"You-" The first elder's eyes were bloodshot, brimming with hostility. He shook with fury. "You are crazy!"
"I am" Jennie only smiled as she let out a sigh. Antonio's taunting words seemed to echo inside her mind. Lisa is dead. Lisa is dead.
"Jennie... I think you need to take it easy." Peter said.. He was the first person who actually recovered from the sudden explosion. "I... I think we could still talk this out like normal people."
she only scoffed at his words. "I am anything but normal." Then her gaze turned cold as she eyed the guards who were staring at her with hostility. "Tell your men to stay away from me. I am the only one who knows how to stop the attacks."
Peter instantly signaled his men not to make a move. jennie's eyes were telling him that she was very serious in killing everyone. Peter can't help but wonder if this was all because of Lisa. If it is then... his uncle made the wrong move in trying to kill him. Then he clenched his jaws as he thought about what Mia said earlier. Her grandfather would also attack the island today. If his guess was right then it should also be around at the same time that the Vercello's will attack the island.
This only means that Lisa and his men would be outnumbered. There is just no way that he would survive the attack.
"Now... give me the address of the facility that is making those drugs." He heard Jennie said. "Type it on your phone and give it to me."
Peter could only swallow the anger that is building inside him. What else could he do? Jennie was like a ticking bomb right now. One wrong move and everyone will die without even knowing what killed them.
"Don't give it to her," Antonio muttered as he slowly used his cane to get up from his seat. He then glared at Jennie. "This is unexpected. I admit I was surprised."
"I want you to give me the address now. Then released my grandmother, uncle, and cousin. Prepare for a helicopter. Do that and I might reconsider not blowing everyone up!" Ignoring Antonio's words, Jennie's voice echoed inside the hall.
"We are not as stupid as you think." Quan Lei answered. "Once you leave you could still choose to blow us up."
"Then let them leave. While I stay here with everyone." she said, her abrupt decision once again surprised the group of men in front of her. Why would she be willing to stay at times like this? She should save herself. Make her safety a priority.
Of course, these people do not have the term love and sacrifice in their minds. All of them grow up in a very competitive and deadly world that they already forgot the meaning of sacrifice. Most of them never experienced love and friendship as they were only competing and acquiring power and influence. For them, trivial emotions such as love and friendship do not exist.
Their worlds were full of betrayals and lies, making them fail to see the reason behind Jennie's actions. With these facts in mind, everyone looked at her as if she was a fool. If they were in her shoes, they would have asked to leave this place immediately and leave their relatives. And maybe... maybe... save them later. Of course, this is only if those relatives were still alive.
"If we do that... are you going to stop the explosion?" Peter asked. This is the most important thing right now.
"I will." she answered. At this point, she was already thinking of blowing everything up the moment that the helicopter will leave this place with Natalie, her uncle, and Wang Mino. So what if she would die? Without Lisa, she won't find happiness anyway. This is not desperation; she was just stating a fact. She could not live without him. NO... she would not live without him in this world.
Jennie gave herself a mocking laugh. This was not foolishness. In fact, Jennie's reasoning was very simple. Once Lisa dies, she know that she could never be happy again. So what is the purpose of living a life full of sadness and misery? She would rather follow him. Half in anguish, half in hope that their souls would be bound and would meet once again in their next life.
This was only her greatest hope. To be with him... and only him.
she then watched as Peter approached his uncle and whispered something in his ears. After a few minutes Antonio ordered his men to carry Wang Huo, Natalie and Wang Mino towards the Helicopter. However, before they could touch Wang Huo... the latter suddenly let out a series of cough as he slowly jolted up. Confusion laced his face while he roamed his eyes around him.
"Uncle. I will explain later. I want you to accompany grandmother and Mino out of this place." Jennie instantly said the moment she met Wang Huo's eyes. However, the latter did not make any move. He only stared at her before slowly looking at his mother, Natalie who was lying next to him.
After a few more seconds of silence, Wang Huo suddenly said, "No... I will accompany you. Let Wang Bolin, take mother and Mino out of this place." Wang Huo might not know the entire story but he was smart enough to know that there are in a very dangerous situation right now.
He cannot leave Jennie here alone.
