Chapter 922
Lucia glanced at Atticus.
If Fiona really let them go, she and Atticus would find a place where no one knew them, living the most ordinary life of an American couple; it seemed to be the best ending she could imagine for herself.
This way, Atticus could also survive.
"There won't be any traitors in the future." Lucia said softly, "Atticus, we won't have those days of bloodshed and killing anymore."
Atticus looked at the woman he had admired since his youth.
Lucia had lost her youthful vigor, her hair had turned white, and wrinkles had crept onto her face.
But in Atticus's eyes, she was no different from the girl who had suddenly entered his world on a spring day.
"Janna..." Atticus struggled to speak.
"It's all in the past." Lucia's eyes filled with tears. "From now on, we'll just be an ordinary couple, no more tycoons or dignitaries."
Atticus gasped heavily and said, "But how can you live an ordinary life?"
"Why not?" Lucia almost broke down.
She had been trying to persuade Atticus to escape, but he stubbornly refused.
Was it because he didn't want her to live a life on the run?
Atticus had given everything to her, but she had always treated him as a tool for revenge or a refuge from reality.
Lucia thought of Hathaway again.
When she left Y Country to come to Atticus, hadn't she also completely given up on her only daughter?
So, did Lucia choose to focus on herself and give up guarding Hathaway?
She didn't want to make the same mistake again.
The two of them crossed the line with difficulty.
The fierce mercenaries stood on the other side, their eyes coldly fixed on them. "I'll repeat Ms. Chelsea's words one last time. This is your only chance to live a long life together."
Lucia put away the tenderness that was only for Atticus.
She looked at the mercenary, saying, "Please tell her for me."
Lucia paused. Then she said, "Thanks."
Besides that, she seemed to have nothing else to say.
"If you really want to thank her, just behave." The mercenary raised his hand, pointing his index and middle fingers to his eyes, then towards them. "Ms. Chelsea saved my brother's life. She's kind, but I'm not. I'll be watching you. Take one wrong step and I'll personally send you to hell."
"Don't worry, I understand the consequences." After saying that, Lucia supported Atticus and walked towards the waiting car.
The driver was still a mercenary in camouflage.
Two medium-sized boxes were in the back of the car. When opened, they contained several stacks of US dollars and four small gold bars.
This was the money Fiona had prepared for them, as the mercenary had mentioned earlier.
Lucia's eyes welled up with emotion.
Not to exaggerate, but she would spend this much money on a single bag But at this moment, her emotions were uncontrollable.
The person who gave her a way out was someone she had once wanted to kill.
After the mercenary sent off the target, he messaged Fiona.
The mercenary: [Mission accomplished safely.]
Fiona: [Well done, the payment has been made.]
After putting away the phone, Fiona looked up to see a chubby carp jumping up to eat a lotus flower.
