Chapter 241: Hope

“I heard that Frederick’s fiancée is the daughter of the Prescott family. How delicate and tender do you think she should be?”

“Yes, we have played with countless women over the years, but we have never played with such a woman.”

“Think about how great it must feel!”

“Hurry up. I can’t wait.”

Everyone was excited. Alan sat aside, waiting. Especially when he thought of Frederick’s painful expression, he became even more excited and impatient. Regardless of whether Frederick loved Claire or not, Alan believed Frederick must feel pain watching his fiancée being defiled.

Frederick was once so eye-catching and dazzling. As a man who once destroyed the world’s largest terrorist organization, Frederick now watched his fiancée being defiled and toyed with by terrorists.

Alan thought, “Frederick, I will trample on your dignity.” Alan was so excited that his eyes were bright.

Frederick looked at Claire, feeling the pain and torture in his body. His tightly clenched fists started to crackle. Suddenly, a voice came from his earphones.

“General Hawthorne? Can you hear me?”

Richard spent a day and a night mobilizing all available troops in Kingstown to secretly search for Frederick. The most advanced anti-shielding equipment in Kingstown was installed, and finally, the locator in Frederick’s ear received a signal. As soon as Richard saw that the signal was restored, he quickly called Frederick.

Frederick was shocked. He didn’t expect that the device could be used at this critical moment. He shuddered. The pain in his body still prevented him from getting up or even speaking. But Richard could hear it.

At this time, Claire, who knew nothing, was looking at the men and was preparing to fight to the death.

“Don’t come over here! Don’t!”

Claire didn’t have any weapons, only the knife that Alan gave her. She knew that she couldn’t escape. Although this dagger was small, it was covered with poison. Alan said that this poison would cause people to suffer within twenty hours and then die in pain. They didn’t know that Claire was actually very skilled and powerful. She decided to fight to the death.

It would be best if she could attack Alan when he was completely unprepared. At this moment, Claire, filled with guilt towards Frederick and determined to die, was more terrifying than she had ever been. But neither Alan nor his men knew about it.

“Oh, she has a strong character.”

“I haven’t met such a girl in a long time.”

“Yeah, but it’s more interesting, isn’t it?”

“Yeah! Guys, let’s do it together. It’ll be fun.”

Those men were excited and thought that Claire was a fierce girl.

“Okay, come on. If you are not afraid of death, come on together!”

Claire’s eyes were bloodshot, and she yelled at those people. Her hysterical voice was clearly heard by Richard through the locator in Frederick’s ear.

Richard said, “General Hawthorne, I heard Ms. Prescott’s voice. Is it inconvenient for you to answer me now? I understand. I just need to know that your locator is a valid signal.”

“Don’t worry. I’m coming with my men. When we get there, I’ll rescue you as quickly as possible.”

Richard didn’t know what was going on and swore to protect them. Frederick looked at Claire, thinking of the recording that Alan had just played and the fatal stab. Although Claire was deceived by Alan, she eventually stabbed him. Frederick was thinking about Anna’s death, Claire’s four years in prison, and everything he had done to Claire. Claire said those words in order to protect herself. But Frederick had to admit that what she said was true, and she did have reason to hate him.

He looked at Claire, who was fighting desperately with Alan’s men. For some reason, he suddenly wondered if she could hold on until Richard arrived.

Alan said, “Claire, if I were you, I wouldn’t be so foolish as to think of using such a knife to fight. It is basically useless. What’s more, you are a weak woman. If you don’t control it well, you will hurt yourself.”

“In that case, you will suffer and die like General Hawthorne.”

“Don’t you want to leave alive? If you kneel down, take off your clothes and serve my men, I will spare your life and let you go. How about that?”
