Chapter 625: The Tough Punishment (part one l

"Save you? Why? I can't wait to see you get shot." Edward gave an evil smile. Since Daisy fainted suddenly, he didn't get a chance to deal with Jessica and Mary. Now they were Hero's hostages. There was divine justice after all.

"Why are you so cruel to me? I did everything only because I love you!" Jessica wasn't desperate yet. She was filled with hatred. She hated Daisy for taking everything from her. She hated Edward for ignoring her love. She hated the fact that the baby she was carrying was not Edward's.

"You don't love me. You just like having me. You enjoy the feeling you get when people see you with me. You love nobody but yourself." Edward looked Hero in the eye. He was not saying this to Jessica alone. He was directing it to both Jessica and Hero.

Hero was clever. He understood what Edward was saying. But he pretended to not hear anything. He stood there quietly because he didn't want to be embarrassed.

"Mr. Mu, don't you think I am a better choice for Colonel Ouyang than you?" Hero was still pointing his gun at Jessica as he talked to Edward. He never let his guard down.

"You can't judge a pair of shoes simply by looking at it. Only the person who wears it knows whether it would suit him or not. Therefore, only the person in a relationship knows how it feels to be with the other person. I'm not sure if I am the perfect guy for Daisy, but I know one thing, I am the person she wants the most,"

Edward retorted casually. He made his point and told Hero how important he was for Daisy. His answer was short yet powerful. The idea was to kill two birds with one stone.

That's because she hasn't been with me yet. So she doesn't know who is the best for her. You're not her. You don't get to make the decision on her behalf. She should tell me in person herself."

Hero wasn't an ordinary hooligan. He was a well-educated arms dealer. He wouldn't submit to Edward's words.

"I wish she could. Unfortunately, she's in a coma right now."

Thinking of what Daisy was going through, Edward felt a surge of rage in his body. He would have killed the people who had hurt her if Tom hadn't told him that it was because of the anaesthetic that Daisy was still in a coma.

What happened to her? She was fine when I left." Hero narrowed his eyes and glared at Jessica. He had warned her not to hurt Daisy. It seemed that she had ignored his warning.

You should ask the woman you are holding." Edward wasn't trying to get Jessica killed by Hero's hands. He wanted to kill her himself. But since Hero wanted to kill her too, he didn't mind giving him the opportunity. In doing so, he could save some energy. This was Edward's nature. He made use of people, in a way that somehow made him look like a generous guy who gave other person the opportunity to be a hero.

"What did you do to her? Tell me! Don't miss any detail!" Hero pointed his gun to Jessica's face, closer and harder.

"I didn't do anything. Really. Don't you see that I am injured too?" Edward now put Jessica into a more dangerous situation. This wasn't something she expected from Edward.

Don't be surprised. I just gave you a dose of your own medicine." Edward was qualified to be called a merciless man. Nobody could get away with messing with him. Of course Jessica was no exception.

What? Did you disfigure her?" Hero glanced at Mary. Did Jessica and Mary shave Daisy's head too? Was that why Jessica had been disfigured and Mary's head had been shaven?

No, it's not me. It's Wolf and his men." Jessica went stiff. She didn't dare to move, fearing that if she moved, Hero's gun might go off by accident and kill her. She made Wolf the fall guy. Since he wasn't present, he couldn't contradict her.

Hero, don't be stupid," Kevin said with a frown. Unlike Edward, he cared about the hostages and tried to calm down Hero.

"Step down, all of you! Or we'll all get hurt. All I want is to see Colonel Ouyang once." From what Edward had said, Hero understood that Daisy must have been badly injured. So, naturally, he wouldn't be able to take her with him. Now, he came up with a second best alternative which was to have a look at her and see how she was.

"Sorry, you can't. And it's not necessary either. You are going to be a prisoner soon. You're in no place to negotiate with me. Edward sounded arrogant and grim. It was crazy if Hero thought Edward would let a stranger see his wife.

"You're way too arrogant. Are you certain I have nothing to make you cave in?" Hero had anticipated that Edward wouldn't agree to his condition readily, but he hadn't expected him to be so blunt about it.

"If you are talking about the women in your hands, they are nothing to me. You can do whatever you want to them." Edward twisted his mouth contemptuously. Other women's lives didn't concern him.

"I mean dying together, you and me. Can you still remain calm? Hero looked at Edward provocatively. He wasn't as overbearing as Edward. But he didn't believe that Edward loved Daisy enough to die for her. He was such an outstanding man after all.

Can you do that? I don't think so. Since you can't, why should I be alarmed? Edward raised his eyebrows. He treated Hero's provocation as nothing and wondered why this man was interested in Daisy. Didn't he know that he and Daisy were on two opposing sides?

Should I give up on her? Hero wasn't a sour loser. It was just that he had taken a huge risk to come back for Daisy, but now he couldn't see her. He wasn't ready to give up like that.

You think about it. All I can say is you came a little late in Daisy's life. I don't hate you much. Despite you being a part of the abduction, you didn't harm my wife and son. So I wont interfere in what you do next. Take care.
