It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1130

"It's impossible for you to escape from here even if you resist. If you're a clever man, you would release the hostage first. You may be treated with leniency for that." Daisy stared at the man's gun, looking for an opportunity to shoot him dead while he was negligent.

"Cut the crap. We know what we committed was a capital crime. No matter what we do now, we will only face the death penalty," the gangster said, sneering. Judging from their tense expressions, he assumed that the hostage he took was someone they knew. This could be of advantage to him. The more high-strung the situation was, the more likely it was that they would give themselves over to blind emotion. The soldiers could easily lose their heads, no matter how composed they were normally.

Leena tried her best to stay calm, but the gun was pointed right at her temple. Anyone facing such a situation would be scared, and Leena was just a vulnerable woman. As frightened as she was, she tried her best not to show the slightest hint of panic so that Kevin and Daisy did not grow agitated.

"If only Leena knew how to fight! That way, perhaps she could coordinate with us and get herself out of danger," Kevin murmured. His gaze did not stray from the gangster's movements. Never had he felt as frustrated as he did right now. If a man couldn't even protect his own wife, how could he be worthy of the army badges on his shoulders that celebrated his glory?

"I didn't think of that. Do you mean to shoot him dead with Leena's cooperation? Or are you not confident about it? If you don't kill him with a single shot, there might be terrible consequences." Daisy pondered over the strategy. As opposed to Kevin's suggestion, she thought the safest way for them was to snipe at the criminal when he was being inattentive.

"Yes, you read my mind. So now I'm at a loss," Kevin said as his eyes still locked on Leena. He feared that the gangster would go bananas and accidentally fire his gun.

"Please help her. You must save Mignonne. She's innocent," Gerard pleaded as he shook Kevin's arm violently. He was obviously overwhelmed by this situation.

"Who are you? You know what, never mind. It doesn't matter who you are. Get out of here, right now. You will hinder the rescue." Only then did Kevin take note of the other man. He had no mind to care about this man's identity, as all of his attention was focused on Leena. Only at this moment did he realize how deeply he had fallen for her. Kevin's heart jolted. He let out a harsh breath, promising to himself silently that he would save her. He would not let her leave him.

Unlike Kevin who intimidated Gerard with a stern warning, Daisy just pushed him away without hesitation. She and Kevin only paid attention to Leena, disregarding the other man's presence. Daisy felt flustered. As a soldier, it was unacceptable to make such a big mistake as to completely ignore the fact that there was another citizen right there during the task. As the saying went, more undue concern led to more chaos, and Daisy was too concerned for Leena's safety.

"Listen carefully, you two. Arrange for a helicopter for me that has a full tank. It should be equipped with a pilot. Evacuate all your personnel from this building. I'll give you half an hour to do so. If you fail, I will shoot her in the head." The gangster was aware that the longer he stayed here, the more danger he would be in. He couldn't just stand still and wait for death.
