Rod’s hamr seed to have smashed Juliette’s heart. Her well-maintained face was filled with nothing but ugliness and fear.
At that mont of pain, she almost bit her tongue, but she bit her arm instead in ti, forcing herself to endure the pain.
It was not that she did not want to explain. It was just that Rod moved so quickly.
When torturing her, he was very neat. The whole process was completed fast and accurately, not giving her a chance to speak.
She didn’t have a chance to use her mouth to utter a word at all. She spent all her ti wailing.
The feeling of the back of her foot being pierced by the long nails was killing her.
Juliette had never been tortured like this. The second when she was about to faint, she thought she saw the masked man prostrate on the ground calling to her.
"Ms. Beckford..."
She struggled to cry out, "Jovanny..."
She stretched out her hand, but the man dispersed like smoke.
She saw another scene. In the misty smoke, Jovanny’s feet were pierced through by glass, and every step he took left blood on the ground.
However, he carried her on his back and walked forward without even frowning.
Back then, they were in an accident, and Jovanny pulled her out of the car, which was about to explode, despite the danger.
He was so flustered that he didn’t bother even though both of his feet were punctured by the window blast.
She could not bear to see that scene.
Yet Jovanny saw no one but her.
At this precise mont, Juliette only understood after experiencing the sa heart-wrenching pain.
In this world, only Jovanny would never abandon her.
However, she personally ordered his death.
And he did as he was told.
Now that she thought about it, she was unwilling. She wasted Jovanny’s last bit of value.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have suffered in vain.
Rod, who was in front of her, was no different from a terrifying ghost. He picked up another rusty iron nail and smiled strangely. In the next second, he aid at Juliette’s other foot.
"No!"
Juliette’s eyes almost popped out as she shouted non-stop, "Stop treating like this. I have sothing to tell you!"
The reason why Rod was able to commit countless murders was that he never hesitated.
He believed that villains died from talking or hesitating too much.
Therefore, he always did things cleanly, not letting others have a chance to counterattack.
And right now, he was not interested in what Juliette wanted to tell him at all.
He didn’t know if she was just trying to stall.
He refused to listen or believe, and his goal was clear. He only did what he had to do. In this way, he would be invincible.
So, he did not hesitate at all. He pinpointed the nail, and then he raised the hamr high and aid it at her foot.
As the hamr fell, the bitter wind blew.
Juliette’s heart stopped beating for a second.
She closed her eyes and said in one breath, "The woman who is pregnant with his baby is hiding in this building!"
Rod was dumbfounded.
The pain that she had imagined did not co true. Juliette only heard a clink.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw that the man in front of her had already tossed the nail away.
The evil man smiled and asked, "His ... baby?"
At this ti, Juliette was already scared out of her wits.
She let out a sigh of relief and said, "Yes... Yes! His baby! The woman and their baby are in this building!"
Lance pulled an utterly sullen face. His chest heaved, and he didn’t say anything.
Now his every move was being watched by Rod.
Lance thought, how co Yvette ... is here?
"It’s true, Mr. Charles. His ex-wife is in this building. I saw her today, and I secretly arranged for a waiter to lock her in. I think she has not escaped yet.
"Mr. Charles, this is a trap designed for you. Believe ! This man!"
She pointed at Lance and took Rod’s side without hesitation. She said loudly, "His goal is to catch you and kill you!"
Rod fingered his kerchief, glanced at the man, showed an incomprehensible smile, and then nodded at the two n in black nearby.
After the two n in black restrained Lance’s wrists, they got up and went to check out the two windows.
In less than ten seconds, they replied in panic, "Mr. Charles, bad news. There are many cops outside!"
"Inform Shadow Army right now." Rod frowned.
Shadow Army was the team that Rod brought with him.
The mbers of Shadow Army were all brave warriors of the Charles family.
"OK."
One of the n in black took out his device and called his companion outside.
Juliette seized the opportunity and said with tears, "Mr. Charles, you should know that he doesn’t care about being tortured at all. If you want to get even, why don’t you..."
Juliette paused and then continued, every word vicious, "Dig his baby out and give his baby to him personally? Won’t that make you feel better?"
She finished speaking.
For dozens of seconds, no one spoke.
Juliette’s viciousness was enough to shock everyone.
Only Rod revealed an evil smile. He said, "Ms. Beckford, your thoughts coincide with mine."
"Thwack!"
The hamr in Rod’s hand fell at Juliette’s feet.
"Ah!"
Juliette still had lingering fear due to the previous pain, and she was so frightened that she hugged her head and scread.
"Ha!"
When Rod saw how timid Juliette was, he could not help but laugh loudly.
At the sa ti, there was a sudden indifferent sneer coming from behind him.
"So much for the famous Bloodthirsty Knight Rod. What a thorough fool."
Rod turned his head and saw the handso man with blood on the corner of his mouth as well as contempt in his eyes.
Rod walked toward the man and said with a gentle expression, "Are you talking about ?"
Along with Rod’s pleasant voice, there was the sound of bones cracking.
Juliette saw everything clearly from Rod’s behind.
Rod crushed Lance’s kneecap with his bare hand!
She saw it with her own eyes. With his hand, Rod crushed Lance’s hard kneecap.
Rod’s strength was simply terrifying!
However, Lance, who was opposite Rod, was clearly weaker at the mont, but he looked even more horrifying.
Lance didn’t even make a sound.
When his kneecap was crushed, he didn’t even frown.
His kind of endurance was beyond ordinary people.
The two n, both at the top, were now facing each other, and neither was yielding.
Also, it might be a coincidence. Rod was dressed in black, while Lance was wearing a pure white shirt, and his coat was nowhere to be seen. The white shirt was stained with blood, and when he was wearing it, it looked like it was printed.
One dressed in black, and the other dressed in white. It looked like the final battle between evil and justice.
Rod was surprised by Lance’s forbearance.
Rod said, "Well, well. You have good tolerance. However, you call a fool. Are you that eager to die?"
"Was I wrong?"
Lance spoke in a slightly hoarse voice. It seed that he wasn’t totally immune to his fractured kneecap at all.
It was just that his tolerance was beyond imagination.
Even though his hands were handcuffed to the pillar, and his kneecap was broken, he was still not kneeling.
Instead, he half-bent the intact knee and stiffened his back, unyielding.
"It is rumored that the Bloodthirsty Knight has always been quick and precise. Who knows? You have been swayed by a woman’s words, and she said so simply to survive."
Lance was implying that what Juliette had said was just an excuse to run away.
Juliette’s face instantly went ghastly pale.
She thought, Lance, you damned bastard!
Lance’s gaze was cold as he mocked, "I guess the rumors don’t seem credible at all."
Lance’s words successfully provoked Rod. He pulled out an exquisite small pistol from his arms at once.
Without even glancing at Juliette, Rod aid behind him.
"There’s only one end for anyone who fools ," Rod said coldly.
Rod did not turn his head. Instead, he kept looking at Lance. However, he was able to aim at the center of Juliette’s forehead precisely.
In an instant, Juliette’s heart almost jumped out of her chest!
She widened her eyes and said in a panic, "No! No! That’s not it! Mr. Charles, please believe ... He was only trying to protect his woman and his baby!"
At the sa ti, the man in black who had gone to summon Shadow Army rushed in and said, "Mr. Charles, we couldn’t reach any mber of Shadow Army."
Rod thought, what?
At this critical juncture? There must be sothing wrong.
Chances are, my Shadow Army has been taken down by Secret Service agents in Arica.
He moved the gun around in a second and pressed it against Lance’s forehead.
"Ha! It’s you, isn’t it?"
Lance said calmly, "This is Rosewood Hotel. There is a surveillance cara every ten feet. Even if you disable the surveillance system, you’ll leave a trail. Besides, you’ve been in here for over half an hour, so even if soone notices sothing, it makes sense that they call the police."
Rod pondered for a mont and found that Lance’s words were sohow reasonable.
But he had one doubt.
He sneered, "You wanted to provoke to kill that woman earlier. It seems that what she said is true."
Lance raised his eyes and looked over. Before he could speak, Rod had already turned around and asked Juliette with his eyes.
Juliette let out a long sigh of relief. It seed that Rod had not wanted to kill her just now.
She glared fiercely at Lance, who bent one of his knees and was half squatting.
She took the opportunity and hurriedly explained, "Mr. Charles, his ex-wife is the woman we ntioned in our agreent. Are you sure you don’t want to capture her and torture her with your own hands after she has escaped from you so many tis?"
Rod loosened his grip and stood up with his gunstock up.
"That woman?"
He was asking Juliette.
Rod knew that Arica practiced monogamy. However, many of the rich had several wives, and it was perfectly normal to get married and divorced many tis.
So, it didn’t occur to him that Lance’s ex-wife was that woman he and Juliette talked about.
Juliette nodded ceaselessly. "Yes! It is that woman. You have seen her before. Now you don’t think I’m lying to you, right?"
Right now, Rod was intrigued indeed. The prey that had escaped from him twice might die in his hands today.
At the thought of that, he felt utterly thrilled, and he even had the urge to scream.
He said, "Ms. Beckford, tell . Where is she?"
Juliette trembled while still trying to fight for herself. She said, "Mr. Charles, I can tell you, but I... Can you spare ?"
"Don’t worry. After we find her, I guarantee that you can get out of here in one piece. However..."
Rod paused and smiled, revealing his snow-white teeth. Then he continued, "Ms. Beckford, if I find out you’re lying to , I’ll cut you open and pull out your intestines. That should be just as fun."
Juliette couldn’t utter a word.
Rod’s smile grew bigger. "Don’t be afraid, Ms. Beckford. That will be nothing but an interesting experience."
Juliette’s teeth were chattering, and she said in fear, "Mr. Charles, please. I am not lying to you. I swear!"
"Tell , darling." Rod raised Juliette’s chin with the gunstock.
Rod’s gentleness always ca together with fatal danger.
Juliette stuttered, "She is in Suite 8019 on the eighth floor... I had soone make sure the suite was locked. I am a hundred percent certain."
"Alright then. If I find her, I’ll reward you when I get back. What do you see in this man, my dear?"
Rod asked, "His eyes or his lips? Hmm... Or his sexy Adam’s apple? Anywhere you like, I’ll cut it off and give it to you as a thank-you gift. How about that?"
Juliette didn’t say anything.
She felt like vomiting when she heard his words. She was confident that she could kill without blinking.
However, she was nothing compared to Rod.
In her eyes, it seed that Rod enjoyed killing.
Seeing how frightened Juliette was, Rod stood up in satisfaction and ordered his two subordinates.
"You, detonate the explosives placed next to the west window. Now that the Secret Service agents ssed with Shadow Army, it’s only fair that we return the favor.
"You, keep an eye on those two. I’ll go pay a visit to that lady."
When Rod was speaking, he was looking at Lance.
He saw that Lance’s expression did not change at all. He did not know if it was because Lance was too good at hiding his emotions, or because Lance did not care.
Rod thought, when I catch that woman, I don’t believe he’ll still be this indifferent.
As Rod went out while clutching his gun, he heard a loud, earth-shattering noise coming from southwest of Rosewood Hotel.
Then he saw thick black smoke rising from the southwest half of the wall, and the sll of sulfur filled the street.
The Secret Service agents downstairs all lay down and then retreated to the safe zone.
Obviously, they knew that the bandits upstairs were threatening them, warning them that once they approached, the entire building would be blown up.
As the smoke filled the air, Frankie found one of the captains of the Secret Service agents and said, "I can contact soone inside, but I need to talk to the commander of your operation."
After verifying Frankie’s identity, the captain inford his superior about the situation.
Soon, his superior replied, "Bring him in."
The captain brought Frankie to the temporary command center and said, "You may go in."
After Frankie entered, he was received by a middle-aged man of about forty.
"What do you an you can contact soone inside?"
"Hello, Commander. There are jamrs installed inside, but I just found out through satellite positioning that Mrs. Wolseley is also inside the building."
"Mrs. Wolseley?" The man was puzzled.
