You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 1845

Chapter 1845 - Friend or Foe

Cloud's face instantly darkened. "Felix? It's you! Vicki, you deceived me!"

No wonder he found it strange. Vicki had always been hostile towards him lately, so why did she suddenly change her tune? It was all a false hope. It suddenly dawned on him that during the meeting, the suspicious black-clad person he suspected must have been Felix in disguise. Vicki recognized him before he did, which was why she called out to him. No wonder!

With these thoughts, Cloud became furious. He abruptly pulled out a remote control from his waist. As he pressed the button, electric currents surged through the electronic locks on Vicki's wrists and ankles, rendering her immobile in an instant.

"Damn it!" Vicki cursed under her breath. How could she forget that she was still under Cloud's control?

As she felt her limbs go out of control and her balance faltering, she was about to fall to the ground. At that moment, Felix reached out his hand, and she naturally fell into his embrace.

Felix whispered into Vicki's ear, "Don't worry, I have a way to disable the electronic devices."

With that, he quietly reached into his pocket, gripping a metal rod and flipping the switch.

Then, he signaled Vicki with a glance.

Vicki subtly moved her wrists and ankles, and indeed, all the electronic locks malfunctioned. However, Cloud was unaware of this.

So, Vicki subtly winked at Felix, indicating that it was okay for now and that they shouldn't make any rash moves.

Cloud, seeing Vicki in Felix's arms, was almost consumed by jealousy. How could he bear to see his beloved woman with another man?

"Vicki, I won't let go. Originally, for the sake of your face, I didn't want to kill Felix. But you forced me. Only after he dies will you give up," Cloud stepped closer, one step at a time. "Now, you can't move. You're well aware that Felix is no match for me. I want you to witness how I kill him. Don't blame me in the future; I gave him several chances to escape. It's his own fault for not cherishing them."

Felix lazily scanned Cloud and shrugged his shoulders. "Do you really think I came alone?"

Cloud sneered, "It doesn't matter. I'll deal with you first. Then, I'll take Vicki and retreat from here. Didn't you hear it just now? I was originally planning to abandon this base. Felix, today is your day of death!"

Felix nonchalantly replied, "If you have the guts, come at me. Stop the nonsense."

"Bring it on!" Cloud drew a dagger and lunged directly at Felix. To avoid harming Vicki, he chose to attack Felix's left side.

But Felix instinctively protected Vicki with his body and searched for a countermeasure.

Just as Cloud's dagger was about to strike Felix, Vicki suddenly launched an unexpected attack from the right, sweeping her leg and kicking the dagger out of Cloud's hand.

With a clang, the sharp metallic sound echoed against the wall before it fell to the ground.

Cloud looked at Vicki in astonishment. "The electronic locks malfunctioned? How is that possible?"

He glared at Felix, demanding, "What method did you use? What kind of high-tech gadget is that?"

Felix twirled the metal rod in his hand in a cool manner before putting it back into his pocket. "Why should I tell you?"

Cloud immediately realized, "Apart from an electromagnetic pulse, no technology can achieve this. The warlord actually has a miniaturized version. It's truly unexpected. No wonder everyone is fighting over it. It lives up to its reputation."

Felix shrugged. "Even if I gave it to you, without the blueprints, you wouldn't be able to replicate it. Instead of wasting time being envious, you should have your people focus on researching technology and avoid engaging in petty thievery and robbery. What's the use of relying on stealing and looting?"

"You bastard!" Cloud, infuriated, threw a punch at Felix.
