NovelEnglish"Go on, then!" Hayden interrupted Nick and pulled out a small remote control from his pocket, before showing it to them. "We can all die together! At least I won't be lonely." Edward's eyes widened as he stared at Hayden's hand.
Nick's and Ted's eyes grew wide, and they stared at Hayden.
"Wh- What is that?!" Ted had a bad feeling about it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"What does that control?" Nick asked.
Elliot, too, could not help but ask, "Hayden, what is that?" The other three turned to stare at Elliot when they heard his question. Elliot did not seem to know what Hayden was holding despite the two of them being on the sside.
"This controls surface-to-surface missiles. I bought three missiles," Hayden said.
Nick, Edward, and Ted all remained quiet.
"You bought it from the Ylore military force?" Elliot asked thoughtfully.
"Yes! They sold them tobecause I paid them enough," Hayden said confidently before turning to look at Edward. "Your house is on Locust Road, right? I've looked into it and your entire family lives there. Say one more word to pissoff and I'll press this button so that you can have a taste of what it's like to lose your family." Edward shivered and clamped his lips shut.
"Your family-" Hayden turned to look at Ted.
Before Hayden could finish, Ted instantly started shaking his head. "I won't say anything! Not another word!" Nick chuckled sheepishly. "Let's eat! The food is getting cold." "Where is Ivy?" Hayden refused to let him change the topic. His intention had been clear from the start: to protect Elliot and to find Ivy.

"Neither do I! Nick, do you know anything?" Ted directed his attention to Nick.
"Juliet had bought Ivy, but I'm sure you know that by now," Nick said while staring into Elliot's eyes. "Juliet's untimely death didn't give us any chance to get that information from her." Nick did not know where Ivy was either.
Since all cards were on the table, Elliot did not feel the need to beat around the bushes. "You knew that Ivy is my daughter, so why did you bring the Goulds down? Were you going to kill Ivy, too?" Elliot asked, his voice as sharp as a knife.
"You didn't like Ivy at the time! Killing her would have been a good thing for you and Avery. You two even got divorced over that kid!" Ted said sincerely. "We didn't know that tvy was very's! Had we known, we wouldn't have laid a finger e her! All we wanted was the Gould family's money, not to be resented by you!" "Elliot, there's no way that we could have known that you and Avery were the parents. We would have gotten her out of there if we had known ahead of time," Nick explained. The child is still alive right now. We just don't know where she is hidden." "Elliot, since the situation has escalated to this point, we are definitely going to help with finding Ivy," Edward said. "Let us have peace..." "Spit every single penny you took from the Goulds out." Elliot did not want to let the matter go.
"We will find Ivy for you! We've already combined our property with that of the Goulds and there is no way to split the two. Elliot, don't make us do it! Gary Gould got his eys money from running illegal businesses! We just brought him to justice!" Ted said. "I'm not negotiating with you," Elliot said coldly.
He would have never traveled this far to Ylore had it not been for his daughter, Ivy. He did not care whether they had acted based on justice or whether the entire incident had been a hostile takeover, but he was determined to teach them a lesson.
"You are all going to donate that money if you still know shame," Elliot said. "But if you refuse to..."
