Chapter 1821
Troy took two steps forward and said, "Weldon, we all know that you are loyal to Miss Ninetina and abide by her orders. But, it would help if you understand that we all also work for her; we're on the same boat. Let's talk things out nicely. Please don't make us out to be enemies. Remember, our enemy is Jefferson."
"I'm glad you guys still know that Jefferson is the true enemy." A cold voice rang from the entrance as the silhouette of a tall man appeared.
His appearance made the atmosphere quiet down instantly. The men in the factory all lowered their heads and no one dared to make a sound. Only Weldon remained unfazed.
He stood where he was, guarding beside Adrienne.
This was the same man who appeared in front of Miss Ninetina previously and took Jefferson away. His name was Uriah Sanders. He was the one who had brought Jefferson over to these men to keep an eye on.
Who would have thought that these good-for-nothings would not only fail to monitor Jefferson, but they even allowed Jefferson to take away one of their important members. Anyone would be infuriated by this situation, and Uriah was no exception.
He looked at everyone present and yelled angrily, "You guys can't even keep one man in check. How dare you guys complain? Just wait and see. Let's see how Miss Ninetina will deal with you lot."
No one at the scene dared to answer. Even Finn could only hang his head low and did not dare to say a word.
"Weldon, take this girl to the next room and watch her carefully. She is a very important hostage right now. Don't take your eyes off her." Uriah then turned to Troy. "Jefferson will be coming soon.
You guys should get ready. If he escapes again this time, you guys will have to answer to Miss Ninetina."
Weldon didn't reply and simply acted according to the orders. He picked Adrienne up like a sack and brought her over to the rundown house next door.
The other men started preparing. Soon, the sound of the car engines could be heard from the outside.
Jefferson's voice rang out over a megaphone,
"All of you inside, listen to me. Give her to me right now, or I'll make you all suffer!"
It was obvious that Jefferson was mad, they could all hear the anger in his voice from inside the factory.
Before Uriah could even settle down, the person they wanted to see had already shown up at their doorstep. "Hmph, how can he still be so arrogant when the girl is in our hands? Is he dumb or is he just that bold that he fears nothing?"
Troy came over and commented, "Uriah, if he continues to be arrogant, we'll send her corpse out to him to bring home."
Uriah glared at Troy coldly. "Are you disregarding Miss Ninetina's orders?"
"Uriah, why can't we touch the girl?" asked Troy. They were allowed to harm Jefferson, but not the girl. Troy was just as curious as Finn. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
"Are you that curious? If you keep asking all these questions, I might have to kill you," Uriah growled in a low voice. Suddenly, he raised his voice and shouted, "Bring that girl out."
Hearing the order, Weldon once again strung Adrienne over his shoulder and carried her out.
Uriah added, "Bring her to the entrance and let Jefferson see her. Let's see what he plans to do."
Weldon chimed in, "Miss Ninetina told me that no matter what happens, we can't let the girl get hurt."
Uriah asked coldly, "Did I ask you to hurt her?" Weldon didn't say a word, nor did he move.
"If we don't show her to him, Jefferson might not believe us. What can we do to make him surrender then?"
Weldon still didn't say anything. He stood still like a statue.
Uriah really didn't know what to do with this emotionless bloke. "I promise you, I'll kill whoever dares to hurt her."
Hearing this, Weldon decided to obey his orders and carried Adrienne out.
As soon as the factory door was opened, Weldon saw Jefferson sitting about 50 meters away on the top of his car. He had a megaphone in his hand and his haughty expression was particularly annoying.
Seeing them appear, Jefferson jumped off his car like a monkey and ran forward as fast as he could. He ordered, "Put her down. Are you trying to give her a hemorrhage?"
"Captain Hefner, if you take another step
closer, I will send this girl to meet her parents." Uriah walked toward Weldon with a pistol in his hand and pointed the gun at Adrienne's head.
Weldon's face darkened and he shouted, "Watch where you're aiming!"
Uriah was close to cursing as he thought, "F*ck, why do I have such a stupid teammate?"
Fortunately, Jefferson was still quite some distance away. Otherwise, they would be doomed.
However, Jefferson was still acting very arrogantly. "Shoot her if you dare, blow her brains out. If you don't dare, then let her go." "F*ck, how dare this group of idiots kidnap my little idiot and threaten me? Just wait and see. Once I get Little Specky back safely, I'll skin them all alive."
"Even now, you're still acting all high and mighty. Do you really think I won't dare to?" From Jefferson's expression alone, people would assume that he was the one who had the upper hand. How frustrating.
"Then shoot away!" Jefferson's gaze turned sharp. Although his words were tough, he knew how nervous he was. When he got captured, he wasn't worried at all. He got injured here and there, but he healed quickly.
He was fine in a couple of days.
However, Little Specky was different. Her skin was so soft and delicate. Even when he pinched her, the mark took two days to disappear.
Not only that, she was so easily frightened. Even if they didn't physically harm her, he couldn't allow them to scare her either.
Jefferson really had a way with words, no ordinary person could really match up to him. Uriah knew that if this quarreling went on, it wouldn't help their mission.
Uriah added, "We have nothing against this girl. If you do as we ask, we won't hurt her."
"The people you want are in the car!" Jefferson's eyes fixated on Adrienne, who was hanging over Weldon's shoulder. He could feel the anger rising inside him as he gritted his teeth.
He treated her so preciously, yet these b*stards were handling her so roughly.
"Mr. Hefner, please bring them over to us." Uriah knew that Jefferson was up to no good, hence he didn't dare to let his guard down.
Otherwise, he could fall into Jefferson's trap at any second.
"Jeff..."
Adrienne's weak voice suddenly reached
Jefferson's ears, making his body tense up instantly. "Little Specky, I'm here!"
