Chapter 720 Chaotic Situation (25) Mutual Destruction
Gideon stared coldly at Francis, his face extremely grim.
"Stop him!" Gideon ordered.
The guards were about to approach Francis when he shouted, "Who dares to move!"
He pulled out a grenade.
The guards were stunned.
Gideon was clearly also shocked by Francis's actions.
Has Harry gone mad?
Does Harry really not care about his life anymore?
Gideon glared fiercely at Francis in front of him.
In his eyes, Gideon truly saw death.
He couldn't see any desire for life in Francis; all he saw was a deathly stillness, devoid of any emotion.
Even when Cecilia was determined to die, it was never like this.
Cecilia still had a longing for the world.
No. He couldn't die with this insignificant Harry!
His eyes narrowed.
Just as he was about to turn and leave.
Francis suddenly stepped forward, directly blocking Gideon.
Because Francis was covered in explosives and holding a grenade, no one else dared to stop him.
Given the threat Francis posed, if he detonated, the entire villa would be destroyed, and no one inside would survive.
In this world, the most terrifying people are those who are not afraid to die.
Gideon couldn't leave.
He looked at Francis in front of him, watching him smile with an unusual evilness.
He said, "Release Cecilia!"
Gideon's eyes narrowed, glaring fiercely at Francis, at this suddenly unrecognizable man.
At that moment, Gideon seemed to understand all the reasons.
Harry must be connected to Alaric.
If they weren't connected, how could Alaric know he had hidden Cecilia here?
How could Alaric know his hideout was here?
"Cecilia, you've been deceiving me all along!" Gideon suddenly shouted in Cecilia's direction.
Cecilia endured.
"Having Harry sell this place to me was also part of your plan, wasn't it?"
"So what if it was?" Cecilia didn't answer; Francis spoke for her. "What, do you still want to like Cecilia?"
Gideon was clearly embarrassed by Francis's words.
Francis laughed mockingly, "Gideon, how can you be so shameless! Cecilia is pregnant; she has a husband. How can you like her?"
"Shut up!"
"Did I hit a sore spot? I didn't expect you to live so many years and actually fall for a woman, did you? And Cecilia is a married woman." Francis deliberately provoked Gideon.
"I told you to shut up!" Gideon raised his gun, aiming at Francis.
Everyone has their limits.
Gideon couldn't accept that he would fall for Cecilia. To be precise, he couldn't accept any feelings that were out of his control. The dangers and conspiracies he had experienced since childhood made him unable to trust anyone, let alone fall in love.
Francis looked at Gideon's black gun without a trace of fear. He said, "If you shoot, we all die together!"
Gideon was trembling with anger, "You think I don't dare?"
"Of course you dare!" Francis affirmed, "And you know I dare too."
After speaking, Francis took a step forward, pressing Gideon further.
Gideon's grip on the gun tightened.
When Francis was very close, he pulled the trigger.
From birth, Gideon never thought he could live like this forever.
He was actually tired of his life full of conspiracies.
Death was just a form of release.
But at that moment, he glanced at Cecilia in the corner.
In the end, he still let Cecilia die with him.
Actually he never thought he wouldn't die.
He just inexplicably wanted to see her one last time at the moment of death.
Gideon's emotions flashed through his mind.
The bullet also burst from the gun.
But at that moment, Gideon's gun was suddenly lifted.
In an unexpected move, a guard leader beside him suddenly lifted his hand, causing the gun to fire into the air, still terrifying everyone in the villa.
No one wanted to die.
So at the last moment, his guard leader betrayed him.
Gideon glared at his subordinate, his face darkening, "Let go of me!"
"Sorry, Mr. Hotchner! I can't let all my comrades die with you!" The guard leader's face was cold and clear.
At the same time, he exerted force.
Gideon's hand hurt, and the tightly held gun fell to the ground.
Gideon's face was extremely grim.
"Are you betraying me?" Gideon, suddenly betrayed, glared at him with bloodshot eyes.
The guard leader didn't speak.
But the fact was clear.
"What, are you Alaric's spy? When did he buy you off?" Gideon asked.
"Now." The guard leader replied.
Gideon's face darkened.
In fact, he wasn't lying.
He wasn't bought off by Alaric because he was loyal before. If Alaric had dared to do so, he would have killed him and informed Gideon.
His current actions were just to avoid dying with Gideon.
The guards here had followed the Hotchner family for many years.
But Gideon never considered letting them live.
From beginning to end, he wanted to drag them to die with him.
He knew that once he betrayed, he would be despised, but at this point, he could only choose this way to protect himself!
"You!" Gideon's face twisted with rage, his eyes full of bloodlust.
Francis said, "Gideon, I didn't expect you to have a day like this..."
Before Francis could finish, Gideon grabbed Francis.
At that moment, he directly pulled off the detonation device on Francis.
Francis looked at Gideon.
Gideon looked at Francis the same way.
Gideon's smile was extremely sinister.
No one would leave.
If they were to die, they would all die together!
Francis suddenly hugged Gideon tightly.
Gideon's body tensed.
At that moment, Francis, like a madman, dragged Gideon outside.
With all his strength, even dragging Gideon's body, he crazily rushed outside.
Cecilia and Dashiell also saw Francis's actions.
He was using the last bit of detonation time to get away from them.
Francis wanted more people to survive.
No.
Without thinking, Dashiell rushed over.
But just as he was about to reach Francis, the entire villa shook.
Dashiell was thrown back by the powerful explosion.
Cecilia, hiding in the corner.
Also felt the strong impact, tightly covering her body.
Cecilia's tears wouldn't stop.
