Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 1862

Chapter 1862: Sending You Westward

Seren's eyes darkened, filled with a devouring glare. He detested when things went beyond his planned scope. It made him feel extremely displeased, and now he needed a ruthless release.

Felix continued to provoke him, "If you truly want to obtain this huge sum of money, first you need to give me a computer. I have to use my iris to open the network key settings and then cancel the key. Only then can you use the key to open the vault. Otherwise, this secret vault will be as impenetrable as a stone in the sea, and no one will be able to get the money inside."

Seren never expected that the vault would be tied to Felix's life. In this case, he couldn't kill Felix because he needed that large sum of money.

His eyes narrowed almost into a straight line, revealing a fierce glint.

He turned and ordered the black-clad person next to him, "Go and fetch a laptop. Felix, right in front of me, delete the iris system for me now."

Felix sneered, "Do you think I'm that foolish? Shouldn't we exchange conditions?"

"What conditions?" Seren asked through gritted teeth. At this point, he had to take a step back.

After all, everything was still within his control, and he didn't need to worry too much.

"Release all the hostages here, including Vicki, my father, my elder brother, Bride, Westbrook, and Carlo," Felix calmly proposed his conditions. He pointed to the detained Saunders in the hall, and his gaze finally settled on Vicki. At this moment, he no longer cared about himself; he just hoped that Vicki and his family would be safe. As for the rest, it didn't matter anymore.

"Hahaha!" Seren burst into a long, terrifying laughter, "Do you think I'm a fool? If I release all the people here, what guarantee do I have that you'll delete the iris system? Do you think I don't know? Your people, Mr. Ball's people, and the helpers you brought along, they are all surrounding us outside. They won't be fewer than my people. If a conflict breaks out, I might not be able to leave unscathed. As for something without bargaining chips, do you think I would do it? Felix, you are truly naive!"

Felix frowned, constantly clenching his fingers, contemplating what to do.

Unexpectedly, Vicki suddenly spoke up, "Let the others go, I'll stay. I am enough on my own. Can't I, alone, be worth more than all the hostages here?"

"Vicki!!" Felix couldn't help but shout. He had put in so much effort, even willing to hand over the key to the vault. The person he most wanted to save, the person he cared about the most, of course, was her. But now Vicki was saying this? She wanted to stay?

With a pregnant belly, she still wanted to stay?! Was she insane?

Didn't she know? She was his Achilles' heel. As long as she was in Seren's hands, he had no room to maneuver. He had already made up his mind that no matter what, he would exchange the network key for Vicki's safety. As for the bloody battle that would follow, it wouldn't affect Vicki.

Vicki pursed her lips and said to Seren, "Don't hesitate. Do you want things to escalate further? Attract the authorities and send in the military to suppress it? No one will benefit from that."

Seren furrowed his brow and pondered. Indeed, as long as Vicki was still in his hands, that was the most important bargaining chip. As for the others, they didn't matter.

"Fine, let's do it this way." Seren waved his hand, gesturing to the black-clad people below, "Prepare to release the hostages and take all these people outside the door."

"Wait. Release Westbrook too, but blindfold him when he comes out," Vicki said calmly, pointing at Westbrook among the detained individuals in the hall. "After all, he's just a child. Don't let him see his mother's condition."

"Heh, you're quite considerate," Seren sneered coldly. "Vicki, you truly live up to your name. You possess both capability and compassion, which makes you worthy of being my woman."
