Chapter 888 Be Your Family
Lindon casually shifted his gaze back to them, a wicked smile playing at the corners of his mouth. “So, prepare a car for me and
get rid of the people outside. Once I've safely left, I'll naturally release them!”
Anthony glared at him fiercely.
“What? Do I need to fire a shot at them as a warning?” Lindon asked. As he spoke, he directly loaded the chamber and prepared
to pull the trigger.
“I will prepare it for you!” Anthony suddenly exclaimed.
At that moment, Anthony looked toward Miguel beside him. “Drive the car in.”
Miguel furrowed his eyebrows immediately. “If I leave, how about you all?”
Anthony stared intently at Lindon, then said word by word, “Don't worry about us. Those people won't leave until you return. If
Lindon acts rashly, they will shoot him to death!”
Miguel said, “But...”
Anthony looked at him and gave him a signal with his eyes. “Go!”
Initially, Miguel wanted to say something, but upon seeing Anthony's gaze, he was momentarily taken aback. After a short pause,
he nodded. “Got it!”
Before leaving, he handed a gun to Magus and said with a lowered voice, “Please protect Master well. If anything happens, I
won't let you off the hook.”
Having said that, Miguel turned around and walked outside without waiting for Magus to reply.
“You better not try any tricks, or these two brats will die with me,” Lindon warned as he looked at Miguel's figure.
Anthony looked at Lindon and said, “Don't worry, your life may not mean much, but the lives of my younger brother and sister are
very precious.”
“That better be the truth,” Lindon said.
Anthony pursed his lips and remained silent as he looked at Benjamin and Denise. He did not mutter anything, but his worried
gaze showed all his current emotions.
At that moment, there was a sudden silence.
Lindon's gaze sized up Anthony and the two hostages in his arms. Although he did not know who they were, his intuition told him
they were no ordinary people.
Just as he was about to ask something, Benjamin suddenly said, “Lindon, are you sure you can get out of here successfully with
the both of us? If I were you, I would choose only one of us to make it easier to hold hostage and avoid causing trouble.
Otherwise, if either of us runs too slow, we'll only hold you back.”
Lindon was able to detect the implication in Benjamin's words.
He looked down at him and said lightly, “Are you really willing to do this for your sister?”
“She is my sister, so it's natural for me to want to protect her. The most important thing is, you know very well that it's the best
choice for you as well,” Benjamin said.
Lindon casually shifted his gaze back to them, a wicked smile playing at the corners of his mouth. “So, prepare a car for me and
get rid of the people outside. Once I've safely left, I'll naturally release them!”
Lindon chuckled softly. “You're right. It's indeed convenient to only take one hostage...” As he spoke, his gaze fell on Denise.
Lindon looked at her face, and a hint of twisted delight appeared on his. “It's just that this little girl is so pretty, I'm somewhat
reluctant to let her go...” With that, his hand reached out to touch Denise's face.
“Don't touch me!” As his hand approached her face, Denise swiftly raised her hand and forcefully pushed his hand away.
Lindon was stunned and then squinted his eyes slightly. “I didn't expect you to have such a temper, but I like it.”
Benjamin observed from the side, seemingly sensing that something was amiss.
“Lindon, let go of my sister, and I will assist you in your escape,” Benjamin stated firmly.
Lindon looked at him and replied, “Brat, your sister doesn't seem that scared. I'll take her with me instead, so you can go.” With
that, he let Benjamin go.
Yet, Benjamin had no intention of leaving at all. Looking at Lindon anxiously, he said, “Little girls will cause you problems and
troubles. Comparatively, I'm a better fit.”
The more he tried to convince Lindon, the more the latter refused his suggestion. “I told you I don't need you to be my hostage.
Get lost.”
Benjamin's eyes narrowed slightly as if there were flames flickering in them.
Just as he was about to say something, Anthony said from the side, “Benjamin, come back here for now.”
Benjamin looked at him, clearly unwilling to do so.
Anthony shook his head at him.
Even if he was unwilling, Benjamin knew he should cooperate in this situation.
Clenching his fist, Benjamin stared deeply into Denise's eyes.
“Don't worry, Ben. I will be fine!” Denise said while looking at Benjamin with a smile. She did not want her brother to worry.
All this time, she had been endlessly enjoying her brothers' pampering and affection. However, in such a dangerous situation,
she did not want to be a child hiding behind them and always getting protected anymore.
She also hoped that they could be safe.
Benjamin looked at her. His heart ached even more as he saw her smile, making it harder for him to leave.
After all, making him abandon his own sister and head toward the escape route by himself was such a cruel thing to do.
Benjamin's feet felt heavy as if they were filled with lead, causing him to move with difficulty.
“Ben, if something happens to me, please remember to tell Daddy and Mommy that I love them, and I love you and Tony too. If
there's a next life, I'd still want us to be a family.”
Benjamin said, “Denise...”
“Just go,” Denise instructed, tears unexpectedly falling from her eyes.
Benjamin watched her, and his heart ached.
At that moment, Lindon, who was looking at them from the side, could not help but speak up. “Oh dear. Cutie, why are you
crying? Don't worry. I won't do anything to you as long as you cooperate...” As he spoke, he reached out his hand, wanting to
wipe away the tears from Denise's eyes.
“Don't touch me!” Denise exclaimed in disgust and fiercely bit down on the hand that reached for her.
Lindon was taken aback and caught off guard as Denise bit him, causing him to grimace in pain.
“How dare you bite me!” Lindon looked at Denise and was about to strike her with his other hand. However, reacting swiftly,
Benjamin suddenly stomped hard on Lindon's foot. In the next second, he lunged at Lindon's other hand and fiercely bit down on
it.
“Ah!” exclaimed Lindon in agony as he was bitten on both hands.
Lindon's face contorted in pain.
After seeing the chaos, Anthony immediately rushed forward, while Magus, who was standing at the side, was left dumbfounded.
He had never seen a scene like that before.
As Anthony regained his focus, he noticed Magus standing idle and immediately shouted, “What are you waiting for? Get him!”
Startled by Anthony's shout, Magus snapped back to his senses. In the next second, his gaze changed, and he immediately
charged toward Lindon.
Seeing Lindon was about to break free, Magus rushed before him and swiftly landed two punches on him.
“Move aside!” Magus shouted.
Seizing the moment, Denise and Benjamin loosened their hold on him and quickly stepped back.
Even though Lindon was in pain at that moment, he looked up at Magus with eyes filled with hostility. “I'll kill you...”
Just as he was about to aim the gun in his hand at Magus, a dagger suddenly appeared in Magus' hand in the next second, and
the latter ruthlessly plunged it into Lindon's abdomen.
Lindon's body stiffened, and his eyes were wide open as if he could not believe he had fallen into Magus' hands.
Clearly, Magus was in no hurry in attacking Lindon. With one hand gripping the back of Lindon's neck and the other just in front
of his abdomen, he pulled the dagger out and ruthlessly stabbed it back in.
Each stab seemed particularly vicious, yet none struck a vital spot in Lindon's body. With that, Magus repeated the same motion
over and over, thrusting in, pulling out, and thrusting in again. It was as if the resentment and hatred he had harbored for years
were gradually being released at that moment.
