"He didn't come. You can make other requests." The captain tried his best to talk to him. On the one hand, he wanted to distract him. On the other hand, he wanted to stall for time.
"He didn't come?" Owen's eyes were full of hatred. He exerted a little strength in his hand, and Alivia's white and tender neck was immediately cut open and bleeding. "His woman is in my hands. If you want her to live, let Bert come to see me!"
"If you let go of her now, maybe you can..."
"Cut the crap!" Before the captain could finish, Owen interrupted him violently. "Don't talk nonsense with me. I want to see Bert!"
He had just killed Jack and Matthew. Even if he let go of Alivia now, he would be sentenced to death. At this point, he had no way back. All he could think about was to see Bert and get revenge!
The captain didn't let Bert come up with them this time. He should be outside the perimeter of the alert line at the foot of the mountain. That man was not someone easily controlled. If he got involved, things would spiral out of control.
If he was here, perhaps Owen had already passed away.
"Let go of the hostage. I can take you to the foot of the mountain to see him."
"Hahahaha..." Hearing this, Owen suddenly laughed, but the next second, he burst into curses. "Do you think I'm a fool? If I let her go and go down with you, won't I be killed by Bert?"
Just as the captain was pondering how to communicate further with Owen, the small walkie-talkie he carried suddenly buzzed. Unlike the common ones used outside, this one had a very lightweight design, and only he could hear the sound from it.
A man's deep and gloomy voice came from the headset.
"Put it on speaker. Let Owen hear her daughter's voice."
The captain frowned as his gaze remained fixed on Owen's face.
He didn't think it was a good idea. However, in the current situation, any persuasion seemed unnecessary.
He had no choice but to empty one hand, quickly throw the small walkie-talkie on the ground, and turn on the speaker at the same time.
"Daddy, Daddy, where are you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Alivia stared fixedly at the walkie-talkie on the ground. Her heart was pounding rapidly, and after a few seconds of silence, she heard the person on the other end agree, "Okay."
No!
How could this be?
Alivia shook her head. She could not let Bert replace her, absolutely not!
After hearing the response, Owen seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. However, it was at that moment that Alivia noticed the sniper directly in front of her. She didn't know where she found the courage, but she boldly slammed her shoulder backward with force.
Behind Owen was a cliff, and he immediately steadied himself and pulled her back. However, Alivia's eyes were filled with rage, and she fiercely slammed into him again...
The captain just watched the two disappear in front of him. The wind blew, the grass on the cliff swayed, and everything returned to calm.
