Chapter 212: Threat

Translator: Henyee Translations      Editor: Henyee Translations

Hearing Yaya’s words, Yunbao quickly looked at Gu Lin and said, “Eldest Uncle, let’s start quickly.”

Gu Lin called the manager and asked him to post a fire alarm message. Devon, who was scolding Lily in the house, received the message. He quickly pulled Lily out of the door and ran down the fire escape.

The lobby on the first floor had been cleared, and all the staff had been told to leave. The fire alarm information had been posted to Devon alone. He sensed that something was wrong when he reached the first floor.

There were a few men he didn’t know standing in the hall, and Cheng Xi was sitting on the sofa at the side, looking at him with a burning gaze that was no longer as obedient as before.

“I clearly cast an incantation. How did you tell others about this?” Devon pointed at Cheng Xi.

Yunbao stood in front of Cheng Xi and said like a little hero, “Auntie Cheng didn’t say it. I heard it.”

Only then did Devon notice that there was a little girl, but he did not believe that Yunbao had heard it. He only thought that there was a powerful wizard among these people. He grabbed Lily and said, “If you stop me, I’ll kill this child. ”

Cheng Xi shouted, “No, don’t hurt Lily.”

To everyone’s surprise, Lily did not cry. She did not even show any fear. She just looked at Cheng Xi and said, “Mom, don’t give in. Even if she kills me, don’t go back. As long as Mom can be free, I’m willing to die.”

Lily had been abused by Devin since she was born. She was used to being scolded and beaten every day. Only her mother was willing to protect her and be good to her, so Lily didn’t care if she survived. All she wanted was for her mother to escape from this life.

Hearing Lily say this, Cheng Xi cried even harder. “Without you, Mommy will never be able to obtain true freedom.”

The mother and daughter loved each other. Such a scene made one’s heart ache. Even if they were not doing well, they tried their best to think for each other.

Gu Lin said to Devon, “If you let her go now, everything will be negotiable. Otherwise, I’ll definitely make you regret being born in the world.”

Initially, Gu Lin only helped because of his sister’s request. But now that he looked at the skinny Lily, Gu Lin thought of Yunbao from the past.

When they received the call to go to the Wang family to save her, Yunbao was so thin and covered in wounds. If he didn’t save this little girl, she probably wouldn’t survive.

Devon was not afraid of such a threat at all. He strangled Lily and said, “I’m not afraid of anything. If you want her to live, let Cheng Xi come back to me.”

After saying that, he exerted strength in his hand. Lily closed her eyes in pain and could not breathe. Cheng Xi cried, “I’ll go back. I’ll go back now. Let go.” Devon let go. “If you don’t come over, I’ll strangle her right now.”

Cheng Xi wiped the tears off her face and said to Gu Teng, “Thank you for helping me, but I can’t watch Lily suffer.”

Gu Teng pulled her back. “We still have other ways. Even if you submit to him for a moment in exchange for peace, he won’t let you and your daughter off in the future.”

“I know,” Cheng Xi said helplessly. “But I can’t just watch Lily die?’

Yunbao took out her wand and said, “Aunt Cheng, don’t go over. I will definitely save Sister Lily.”

With that, she rushed over. Fourth Brother, Gu Yu, also followed to protect Yunbao. The uncle and niece began to cooperate.

Devon also took out his wand to counterattack, but he did not let go of Lily. He knew that Lily was his bargaining chip to threaten Cheng Xi. Without Lily, Cheng Xi would definitely not come back.

Devon’s cultivation was not low. Yunbao and Gu Yu could not defeat him even if they joined forces. Xiao Jing ignited the flames of the God of War and joined the battle, but Devon had been using Lily as a shield, preventing everyone from using their full strength.

“You’d better hurry up and bring Cheng Xi back to my side. You can’t beat me,” Devon said proudly.

At this moment, Gu Yu received a message from overseas. After reading it, he said, “We don’t have a choice at the moment, but you still have a house and a company overseas. Don’t you want those anymore?

Devon didn’t expect this person to threaten him with the company, but he definitely couldn’t let Cheng Xi leave him. He roared, “The company can be rebuilt and the house can be purchased again. I only want my wife!”

Gu Yu sneered, “You think too highly of yourself. With the power and means of our the Gu family, you won’t be able to get them back..”
