Chapter 564 Take the Risk
Ezra was fine; after all, he had strong backing. As long as he didn't complain about Noah beating him
up and Tristen didn't sell him out, this matter could be settled.
But if Tristen insisted on telling them Ezra got him the weapon, he would be screwed. Mr. Gillian would
also implicate.
Fortunately, Ezra had no idea what was going on. He yelled at the bodyguards to get him some boiled
eggs to rub on his bruises.
Tristen was not as lucky as Ezra. He was stopped by the man in black when he was running away.
“What made you stop me? If I get arrested, it never ends well for all of you.”
"We just follow orders. We are not afraid of the cops.” The man in black was fearless.
"You f*cking kidnapped a kid. You still think you're a hero!" Tristen couldn't hold back the swearing
because he had faintly heard a police siren.
“Then we have to make amends.” The man in black summoned his subordinates for a head-to-head
battle. Both sides had roughly equal numbers of men, and the fight seemed to be a draw.
If this dragged on, no doubt he would end up in the hands of the cops.
Tristen hesitated. He then aimed the gun at the man in black and pulled the safety.
"Come on, boss, it’s now or never!” exclaimed one of his underlings, lunging forwards and grabbing his
hand. They pulled the trigger.
Tristen was in panic and moved his hand quickly. The bullet barely missed the ear of the man in black.
If he hadn’t reacted quickly, the man in black would have died.
“Are you f*cking trying to kill me?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt wasn’t his first time killing someone. However, murdering people in front of many witnesses would
make it difficult for him to hang around Imperia. He would never do anything that stupid.
"Boss, let's go!" his underlings yelled, ignoring his rebuke and escorting him out of there
The man in black tried to stop him, but Tristen’s underling grabbed his weapon and tossed it to the man
in black.
Tristen felt enervated when his underling pulled the trigger. He was speechless while the underlings
escorted him.
And his underlings took him inside the apartment rather than outside. He didn't expect that his
underlings could be such wild n’ out
"Boss, take a break. Watch what we can do for you!" His underlings assisted him in sitting down on the
sofa in the lobby.
With a wave of the hand, ten well-trained underlings lined-up with backpacks. They put on clown masks
and took weapons from bags, shooting at the people in the lobby.
Not only was Tristen shocked by this operation but also surprised Madeline and Thomas that tried to
escape from the chaotic situation.
A voice came from the loudspeaker, "Boogie night, let's get high together! Don't run outside. The yard
is full of landmines. You're dead meat if you're not careful."
Noah’s voice also came from Madeline’s earphones, “Don’t move.”
"Don't come in. I'll find a way out with Thomas." Madeline stopped Noah from coming in to save them
for fear of risking his life.
“Don’t worry. I’m right outside. The cops are in place. Special forces are on their way.” Noah wanted to
rush inside and bring them out, but the cops stopped him. He knew that they were waiting for him to
take the bait. He would be the target as soon as they saw him.
Not only was Noah unable to rescue Madeline but drag her into danger.
The apartment was full of the sound of successive shots, a time of crying and wailing, making the
apartment like a purgatory on earth.
“It’s Trenton's underlings. I just saw that he seems to be held hostage by them. I don't know if it's his
intention." Madeline reminded.
"Good, the experts are locating the buried mines. You follow my guide later; I will meet you outside."
Noah's eyes were glued to the screen, not daring to slacken.
There was a sudden boom.
The place not far from Madeline blew up. A staff member of the apartment stepped on a mine while
fleeing.
Two more blasts followed. Neither was too far from Madeline's location, which should have been
caused by people trying to escape.
"How are you guys? Is everything fine?" Noah clutched his cell phone, couldn't wait any longer, and
asked the cops to dispatch immediately to clear out the terrorists.
But the cops were still waiting for instructions from the superior.
It was a while before Madeline's voice came from the phone, "We are fine. You must not be impulsive."
"Mr. Quincy, the identity of the terrorists is confirmed. It's a group of cult members. Their weapons are
provided by foreign forces. It is a matter of great importance. I'm afraid it's not something you and I can
decide." The cops officer handed the tablet to Noah, on which detailed information about the identity of
each terrorist was recorded.
The details of the cult organization were recorded as well.
“Thomas, listen carefully. Learn this song and sing it when you encounter danger.” Noah transmitted an
audio clip to Thomas, a cult hymn.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlthough Thomas was nervous, he felt he was a man and had to take responsibility for protecting his
mommy, so he replied forcefully, "Don't worry, dad, I will protect mommy!”
“Good boy. When you come back, dad will buy you the latest chip.
This time the loudspeakers aired another announcement, “Madeline, we know you’re still at the
apartment. Please bring the children to the hotel lobby immediately. The life of these people in the
apartment depends on you.”
“No!” Noah immediately protested.
Madeline hugged Thomas tightly and did not answer.
Then she saw a pregnant woman being pushed towards a window by a man in a clown mask and killed
without hesitation,
“I'll count to ten. If you don't show up, we will blow up the first floor."
“Don’t go! Madeline, I order you not to go out!” Noah roared in his headset.
But the cops cut off his signal and didn’t allow him to contact Madeline.
“What do you want? Let my wife and son die?” Noah grabbed a man’s collar and raised his hand to
punch him. But he was stopped by Wayne.
"Mr. Quincy, please calm down. We will save your wife and child."
Noah couldn’t calm down. He stormed out with Wayne and Lex and entered the apartment through the
glass stacks of the adjoining building as if they were unfazed by death.
Madeline removed her stealth cloak before the clown pushed the second victim to the window and
stepped out. They soon pointed the guns directly at her.
Good thing she prepared in advance. Before they fired, she rolled silver thread over herself and
Thomas and flew into a large tree.
"High-voltage electricity was placed on the hotel fence. You can't go out yet. Follow the route I gave
you. First, go into the apartment. Mr. Quincy went inside.” Jacob said nervously.
Madeline’s heart was pounding. Noah finally came to get them. Even though he knew they were after
him, he still took the risk.
