Chapter 556
Chaos erupted and Vicky stood still, feeling as though someone wrapped their fingers around her heart
as she stared into the ocean.
"Vicky." Alex walked over. "I'm sorry. I messed up again."
She turned around, her face as pale as a ghost under the lights. "Have you sent people to rescue
them?" she asked hoarsely.
"I did." Noticing the pale look on her face, he added, "Don't worry, Vicky. Most of my men are great
swimmers. They're... going to be fine."
Vicky nodded.
Just then, they heard footsteps approaching.
"Mister Torres, bad news!" One of Alex's men hurried over." Our people went down there to rescue
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGloria and Tyler, but they discovered that we've been surrounded. Those people... I don't know when
they boarded the ship, but they have most of our people under control. I managed to escape them
because I spotted them from afar. Mister Torres, hurry up and leave! If Tyler gets to you..."
Alex's expression darkened. "Where are Tyler and Gloria?"
"His men probably rescued them both."
Alex took a deep breath. "Inform the men who haven't been captured to leave right now."
"But...what about you, Mister Torres?"
"Leave me. I have my own plan."
"But..."
"Leave already!" Alex roared.
The man took one last look at Alex and left reluctantly.
Though Alex said that he had a way, what happened had surpassed his expectations. He only sent his
men away to stall and avoid having everyone captured at the same time.
"If you want to leave, use me as a hostage," Vicky said.
"What? How can I possibly do that?"
"You will suffer if Tyler captures you." Vicky glanced at the ocean. "Gloria has probably lost
consciousness. Tyler will surely take Gloria to the hospital first and won't have the time to come after
you in the meantime... This is your only chance to escape."
After a few moments of hesitation, Alex gritted his teeth in determination. "Alright. Let's escape his
range of power for now. We'll discuss what comes next later!"
Vicky did not respond and simply stared at the ocean dazedly.
The red light above the surgery room's door shone brightly and Tyler, who had changed into new
clothes, arrived by the door.
"How is she?" he asked.

jumping off somewhere that high," replied Adam.
Gloria's physique could hardly be compared to Tyler's. Tyler seemed unaffected, but Gloria remained in
a coma. i
"Alright." Tyler was about to say something else when Harry hurried over.
"Mister Tyler, bad news."
The look in Tyler's eyes darkened. "Did Alex get away?"
"Yes." Harry dared not to meet Tyler's eyes. "He...took Missus Hart hostage and ran..."
Tyler's eyes widened. "What?"
'Missus Hart has been...held hostage," Harry repeated gingerly. "We didn't want to risk hurting Missus
Hart, so...we let Alex slip through our fingers."
"Where is Vicky now?"
It was silent for a good few seconds before Harry replied," Alex took her with him."
