Chapter 767
Ordinarily, the lights in the villa should be turned on at this hour. The two wondered just why the lights were off
instead and thought about the possibility that there wasn't anyone in the villa at the moment.
The two made eye contact with one another and noticed that they were both worried about the situation as they
wondered just what had happened there. Silently, they sneaked into the quiet room and went up to the second
floor.
Then, they heard Ellen begging from the door. "Please, let me go..."
Something did happen, Jewel thought as she felt her heart sink in an instant. She made eye contact with Alex
before quieting her footsteps. As an assassin, she had a certain degree of acuity. With her eyes locked on the room,
she swiftly made her way to the door and placed her ear against the door to listen to the conversation.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtInside, a man's voice said viciously, "Cut the crap and write. Write that you are now at peace with your revenge
achieved, so there's nothing tying you to life. Say that with your brother's reconciliation and Eugene having his own
family, you have nothing to worry about anymore, so you'll be taking your leave first."
Another man added, "Casper, can someone even fall to their death from the second floor?"
The man called Casper said, "You really think that she'll fall to her death? We only need to make it seem like it. After
all, she was supposed to be dead for a long time now. She's only been living on borrowed time all these years’"
Then, two loud slapping sounds rang out and Casper yelled, "Hurry up and write it! What are you looking at?"
"Stop it, don't hit me. Ah-" Ellen cried out in pain.
Outside the door, Jewel couldn't hold herself back any longer. With ferocity in her eyes, she kicked the door wide
open which resulted in a loud bang. With the door flung open, the men inside were frightened as they turned their
heads to the door.
"What? Who is it?"
With a darkened expression, Jewel entered and found that there were around eight large men dressed in the
clothes of the bodyguards of Promise Island. Each of them was holding some sort of weapon—some were staves,
while some were knives. Is this treason or are they pretending to be someone from Promise Island?
Held at knifepoint, Ellen was at the table with a pen with several men standing menacingly behind her. Upon
noticing it was Jewel, she yelled, "Jewel, don't come here. Leave, quickly leave."
However, there wasn't a chance in a million that Jewel would leave her behind. Feeling sorry for her, she shouted at
Ellen, "Godmother, don't worry." Then, she turned her attention toward the group of men, her eyes filled with killing
intent. "Release her."
The men looked at each other before they all laughed out loud.
"A lone woman who can't even speak well wants to rescue someone? Since you came to die, then don't blame us
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfor what happens now. You all, go and tie her up."
Just as Jewel wanted to rush over to them and take the first move, Casper held his knife closer to Ellen's neck and
said, "It's best if you don't move around so carelessly. Otherwise, I will make sure this woman dies before your very
eyes."
Jewel froze on the spot as she was unable to take action.
When several men were about to go over to her to tie her up, Alex entered the room as well after he sent a
message to Eugene. Not only were they clever enough to go over Promise Island's defense, but they even found
their way to the villa for their assassination target. It was clear that they were no ordinary men. Not only that, but
Ellen was in their hands right now, so he knew that just the two of them were not a match for these people. Thus,
he quickly asked Eugene to send them reinforcement.
"Hold it right there! Just who are you people? Do you know who this person is?" he questioned in an authoritative
tone, the look in his eyes piercing.
