Chapter 822
Chapter 822 Safe At Last
Bianca pointed at the leader of the thugs and whispered into Luke's ear, "I wasn't violated, Luke. The man they call 'Blackhook' toldto put up an act with him. He was also the one who swapped the drugs that they inject into our children. Can you... spare his life?"
Luke furrowed his brows. He glanced at Bianca's pale face, then at the tanned and impassive leader of the thugs.
He hesitated for a second before ordering Gale and Rain, "Spare the man named Blackhook. Kill everyone else!"
Gale nodded, and a perverse smile appeared on his young face. "Don't worry, Mr. Crawford. I'll let them experience a fate worse than death!"
Gale and Rain grew up on the Island of Despair. They had vivid memories of the cruel methods of punishment there.
Luke continued to walk out of the factory with Bianca in his arms, casting a proud and invulnerable shadow behind him.
The sharp-faced thug covered his head and trembled as he stood next to Kassy. "What should we do now, Ms. Kassy?"
They were at a complete disadvantage. Luke's mercenaries had brought all sorts of heavy weaponry to fight them. There were the grenades that had broken their defenses, the rocket launchers on the mercenaries' shoulders, and many heavy machine guns.

Kassy's heart sank further into despair as she watched Luke leave. "Don't go, Matthew! How can you treatlike this? You won't kill me, I know it... please, don't leave..." She roared with all her might.
Gale stepped over and stood in front of her, blocking her way. "Please stop resisting, Ms. Kassy!" "Get lost, Gale, you traitor! You're only a lowly minion in the League of Shadows. How dare you stand in my way?" Kassy spat a mouthful of blood and saliva at him and tried to claw him with her razor-sharp fingernails."
Get out of my way!"
She tried her best to crawl forward before two mercenaries picked her up by her arms and tossed her onto a pile of scrap metal as though tossing a bag of garbage. She was temporarily disoriented from the fall.
Bianca glanced at Kassy, then at her crippled legs. That woman who had been as proud as a peacock, but she was incomparably pathetic now.
The blood trails that she left as she crawled on the floor were horrifying to look at...
Thinking that Kassy had once saved Luke's life, Bianca began to feel pity for her. "Luke, how about we... spare her life too? The children and I suffered a huge fright, but we weren't really hurt. After all, she once saved your life. If not for her, I might not be able to see you again... Why not treat this as returning your debt of gratitude to her? I don't think you'll be at ease if you kill her." i
Bianca was worried that Luke's conscience might not allow him to kill that woman.
The man might seem merciless, but Bianca knew that he had a kind heart. He would not be able to disregard the fact that Kassy had saved his life.
More importantly, if Luke killed Kassy, his reputation among the general public would fall even further, and that might cause T Corporation to lose business.
Luke thought for a while before gently kissing Bianca's hair fringe. "Alright, I'll listen to you. However, I might spare her life, but she won't go unpunished. She'll have to pay the price for abducting you and our children! If I cany later, you and the children would have been killed. I'll let her have a taste of her own medicine. She enjoys seeing you being violated, right? I'll make sure that she won't be able to see a thing for the rest of her life!"
The man's voice suddenly sounded cold and hostile. When Kassy heard that, her entire body started to shake violently.
"Please, no, Matthew, I was wrong. I swear that I won't do it again. You've already crippled me. You can't take my eyes away too, please..."
Luke ignored Kassy's sorrowful wails and walked toward the helicopter.
Bianca curled up in Luke's embrace, feeling Luke's strong and warm presence around her. Her wilted heart was slowly reviving.
They had not left the factory for too long before Bianca heard a bloodcurdling cry cout from inside.
The cry sounded like it was made by a ghost, and it had pierced the skies.
The cry was cut short, as though someone had gagged the woman's mouth.
Bianca began to shiver and leaned closer to Luke.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe man hugged her tighter when he sensed her fear. "Don't be afraid. No one will harm you anymore. If there's anyone who dares to harm you, I'll make sure that they suffer!"
On the private plane, Luke placed Bianca on a soft bed, and Johann cto examine her.
With Luke next to her, Bianca was fully at ease by then.
She was already at her physical limit after trying to put on a strong front for so long.
Suddenly, she remembered her three children that were also brought up on the airplane. She held Johann's hand and said weakly, "Please tend to the children, Johann. I'm fine, but I'm afraid that something happened to them ... Luke, can you bringto see the children?"
She sounded almost like she was begging.
The man had placed all his attention on Bianca and had not cared about his children at all. That made Bianca wonder if he was actually their birth father.
Luke shot a glare at Johann when he saw Bianca holding Johann's hand.
That made Johann break out in a cold sweat.
He chuckled drily and pulled his hand away. "Don't worry, Sis. Other doctors are attending to the children. I've already examined them, and they're really fine. We've already sent a sample of the drugs to the lab for analysis. You look like you’re in pretty bad shape, though. I should treat you as soon as I can. Otherwise, it'll leave a scar."
Luke shot a cold glance at Johann and said, "Leave the medicine here. You can get lost."
He waved his hand, and everyone else in the room left. After he locked the door, only he and Bianca remained in the luxury cabin...
