Chapter 503
“Ms. Yates, are you satisfied with your current situation? Yerick asked, donning a long
camel–colored coat and carrying a pink suitcase. Cynthia’s eyes rested on the luggage.
She suspected that the animosity between Yerick and Joshua might be connected to the
owner of this pink suitcase. Maintaining her composure, she continued her verbal dance
with Yerick,” Possessing illegal firearms, operating a private armed force; do you realize
the number of years you could be sentenced for these crimes?”
“I do, but what does that matter? Yerick replied casually.
A frustrated crease formed on Cynthia’s forehead. This was not going her way.
“Boss, our guest has arrived,” one of the bodyguards announced.
Upon hearing the news, a satisfied smirk graced verick’s lips. “Bring him in.

his complexion appear pale. Nonetheless, his aura of cool indifference remained
undiminished. As Cynthia met his gaze, he, too, looked back. In their silent exchange,
Joshua confirmed that Cynthia was unharmed, and he proceeded to negotiate with Yerick.
Despite being the captive, he emanated a commanding presence as though he was the
host. “Now that I’m here, you can state your objective.”
“Of course,” Yerick responded with a sly smile.
Just as Joshua was about to speak, Cynthia suddenly found the barrel of a gun pressed
against her temple. His pupils contracted as the aura around him turned icy cold. “Let her
go
“I can do that,” Yerick replied, playing with a knife in his other hand. He spun it once
before handing it over. “Take this knife and slit your left wrist. Continue until your blood
stains this stone red.” Yerick motioned toward a nearby stone, marked with
a circle.
Joshua glanced at it. “If I do this, will you let her go?
“Correct.” Yerick nodded.
As Joshua reached for the knife, Cynthia, seemingly realizing what was about to happen,
attempted to stop him. “Joshua, don’t take it!”
The pink suitcase, the demand to sit his wrist…
A girl! Yerick was exacting his revenge on Joshua all because of a girl.
“Yerick, I know what your aim is. You are being somewhat childish in your actions, don’t
you think?” At last, Cynthia saw glimmer of hope.
“If you think my actions are childish, you’ve guessed my motives incorrectly.” Yerick was
convinced she had not figured out his motives. Looking at Joshua’s suspended hand, he

to suffer.”
Joshua cast a glance at Cynthia. From the comer of her eye, Cynthia spotted Nadia, who
had circled back from the sea, and a daring yet risky idea sprung into her mind. She
conveyed a signal to Joshua through her eyes.
That look
It made Joshua question if he had misinterpreted Cynthia’s intentions.
“Three.” Yerick began to count.
Cynthia continued to signal with her eyes.
At that moment, Joshua confirmed Cynthia’s intent. He reached out to grasp the knife from
Verick’s band. The moment it was in his possession, he quickly flipped it and, in an
unexpected turn of events, held it against Yerick’s throat!
“Boss!” the bodyguards exclaimed in surprise.
