He was unyielding, claiming that the most important hostage to him had been beheaded by them. The remaining three hostages were dispensable. If they could not even confirm the safety of the hostages with basic videos, then this deal was out of the question. They could do whatever they wanted with the hostages.
The man only said this to weaken the Sacred Temple’s confidence.
They had thought that Alice and Natalia would be the two most important hostages for the Hurricane Group, and that Romanka and Hua Jin would be at the top of their execution list. Their original plan was to execute Romanka first to show their strength. If the Hurricane Group did not cooperate, they would then execute Hua Jin to pressure them to submit.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe man’s words were nothing more than an act of nonchalance to make the Sacred Temple believe that the three hostages were not that important, thus weakening their arrogance.
Of course, he also knew that the Sacred Temple would not believe him so easily.
However… The Hurricane Group also gave warning… Once Jim gave the order to execute these hostages, it would be the time of the Sacred Temple’s demise. At that point, the Hurricane Group would use all its power to completely destroy the sect.
In fact, to the Hurricane Group, dealing with the Sacred Temple was as easy as blowing off dust. When it came to this, Jim knew his limits of course. But Gong Jie’s words were undoubtedly threatening.
Although Jim had doubts over Gong Jie’s words, he was still skeptical about the importance of these three hostages to the Hurricane Group. At least, the Hurricane Group was willing to sit down and negotiate with the Sacred Temple. This proved that the remaining three hostages still had some value to Hurricane.
The impatient look on Gong Jie’s face made Jim feel a little guilty.
Soon, the Sacred Temple sent an email, stating that the video would be confirmed at 8pm, international time.
…
8pm.
The Sacred Temple established communication with the Hurricane Group and sent a video call on time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGong Jie accepted the video call. Soon, a figure sitting on a chair appeared in the blurry image. Gradually, as the video self-adjusted, the image of Hua Jin’s figure became increasingly clearer.
The actor was trussed up and tied to a chair. Despite the black sack over his head, Gong Jie recognized him at a glance. From his silhouette, he could basically confirm that the hostage was the actor himself.
However, he seemed to be unconscious now. His head was drooped to the side, and his entire body was limp. He did not look like he was sitting at all. Instead, he was tied to a chair and looked lifeless.
Gong Jie had an ominous feeling. He gripped the table tightly but forced himself to calm down. “What’s wrong with him?”
He was afraid that something would happen to the actor, but he was even more afraid that this was a trap set by the Sacred Temple. Perhaps they were testing him to see how nervous he was about this hostage. Once the man showed signs of nervousness, the actor would be identified as an important hostage. This would give them a bargaining chip.
Hence, he did not show his nervousness and deliberately remained calm.
“Why isn’t he moving?” Gong Jie questioned in fluent English.
Through the screen, a masked cultist faced the camera and suddenly drew a saber from his back.
The blade had an icy edge!
