To the Love of My Life

Chapter 766: Chapter 766: Fearlessly Blocking the Blade (16)

Steve Burton remained silent, but his expression became somewhat rigid.

Rusell Henris’ brow furrowed: “It’s eleven o’clock at night now, and neither of them are answering their phones. I hope nothing untoward has happened.”

Just as Russell finished speaking, Steve instinctively tapped on the locator in his phone.

Ever since Ruby Gregory was kidnapped the last time, he had installed a tracking software in her phone. He could see her movements prior to her turning off the phone.

Steve saw that she had gone to the Grand Ciawell Restaurant, then to a bar in Hora. Shortly after he sent her a text message, she and Madeleine left the bar and headed back the way they had come. But halfway back, their track suddenly diverted into an old Ciawell alley, and then they completely disappeared.

As a native Ciawell resident, Steve was very familiar with the city’s geography. That old alley had been almost uninhabited for years. What were Ruby and Madeleine doing there? Moreover, one of their phones had been turned off, and no one answered the other phone.

The more Steve thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He abruptly rose from his seat, grabbed his coat from behind, and said, “I need to go check it out in Hora.”

With that, Steve headed for the door of the Sapphire Bistro’s private room.

Rusell Henris and Edward Woods exchanged a glance, and then followed him out with a sense of unease.

Howard Coleman sat alone at the mahjong table, staring at the somewhat disorganized deck in front of him. After about half a minute, he sighed slowly, grabbed his smartphone and car keys, and followed them out.

Although Madeleine knew some martial arts, the drunk her was a bit weak. At the beginning, she knocked down two or three men with sudden and severe attacks, but only kept it up for about ten minutes. Eventually, she was restrained by those men.

One of the men who had been kicked by Madeleine was rather furious. Without thinking, he struck Madeleine’s face harshly twice and snapped, “Forget about her, get on with the task. One woman wasn’t enough to split between us, now there are two, let’s get on it…”

As soon as the man finished speaking, Ruby and Madeleine were abruptly pushed to the ground. A little further away, another man was holding a flashlight on them, taking photos with his cell phone’s flash on, enthusiastically recording the scene.

Having completely lost her strength to fight back, Madeleine’s low-cut outfit had been forcibly entered. Ruby clearly heard the sound of her own clothes being torn…

Despair surged over Ruby like a tidal wave.

Just as she thought she was done for — and had even implicated Madeleine — she suddenly noticed the flashlight that had been shining on her blink harshly. Then, the weight on her vanished. Turning her head, she first saw Madeleine sitting on the ground disheveled, just like her. The scene a short distance down the alley appeared to be somewhat chaotic.

Although Maya Mitchell had brought six or seven people with her, where were they a match for Steve and his group? Under the glimmer of the flashlight in the corner, Ruby could hardly even see what was happening. She only heard one scream after another, then those arrogant men were all lying in various arrangements on the ground, making low humming noises out of pain.
