Chapter 854

The next second, the door was suddenly kicked open. Elisabeth stepped back. Gavin and Zander both looked up to see Elizabeth calmly raising her hands, stepping back, and soothingly saying, “Put the gun down.”

It was then that Gavin noticed the man in front of them, holding a gun. “Hand over the valuables, or she dies,” the man glared at Gavin.

Elizabeth and Gavin exchanged glances. Gavin was confused, not knowing what to do. It was his first time encountering such a situation. Elizabeth shook her head. “What valuables? We’re just here for a meal! What do you want?”

As Gavin asked, Zander quietly kicked Elizabeth’s bag under the table. He moved very slowly and lightly. The two robbers were focused on Gavin and Elizabeth. The man roared, “Take out your valuables! The valuable ones!”

“The valuable things were on that girl earlier. Didn’t you take her away?” Elizabeth’s tone was calm, relatively calm.

“Do you really not care about that girl’s life?” he said bluntly.

Gavin didn’t understand. “What do you mean? It’s one thing to rob us, but are you going to kill her too? Aren’t you being too arrogant?”

“You out-of-towners are the most dishonest,” the man tightly gripped the shotgun and aimed it at Elizabeth’s head. “Two hundred thousand dollars, and I’ll let her go.”

Elizabeth laughed. A mere two hundred thousand dollars, and they thought it was worth pulling a gun. “I don’t care about her. Get lost,” Elizabeth said coldly.

The man said, “You don’t care about your companion?”

“What companion? She’s more like a stranger to me. Why should I care about her life? Do you think you can threaten me with her? Then I have to say, you’re too naive.” Elizabeth took a step forward.

The man immediately stepped back, cursing, “Don’t move!!”

“What are you afraid of? Don’t you have a gun? Are you afraid of me?” Elizabeth squinted, her eyes scrutinizing. She was looking for an opportunity, figuring out how to subdue this man.

The man was equally cautious. They had fought earlier, and Elizabeth was not weak! If he got distracted, he could be the one to die. But facing Elizabeth, he was also in a tough spot. He had come this far; he wouldn’t leave empty-handed.

The man gritted his teeth. Seeing Elizabeth wouldn’t budge, he turned his gaze to Zander. Although Zander was very low-key, everyone knew he had a research institute in Dream City. With someone from a research institute, how bad could it be?

Gavin noticed the man’s scrutiny and immediately stepped in front of Zander, shouting, “What are you trying to do?”

“Get out of the way!” The other man stepped forward and pushed Gavin aside.

“Don’t touch Mr. Divon,” Elizabeth had to protect Zander.

Gavin shouted, “If you have a problem, come at me. If you dare touch my grandpa, I won’t spare you!”

Zander calmly pushed Gavin aside. Zander earnestly questioned, “Haven’t you had enough of this life of robbery?”

“What do you know! If we don’t rob, we’ll be the ones getting robbed! How could you rich people understand?” The man’s angry shout seemed to awaken something. This city had become like this. Either be completely evil, or be like Zander, a good person who turned a blind eye! He wanted to be a good person too, but did he have the means? He wanted to survive, he wanted to live, so he had to rob!

“Hurry, give me your valuables!” The man pushed the gun closer to Elizabeth. Elizabeth’s heart raced. The man stepped forward, and suddenly, the phone of the man behind him rang. He put it on speaker, and they heard someone say, “That woman has a watch, it’s valuable! Get her watch!”

Elizabeth’s face slowly turned cold.
