The man's brow was furrowed and his face was unpleasant, and he gave Wyon a vicious glare before he looked at Ruby.
"It's not your turn to ask me questions now, when you should know, you will be told."
At that, Ruby sneered instantly, and her voice grew colder and colder.
"It's not my turn to ask you questions? Then what do you want? Just make me stand here and wait?" As she spoke, she said sharply, "Who are you to make me wait for you here? Even Benjamin is just a fool who lost to me, you are just one of his dogs, and you want to show off your power in front of me?”
The man was scolded by her, and his face turned abruptly pale.
"What do you think you are then? You're just a turtle in a jar! I warn you, I still have your daughter in my hands! Behave or I will not be kind to her!"
He had thought that this threat would work, but instead, when Ruby heard it, the air pressure around her plummeted to an extreme low.
"Don't you dare touch her!" From some distance away, her eyes were like sharp arrows, shooting viciously towards the man.
For some reason, the man's body chilled at her glance, and cold sweat even broke out on his back, and he was inexplicably weak.
Just as the atmosphere froze to a standstill, a burly man walked in, with something in his hand, and walked briskly up to the man, leaning close to his ear and muttering something in a whisper.
The man sniffed and immediately took what was in his hand, his eyes narrowing.
Ruby paid attention to the two men's every move, and her eyes lingered on that bag, a flash of thought passing through her eyes.
At the same time, she was mentally calculating the time that Josie and the others would arrive.
She thought she would be able to hold out a little longer, but to her surprise, the man's demeanour returned to his previous condescension, and there was a glint of determination in his eyes.
He let out a sneer from his throat, then clapped hands.
Immediately after a few rounds of applause, several strong men came from all around and wrapped Ruby firmly in them.
The man stood outside the circle, watching the scene with cold eyes, and opened his mouth slowly and deliberately.
"Miss Harold, in fact, you know very well that we arrested your daughter to lure you out, and since you have come, we will follow the regulations."
Ruby's heart sank, and she had a vague feeling of a bad premonition.
With her nerves taut and no expression on her face at all, she asked, "What's the regulations?"
The man smiled, "Naturally, I cannot tell you, but if you want to save your daughter, then there is only one way to do it, just let us arrest you."
Well, that was not her style.
At that moment, she lifted her chin slightly and looked arrogant: "Since you are Benjamin's man, you should have learned from Benjamin that it is not an easy task to catch me and make me give in obediently, and I can say in no uncertain terms that even if you all join together today, you may not be able to get an advantage from me!"
At these words, Ruby's blood seemed to freeze as her pupils steeply tightened and her face suddenly turned white.
The man admired her blush good-naturedly and continued slowly.
"You are very clever, but so what? Mr. Benjamin is even smarter, he expected that your people would go to save you, so in order to avoid letting this happen, he simply solved it in advance at the beginning. He sent a few inconspicuous people, pretending to be beggars to hang around, and took the opportunity to make a deployment, after you left Jin Yuan, he directly set fire to the place. I just heard that none of these people escaped, they were all buried in the fire long ago. "
All of a sudden, hatred blazed in her heart, and the thought of her people being murdered made her blood rush to the top of her head.
The corners of her eyes gathered red blood, very scarlet, and her teeth were on the verge of being gritted, the hand hanging at her side squeezed tightly into a fist, the tips of her fingers stabbing into her palm.
At this moment, she really felt an urge to kill these people!
As if sensing her intentions, the man slowly passed a glance upstairs.
The two burly men upstairs received his sight and finally got up, tugging Olivia down the stairs and stopping a few paces outside the enclosure.
Then the burly men surrounding them had the good sense to move aside and put Olivia at the other end of the access road.
Mother and daughter were looking at each other from a distance, and Ruby could clearly see the watery and fearful look in the little girl's eyes, as well as the strength and stubbornness that tried to control her fear.
"The image of mother-daughter love is always touching, but Miss Harold, for the sake of your daughter, shouldn't you take the initiative to make a sacrifice?"
