Chapter 812 Trying to Stay Afloat
The two villagers who had come to expose the secrets they knew were locked up
here in the chamber. Their bodies were littered with wounds and covered in
blood. They were staring at Jethro intently.
Under normal circumstances, Jethro would've been fine with that. But now, he
found them to be terrifying.
One of the villagers said viciously, “Jethro Roman, you bastard! Are you hiding
here because someone else is after you?”
Jethro was enraged by his words. He did not want these men to continue their
loud spiel as he would be done for if he was discovered.
“I didn’t expect the two of you to still be alive. Perhaps I can do this—I can kill you
both now so that you won't have to suffer from all that pain.” Jethro picked up a
piece of iron that was red after being heated up. He planned to kill the two
men.
The other villager said hurriedly, “Don’t come over here! What are you doing? I'll
scream for help, believe it or not!”
They had never given up on their survival. It seemed that Jethro had
encountered a serious problem, and it proved to be a great opportunity for them.
Jethro said viciously, “I can kill the two of you now!”
Right at this moment, they heard someone knock on the door. Jethro’s
expression darkened as he whispered threateningly, “You'd better be obedient, or
I'll kill you two!”
The villagers dared not act rashly. They were afraid of angering Jethro, but at the
same time, they hoped that the people outside would break in and save them.
“Stop knocking. This room has been abandoned for a long time, and it's been
empty for as long,” one of the guards said.
Another replied, “Abandoned? But this lock is new! Perhaps there are some
treasures inside?”
“How naive of you. How could there still be treasures in this run-down place?
The guards have run away long ago. They'd never leave anything valuable here!”
“I think something is wrong with this place. This lock is new, which means they're
definitely hiding something here.”

As the guards argued with each other, Sylvia walked over, asking, “What are you
guys squabbling about?”
Without hesitation, she shot the lock open with her gun.
Meanwhile, Caspian walked over as well. After they entered the chamber, they
discovered that this was a secret base for the specific purpose of executing
people. It could be proved by the execution equipment lying around.
Jethro hid in the corner, shaking involuntarily out of fear. He said, still harboring
hopes that he could survive, “Caspian, I was coerced too. Killing me won't impact
the Andrews family in any way. As long as you can ensure my safety, I can take
you to Kelvin and the others.”
“The Andrews family is no longer as powerful as they were. Do you think I'd still
need you?” Caspian looked at Jethro coldly.
“Kelvin has taken your mother, Sherry Lynch. If you release me, I'll tell you
escape plans.”
their
Jethro was desperate to prove his value. If he failed to do so, Caspian would
surely kill him without hesitation.
When the Life Force members heard Jethro call their head Caspian, they
assumed that Jethro was scared witless. On the other hand, the two villagers
who were locked up felt hope ignite in them upon hearing Caspian’s name.
“You won't just watch as other people die, will you? There are two innocent
people here. If you don't release me, I'll kill them immediately!”
Jethro knew that he had no other choice, so he could only take the plunge and
threaten Caspian with the lives of those two people.
“You're still considered a powerful figure, aren't you, Jethro? Don’t you feel
ashamed when you use such unscrupulous methods?” Caspian said with a
frown.
Jethro would really stop at nothing just to make sure he stayed alive.
“Do you think trying to rile me up would work? I'm gonna die anyway, so what use
do I have for my dignity? Release me and you'll save two lives, which is a good
deal for you.” Without any other choice, Jethro could only try to survive through
this.
“You sure do have good ideas, don't you, old bastard?” a member of Life Force
said.
“Scum like you aren't worthy of being killed by me, Jethro.” Caspian waved his
hand in the air, gesturing for the men from Life Force to open a path.

The men frowned. Since when was their head so benevolent? In the past, he
would never care about the lives of these two men.
Jethro froze as well. He never dreamed of Caspian releasing him for real. He
held the two villagers hostage as they walked slowly to the door.
Caspian said coldly, “When you leave the headquarters, you must release these
two men or I'll surely make your life hell!”
His words made a chill run down Jethro’s spine. He did not say anything and
continued making his way forward.
Sylvia wanted to chase after them, but Caspian stopped her. She asked, “Are we
really going to release him, sir?”
Caspian said nonchalantly, “He can't escape us. Let him live for a few more
hours.
Sylvia pursued anxiously, “Jethro, that old bastards, words can't be trusted, sir.
What if he refuses to release the two men?”
“Don’t worry. He has nowhere else to go. He'll probably run for his life, and he'll
go to Kelvin the first second he can, which is a good thing as far as we're
concerned,” Caspian replied.
Sylvia had a realization. If Jethro wanted to escape, he would surely look for
someone he could rely on. In the process, he would basically be showing
Caspian’s side where to go.
“Let's go,” Caspian said.
Sylvia dashed out immediately. As expected, they saw the two villagers walking
over while supporting each other. They were now safe.
“Show them somewhere they can have a rest,” Caspian said.

“You...” The mentees stared at Sylvia and Caspian in shock. They would never
expect Caspian to disguise himself as their head!
“If
you join our side now, I can ensure your survival,” Sylvia said immediately.
The men were not stupid. Their side no longer had an advantage, and they did
not want to die just like that.
On the roads leading to the airport, several SUVs were traveling at high speed.
Kelvin was in one of them.
