“Jenna, don’t worry. I’ve already sent Jordan, Alvin, and the rest back. General Delia is still in the mansion. Nothing will happen. Trust me.” As he said this, Hansen turned and saw Alvin standing in a daze. He could not help but to shout angrily, “Alvin, why are you still here? This is no time to hesitate. How can you be so sissy?”
Alvin looked at the fierce-looking men in black beside Sergio and his heart ached. However, it was fortunate that they had control over some of the criminals. It was better than nothing.
“Take care, Mr. Richards,” Alvin said, gritting his teeth.
The situation was urgent then. He had no way of disobeying Hansen’s orders. He could only retreat and meet up with Jordan. He explained the situation at the mansion to Jordan. Jordan’s face turned pale with fright. He didn’t hesitate, led his men, and retreated. However, before he left, he left Paul and a few policemen there.
After they left, Hansen relaxed completely.
It was as if the heavy stone on his shoulders had been lifted. He took a deep breath.
However, Jenna became anxious. She was relieved that Hansen stayed. Yet, she was also more concerned about the people in the mansion. No matter how she begged, Hansen was determined to stay. In addition, she secretly prayed that God would protect the mansion and everyone in it.
Looking at Alvin’s and Jordan’s distant backs, the smile on the corner of Sergio’s mouth became more evident.
“Hansen, I advise you not to play any tricks. We’re leaving this place tonight. You can’t stop us. I advise you to give up and cooperate with me.” He smiled sinisterly. “If you agree to my request, then perhaps I will consider letting you and the people in your mansion live. Think before you act. Otherwise, today will be the day when your family’s blood splatters over the mansion.”
With these developments, Hansen was surprisingly relaxed. He said with sarcasm laced in his tone, “Sergio, do you really think that you can destroy Richards Manor so easily? Don’t forget that our mansion has been through 100 years of trials and tribulations. Yet, it is still in good condition. Can you destroy it? I’m just worried that you can’t escape from the law.”
In fact, Christopher and General Delia were in Richards Manor. Hansen still had some confidence in them. After all, these two, one was the leader of the army and the other was the head of the Department of Public Security. What was more, it was their responsibility to protect the mansion. Therefore, he believed that Richards Manor would escape this tragic disaster.
All of a sudden, he seemed to understand what came after Vivian’s death. She was using her death to save the Richards family. If not for her death, then how could Christopher and General Delia have come to the mansion? Thinking of this, his respect for his grandmother deepened.
“Haha.” At that time, Sergio guffawed. “Hansen, you are overestimating yourself. As long as my father gives an order, your mansion will immediately be razed to the ground. If the police are that useful, then will there be so many crimes in this world? Be realistic. The only thing you should do is to cooperate with me.”
After he finished, he flicked his sleeves and said calmly, “Let me tell you, I’ll count to three now. If you don’t hand over the Ocean Heart, then I’ll kill Sara .”
After saying that, he looked at the man who was standing next to Sara with a pistol on her temple. A smug smile appeared on his face.
Hansen narrowed his eyes. He calmly put down the pistol in his hand and took out the jewelry box from his person with a playful smile.
“Sergio, you don’t have to count. Look, I have the Ocean Heart.”
He smiled faintly as he held the jewelry box. He turned it in front of him while examining it and said in a calm voice, “Sergio, if you dare to hurt my mother, then I will shoot you and break the necklace immediately, or maybe donate it to the national museum. Then, you can screw yourself.”
Hansen raised his eyebrows. When he said this, his eyes were bright and clear. He held his ground. Panic flashed in Sergio’s eyes. If Hansen refused to cooperate, then they would lose. No one would benefit from it.
Hansen picked up his gun again. He aimed the gun at the Ocean Heart and tightened his hands on the trigger.
“Hansen, don’t forget that there are still hundreds of lives in your mansion waiting for you to save them. Even if you don’t care about your own life, they are your loved ones. Won’t you feel pity if that mansion explodes?” Sergio panicked and threatened him. He did not believe that Hansen didn’t care about the lives of hundreds of people. If it was about money, then maybe he wouldn’t care. However, after all, those people were his family.
As expected, Hansen’s face turned pale instantly. Flames of fury burned in his eyes.
Sergio saw his reaction and gave him a sinister smile.
“Hansen, this is not another piece of fake jewelry, is it?” he questioned, and his head tilted to one side. “This time, if you dare to fool me again, then I will make sure you never see your family again.”
When he thought of how Jenna had used a fake one to fool him, his eyes were filled with anger. Otherwise, perhaps his father would not threaten to destroy Richards Manor. This was their fault. What he did not expect was that Yadriel had long planned for this to happen. Whoever was in the way of his future, he would deal with them till the very end. Hence, he would not let the Richards family go that easily.
At that time, the sun was shining brightly above their heads. Sara was panting heavily due to her being detained for a whole night the night before. She was obviously sick. After seeing such a dangerous scene, her face turned pale as she gasped for air.
“Mom, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me.” Jenna saw Sara’s situation. Their relationship was very strong since she was a child, and she cried out loud.
“Jenna, hurry up. Leave here with Hansen. Don’t worry about me anymore. My life doesn’t matter. As long as you are happy, that’s all I could ever wish for.” Panting, she shouted at Jenna with all her might. Her eyes were full of attachment and worry for her daughter. Then, she slowly lowered her head and fell into a coma.
“Mom.” Jenna’s eyes were blurred by tears. She wanted to rush up to hug her mother but was held back by Hansen. She could only scream in pain.
“Jenna, don’t be agitated. I’ll rescue Mom right away. Just look at me and be alert.” Hansen lowered his head and whispered in her ear, “When you hear gunshots later, my men will surround and attack them. When the time comes, take the chance to wheel Mom outside and into the police car. Then, don’t come out again.”
He stroked her face and whispered something in her ear.
They were extremely affectionate with each other. From an outsider’s perspective, they completely ignored the current situation. Even at that time, they ignored the risks in front of them. They were busy showing their affection publicly.
Sergio’s gaze was as cold as frost. In his opinion, Hansen was totally showing off his power. He was the winner. He won Jenna’s heart while Sergio would always be the loser.
His face was terribly gloomy, and his eyes were murderous.
Jenna listened to Hansen’s words and stopped crying. At that time, she felt extremely helpless. She could only lean closely against Hansen. Her mother’s life was threatened. If it weren’t for Hansen, then she would have had a mental breakdown already.
At that moment, Hansen was the only person she could rely on. She leaned closer against him, finding the courage and calmness she had.
He was glad that he hadn’t listened to her and left her behind.
“Sergio, aren’t you worried that the jewelry is fake? Well, I’ll show it to you now.” Hansen smiled and threw the gun in his hand to the ground, ready to reach out, and open the box.
That time, everyone’s eyes were focused on him. Paul tightened his grip on the spear in his hand, with his eagle-like gaze sweeping left and right as he stood beside Hansen.
With a smile on his face, Hansen slowly unlocked the jewellery box.
A gleam of dazzling blue light shone from the box. Hansen picked up one end of the necklace and slowly pulled it out under the sun. The blue light became brighter and brighter, and suddenly, rays of light shot out in all directions. Everyone looked carefully at the blue-tinted diamond which was emitting a dazzling light. It shone everyone’s eyes.
The air was silent.
Everyone’s eyes were wide open as they stared at the treasure.
A muffled shot rang out.
Hansen took the opportunity to pull the trigger. The bullet flew out and was shot directly at Sergio’s chest.
As expected of a soldier, Sergio’s skills were impressive. As he caught sight of the Ocean Heart, he also saw Hansen’s ring. He quickly reacted, but darkness struck his vision.
With him being in the army for years, he saw the bullet and instinctively leapt to one side. Even so, he was shot in his right arm and then his waist.
“Shoot.” After Hansen pulled the trigger, Paul reacted and shouted at the remaining policemen.
Gunshots were fired in all directions.
Paul shot down the man in black who was standing beside Sara with one strike.
At that moment, the few guards outside all felt a striking pain in their eyes at the same time. Everything went pitch-black. They didn’t even have the time to fire their guns before they were swiftly hit by Hansen’s men. They were all shot and fell to the ground.
They were shocked when everything in their vision went dark for no reason. They had been shot and collapsed to the ground before they could see the jewelry.
Hansen saw the sunlight and thought of the reflection of light. He deliberately took out the Ocean Heart and aimed it at the sunlight directly. Such a legendary treasure would definitely attract everyone’s eyes. When the Ocean Heart faced the sun, the diamond absorbed the bright light and reflected it. The strong light blanketed everyone’s sight for a short time. Sergio was directly facing the sun. They were all fooled, including Sergio himself.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hansen took the lead and fired.
He spared no effort to take care of the enemies outside.
