Chapter 1220: Chapter 1217
“Miss!”
“Get out of the way!”
“Move aside quickly!”
Lucas, with tears streaming down his face, pleaded, “Miss, I beg you, my old life isn’t worth it!”
In the Eastern Alliance, no matter how strong a slave is, their status is never too high.
What he didn’t expect was that Jessica Wright was actually willing to die in his place!
The shock in his heart was no less than a tornado!
Of course, there was more emotion, and he didn’t regret making so many contributions for the young lady!
“Clang…”
Wesley Wright, looking at his daughter in front of him, suddenly stopped his deadly advance. The katana was less than an inch away from Jessica Wright’s throat, and he roared angrily, “Get out of the way!”
At the same time, several senior members of the company also stood up!
In their eyes, there was full of resentment and poison!
“He is just a slave!”
“You… you are disgracing our company!”
“Damn it!”
“…”
Looking at those faces that seemed familiar yet extremely strange, accusing her, Jessica Wright’s heart was actually undisturbed.
Facing the katana that could take her life at any moment, she simply said, “Perhaps Uncle De is just a slave in your eyes!”
“But to me, he is the teacher who taught me ninjutsu!”
“It’s like he’s a father who took care of me meticulously!”
“I want to be a person with emotions and gratitude, one who repays kindness!”
“Not a cold-blooded bastard to the core!”
These words were undoubtedly a provocation to the bottom line of the company’s executives.
They were like needles to the heart of Wesley Wright!
“Whoosh…”
But the very next moment, he suddenly bypassed Jessica Wright’s body and stabbed Lucas in the abdomen with a knife.
When the blade pierced the flesh, it even made a ‘puchi’ sound of flesh ripping!
As the katana was pulled out, blood gushed forth!
Lucas lay on the ground, barely alive, but his expression was not one of pain; rather, it revealed a slight smile!
Finally…
The young lady he saw as a daughter did not ignore him like the others!
To die, then, was worth it!
“You…”
Jessica Wright’s delicate body was trembling uncontrollably!
Indeed, Wesley Wright’s strength far surpassed hers;
He was, after all, the second strongest man in the Eastern Alliance!
She was caught off guard and powerless to stop him!
But her beautiful eyes were full of hatred!
“Lock Jessica up in the Ice Prison, she must not leave until she confesses. Expel this worthless slave from the company, let fate decide his life and death!”
Wesley Wright was cold to the extreme, and after wiping the blood from the blade, he turned and left!
And this result, no one opposed!
Ice Prison!
As the name suggests, it is in the middle of an iceberg!
Even someone of Jessica Wright’s level, once jailed within the Ice Prison, could only rely on her inner ‘Qi’ for warmth and prevent her body from freezing stiff.
Maybe she could last ten days or half a month but in the long run, death was inevitable!
Clearly, Wesley Wright’s decision not to kill Jessica Wright was not out of fatherly love.
It was simply because the company was in dire need of strong fighters now!
Moreover, the external business was suffering heavy losses; if Jessica Wright remained stubborn, then the company would surely be destroyed by the hands of the Yamaguchi-gumi!
As for Lucas?
A waste with destroyed innards, thrown in the snow and ice, and also severely injured—what else could his fate be but death?
Inside the Ice Prison, the surrounding ice, clear like mirrors, reflected Jessica Wright’s sorrowful face.
She didn’t use any inner ‘Qi’ to resist the extreme cold!
She was just holding the Pisces jade pendant her senior brother gave her, staring at it intently, oblivious to the cold!
She was just foolishly looking, foolishly reminiscing!
