Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison
Chapter 516 Rescuing Emilia

They drove towards the address Eric had given them, a location they'd studied on the map.

It was the broad countryside with a factory there, abandoned for many years.

Clearly, Eric was being deliberate.

In the deserted countryside, there was only a wide road around.

If Georgia's cars arrived, Eric's people would definitely replace them.

They were in the open, while Eric was in the shadows. For this battle, it would be more costly on their side.

Wilson had brought a lot of men.

He sat there in the car, directly the formations from later on.

Robert and Ivan listened on in patience at the side. Georgia and Aston didn't understand this sort of thing, so the two of them were silent.

According to their speculations, Eric wanted to play around with them, so Emilia had to be there.

As for what situation Emilia was in, that took confirmation.

With Eric's personality, he'd have already strapped a bomb to Emilia, and might even have her trussed up on the rooftop. Whichever way was best to use Emilia to threaten them and torture them, Eric would do it. But as for what methods he was using and what he was doing to Emilia, those were all guesswork.

They were planning their countermeasures based on Eric's potential reactions.

There was danger ahead, but they couldn't just up and deliver their heads on a platter.

So they had to speak about all possibilities and replace a perfect solution with their own reactions, at least to minimize everyone's chances of injury.

The best method was to negotiate with Eric and compromise, of course.

In the half hour, the car sped on.

After making rough plans, the car finally arrived.

Getting off, Robert got out with Georgia, with Wilson and Ivan following close behind.

Soon, a man in shades and a jacket walked over.

"Mr. Simpson, Miss Lane, our boss tells us only to let you two in."

"That won't do. He's just going to do what he wants with the two of you if you go in!"

Aston shot down the invitation right away, while the man in shades grinned.

"Of course, our boss also says that if Miss Lane and Mr. Simpson don't want to go in, that's fine too. The only person who's going to die is the lady inside, after all."

At that, Ivan's face changed.

"Tell your boss that I'll go in. I'll trade with the girl as your hostage."

The man in shades shook his head.

"Dr. Simpson, the boss mentioned you. He says it doesn't have much to do with you, and there's no value for you to go in."

Seemed like Eric was forcing a choice. He had the hostage. Before Georgia could say anything, Robert turned to Eric's man.

"Words don't mean anything. You have to at least show us that Emilia's in there before we go in."

"That's fine, of course."

The man smiled and took his own underlings with him as he walked into the factory.

Not long afterwards, Georgia saw Emilia taken to the doorway with several men, her hair having been shaved off completely. Her clothes were ragged, covered with blood, and her face was full of scars.

If she hadn't known Emilia, Georgia almost didn't want to look at the bloodied woman before her. She grabbed Robert's hand.

If not for Robert helping her up, she was almost about to faint.

She'd known that Emilia couldn't be in a good condition, but the sight still hurt her heart thoroughly.

Wilson held Ivan in place at the side. Ivan was about to rush over, but thankfully, Wilson was stronger. Emanating cool, he exerted full control over Ivan's body with physical power.

Soon, Eric's man took out a tablet.

Georgia saw Eric's face, and the two were video calling now.

She saw Eric sitting inside the factory, paler than before, but his eyes held a frightening gleam.

"You're doing a lot better than I am, Robert Simpson. Seems like the little trip to the lab didn't affect you that much, and they fixed you up right away. Your body is such a mystery. The person who saved you is named Riley Price, isn't he? A pity he didn't how up today. I could have negotiated with him."

"Riley's already cooperating with me, Eric. I've promised to give my body data over to him for research. I'm sure you've checked and found what he did in the shadows. I hope you can consider letting it all go. We can stop this feud here. I'll provide you with my data and assist your side with research, and you can let Emilia come back. What do you think about that plan?"

Georgia and Robert would have rather chewed off their own arms before working with Eric, but Eric had the hostage, and they'd even seen Emilia.

Emilia's condition was just too serious. She hadn't opened her eyes from the moment she'd been brought out, and the blood kept flowing.

It wasn't a lot of blood, but it was pretty serious already.

Robert knew Georgia. She wouldn't be able to take it if anything further happened to Emilia.

He knew that if Emilia wasn't saved, Georgia wouldn't be able to rest easy for the rest of her life.

He didn't want his wife to live on in regret forever. Sacrificing himself somewhat with Eric to stop the fighting was fine with him.

It was also the best result they'd discussed on the car.

"Unless you stay good and easy in my lab like last time and let me research your body however I want, I have no use for your data."

Eric sneered, having none of it.

Georgia's heart sank.

"Don't go too far, Eric. I've already discussed it with Robert and we're willing to cooperate with your research. I can also have Riley provide his information. Our three families can cooperate. Your own condition bears research, and we have our own situation as well. It's a win-win. With your own team alone, do you really think you can develop a countermeasure?"

"Georgia, I always sup alone. I don't like sharing labor with someone else. If you want to save Emilia, either hand over your husband and let me continue to do research on him, or come in and play a game with me. If you win, I'll let you and Robert take Emilia away, and we can continue the fight on our own terms. If you lose, though, you can taste the failure yourself."

"It's only going to be a trap going in. We can do this by force!"

Wilson spoke to the side.

"Don't trust his words. If you go in, we lose completely. They've only got one hostage in there. If you and Robert go in, they'll have three hostages by then." "Have you figured out how many men they have and where they're positioned?"

Georgia asked. Wilson was about to speak when Eric leered at them.

"You want to force your way in? I don't mind, of course. I'd like to see if you can get Emilia out of here."

At that, Georgia saw Emilia's body hoisted up. There was a bomb strapped to her.

"Do it. I'll take responsibility for all the consequences."

Robert spoke to Wilson. They hadn't moved yet and Eric was getting ready to watch the show when a gunshot sounded out of nowhere.¶¶
