Chapter 556: Chapter 556 Juliette Is Tortured (1)

After Yvette aimed her scissor at the fuse, she did not hesitate to aim at the yellow one.

"Clank..."

When the sound of the cutting was heard, she could not help but close her eyes. Her heart skipped a beat.

She was afraid, but fortunately, there was no explosion.

She succeeded.

Yvette almost wanted to jump up and cheer, but now there was no time for her to celebrate.

She had to rush to the next explosive spot.

Yvette picked up the useful tools she had plundered from the hotel and carried them on her back. Then, she went to another explosive spot according to the previous route.

This time, Yvette didn’t think too much about it. She took out the scissor and went to cut the fuse.

She didn’t hear the expected sound, but she heard a very loud sound.

"Clank..."

The scissors in Yvette’s hand fell to the ground.

She immediately covered her head and crouched down.

The loud noise made her think that it was a bomb that had exploded.

However, the explosion that she had imagined did not come. Yvette was just about to raise her head to check the situation when a black barrel was pressed against her temple.

Her entire body froze.

The man in black from Shadow Army sized her up and said, "She’s the woman that our boss is looking for."

Yvette collapsed. She knew that this man was talking about Rod.

At this time, the man looked back at the explosives and cursed, "Shit!"

The fuse of the explosives had been cut off.

He turned and stared at Yvette with some disbelief, but still asked, "Did you cut it?"

Yvette lowered her head and did not speak, but her chin was pinched by the man.

"Clank!"

The butt of the gun hit Yvette’s mouth, and her teeth were instantly stained with blood, which flowed down the corner of her mouth.

"Pah!"

Yvette spat out a mouthful of blood and admitted, "Yes."

This man clearly saw it just now, but he couldn’t believe it, so he confirmed it again. There was nothing to hide now.

This way, she could suffer less.

The man interrogated her, "How did you know to cut this fuse?"

Yvette said, "I don’t know."

The man became wary of Yvette and no longer treated her like an ordinary woman. He stared at her and said, "Come with me and don’t do anything. Otherwise, I will kill you!"

After saying this, he pulled both of her hands to her back, wanting to use a rope to tie them up and drag her.

"Ah..." Yvette cried out in pain.

The man looked up and saw Yvette’s beautiful face, so he relaxed his vigilance.

It was really funny that such a useless woman dared to cut fuses.

Just as he was looking down at her and mocking her from the bottom of his heart, Yvette’s hand suddenly reached his neck.

"Buzz..."

​The electric current sound came. It was the stun gun that Yvette had placed in her bag for self-defense.

Just now, she did not take her luggage and brought this thing with her.

It looked like a power bank, very portable, and not noticeable.

Just like now, when she attacked unexpectedly, the man was unable to guard against it and was electrocuted.

His eyes widened, and his entire body twitched. He cursed, "I’ll kill you!"

After all, he was a mercenary, and his endurance was much higher than ordinary people. After being electrocuted like this, he was still able to twist Yvette’s wrist.

The effect of the stun gun was not good, and he had just dodged.

Although he was injured, the effect was too short and the damage was not big. The man could still use force.

Yvette struggled to break free and used the stun gun to hit his wrist, leaving a small wound on his wrist.

Yvette took the opportunity to aim at the small wound. The damage continued to expand and the constant electric current burned, making the man’s wrist almost numb.

"Fuck!"

He cursed as he withdrew his hand, clutching his wrist as he squatted on the ground, his expression extremely pained.

Yvette took advantage of this to run.

The hotel corridor door was closed, and there was nowhere to hide. Soon, she heard the sound of footsteps behind her.

That man had already caught up.

"Stop! You can’t escape!"

The man shouted while chasing after her.

He shouted at the walkie-talkie and told Rod about the situation. "Mr. Charles, I found that woman. She is on the seventh floor!"

Rod’s expression changed slightly when he heard the voice from the walkie-talkie.

He turned around and smiled at Juliette. "I’m really sorry, Ms. Beckford. She appeared too late. You can’t blame me."

Juliette rested her head on her arm, and blood flowed all over the ground.

Her face was a bloody mess, and a piece of meat that had been discarded beside her seemed to be her mouth.

Rod actually cut her mouth.

Juliette lay on the ground, hopeless.

She didn’t even have time to explain before she was treated like this by this madman.

How could there be such a madman in the world who would cut her mouth without saying a word?

She was desperate.

When Rod saw Juliette lying on the ground like a dead person, he immediately felt bored.

In his eyes, Juliette was a useless and pathetic woman.

She was abandoned by a man and did so many bad things, but she could not even deal with an ordinary love rival.

Rod took out a silk scarf and wiped his hands. Then he wiped the blood in front of him and smiled slightly, "Since this woman has appeared, I will spare your life for the sake of Mr. Beckford. You should thank Mr. Beckford."

Juliette’s face was pale. Not far from where she was lying, there was a mirror that was used for decoration of the venue.

In that mirror, at this moment, she was a terrifying ugly monster.

She was so ugly that she could not bear to look straight at it.

Why?

She wanted to scream.

She was born proud and noble, so how could she be treated like that like those losers?

"Mr. Charles."

Juliette called out weakly.

"You were deceived by Lance. I know who killed your wife."

These words piqued Rod’s interest. He stopped and walked back to ask, "Who is it?"

Actually, he didn’t love that woman very much. It was just that after living for so many years, he felt it was very difficult to find someone who could match up to him. That woman was also evil in her heart, just like him.

He felt it was fate.

However, the person who killed her was undoubtedly provoking him and showing off.

Rod took the risk to find this man to prove that his prestige could not be provoked.

Juliette opened her bloody lips and said, "It’s..."

Rod did not hear, squatted down and asked again.

"Who is it? Louder!"

"It’s Richard..."

As soon as Juliette said the name, it aroused Rod’s strong interest. He thought quickly in his mind, but there was no enemy called Richard.

But before he could get a clue, his arm suddenly went numb, as if he had been bitten by a mosquito.

He looked down and saw a needle inserted in his arm. Juliette grinned at him horribly with her bloody mouth.

Rod was stunned.

He reached out and immediately pulled out his pistol, but it was already too late.

His whole body was numb. He was injected with a high molecule anesthetic. The reaction time after injecting was only one second.

"You..." Rod only had time to say this word before he fell to the ground.

Juliette laughed like crazy.

Then she slowly stood up, picked up the knife that had just cut her mouth and stabbed it down.

She stabbed him repeatedly.

Juliette seemed to have gone crazy as she continuously stabbed him.

She only stabbed Rod’s face.

His handsome face was instantly pierced into a bloody hornet’s nest.

Juliette laughed.

Juliette stabbed him and muttered, "Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

Who would have thought that the overlord of Iceland, Rod, would be killed by a woman?

It was the woman he looked down on.

It was not until the face became a bloody mess that Juliette threw away the knife.

Then she carefully observed Rod’s face and even used her hand to caress it. She was smiling.

"It looks better. Look at how handsome you are now. You still have to practice more."

Juliette seemed to have gone completely crazy.

She crawled over, picked up the delicate pistol, and stood up unsteadily.

"Hide well. I’m here to find you..."

Her horrible laughter echoed in the corridor.

On the other side...

Yvette didn’t dare to stop. She sped up and ran to the elevator.

It was definitely unwise to take the stairs at this time. Her physical strength was not as good as the man, so she could only take the elevator.

After entering the elevator, Yvette hurriedly pressed many buttons for various floors and then immediately pressed the close button.

The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer. Just as the man was about to reach the elevator, the door finally closed in time.

Yvette looked at the closed elevator door and let out a long sigh of relief.

However, she would have to face an even bigger threat. The elevator door would open in a while, and she might face an unknown danger.

She had just thrown everything away. At this moment, she only had a stun gun in her hand, and she was tightly clenching it.

When the elevator opened, there was a "beep" sound.

There seemed to be no one outside.

Just as Yvette relaxed, a hand suddenly reached into the elevator and pulled her out.

"Ah! Let me go!"

Yvette closed her eyes and wanted to use the stun gun to electrocute the person. Unexpectedly, the stun gun did not make any sound at all.

After being used once, it actually ran out of electricity.

Yvette could only use the stun gun as a weapon and randomly smashed it down.

"Let me go!" She was so scared that her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

"Yve."

A familiar voice called out to her, causing her to stop.

Yvette looked up and saw the man with concern in his eyes. She was stunned.

"Lance."

When she called out, she had a lump in her throat.

Lance’s eyes were red. "It’s me."

"Lance!"

"Yes."

Yvette opened her arms and hugged him.

She was alone in a big hotel, doing dangerous things and facing all kinds of unknown threats.

She was scared and helpless.

However, no matter how scared she was, she could only not give up.

At this moment, after seeing Lance, she broke down.

Her pretty face was covered in tears, and at the same time, she looked even more delicate.

Lance’s heart ached, and he held her tightly. "Yve."

"I’m so angry and scared. You..."

Yvette was full of complaints, but when she saw Lance standing with a limp and his trousers and knees stained with blood, she was stunned.

"Are you alright? Your legs..."

Yvette struggled to free herself, then crouched down, her eyes red.

"Did Rod cut your legs?"

"It’s fine."

Lance did not want her to pay too much attention to his legs, so he pulled her up and said, "What about you? Are you hurt?"

He stared at her. His eyes were finally no longer cold. Instead, they were tender.

That kind of concern could not be faked.

Yvette felt his body temperature, and her heartbeat, which had been thumping helplessly, finally slowed down.

Although they had quarreled before, at this moment, in front of life and death, these had become insignificant.

At this time, they did not want to waste time explaining.

"I..."

Yvette was just about to speak, but in the next second, the sound of bullets being loaded sounded.

They were stunned at the same time.

Behind them, the man from Shadow Army had already arrived. He pointed his gun at them and said, "Raise your hands! Do not move!"

Yvette froze and raised her hands. Lance was also very cooperative.

The man was very annoyed with Yvette’s sneak attack and was determined to teach her a lesson.

He pointed the gun at Yvette and said, "Let her come over."

"No!" Lance refused without any hesitation.

Lance raised his hands and stood in front of Yvette, saying, "She can’t go over."

"Then you have to die now!" The man fired a shot.

"Be careful!" Yvette quickly pulled Lance.

They immediately rolled on the ground, and Lance also took out a smoke grenade and threw it over.

In an instant, the elevator entrance was surrounded by fog.

"Khem-hem..."

They coughed at the same time in the smoke.

They couldn’t see each other.

Bang! Bang!

Another two gunshots rang out. It was clear that the man from Shadow Army was in a hurry and fired indiscriminately.

Yvette was held tightly in Lance’s arms and pulled to the corner to hide.

Seeing that the smoke was about to dissipate, Lance patted Yvette’s back and made a look.

Then, he crawled over from the ground and grabbed the man’s leg.

After the man was knocked down, the gun in his hand also fell to the ground, and they began to fight.

This man was very treacherous. He knew that Lance’s leg was injured, and he kept hitting Lance’s wound.

Lance’s wound continued to bleed, and Lance gradually fell into a disadvantage.

The man seized the opportunity to grab Lance’s head and hit it against the floor.

"Stop!" Yvette shouted.

The man acted as if he did not hear her and continued to hold Lance’s head.

In a moment of desperation, Yvette saw the pistol on the ground and quickly picked it up. She aimed at the man and said, "If you don’t stop, I will shoot!"
