Chapter 1474 Whoever's Lucky Gets to Leave
At that moment, Olivia was filled with deep regret. Perhaps they wouldn't have been taken away if she had been with them.
They might feel somewhat safer if she could head inside and be with them.
While holding back his anger, Eugene asked, "What do you want? Promise Island or my life?" But Joseph chortled arrogantly. "I don't want to talk to you."
Olivia knew that he wanted to talk to her.
When her master came to bring her away from Double Dragon Court, they only went through Jonathan and without Joseph. Later, she heard Joseph had made a big fuss about it.
Therefore, he was probably thinking of making things difficult for her.
She clenched her teeth and asked, "I'll do the talking. What do you want?"
Joseph smirked, resembling a venomous snake flicking its tongue. "I want to meet with you, my dear old friend."
Olivia responded, "Fine. Exchange me for them."
Eugene was startled and grabbed her. "Are you crazy? I can't let you exchange yourself for them. Do you want to scare me to death?"
Olivia whispered, "There's no other way, Eugene. Look at Blake. He can't go without medication for a
long time, or his condition could worsen at any moment. We won't have time to save him if that happens."
The grip Eugene had on her hand tightened. "Even if you exchange yourself for Blake, how can we save him without you?"
Olivia assured him, "Don't worry. I have a way to escape. Don't forget that I am now the princess of Eurosia. He wouldn't dare to do anything to me."
In the meantime, Joseph watched them whispering and discussing. He chuckled. "You have no right to negotiate with me. Either you come in, or you may leave. Your four sons are more valuable than you."
Olivia didn't expect Joseph to act so despicably. If he didn't intend to exchange her for the children, why did he insist on letting her go inside?
"Mr. Joseph, considering that I was once a member of Double Dragon Court, I will exchange myself for them. I'm sure you also know Blake is sick and will die if he doesn't take his medication soon. I think your intention when kidnapping them is not to kill them, right? If you're doing this to avenge Blood Rose, then I am the one you should be after."
After thinking about it momentarily, Joseph replied, "Alright, since you mentioned the past and I'm someone who values past relationships, I'll let you exchange yourself for one of them. Don't try negotiating with me for anything else, and don't push your luck."
Olivia responded, "Okay."
When Joseph turned to look at the children beside him, who were pretending to be calm, he couldn't help but smirk inside. They are indeed Eugene's children. Ordinary children would have been scared and started crying if they had a gun pointed at their heads.
Intrigued, He asked in a low voice, "Do you want to leave?"
The children looked at each other and nodded, "Yes."
But Joseph sighed and tried to turn them against each other. "It's a pity that your mommy is biased. She says she's willing to exchange herself for Blake. Looks like she doesn't care about you guys anymore. How about we play a game? You guys draw lots, and the lucky one will leave? How does that sound?" Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
North frowned and glanced at Joseph without any fear. "There's no need to draw lots. He is Blake. Let him leave."
A surprised look appeared on Joseph's face. How can these children still be so considerate at a time like this?
He continued, "Do you know that staying means death?"
North said, "Yes."
Puzzled, Joseph asked, "Since you know that, why don't you want to leave? Aren't you afraid?"
North replied, "We are, but if only one person gets to leave, it will be Blake because he's sick."
Joseph said, "How touching."
North rebuked, "If you and your brother were in danger, you would also try to find a way to protect him."
Joseph raised an eyebrow. "What does a little kid like you know? Come on, I will leave it to fate. Whoever's lucky gets to leave. Otherwise, none of you can go out."
Furrowing his brows even tighter, North thought the chance Blake would get drawn was too small as it
was based entirely on luck. There was no room for cheating.
He thought momentarily and negotiated, "We don't have paper and pen, and it would be troublesome for you to leave and get them, so let's do it this way. We'll play rock, paper, scissors. Whoever wins gets to leave. How about that?"
