Chapter 172 Explosion
Sebastian's words stunned both Brooklyn and Loren.
Brooklyn was shocked to realize that in Sebastian's mind, MBK Group was indeed more important than her own life.
Loren was surprised, "Second thoughts?"
To their surprise, Sebastian casually remarked, "There's no need to waste a bullet to kill her. Lend me a dagger. Don't worry. I'm unarmed. With so many guns pointed at me, do you think I could escape?"
The indifference in Sebastian's demeanor today was too unpredictable.
Brooklyn was so intimidated that she couldn't even come up with a suitable response. Covered in blood, she watched Sebastian interact with Loren, completely at a loss on how to react.
Loren was taken aback, "Trade all this for a dagger?"
Sebastian maintained his previous posture, even brushing off the dust from his body with some disdain, making his clothes clean and tidy again.
"What? Don't you want it? If so, I don't care. We're all going to die anyway, and her dying by my hands isn't that important."
But that document required his signature.
Loren hesitated deeply. This document was nothing ordinary. MBK Group's wealth could rival that of a small country, and Sebastian was the wealthiest man!
"Fine! I'll give you a dagger!"
Sebastian sneered disdainfully, a hint of scorn curling his thin lips. His meticulously sculpted face revealed an unmasked callousness. "Very well. After I kill her, I'll sign it. But, please find a pen for me."
Loren handed the dagger to him, "Don't try anything stupid!"
Loren waved his hand, and a dozen guns simultaneously aimed at the back of Sebastian's head. Life and death hung in the balance!
Step by step, Sebastian approached Brooklyn. He expertly toyed with the dagger as if it were a handy. "Foolish Brooklyn, it's time to settle our accounts."
Confused, Brooklyn couldn't help but want to believe. It wasn't a simulation but too real! No, this was real!
So Brooklyn also smiled. After nearly four years, she couldn't escape it in the end. Whether it was a spiritual death or a physical one, she would die by his hands. "Go ahead, Sebastian. It's time for us to end."
She closed her eyes, ready to face death.
Suddenly leaning in close to her ear, Sebastian whispered, "At six o'clock, by the window. When I give you the signal, jump down. The car will be below the window."
Brooklyn's eyes widened!
What?
"You don't deserve a quick death. How about I start by cutting off your hand? How's that?"
He grinned mischievously, the dagger swaying in her hand.
"If you want to kill me, just do it. Yes, I hate you, Sebastian. You had a child with another woman but wouldn't even acknowledge my identity. I hate you! You cheated on me, so I did so. What's wrong with that?"
The onlookers were dumbfounded. What on earth was happening?
With a red dot aimed at his head, Sebastian could be shot at any moment, so he had to ensure everything was foolproof!
"Mr. Kingsley, how ruthless."
"I am dealing with my woman. Shut up!"
With that, Sebastian raised the dagger high.
"Look at me, and don't move. When I cut the rope, run! Don't look back and jump."
Brooklyn was speechless with astonishment.
"Three, two..."
The dagger sliced through her hands at an inexplicable angle!
All the ropes binding her arms and body were cut!
It wasn't a trick; it was real. Brooklyn thought the ropes on her hand had been severed! So did Loren and the snipers.
Out of habit, everyone closed their eyes for a moment!
It took just one second.
"One!"
As the word "one" was shouted, Brooklyn rolled out of the circle of gasoline cans and jumped out of the window without hesitation!
Brooklyn's instinct for survival, combined with Sebastian's intimidation, made her unsure of what she was doing. But she jumped and survived!
Foam covered the ground! Where did the foam come from?!
Brooklyn got up, controlled her trembling hands, and pulled open the car door!
Wait! Where was Sebastian?
"Sebastian! What kind of scheme are you playing!"
Loren realized he had been tricked!
Sebastian had set up a trap to help her escape!
"Get her!"
"Nobody moves!"
Sebastian suddenly pulled out a gun and aimed the gasoline cans!
"Anyone moves, we all go down together."
Sebastian released the safety, and with a circle of gasoline cans around him, if a shot went off, the house would be blown to bits.
The gasoline cans, originally meant to be used against Sebastian, were now being used by Sebastian.
They could cry all they wanted to.
Brooklyn slammed the steering wheel in frustration, "Damn it! Sebastian, you fool! You fool!"
But Brooklyn couldn't leave. She couldn't abandon him. They had to die together.
However, Brooklyn's intelligence had remained with her. Sebastian had let her out, and no one came to pursue her. He must have held them back!
Brooklyn opened the window on the passenger side and began counting down in her mind. If Sebastian didn't come out in ten minutes, she would go up!
The gun in Sebastian's hand was extraordinary, evident from its configuration and appearance. It was a top-notch gun, even more advanced than their sniper rifles.
"It seems you recognize the weapon in my hand." His thin lips curled slightly, and his deep eyes suddenly exuded a chilling aura, like a demon, enveloped in a coldness that permeated his entire being.
"Put down the gun! Mr. Kingsley, you are worth tens of billions of dollars. Why are you doing this?"
Sebastian's deepeyes looked at the dozen snipers who had already approached. If not for the gasoline cans, he would have been riddled with bullets.
"I can play this game with you to the end, can you?"
As he spoke, he measured angles and distances with his peripheral vision, his feet pointing in a certain direction. Time was running out, and he feared Brooklyn might lose her nerve and come up to her death.
'Foolish Brooklyn, wait for me!'
Sebastian began the countdown.
As a gasoline can he kicked flew out, it merged with a bullet fired!
A loud explosion and towering flames simultaneously erupted in the spacious hall on the second floor!
In the soaring flames, Sebastian leaped out of the window like a fish.
