Ryan did not hesitate for a moment. He yelled, “No deal. I want both of them!”

“Hahaha! Ryan, you want to enjoy the best of both worlds, huh?” Liam laughed wildly, then turned to look at Yasmin standing on the high platform. “Yasmin, you have not followed Ryan in vain. Look, he even wants to take you as a mistress!”

“Crazy bastard! Shut up, you monster!” Yasmin screamed at Liam with eyes red with rage. “If you want to kill someone, come at me! Let Young Madam go!”

“Be quiet!” Lewis slammed the butt of his gun against Yasmin’s head.

“Tsk, tsk… What a shrew.” Liam clicked his tongue and shook his head.

Pain surged through Yasmin's body, but it could not extinguish the anger in her eyes. She shouted at Ryan, “Mr. Hoffman! Don’t worry about me. Save Young Madam! You must save her!”

“I want both!” Ryan's eyes were filled with dark red determination as he repeated himself firmly.

“Ryan, you already have enough. Don’t be greedy. There is no such thing as wanting everything in this world.”

Liam’s smile was mocking, and his gaze was as bloodthirsty as a starving wolf. “I don’t even have two arms, so how can you have two women? That is too unfair to me, don’t you think so?”

“As long as you release them, I will agree to all your conditions.” Ryan remained steadfast. “Money, shares, the Hoffman Group, I will give it all to you!”

“You see, if you had been this cooperative earlier, things would have been much better. But unfortunately, it is too late now.” Liam’s smile suddenly vanished. “Since you cannot make a choice, I will help you decide.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he pressed another button on the remote control.

At that moment, a hole opened at the bottom of the glass tank, and water flowed into the tank, filling it.

Carrie was kneeling inside the tank, still unconscious. Within seconds, the water had already covered her calves.

Ryan felt as if a sword had pierced his heart. He shouted and slammed the glass tank again, even using a knife to hack at it, but to no avail.

"Don’t waste your efforts. This tank was specially made with bulletproof glass for Ms. Salvador."

Liam looked down at Ryan, who was frantically running around like a headless chicken, laughing heartily.

"Liam... I will kill you!"

Ryan charged at Liam with rage, completely ignoring the danger.

Liam quickly grabbed a gun and fired three shots in rapid succession, the bullets exploding at Ryan’s feet.

"Mr. Hoffman! Don’t!" Yasmin’s heart nearly leaped out of her throat in fear.

Ryan panted heavily, looking again at the glass tank. His heart beat frantically, on the verge of giving out.

The water had already reached Carrie’s thighs.

"This tank will be filled with water in ten minutes, and a person can drown within three minutes of submersion. Ms. Salvador is still unconscious and has no will to survive. She will probably die even faster, right?"

Liam pointed the gun at Ryan, laughing maniacally. "Honestly, I hope you choose Yasmin. I really want to see Ms. Salvador drown in the tank I meticulously prepared. That scene should be beautiful, right? Hahaha!"

The water level continued to rise, inching toward Carrie’s chest. Seconds ticked away as Ryan stood before the glass tank, knocking on the glass in agony and calling out his lover’s name repeatedly.

He still could not make a choice.

If his death could save these two innocent girls, he would die immediately.

But if he had to sacrifice one to save the other, he could never make that choice!

Suddenly, a muffled explosion came from downstairs, and the entire swimming pool shook as if experiencing an earthquake.

A subordinate rushed in from outside, breathless: "Mr. Liam! The police have surrounded the entire building! They are coming in!"

"What are you afraid of? We have plenty of firepower and grenades. They will not get in anytime soon."
