Both Kurt and Stefan froze when they heard this.They exchanged glances, both unable to believe their ears.After a brief pause, Stefan was the first to regain his composure. He smirked and asked, "How interesting. I didn't know that woman had an ex-husband.""That's not the worst part!" Diablo was eager to share more. "That woman is a slut! At one point, she was raped by multiple people at once…"With that, Diablo leered and added, "That's the reason her husband divorced her; he thought she was too impure for him after that incident."I don't even know what's gotten into Luke's head. I can't believe how stupid he was to fall for a slut like her and even sacrificed himself for her sake… What a pity."You know, I wouldn't feel so bad for him if that woman decided to turn over a new leaf after his death, but this morning, when Boss sent his men over, she was in the middle of doing unspeakable things with her ex-husband in their old home…"As he said this, Diablo sighed. "I can't b
Diablo was so unhinged by this that he did not even dare to pant.He knew Stefan meant business; the tip of the cold blade against his neck proved it. Stefan could easily slit his throat with one wrong word!At the thought of this, Diablo bit his lip and met Stefan's gaze. "Hey, pal, let's talk this over like civilized men…""Where's Gwen?" Stefan asked coldly, narrowing his eyes."I…I don't know!" At this point, Diablo was so scared that he felt he could burst into tears. "All I know is that she's being brought to Sharnwick City today… Judging from the time, I'm guessing they must be arriving now… As for the rest…I have no idea what's going to happen to her. Boss told me that they'd contact me tomorrow…""Is that true?" Suspicions, Stefan raised his eyebrows.Diablo felt that he was going to pee himself soon. "I'm telling the truth, bro! You can stab me all you want, but I swear I'm telling the truth!"Seeing that he was adamant, Stefan furrowed his brow and moved his knife awa
Kurt shook his head and chuckled as he pulled his sleeves up. "I'm just a little excited. It's been a while since I last saw you in action."With that, he glanced out the window, then down at the GPS on his phone. "We must be arriving soon, aren't we?"Stefan nodded, then instructed Kurt to park the car they had stolen from Diablo at the side of the street before trudging into the hotel. The hotel was, in fact, just a disguised brothel.The moment they stepped out of the car, they could hear the chilling screams of a woman wailing in agony. At that moment, Stefan could feel his heart leap into his throat.Without another moment's hesitation, he sprinted toward the room where the sounds were coming from.A tall, burly man stood guard at the door. When he spotted Stefan and Kurt, he immediately stopped them. "What the hell do you think you're doing?"Stefan glanced at the man with a frown, then without hesitation, cocked his fist and punched him.The man did not see this comin
"No…"Although the woman was dazed and groggy, she could make out what was happening and knew someone had come to save her.She lifted her head to glance at the man who rescued her.She thought it would be Ben, or some other man she had slept with recently.The moment Stefan stormed in, she decided to turn over a new leaf and was even willing to marry the man who saved her.But…When she lifted her head to glance at him, all she saw was a man wearing a mask. The only thing she could make out was his sharp, chiseled jawline.Although she could not see what he truly looked like, she could tell that he was a handsome man, even with his mask on.Not only was he handsome, but he was courageous and single-handedly rescued her from the despicable men who captured her."Who are you?" Stefan furrowed his brows, his eyes etched with shock. "Where's Gwen?"The woman's heart sank at this.That explained why he was here.He was here for Gwen!"She's Gwen…" whimpered one of the men cowe
Stefan furrowed his brow upon hearing this.A split second later, he covered the woman's naked body with the sheets and turned to glance at Kurt. "Take her away."Kurt nodded, then picked the woman up with the sheets wrapped around her."I'm sorry, but we can't allow you to take her away." A few men finally plucked up the courage to stand up to Stefan. "We're under orders to protect her, and if we don't keep a good eye on her and that old geezer, Tyson will kill us!"The rest of the men snapped to their senses when they heard this.Even if this woman was not Gwen, Tyson ordered them to escort her to her prison cell where she would be kept with Andy. If they allowed her to be taken away, Tyson would be furious!At the thought of this, the men began surrounding Stefan and Kurt.Kurt furrowed his brow and whispered, "Boss…"He knew that although he and Stefan possessed weapons, they were still no match for a room full of men. They were clearly overpowered, and no amount of weapons
Everyone fell silent when they heard this.They were all terrified of Tyson because he was a ruthless man who would stop at nothing to get what he wanted.Luke, however, was different. Back when he was in charge, he treated everybody with respect, even the lowly ones.If they were to choose…they would no doubt choose to serve Luke!"Boss." All of a sudden, a man who had been silent all this while stood up and strode over to Luke, then bowed. "Ever since you left, we were all forced to serve Tyson. If you're willing to come back, I'm sure all of us will change alliances. None of us want to live like worms for the rest of our lives."With that, he lifted his head to stare earnestly at Luke. "Are you willing to come back?"Luke smiled. "Live like worms? Are you talking about the way you treated this lady just because Tyson ordered you to? If I hadn't shown up just in time, you all would've continued abusing her, thinking she was Gwen, right?"Even before knowing my identity, none o
Gwen told Stefan her address with a puzzled look on her face. "What's wrong?""Wait for me. I'll be there soon." With that, Stefan hung up and sprinted back to the car.Kurt paused then followed suit, still carrying the woman in his arms. He flung the car door open before Stefan could even start the engine. "Boss, you were drinking just now. I think it'd be better if I drove."Stefan furrowed his brow, suddenly remembering that he had drunk a few cans of beer with Diablo when he tried to find out where they kept 'Gwen'.He was so anxious about finding Gwen as soon as possible that he forgot about this.At the thought of this, Stefan sighed and got out of the car, then slid into the front passenger seat.Kurt opened the door and placed the woman into the backseat. "Hold on tight. I'll be driving very fast."With that, he plopped into the driver's seat and started the car, stepping on the gas so abruptly that the woman in the backseat slid right out of the seat!She finally under
When Stefan stormed into the lift lobby, all the lifts were occupied on the 40th floor. Gwen, on the other hand, stayed on the 11th floor.When he saw the numbers above the lift, Stefan swiftly turned and sprinted toward the stairwell.He wanted to see Gwen as soon as possible!When he first heard of Gwen's capture from Diablo and subsequent fate, he risked everything he knew to find her immediately. When he saw those men in the room with her, he almost lost himself to rage, thinking it was Gwen they were assaulting.Even though he was relieved to find out they had gotten the wrong woman, he still wanted to find Gwen as soon as possible.He knew that if Ben and that wretched woman had not been messing around in the villa that morning…Gwen would have really been caught!Stefan had never once felt such fear—fear that he would fail to protect her and lose her once more.He did not feel an ounce of fear when Kate suggested he sacrifice his life in exchange for Gwen's. He knew that t
