
Sonia’s eyes widened, and she stared at Toby in anger. You genuinely want to kill Carl! If he really did that, even if Declan let her go, she would definitely not live. How could she want to live? After all, her life had been exchanged for Carl’s life. Hence, she absolutely would not allow Toby to harm Carl; she would rather have Declan take her away than Carl die.
Naturally, Toby saw Sonia’s anger. His eyes flashed with unhappiness while his heart felt dull. She cares so much about Carl.
“Well? Have you guys discussed it yet?” Declan saw that Toby and Carl were not moving and thus felt a little impatient. Therefore, his hand on Sonia’s neck tightened again. With that, Sonia’s face contorted in pain, and her eyebrows were tightly furrowed together. When Toby saw how much pain she was in, his heart constricted as he roared, “Declan, how dare you hurt her?!”
Then, Carl also stared at Declan with a deadly gaze, as if he wanted to rip Declan into pieces. Declan coldly grunted, “I don’t want to, but you guys sure are taking your sweet time. President Fuller, are you going to do it or not? Of course, Lucius can also kill himself. Anyway, I just want him dead.”
“You are really—” Before Carl could finish, the leader of the bodyguards suddenly stepped forward, looked at Toby and Carl, and opened his mouth to say, “President Fuller, Mr. Lee, why don’t I rush over with my men? We outnumber them, so we can definitely catch them and get Miss Reed back.”
“No!” Toby and Carl rejected this solution at the same time.
Toby explained, “Don’t you realize what is behind Declan? It’s a steep slope. He knew when Carl and you guys appeared that he had lost in terms of manpower, so if they go up directly against us, they will ultimately lose. Therefore, he deliberately brought Sonia there in order to warn and threaten us. If we rush over, he can push Sonia down the slope at any time.”
Otherwise, he would have long ordered these bodyguards to go up and arrest the other party.
The bodyguard captain nodded. “I see. I’m sorry, President Fuller, my judgment was lacking.”
“It’s fine. Most importantly, one of the men under Declan has a gun.” Toby slightly narrowed his eyes as his gaze swept around the waists of several men around Declan, trying to find out the person holding the gun and the location of the gun as well. He knew Declan’s men had a gun because that driver had told him during the traffic jam on the way there. So, that was one of the reasons why he didn’t dare to let his bodyguards rush up to them.
“What do I do now?” The bodyguard had a serious expression. “We can’t keep stalemating like this, right? Besides, Declan doesn’t want to just stay like this; he’s waiting for us to make a move on Mr. Lee, or Mr. Lee to commit suicide. If this takes too long, he might also get annoyed and do something to Miss Reed.”
Upon saying so, he looked at Carl. Carl’s fists clenched, then he slightly turned his face sideways and lowered his voice. “Toby, I can kill myself.”
“What?” Toby raised his eyebrows in slight surprise. “You really want to kill yourself?”
“I will pretend to kill myself.”
Carl lowered his eyes and said in a faint voice, “I can avoid the vital points of my body, then fake my death. After Declan releases Sonia, get your men to go over and arrest them. This solution is okay, right?”
Toby rubbed his fingers together and did not answer, seemingly considering the feasibility. After thinking for about 10 seconds, he nodded slightly. “Let’s do it this way; that’s all we can do.”
