Chapter 716 Living in Pain Forever

When August looked sideways at them, the murderous look in his eyes decreased a little, and he involuntarily slowed

down his actions. One of the thugs took the chance and suddenly kicked the crook of his leg. His body shook slightly, but

he tightened his grip on Ethan's neck. Hearing Ethan grunt in pain, the people around them didn't dare to act rashly

anymore but immediately put on defensive postures and stared at him. Everyone seemed to have been paused, and the

living room fell into an eerie silence again.

Mark said in a threatening voice again, "If you want her to survive, let Ethan go."

When August looked at Lucia, a hesitant expression appeared on his usually cold handsome face.

Lucia looked at him with distress in her eyes and felt a sting in her heart. She hurriedly shook her head and said, "August,

don't believe him! He won't let us go!"

"Shut up!" Mark growled, pressed the sharp knife in his hand against her slender neck, and said, "Release him right

away. Otherwise, I will kill this b*tch."

"August, don't release him!" Lucia said in a begging voice and slowly shook her head, letting the cold and sharp knife

touch her neck again and again.

As Mark pressed the knife harder, the sharp blade reflected a dazzling cold light under the light and slowly cut Lucia's

neck.

Soon, red blood flowed down her collarbone into her clothes, making a striking contrast to her fair skin. And then, her

chest was dyed red.

The coldness in August's eyes grew stronger, but he subconsciously released his grip. After a long time, he finally said in

a cold voice, "Deal. Let her go."

Hearing this, Mark put away the knife. And then, he and August pushed the hostage in their hands toward the other at

the same time.

Lucia was covered in injuries, so she could not exert any strength. After being pushed forward, she couldn't help

staggering and falling to the ground. August immediately stretched out his hand to her. But before he could hold her

into his arms, Ethan kicked her powerless body far away and quickly handcuffed August.

"If you want her to live, you must die," Ethan slowly said in a sinister voice with a ferocious smile.

After he handcuffed August on the chair next to him, he motioned for his subordinates to restrain him. Lucia tried her

best to stand up and then walked toward him with difficulty. Unexpectedly, after she walked a few steps, she suddenly

felt weak in her legs and fell beside the chair. Then, they held their hands tightly together.

This scene hurt Mark's eyes, so he immediately raised his eyebrows to signal the guard to hit her.

After the guard took the order, he stepped forward and began to punch her. Even her bloodless face was hit. So, after a

few blows, one of her cheeks was swollen. But no matter how hard he hit her, Lucia still held August's hand tightly.

She slowly raised her eyes, wiped the blood from the corners of her lips, looked at Mark, and said weakly, "You want to

kill me to avenge Jeanne's death, right? Kill me! Let him go."

Mark couldn't help snorting with deep hatred in his eyes, "If it weren't for you, she would not have died in that kind of

place! I will never let you go!"

"What about him?" She held August's hand tightly and asked softly, "He was Jeanne's beloved man. If you hurt him, she

will not forgive you!"

A look of hesitation flashed across Mark's face when he heard her words. But in a blink of an eye, the hesitation was

replaced by hatred again when he said, "She loved him so much, so I will kill him and let him accompany her."

Then, he loaded the gun in his hand and pointed it between August's eyebrows.

Lucia held to the armrests of the chair to get up, stood in front of August, gasped weakly, and said, "Over my dead

body..."

When Ethan squinted at them, he couldn't help clicking his tongue and mocking, "What a touching love story./t almost

can't bear to separate you."

As he spoke, he pressed Mark's hand in the air down and said with insidiousness and calculations in his eyes, "If we let

Lucia kill August in person, the ending will be more interesting, right?"

Mark gave him a cold look and showed a meaningful smile on his lips. He wished that he could make Lucia live in hell. If

she killed August in person, the scene would be very "pleasing to the eye".

So, he asked in a deep voice, "Ethan, have you come up with any good idea?"

Ethan leaned over and whispered a few words into his ear. After the two exchanged glances, Ethan looked at Lucia and

said, "I will give August a chance to survive. And it depends on your decision."

Looking at the coldness in their eyes, Lucia had a bad feeling, but she still nodded heavily.

Soon, one of their subordinates came out of the utility room and hung an iron plate the size of half a palm in front of

August.

Ethan then said in a gloomy voice, "Guess whether the bullet will hit the iron plate or August's face."

"No!" Lucia immediately refused in a crying voice without even thinking about it.

She had never touched a gun before, so she couldn't accept it. She could not gamble with August's life!

Ethan raised his eyebrows proudly at her and said, "If so, you two can only go to hell together."

August tightly held her little blood-stained hand, looked at her firmly, and said, "Do as they say."

August knew her marksmanship better than anyone else. He knew he would no chance of surviving, but only in this way
