Throwing Mia to the ground, William shouted at the empty warehouse, “Peter Costar, you come out to me!”
After a while, there was a sharp cry from the compartment on the second floor, “William, help me!”
“Sophia!” William squeezed his hand and became very anxious. Except for his always cold expression, Mia saw him like this for the first time.
After a while, Sophia’s face appeared on the second floor, and behind her stood the man with long scars on his face who nearly took Mia by force last time. Mia’s eyes were sparkling, and she didn't understand what was going on.
Peter Costar stood there, the black muzzle aimed at Sophia’s head, pointing and pushing the bullet up.
“What are you going to do!” William roared anxiously, staring at Sophia with both eyes, distressed for a while, “Sophia isn’t well, let her go!”
“Oh ho-ho, the cold William Brown is finally anxious, the first time I saw it, thrilling!” Costar laughed strangely, but the voice was even more strange. After laughing, Costar gritted his teeth and roared, “William Brown, you dare to take Peter Costar’s woman, do you think Peter Costar is incompetent?”
William stepped forward, lifted Mia up and placed her in front of his chest, “Costar, I have brought what you want! Now let Sophia go!”
What he wants.
Is it her?
Upstairs Costar looked at her and Sophia’s faces back and forth and laughed again, “Come on, William, two women look similar, you can take any of them. Why this woman must be traded? Add three streets, don’t be cheap.”
“Sophia!” William didn’t listen to the Costar’s words, just calling Sophia’s name nervously.
“William,” Sophia’s voice was faint, her pale little face lifted up. Her body was shaking, and tears were running down her eyes. “William, I'm afraid!”
“Quickly let Sophia go, this is what you want!” A stack of papers was stuffed into her chest, and she was pushed to Costar like garbage. Mia finally understood that she was here to be exchanged for the woman he loved.
What is she? An item that can be sent and discarded? She looked at William angrily, he had already embraced Sophia, comforting her. His cold eyes were gone, and he was full of tenderness...
“Go!” She was put in front of Peter Costar. Taking the papers from her chest, Costar put his arms around her and opened them, “You see, the transfer book of the three busiest streets in the city. There is also a beautiful woman, who’s worth changing for William Brown’s wife!”
William Brown’s wife is valuable, isn’t she?
Mia watched how William was holding Sophia in his arms like a treasure, and they were retreating towards the door.
Why, why!
The tears in her eyes didn’t slide down, the bone-stirring hatred filled her body, and the humiliation aroused anger. She turned her head and saw Costar’s gun hanging in his fingers casually! Without thinking about it, she grabbed it directly and shouted out with all her strength, “William Brown, go to hell!”
Closed her eyes, pressed hard...
Buh!
The world was silent, and the loud sound shook her ears.
“Sophia!” A huge roar filled the air, and her body was picked up tightly, and the voice came out, “Don't go too fast!”
Then came gunshots, shouts, footsteps...
What is this place? Devastation was everywhere, and countless twisted fragments scattered all over the ground. The dazzling drops of blood were clearly visible on the fragments, one drop, two drops, more and more, and finally it was a small pool of blood! A man’s head was shrugged over the pool of blood, and the blood was dripping from the top of his head. He was trapped in a car that was already broken and smelled like death.
There were bodies in the distance, not clearly visible, only white pieces of cloth waving like a woman's skirt. The crying was far and then near, the warehouse was desolate. Her heart filled with pain and two tears silently rolled down.
This scene was in her memory and appeared in dreams countless times. The horror of the images and the sobs shocked her soul, and every time she dreamed, she would cry, as if she had experienced it herself.
Was this related to her life before the age of ten? Unfortunately, she couldn’t remember anything.
Tears rolled more and more. Mia opened her eyes, and an enlarged strange face appeared in front of her dimly.
Saying this face was strange, but the only strange thing was the elongated and weird scar on it. It was clearly a handsome man, but the scar just pulled out a brutal and vicious look.
“Peter Costar?” She stretched her body nervously, and the bad memories of the past came back to her. Mia got up angrily and looked at him guardedly. Costar opened his lips and laughed, the long scar flashed a weird beam, like a twisted centipede, “You really can!” He made a gun gesture and pronounced, “Bah!”
Mia was frightened for a while, and Costar’s smile made her even more scared. The memory came up. She remembered that she took his gun and pressed the trigger at William. That shot...
