Chapter 761: Chapter 761: Fearlessly Blocking the Blade (11)

There was someone holding a cell phone flashlight – it cast enough light for Ruby Gregory to see what was happening. Approximately six or seven men were circling, staring threateningly at her and Madeleine, forming a semi-circle around them.

Behind Ruby and Madeleine, was the alley wall.

Their retreat was blocked; they were trapped like birds with clipped wings.

Upon seeing the situation, a chill crept into Ruby Gregory’s heart. In contrast, Madeleine seemed oblivious, rubbing her head against Ruby’s shoulder, asking in a whisper, “Ruby, why have we been walking this long and we still haven’t reached our car?”

“We’re almost there…” Ruby pacified Madeleine, and quickly took out her wallet from her bag. She handed it over to the men in front of her, swallowing twice before saying hoarsely, “There’s quite a bit of cash in my wallet, you can have it all. There are also several credit cards. One of them, the black one, has no password and can withdraw US$686,000…”

The few men looked over the wallet Ruby had handed over, and seemed momentarily stunned by the amount she had mentioned. They looked at each other.

Misinterpreting the men’s expressions, Ruby thought there was hope. She quickly grabbed Madeleine’s bag and took out her wallet, saying, “If you still think it’s not enough, here’s another wallet. It also has cash and a black card that can withdraw US$686,000 without a password… As long as you let us go, I promise I won’t pursue this.”

The man standing in the center, the oldest of the group, with two powerfully tattooed arms, laughed at Ruby’s last words. He strode forward, snatching the wallets from Ruby’s hands, and without checking the contents, tossed them aside, “Do you take us for toddlers? Using your cards to withdraw money? That’s blatantly leading us into a trap!”

Once he finished, he surveyed Ruby and Madeleine, then asked, “Who is Ruby Gregory?”

Upon hearing her name, Ruby hesitated slightly before realizing that these men were specifically targeting her. She moved her lips and answered, “I am.”

“So, it’s you…”

Ruby didn’t respond, but glanced at Madeleine beside her before saying, “If you’re after me, can you let my friend go first?”

She knew the suggestion was laughable. These men had kidnapped Madeleine along with her, probably fearing she would call the police.

So Ruby spoke again, saying, “She’s extremely intoxicated and completely oblivious to anything.”

“So you actually care about her a lot?” The man in the center laughed, “This just got a lot more interesting…”

After his words fell, he suddenly took two steps forward, grabbed Madeleine’s hair with one hand. He handed her over to two other men, before looking at Ruby and saying, “Letting her go would be so boring, Ms. Gregory. Let’s play a game.”

As he spoke, Madeleine was swiftly restrained by the two men and brutally pinned against the opposite wall.
