The man’s eyes were fierce as he snarled, “Everyone will die with me. I don’t care about the consequences!”
“I know you don’t care about the consequences, but what about your wife and daughter? Did you ever consider what might
happen to them?” Renee asked him calmly.
“Didn’t you hear me?! They’re dead, so I want all of you to die with them!” The man shouted at her.
“Heh! You’re too naive. Death is not the end...” Renee shook her head, smiling as she approached him slowly.
Everyone there was shocked to see her approach him. The man’s body was covered with bombs, so going closer would only
mean
courting death!
Stefan clenched his fists so tightly they turned white. He desperately wanted to carry the fearless Renee away, but he was afraid
of agitating the madman in front of them. His handsome face turned frighteningly cold.
However, Renee appeared very relaxed as she slowly approached the man, talking to him as if they had been friends for many
years.” People go to hell after they pass away, and they’ll need to go through a cycle to make up for their past sins. Those who
are sinful can’t be reborn forever, and will have to endure endless torture...
“You’re aware that this girl is from a wealthy family, and has a very good life and fate, but you’re trying to hurt her for your wife
and daughter’s sake. So, basically, you’re just adding more sins to their name. They might be reborn into a better life, but they’ll
never be free because of you. Do you think that’s what they want?”
Some of the people there felt that Renee’s mysterious words were nothing but old–fashioned superstitions, but the man seemed
to be affected by her words. His lips trembled as he whimpered, “But what can I do? My wife and daughter are dead because of
those selfish people, and I couldn’t even find their bodies to give them a burial. Do you want me to do nothing about it and let
their deaths go just like that? I’m not that merciful. In the end, good people only suffer while bad people live comfortably. If that’s
the case. I don’t want to be a
good man anymore!”
Renee replied, “I didn’t ask you to be a good man, but you should never involve innocent people in your disputes. Instead, fight
the law and sue those who caused your wife and daughter’s death. You can’t resolve anything by killing innocent people!”
The man shook his head in despair and chuckled bitterly, “Hah! If the law was useful, my wife and daughter wouldn’t have been
killed. Stop trying to change my mind. If they can’t be reborn, then my family can be with me forever...”
When Renee noticed that he had become agitated again, she knew that she could not dissuade him. “Alright, but just know that
this girl’s life is special so you can’t harm her. Why don’t you take me instead? I’ve been researching philosophy and beliefs for
many years, so I know a bit about the underworld. I can even lead the way for you and your family later...”
Her statement made him waver, and he eventually said to Renee firmly, “Fine. Come to me with your hands behind your back.”
“Okay!” She nodded obediently. This was her original plan. If she could not change his mind, she would become the hostage
instead. After all, she could react faster than Jane, so Jane would survive.
Suddenly, Stefan roared, “Stop!” His eyes were blazing as he growled, “Renee, don’t be stupid. Get back here!”
However, she ignored him and successfully exchanged her position with Jane’s. She was now the hostage, and the man was
holding a
knife to her neck.
Meanwhile, a news station had made their way to the place, and everything was being broadcasted on TV. Everyone watching
was moved
by Renee’s selfless sacrifice.
Stefan strode towards the man, his body tense. He glared at the man and threatened him menacingly. “I’ll count to three. Let her
go now,
or your head will be blown off!”
He had communicated with the snipers outside through subtle hand gestures earlier, and they were prepared to fire on his
command. However, he had been thrown off by Renee’s actions, and his mind just shut down. Thoughts of the crazy man losing
control and slashing Renee’s neck flooded his mind, and he couldn’t think rationally.
Only now did Stefan realise how much he cared about Renee; he could not bear to see her harmed.
“Hah! You want to shoot me? Why don’t I cut your woman’s head off first?!” The man sounded hysterical and was about to slash
Renee’s
neck.
