Chapter 1459 Threat

Stab! The sound of the blade piercing flesh was heard. However, it wasn't Doreen who was

injured, but Hugh.

He didn't have time to react to the critical moment at all. He saw a flash of light and

instinctively shielded Doreen, taking the sharp dagger into his back. He let out a muffled

groan in pain.

Doreen's pupils constricted in fear, and she tried to look at him, but he held her tightly.

"Hugh!" she called out desperately.

Hugh quickly reassured her, "Don't worry, General. I'm okay."

That said, he was motionless.

Lucian hadn't expected his initial thrust to miss Doreen, so he made another attempt only

to hear a menacing voice from behind. "Lucian, stop right there!"

At that, he turned around to find Albert holding Beatrix hostage.

Instantly, he turned pale with a slight frown. He had instructed Beatrix to leave through

the back door earlier, so how had she ended up in Albert's hands?

"Let her go!"

Lucian, being shrewd, quickly released the immobilized Hugh and pressed the pen-like

dagger against Doreen's neck.

A collective gasp filled the room, but no one dared to make any sudden moves, fearing

that Lucian might harm Doreen.

Albert's countenance shifted instantly. "Lucian, look at the situation now. Do you really

think you can make it out of this alive?"

Lucian surveyed the surroundings. His men had already been subdued by Doreen and

Eugene's people. At this moment, it was just the two of them, one posing a threat to

others and the other being threatened.

The situation was indeed unfavorable, but...

"We won't know unless we try, right? Release Beatrix. She has nothing to do with this."

Beatrix's panicked face was streaked with tears as she pleaded with Alice. "No, it's not

true. Everything my father did was for my sake. Alice is also your daughter. Spare him,

please, Alice."

Despite her deep-seated dislike for Alice, she was willing to compromise for Lucian's sake

at this moment.

Alice slowly descended from the platform and looked at Lucian. "Alright, everything's

negotiable if you let go of General Bleu."

Lucian chuckled lightly. "You think I'm as naive and gullible as you, Alice? Without Doreen's

masterful planning on your side, you'd have died dozens of times already. Now, arrange a

helicopter for me and Beatrix to leave. Once we're on the plane, I'll release Doreen.

Otherwise, you'll be dealing with her lifeless body today!"

Alice glanced at the dagger in Lucian's trembling hand, which had already nicked Doreen's

neck, but she remained silent.

Due to Doreen's physical condition, she couldn't suffer even the slightest injury, as it

would be difficult for the wound to heal.

Despite her inner anxiety, she maintained her composure. "I know neither you nor Beatrix

have any affection for me, and you blame Mother for passing the throne to me. I

understand that you merely wish your daughter to inherit the throne, but this position isn't

as glamorous as you imagine, and I don't cherish power as much as you think. If you and

your sister had approached me for a discussion instead of resorting to this method to

snatch it from me, I might have agreed. General Bleu's health is fragile, and I am offering

to exchange myself for her. Using me as leverage is a more significant bargaining chip

than her."

"No!" Olivia exclaimed.

"No!" Albert echoed.

Even Doreen, who was slightly slower in responding, firmly said, "You don't need to."

Alice felt a pang of emotion. She often believed she couldn't do anything right, yet many

still cared about her.

"It's alright." She smiled at them before turning to Lucian. "Do you see that, Lucian? I am a

greater bargaining chip than General Bleu, and they will be more susceptible to your

threat."

By doing this, Alice hoped that during the hostage exchange, a sniper could take the

opportunity to eliminate Lucian. While it posed a risk to herself, only she could potentially

force Lucian to compromise.
