Chapter 1870: Buying Time
Felix desperately shook Vicki, questioning her loudly.
At this moment, Luther gave a signal to Mr. Ball.
Seren was dead, and now was the best tto take control of the situation.
Mr. Ball understood and immediately had his men surround the area, quickly subduing all the men in black.
Vicki was almost dizzy from Felix's shaking.
"Stop shaking me. I'll throw up if you keep doing that!" Vicki muttered lowly. Being pregnant made her uncomfortable, constantly
feeling nauseous. Felix's shaking made her even more uncomfortable, causing her to retch repeatedly.
She pushed Felix away, leaning to the side, feeling waves of nausea. Since she hadn't eaten anything, she couldn't vomit, only
feeling the discomfort of dry heaves.
Felix quickly soothed her by gently patting her back, helping her relax.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Should we go to the hospital?"
"No, don't touch me. | won't feel uncomfortable if you don't touch me!" Vicki waved her arm backward, pushing Felix away. Any
kind of touch would only make her feel worse. She had been enduring it to hide her pregnancy, but now she couldn't bear it any
longer.
Meanwhile, Cloud stood by, looking down at the two people embracing each other on the ground. Suddenly, he felt like an outsider
with no connection to them. Even though he still held a gun in his hand, capable of threatening them at any moment, they didn't
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtacknowledge his existence. They acted as if he was insignificant, one angry and the other complaining, just like a normal couple
should be. And he was the one who was unnecessary.
After Mr. Ball and Luther had their men control the surroundings, they quietly approached Cloud.
As Mr. Ball was about to approach Cloud from behind, trying to subdue him from an advantageous angle, Cloud contorted his body
into an almost impossible position, evading Mr. Ball's attack.
Immediately after, Cloud pulled out his gun and aimed it at the back of Felix's head.
Mr. Ball dared not move anymore, muttering under his breath, "Impressive evasion, Cloud. | underestimated you. Don't act rashly.
Let's have a good discussion. Look around you, Seren is dead, Seren's people and the ones you brought with you are all under our
control. The helicopter has also been grounded and controlled by us. You alone can't handle so many of us. How about we talk
about the terms?"
Cloud coldly glanced at Mr. Ball but didn't say anything.
Mr. Ball cleared his throat and continued persuading, "Since you killed Seren yourself, it means we might not be enemies, right?
Put down your gun, and let's talk."
Although Felix had a gun pointed at the back of his head, he remained calm instead of panicking.
Even with a gun against him, he slowly turned his head, fearlessly exposing his forehead to the muzzle. He looked at Cloud, his
words clear as he spoke, "Thank you."
He genuinely thanked Cloud because at a critical moment, he had changed sides, killed Seren, and saved Vicki. Otherwise, Vicki
would have perished along with Seren.
Regardless of Cloud's motives, Vicki was safe, and Suzuki Toshi wouldn't harm her. Felix was satisfied.
Cloud didn't expect Felix to thank him. He was momentarily stunned, and even the gun in his hand moved slightly. He coldly said,
"I didn't save you. Why thank me? Can't you see that I'm about to kill you now?"
Felix chuckled softly, "Thank you for saving Vicki. As for what you want to do with me, | don't care. Go ahead and do it."
After speaking, he turned around and embraced Vicki from behind, holding her tightly. He spoke with warmth, one word at a time,
"Vicki, don't do anything foolish anymore. Put your life first. Remember to eat on tevery day, and protect our child."
Cloud's expression changed. He didn't know about Vicki's pregnancy before, as she had kept it a secret. He had discovered it when
he secretly infiltrated and heard the subordinates discussing it when Seren ordered them to bring the female subordinate. He
never imagined that they already had a child.
After Vicki had finished retching, she felt much better. Upon hearing Felix's words from behind, it felt like a farewell.
She becinstantly annoyed, "What nonsense are you talking about? Shut up!"
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Cloud pointing the gun at Felix, and she instantly understood.
At this moment, Luther stepped forward cautiously and spoke, "Cloud, no, should | call you Rayan?"
Cloud paused, his expression tense, and didn't answer.
Luther continued, "Rayan, Seren and Athena cooperated. Athena providedaddresses and secret passage routes to help Seren
kidnap Vicki. You were probably unaware of this, right? Including today, when Athena sent people to assist Seren, it was all kept
