"If you insist," Toby sneered back at Declan.
Only when Declan looked at Carl did he put away the smile on his face, and his expression became one of impatience. "Lucius, what are you still standing there for? Go on!"
“You don't need to rush me. I will naturally do it”, Carl said, then he drew out a dagger from the waist belt of the bodyguard next to him. The dagger's blade was very sharp, and the tip glinted with a cold silver light, making those who saw it shudder.
At that moment, Sonia was deep in despair yet helpless, and unfortunately, she could only watch on with her pupils dilated in complete horror.
Carl, don't! Stop!
Carl smiled at her, then slowly aimed the tip of the knife at his left chest. But just as he was about to stab down on himself, the sound of propellers came from the sky again. This time, the sound was deafening, and there was more than one propeller. The crowd looked up again and saw that not far away in the sky, three helicopters flew over, and painted on the leading helicopter was the word ‘Fuller’, indicating the helicopter's affiliation. It was Toby's helicopter!
Declan was dumbfounded, so it took several seconds for him to come to his senses and look at Toby with eyes wide open. "You also called a helicopter?"
"I can't call a helicopter?" Toby slightly raised his eyes and faintly replied. Due to too much anger, Declan’s hand that was pinching Sonia's neck was shaking. "I got it now. I was lied to. I was lied to from the beginning to the end. From the very beginning, you have no intention to let me go. Even if I let Sonia go and leave here, your helicopter will also immediately catch me."
Toby hooked his lips. "You're pretty clever."
Even Carl was surprised. Apparently, he also did not expect that Toby had called his helicopter. But this was good, as this time Declan and his group would not be able to escape. Looking at Toby's helicopter getting closer and closer and soon going to close in on their helicopter, Declan's men became anxious, and they shouted, "Young Master Declan, quickly! Forget about them first. Release the woman and grab the ladder! We should go now. If we don't go, we really won’t be able to escape. If we want to kill Lucius, we still have plenty of chances later. Now the most important thing is to get out of here first, Young Master Declan!"
Declan knew this, but he was not willing to just leave because it would be beyond challenging the next time he wanted to get Lucius killed. But if he didn't leave, Toby would get him, and if Toby handed him over to Lucius, he was afraid that Lucius would turn around and kill him. So, it was undeniable that his best move there and then was to leave. Although he would end up being retaliated against by Toby, Toby wouldn't get him killed if he didn't get Sonia killed. As long as he didn't die, he would still have a chance.
Thinking of this, Declan gritted his teeth and finally took a deep breath. Next, he threw Sonia toward the side, then jumped upward and grabbed the soft ladder. What Declan didn't expect was that he threw Sonia with a little too much force, and when Sonia fell to the ground, her body rolled backward. With this, she fell down the steep slope.
"Sonia!" Toby's face changed dramatically.
Carl also opened his eyes wide. "Sonia!"
The two dashed toward the edge of the steep slope, and when they reached the edge, their hearts sank when they saw that Sonia was tumbling down below.
"Sonia!" Carl stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to grab Sonia.
However, Sonia was below, rolling down the slope more than thirty feet away. Carl stood on top of the slope, so he was not able to grab her. Just as Carl didn't know what to do and could only watch as Sonia eventually fell off the cliff, he suddenly felt a strong wind whisking by his ears, and then he saw a shadow jumping down. That was Toby! Toby had actually jumped down!
Carl’s pupils dilated as he saw Toby jump down and also roll a distance away. After that, Toby reached out and pulled Sonia's wrist, then pulled Sonia into his arms.
How pathetic! I could not even die for her!
Run! Hurry up and run! I’ll leave Seafield and even leave the country! I can't be caught by the Fuller Family, otherwise I will be as good as dead.
