Chapter 347
Arnis had just woken up from a deep sleep, his eyes bleary. When he heard that Cynthia needed his help, he was surprised. “How can I help you? Are you short of money?” Deep down, he believed Cynthia was an omnipotent figure, and money appeared to be the only thing she could possibly require assistance with.
“I’m in Fruycia right now. Luke kidnapped my friend, and Liam is trapped with him. I need manpower,” Cynthia said urgently.
The moment Arnis heard that, he immediately sat up in bed. “Are you talking about Blake Group? That small company has the audacity to do something like this? Wait for me. I’ll be right there.” Arnis quickly got out of bed, grabbed his keys, and headed out.
“Okay,” Cynthia replied, giving him the exact address before hanging up.
Arnis promptly gathered his men. MS Group was the leading enterprise in Fruycia. Even though Arnis wasn’t involved in his family’s business, dealing with Blake Group was an easy task for him.
Meanwhile, back at Luke’s mansion, a large group of people stormed in, dragging the bound Mila with them. When Liam and his team noticed the sudden influx of people, they became alert. Hallet also quickly shielded Queena behind him. Suddenly, a bullet shot out from the shadows. Liam responded quickly, turning to avoid it. The bullet penetrated the wall, leaving a deep hole.
Fortunately, no one was injured, but Luke was able to escape from being held at gunpoint. Finding himself in a favorable situation, he dashed downstairs, a triumphant smile on his face. “Haha! It’s my lucky day!” Then, he sat on the couch, looking at Liam and his men as if they were lambs about to be slaughtered. “I wonder how I should vent my frustration?” he blurted. He pretended to think for a moment before standing up and walking over to Mila. He yanked her into his arms and tore the tape from her lips without mercy.
Mila gasped in pain before taking a deep breath. She looked up and saw Vincent’s gaze fixed on her, and a feeling of humiliation welled up in her heart as she realized she was in Luke’s arms. Despite her efforts to free herself, Luke’s strong grip on her slender waist remained firm. Luke was a tough man. Although his arm had been dislocated not long ago, he still exerted considerable strength. Mila’s eyes welled up with tears as she desperately shook her head at Vincent.
When Vincent saw that, his eyes reddened. He couldn’t suppress his emotions any longer. Clenching his fists tightly, he shouted angrily, “Let her go!”
Luke couldn’t help but smirk after hearing that. “Are you trying to negotiate with me? This woman was mine before, and I won’t let you have her now.” As he spoke, he brushed his nose against Mila’s ear in a disgusting manner.
Mila tried to pull away, but Luke grabbed her hair and roughly held her head in place, causing her face to turn pale with pain.
“What exactly do you want, Luke?” Vincent became agitated and took a step forward, only to be blocked by Luke’s men.
Luke turned around and abruptly threw Mila to the ground. He sat back on the couch leisurely, putting his feet on the coffee table and pointing to his shoes. “I’ll let her go if you lick my shoes clean.”
“Dream on!” Queena, who was hiding behind Hallet, poked her head out and spat at Luke. She knew Vincent was a proud man, and he wouldn’t tolerate such humiliation.
Luke gave her a sideways glance and shook his head disapprovingly. “Queena, that’s rude of you. Are you acting so arrogantly because I treated you gently earlier? Don’t forget, I’m the one in control now.”
“Despicable man.” Queena rolled her eyes.
“You sure are a naughty one,” Luke said, pointing at Queena and mocking her in a creepy, high–pitched tone. His tough appearance made it even more unsettling.
Queena shivered involuntarily and fell silent.
Just then, Cynthia’s voice came through Hallet’s earphones. “Listen carefully, Hallet. I’ve sought assistance, and they are on their way. They’ll arrive in approximately ten minutes. Try to stall Luke as much as possible.”
Hallet raised an eyebrow, perplexed as to where Cynthia had found assistance in the foreign land. Nevertheless, he knew there was no time for questions. It was good news that someone was coming, especially if they were allies. Luke’s forces were overwhelming, and escaping unscathed appeared impossible without reinforcements. Knowing Cynthia was watching the situation via surveillance footage, he nodded subtly to indicate his acknowledgement.
Meanwhile, Luke was still reveling in the thought of how to best exact his revenge on everyone. He asked Vincent again, “What? You won’t do it?” He nodded to himself and continued, “It makes sense. It’s not worth losing your dignity over someone who betrayed you. I’m tired of this woman anyway. How about I offer her to my men? So that they can also have a taste of Mr. Yearwood’s woman.” With that, he signaled to his subordinates. “You guys have worked hard. Have fun with this woman.”

His subordinates, grinning lecherously, eagerly expressed their appreciation. “Thank you, Mr. Blake.” They then began to close in on Mila. There were about a dozen of them. Mila’s face turned pale with fear as she was unable to escape with her hands and feet bound.
Seeing that her clothes were about to be torn off, Vincent lost his rationality. Regardless of the pain he was experiencing, he knocked down the person in his path and dashed toward Mila. However, before he could get close, more of Luke’s subordinates surrounded him. Vincent, who was already injured, was unable to defend himself against the numerous assailants.
When Liam saw that Vincent was losing, he instructed Hallet, “Protect Queena.” After that, he led his subordinates into the fray. The mansion erupted into chaos once again.
Mila lay on the ground, desperately attempting to fend off the men approaching her. Catching a glimpse of Vincent being beaten to the ground, she cried out, “Vincent, just leave me here and go! I’m not worthy for you to do this for me.”
Nonetheless, Vincent refused to give up, determined to save her. Luke leisurely sat on the couch, watching the scene with satisfaction, nearly applauding. It was exactly what he wanted. He found it extremely satisfying to see Vincent in such pain and helplessness.
Hallet watched the sudden outbreak with frustration. ‘Couldn’t they wait a bit longer?‘ he grumbled inwardly. He then used his earphones to communicate with Cynthia. “Where are the reinforcements?”
