Chapter 1779: Three-Way Confrontation

Luther handed Alisha, whom he had been holding in his arms, over toReuben and whispered, "I'll stand in front later. Once I replace abreakthrough, you take the opportunity to leave and hand Alisha over toJoyce. I'll stay here, so you don't have to worry."

Reuben hesitated for a moment before reluctantly taking Alisha into hisarms. They were surrounded by the enemy, armed with heavyweapons. How could he replace an opportunity to escape? Unless he coulddisappear into thin air. And Luther said he didn't have to worry? Whatcould Luther do by himself?

Finally, Reuben said, "You be careful.”

Luther didn't respond directly. He stood in front of Alisha and raised hisvoice, "Athena, let's not involve the child in our affairs anymore. If youhave any issues, come at me."

Athena laughed loudly, her beautiful and enchanting face lookingparticularly sinister in the dim night. "What's the use of coming at you?Will you obediently come with me? Will you divorce and marry me?Luther, I've loved you since we were young, and you know it. I've lovedyou for so many years, what can you offer me in return for my love? Ijust wanted the three of us to be together, even this simple wish youcan't fulfill. What more can I expect from you?"

She pointed at Alisha. "Even if you retrieve the detonator, so what? It'snothing special. Everyone around me belongs to me. After I captureAlisha again, I can implant it in her once more. No one can leavetoday!"

Upon hearing this, Luther clenched his fists, his veins bulging. Thiscrazy woman actually wanted to harm Alisha.

He carried weapons on him, and naturally, he had made preparations.A large number of special police and mercenaries had long beenambushed in the surrounding area. He couldn't afford to beunprepared.

However, in the current situation, it was difficult not to harm Alisha ifthey started firing at each other recklessly.

After hearing Athena's words, Reuben couldn't help rolling his eyes.This woman was indeed mentally unstable.

"Hey, do you understand love? Love is about selflessness, aboutacceptance. Love is loving everything about the other person andgiving selflessly. If you expect something in return, that's not love, that'sselfish desire. Do you understand?" Reuben shouted loudly.

This sentence completely enraged Athena.

Athena immediately pointed her gun at Reuben, her eyes burning withanger.

Luther instinctively stood in front of Reuben, protecting Alisha whilealso trying not to harm the innocent.

At the same time, he drew his pistol and aimed it at Athena's heart,sternly saying, "Athena, drop the gun! I advise you to retreat while youstill can. Khebury is my territory, not a place where you can call theshots!"

After speaking, he suddenly fired a signal flare into the sky,accompanied by a sharp sound that pierced the air.

A dazzling arc of light cut through the sky, illuminating the surroundings."My people will arrive immediately. If you don't want to trigger aninternational conflict, let go now," Luther issued his final warning.Athena glared at Luther with hatred. "You still have a signal flare?Dream on if you think I'll let go!"

At this moment, Reuben patted Luther and said, "Hey, not bad, youhave a backup plan.”

Athena stared at Reuben intently, squinting her eyes. She suddenlypicked up the flashlight from another person in black beside her andshone the blinding light directly at Reuben.

Reuben didn't dodge, allowing Athena to scrutinize him.

Athena's expression turned serious. "It's you! You're Prince Rohomes, Iknow you!"

She thought for a moment, then finally remembered, “You're Reuben?!"Reuben didn't confirm or deny it. It was only a matter of time beforeAthena discovered his identity; it was not surprising.

"Well, what a coincidence. Today, I have an unexpected gain. Reuben,the person that Prince Masato wants to eliminate the most! You think Iwould miss such a great opportunity? You won't leave here alivetonight. I want you dead!" Athena laughed wildly.

Luther furrowed his brow. Prince Masato, was she referring to Clint?The eldest son of Rohomes? Athena's background was deeplyconnected to the Rohomes family. That was why he was cautious aboutthe Rohomes. He didn't want to cause an international incidentbecause of his own affairs.

At this moment, Reuben approached Luther and explained in a lowvoice, "Athena's aunt, Taura Yoshikawa, married the current emperor,and their child is the eldest son, Clint. The Yoshikawa family is thebiggest dark power in Rohomes, and Taura and Charity are sisters. So,Clint is Athena's cousin. As for me, my mother is from the Pascayliapeople. I have no blood relation with Athena, that psycho woman."Luther furrowed his brow even tighter. Athena's deep connection to theRohomes royal family was surprising. Athena being the cousin of thecurrent crown prince and the most competitive heir to the throne.Athena, the cousin of the crown prince, no wonder OGW had ties to theRohomes royal family and dared to be so arrogant.

Dealing with Athena was equivalent to being an enemy of the entireRohomes royal family.

Therefore, even with his reinforcements, he couldn't easily kill Athenatonight.

Athena turned to the black-clad people next to her and ordered,"Except for Luther, Kill everyone else without mercy."

Then, she gave Luther a seductive smile. "Luther, since you're soheartless, I won't be polite tonight. Everyone except you will die! It'sbecause of you that our family won't have a happy reunion. Don't blameme for being ruthless!"

Luther was familiar with Athena's style. The moment she gave theorder, he had already reacted. He forcefully pushed Reuben and Alishato a low wall nearby. No matter what, he couldn't let Alisha be harmedanymore.

Just as the firefight was about to break out, suddenly, a commotioncame from behind the black-clad people.

The rear became chaotic, causing the black-clad people in front to turnaround and look.

They saw dozens of military anti-explosion vehicles speeding andstopping, and dozens of people in military uniforms descended from thevehicles. They all held rifles and quickly surrounded the black-cladpeople, pointing their guns at each other.

Athena cursed, "Damn it, it's the military! Damn you, Joyce."

At the same time, a large number of special police and mercenariesarrived. They were summoned by the signal flare Luther had fired. Theyhad been lurking nearby all along, and the signal flare was just a signalto act.

Inner circle, outer circle.

The three parties surrounded each other and there was no escape.
