Kevin sighed deeply. 'Even if I count Luke and his men in, we are still understaffed. The police are still on their way. Oh, God bless us. Please don't let Jessica and Mary meet Hero.' Kevin had put his major security at work on the ambulance in which Daisy was being treated. He was thus, left with no extra men to track down Jessica and Mary. Furthermore, it wouldn't be appropriate to conduct an inch-by-inch search. They were under a fear of ambush and had no idea from where the gangsters might appear all of a sudden. Luckily, they parked their cars in places that were hard to find.
Just as Justin expected, Hero did come back. Though he was aware of some anomalies, he had to come back for Daisy. So, instead of breaking in directly, he sneaked undetected into the house. He was shocked when he saw Jessica and Mary there. He was glad he saw them first. Thank goodness! He could hold the two women as hostages to make his rivals compromise with him. "Cousin Hero, please, take me away." Jessica grabbed Hero's hands forcibly as soon as she met him. She literally abandoned her pride now.
"Relax, Jessica! I came here to pick you up. But who did this to you two? What happened?" Hero wanted to fully understand the situation. He was wondering if he had any chance of winning the upcoming fight.
"Nobody but that bitch Daisy. Someday I will bring her down myself." People like Jessica were rare. She immediately forgot all her pain when she saw the little hope of escaping. Though she was still in danger, she got a little carried away. Now, she wanted to take revenge on Daisy along with Hero.
"Do you really think you still have a chance to hurt Colonel?" Kevin Gu said grimly, pointing his gun at Hero who was standing next to Jessica. Bad luck, Jessica and Mary met Hero.
"But, I have a chance." Hero moved so quickly. He immediately grabbed Jessica in front of him. Jessica was nothing but a pawn for him. It would be a shame if he didn't use her now.
"I thought you are her cousin, right? Why are you so cruel to her?" Kevin couldn't believe Hero could hold Jessica in front of him to take a bullet for him. Now, Kevin was hesitant. He didn't know if he should shoot or not. Yes, Jessica was a bad woman. But Kevin was a Major General, a solider. He couldn't shoot at Hero if it meant risking the life of another person.
"I can betray my own blood brother to save my life. She is only my cousin. She means nothing to me." Hero sneered, putting his gun on Jessica. At the same time, his men moved and held Mary as hostage.
"Oh, Cousin Hero, are you kidding?" Jessica couldn't believe the fact that she was held hostage by Hero. When his gun pointed at her, she shook with fear. When Edward caught her, she was scared but with Hero pointing his gun at her she was in extreme fright.
"Please help me!. .... Please, don't kill me, I will never.... run away…" Mary begged for mercy. She was not any better than Jessica. She trembled with fear. She felt great regret for running away. If she didn't listen to Jessica's suggestion, she wouldn't be held hostage like that.
"Okay, you win. Let them go. Do you think, it is right for a hero to hold two women as hostages?" Kevin kept pointing his gun at Hero. He was surprised when he saw so many men following Hero. Surprisingly, they all looked tough.
"Not everyone is alike. As for me, I can do everything to stay alive." Hero seemed unconcerned about any possible snipers. He had pre-planned everything before coming in the house. Even if the worst of the worst happened, both the sides would lose. Since there was an army of men following him, he had every chance to win. If he was accompanied by the guys who kidnapped Daisy, he would have been dead by now.
