Chapter 836 The Surprising Appearance of a Hero
Emmeline's heart was beating like a drum.
She had no idea if Jara had actually left in the nick of time after encountering some trouble.
Or he was just temporarily distracted, resulting in him not being able to turn up in time.
No matter what, she would never allow herself to fall into Skylar's hands.
As she thought about this, her gaze turned cold.
"Skylar, we've known each other for so many years, but you haven't seen my dart skills, have you?"
Hearing that, Skylar narrowed his eyes and before he could say anything, he heard a "whoosh".
A dart was thrown at him.
Instantaneously, his face turned cold, and he quickly spun his body to evade the attack.
However, those darts were flying in the direction of his movement as if they could sense him.
At the same time, Emmeline reversed her wheelchair to the door.
Realizing her intention, he smiled coldly. "Where do you think you are going?"
As he spoke, he had successfully avoided those darts and was rushing toward her.
Panicked, Emmeline lifted her leg to kick. However, while her leg was still in the air, Skylar swiftly grabbed and pulled it.
Immediately, she was being pulled away from her wheelchair into his arms.
With one hand, Skylar grabbed her leg while his other hand choked her neck. Then, he put his head on her shoulder and whispered evilly, "You are really cruel, Emmeline. Don't you know that with this kick, you can put an end to my sex life? How dare you!"
On the other hand, Emmeline's face was as cold as ice.
"Let me go, Skylar!"
"Why should I? I could barely get my hands on you."
As he spoke, he raised his head and looked outside.
"Oh, you're still waiting for Jara, aren't you? Too bad. He's not coming. I've sent people to loot his casino, and I believe he won't ignore the loss of tens of billions of cash. So, you'd better follow me back. In return, I'll tell you the reason I'm doing this."
When Emmeline heard that, her blood ran cold. However, at this moment, she heard a clear voice coming from outside.
"Who said I am not coming?"
Hearing that, Emmeline and Skylar were shocked. At once, they raised their heads.
Before their eyes, Jara was standing at the door with Quan. As the sunlight shone at his tall figure, he looked like he was glowing.
At once, Emmeline's eyes were swarmed with warm tears.
"Jara!"
After that, she struggled, trying to break free from Skylar's grasp.
Unfortunately, she couldn't as if the fingers on her neck were iron pliers.
Meanwhile, Skylar's face turned cold.
Obviously, he was surprised and disappointed at the same time.
While gritting his teeth, he rasped angrily, "You're unbelievable, Jara. You actually picked her over 40 billion dollars. Aren't you afraid that your loyal followers will be disappointed in you?"
With a grim expression, Jara stared at him.
"Why don't you worry about yourself instead? Once I spread out the news of your appearance, everyone will know how you betrayed the Salvation Club that year. With that, countless people will hunt you down for revenge. So, if you are smart enough, let her go, and I will spare your life!"
Nevertheless, Skylar suddenly burst into laughter.
Mockingly, he looked at Jara and said, "Looks like I've underestimated you. Since that's the case, what else can I say?"
With a pause, he suddenly bowed his head and whispered in Emmeline's ear, "I'll be back, Emmeline. Wait for me."
After that, without warning, he pushed Emmeline forward and retreated backward.
As Emmeline's legs were injured, she almost fell to the ground.
However, before her body touched the ground, a pair of strong arms firmly caught her.
Surprised, she raised her head and saw Jara with a serious expression.
At that moment, she could finally feel the weight off her shoulder.
Initially, she thought that Jara would put her in her wheelchair, but he directly carried her and walked out.
Emmeline's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously grabbed his clothes.
"Jara..."
Right away, Jara looked down at her.
His gaze was so deep that it made Emmeline's heart race faster.
For some reason, she suddenly forgot what she was about to say.
With that, Jara carried her outside.
Meanwhile, a group of bodyguards had surrounded the house. When Jara exited the door, he looked at one of them. Then, that bodyguard came to him with a worried expression and bowed his head slightly. "Mr. Holland, he has escaped."
Hearing that, Emmeline was stunned.
But to her surprise, Jara was not confounded. Moreover, he didn't blame that bodyguard.
On the contrary, he just responded with a nod, "Send some people to chase after him, and the rest shall return with me."
Upon receiving his order, that bodyguard answered loudly, "Yes, Mr. Holland!"
After that, everyone got in the car and left.
In the car.
It was a silent ride. Emmeline was sitting with Jara while Quan was driving in the front.
For a while, Jara did not speak. As Emmeline couldn't hold in her concern any longer, she turned to look at him and asked, "I heard Skylar said that something happened to the Lost Vanguard..."
"That's right."
On this point, Jara did not hide anything from her.
Nevertheless, he was afraid that she would worry too much, so he patted her head. "Don't worry. It's not a big deal."
Upon hearing that, Emmeline pursed her lips for a while before she finally nodded.
In the meantime, the car continued to travel at a steady pace.
Soon, they were out of the town.
"I didn't expect that he is really alive, and he has become a totally different person. Besides, what he said to me just now was something that I would never imagine him saying. I've been wondering this. From the beginning, did they lurk in the Salvation Club with other intentions, or someone bribed them later on? What do you think?" Emmeline whispered.
Then, she raised her head and looked at Jara.
At the same time, Jara's gaze fell on her.
His eyes were dim and dark, which contained a lot of complicated emotions.
In a deep voice, he responded, "Perhaps, both?"
After hearing what he answered, Emmeline was perplexed. "What do you mean by both?"
To that, Jara replied, "I've investigated their background and found that when they were young, they were all purchased by the same welfare center. Of course, that welfare center is no longer around now, but from this point alone, we could get some clue."
After that, he paused and suddenly changed the topic. "If they did enter the Salvation Club with an ulterior motive, what are you going to do about this?"
Emmeline was stunned.
The confusion in her eyes intensified.
It was obvious that she had never thought about this.
Even so, since Jara brought it up, she decided to give it some thought.
After all, he was right. What if they had other intentions from the very beginning?
And what if they deliberately approach her and make use of her to achieve their own goals?
