Chapter 629 Do Not Hurt My Wife!
The battle was about to begin.
Ryder could tell from Rex's serious expression that these five bodyguards wouldn't be easy opponents. Yet Rex showed no fear. Instead, his voice dripped with contempt, "Pfft! A bunch of losers. Come on! Show me what you've got!"
His words made the four bodyguards who were about to join the fight pause in surprise.
"Shit, I'm gonna beat you to a pulp!"
"Can't believe we're being looked down on by some country bumpkin!"
"Enough talk—let's take him down!"
The bodyguard who had already exchanged blows with Rex wasn't looking quite as cocky as before.
He warned the others, "Don't underestimate him! This guy has incredible strength and skill—he's definitely not an easy target!"
The battle officially began. Five against one—completely dishonorable! But Rex wasn't afraid.
Fists and feet collided in intense combat. From Ryder's perspective, it was obvious these five bodyguards were well-trained and worked together seamlessly.
Each attack was precise and brutal, creating an unstoppable offensive.
Rex, meanwhile, had to monitor attacks from five directions simultaneously, blocking and defending! The situation looked extremely unfavorable for him.
Ryder felt a knot of anxiety for his friend. His own fighting skills were nowhere near good enough—if he jumped in, he'd probably be knocked down immediately.
So he could only remain on the sidelines. But he had keen eyes that could read the battlefield.
"Rex, fighting without strategy will drain your energy! Listen to me now!"
Rex, still in the midst of combat, responded, "Got it!"
So Ryder became the strategist, directing from the side, "The guy in front has a slower left leg than right—attack his left side!"
"Watch behind you! That skinny guy has muscular arms—break his elbow!"
"Quick, use a roundhouse kick! That one's top-heavy with an unstable stance—take him down!"
Rex followed each instruction perfectly.
Sure enough, the four bodyguards who had joined the fight were all taken down one after another. They lay on the ground, barely moving, unable to get up.
"Damn, you've actually got some skills!" Only the lead bodyguard remained.
Now he could only stare wide-eyed while backing away frantically. "If you're so tough, stop listening to your friend's directions and fight me one-on-one like a real man!"
The lead bodyguard was desperately clinging to his last shreds of arrogance and dignity.
Rex scoffed. "Five against one is fair to you? A bunch of kidnappers with no honor! You're society's trash! I don't need to play nice with you!"
As the bodyguard tried to run, Rex grabbed him by the neck and lifted him off the ground. "Dare to hurt someone I care about, and I won't spare you even if you beg for mercy!"
With that, Rex tightened his grip and hurled the lead bodyguard like a cannonball. The sound of a body hitting the ground was followed by—
BANG!
Suddenly, the crack of a gunshot.
BANG!
Another shot rang out.
Rex staggered and fell to his knees. Wearing light-colored athletic pants, the blood gushing from his thigh wounds was clearly visible. Both legs had been shot!
"Rex!" Ryder, seeing the dire situation, rushed to his side. But just as he helped Rex up, five guns were simultaneously aimed at their heads.
Facing this situation, Ryder and Rex exchanged a glance, slowly raising their hands in surrender. Fine! They'd figure something out after seeing Sarah and Barbara.
Meanwhile, inside the RV...
Barbara lay motionless on the floor. Her wedding dress was in complete disarray—the skirt especially was so torn it was unrecognizable.
The once-white gown was now blooming with crimson stains that chilled the blood.
Thinking about the monstrous things Tyler had just done to Barbara, Sarah felt ice form in her heart. It was beyond horrific.
Because Barbara had called Tyler impotent, he had enraged again and once more assaulted her until she passed out from the pain.
Tyler, seeing Barbara no longer resisting his abuse, grew bored. He turned his attention to Sarah. "Now, let's get to the main event!"
Hearing this, Sarah's body trembled. Her mind raced. It seemed she and Barbara wouldn't escape this nightmare today. At the very least, she would avenge Barbara before she died.
With her decision made, Sarah pleaded through tears, "Could you... could you be gentle with me? Not so rough?"
"What?" Tyler was caught off guard by Sarah's words. "What are you playing at?"
Sarah gave a bitter smile. "Nothing... I just know I can't escape today, so rather than resist, why not cooperate?"
"Well, aren't you a smart woman who knows her place!"
"Look, it's just the two of us in here—Barbara's unconscious. So untie me. Don't worry, I can't escape anyway! Besides, didn't you say you were going to give me to your boss? Maybe I should learn some skills first. I'm completely clueless about bedroom matters—why don't you teach me?"
As Sarah spoke, tears clung to her lashes, her expression shy and enticing. Tyler was completely captivated.
Excitedly, he asked, "You've been married to Ryder for three years and you're still a virgin?"
Sarah blinked, pouting, "How could I be with a pathetic weakling like Ryder? We sleep in separate beds! Actually, I've always admired men like you, Mr. Young."
"Good, good, good! In that case, let me show you what real pleasure feels like!"
Sarah nodded. "If that's the case, Mr. Young, could you untie me first?"
"Of course, of course, I'll untie you right away!"
So Tyler eagerly stepped forward and untied Sarah's restraints. The next second, Sarah grabbed an ashtray from the coffee table and swung it at Tyler's head.
But he intercepted it mid-swing. "I knew you'd try something! Ready to behave now?"
Tyler tossed the ashtray aside and advanced on Sarah. Gripping her chin, he forced a pill into her mouth! With one swallow, Sarah had no choice but to take it.
Her beautiful eyes now filled with despair. Whatever Tyler had given her couldn't be good.
And Ryder, where are you? I... I can't hold on much longer!
Suddenly, someone knocked on the RV door. The next moment, without waiting for a response from inside, the door opened.
"Didn't I make it clear that no one disturbs me unless they want to die?" Tyler's veins bulged with anger at the interruption.
"These two men—they're the ones you're looking for, right? If so, we don't need to set the timer on the bomb anymore. No need to attract police attention and create more trouble."
The expressionless bodyguards threw Rex and Ryder into the room.
"Ryder?" "Rex?" Inside the RV, both Tyler and Sarah stared wide-eyed at Ryder and Rex as they were dragged in.
In that moment, Sarah's eyes held not just despair, but fear for them both. "Tyler, please let Ryder, Rex, and Barbara go! I promise I'll do whatever you say and go with you! Please?"
However, Tyler wrapped an arm around Sarah's slender waist. He raised an eyebrow at Ryder. "Hahaha! Let them go? Dream on! Not only am I going to have your wife, I'm going to do it right in front of you! Then I'll kill both you men!"
Seeing Ryder and Rex securely bound, Tyler was ecstatic.
"Tyler, you wouldn't dare!" Seeing Tyler manhandle Sarah this way, Ryder's eyes turned bloodred with murderous intent. "Tyler, take your hands off her! Sarah isn't someone you can touch casually!"
"Hahaha! Ryder, please understand the situation. I have the upper hand now. You're just a dog waiting to be slaughtered!"
For the first time, Tyler had a massive advantage over Ryder. At this moment, more than lust, revenge against Ryder was his priority.
So he shoved Sarah aside, stepped forward and kicked Ryder hard in the stomach!
Still not satisfied, he kicked again and again until his toes went numb.
"Alright, kicking you isn't that interesting. Now I'm going to have some fun with your wife! I want to hear you howl and see that look on your face—wanting to kill me but unable to do anything! Hahaha!"
"The hospital gave you a diagnosis, Tyler—you're impotent! And if you dare touch my wife, I swear I'll make sure you never have children!"
Ryder decided to buy time by provoking Tyler. This way, he could keep Tyler's attention focused on himself—to protect Sarah.
Sure enough, Tyler exploded at these words: "You're talking nonsense! You're the useless one!"
With his sore spot hit, Tyler became completely enraged. Ryder thought the situation would develop as he planned, but unexpectedly, Tyler grabbed Sarah and shoved her to the floor.
He turned to the five bodyguards who had entered. "Look at her. Don't you find her tempting? And I've already drugged her."
The bodyguards assessed Sarah—fair skin, full chest, long legs, and that exquisite face! She was truly a rare beauty.
They had seen many beautiful women in their lives, but never someone as stunning as Sarah.
To be honest, if their boss at Talon Assassins hadn't ordered them to cooperate with Tyler, there's no way they would have let someone like him get his hands on such a gorgeous woman.
The bodyguards all swallowed hard, nodding in agreement.
Tyler was pleased with their reaction. He ordered, "In that case, share the wealth—take turns enjoying her!"
"No!" Ryder strained against his bonds, glaring at Tyler with fury.
"I'll kill you!" Rex was equally enraged, struggling like a bull to break free of the ropes.
Tyler just shrugged indifferently, laughing maniacally, "I love that desperate look in your eyes, hahaha!"
"Really? We can have her?" At these words, the five bodyguards instantly forgot their earlier defeat by Rex, suddenly energized like they'd been injected with adrenaline.
They cracked their knuckles, eager, all moving toward Sarah.
"I'm going first!"
"No, I'm first!"
"Don't fight me for this!"
The bodyguards glared at each other.
"Stand down, I'm the boss, so I go first! Look at that delicate little body, mmm!"
The other bodyguards were unhappy but sighed and stepped back.
Seeing this, Ryder was heartbroken! He absolutely could not let this happen!
Suddenly, Ryder launched his body forward, crashing into the bodyguard who was about to pin Sarah down! "Don't you dare hurt my wife!"
Then, still bound, Ryder's body fell protectively on top of Sarah. Looking into her tear-filled eyes, he reassured her, "Don't be afraid, honey. I've got this!"
His tone was calm, but filled with deep love.
