Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther)
Chapter 1779: Three-Way Confrontation

Chapter 1779: Three-Way Confrontation

Luther handed Alisha, whom he had been holding in his arms, over to Reuben and whispered, "I'll stand in front later. Once I find a breakthrough, you take the opportunity to leave and hand Alisha over to Joyce. I'll stay here, so you don't have to worry."

Reuben hesitated for a moment before reluctantly taking Alisha into his arms. They were surrounded by the enemy, armed with heavy weapons. How could he find an opportunity to escape? Unless he could disappear into thin air. And Luther said he didn't have to worry? What could Luther do by himself?

Finally, Reuben said, "You be careful."

Luther didn't respond directly. He stood in front of Alisha and raised his voice, "Athena, let's not involve the child in our affairs anymore. If you have any issues, come at me."

Athena laughed loudly, her beautiful and enchanting face looking particularly sinister in the dim night. "What's the use of coming at you? Will you obediently come with me? Will you divorce and marry me? Luther, I've loved you since we were young, and you know it. I've loved you for so many years, what can you offer me in return for my love? I just wanted the three of us to be together, even this simple wish you can't fulfill. What more can I expect from you?"

She pointed at Alisha. "Even if you retrieve the detonator, so what? It's nothing special. Everyone around me belongs to me. After I capture Alisha again, I can implant it in her once more. No one can leave today!"

Upon hearing this, Luther clenched his fists, his veins bulging. This crazy woman actually wanted to harm Alisha.

He carried weapons on him, and naturally, he had made preparations. A large number of special police and mercenaries had long been ambushed in the surrounding area. He couldn't afford to be unprepared. However, in the current situation, it was difficult not to harm Alisha if they started firing at each other recklessly.

After hearing Athena's words, Reuben couldn't help rolling his eyes. This woman was indeed mentally unstable.

"Hey, do you understand love? Love is about selflessness, about acceptance. Love is loving everything about the other person and giving selflessly. If you expect something in return, that's not love, that's selfish desire. Do you understand?" Reuben shouted loudly.

This sentence completely enraged Athena.

Athena immediately pointed her gun at Reuben, her eyes burning with anger.

Luther instinctively stood in front of Reuben, protecting Alisha while also trying not to harm the innocent.

At the same time, he drew his pistol and aimed it at Athena's heart, sternly saying, "Athena, drop the gun! I advise you to retreat while you still can. Khebury is my territory, not a place where you can call the shots!"

After speaking, he suddenly fired a signal flare into the sky, accompanied by a sharp sound that pierced the air.

A dazzling arc of light cut through the sky, illuminating the surroundings.

"My people will arrive immediately. If you don't want to trigger an international conflict, let go now," Luther issued his final warning.

Athena glared at Luther with hatred. "You still have a signal flare? Dream on if you think I'll let go!"

At this moment, Reuben patted Luther and said, "Hey, not bad, you have a backup plan."

Athena stared at Reuben intently, squinting her eyes. She suddenly picked up the flashlight from another person in black beside her and shone the blinding light directly at Reuben.

Reuben didn't dodge, allowing Athena to scrutinize him.

Athena's expression turned serious. "It's you! You're Prince Rohomes, I know you!"

She thought for a moment, then finally remembered, "You're Reuben?!"

Reuben didn't confirm or deny it. It was only a matter of time before Athena discovered his identity; it was not surprising.

"Well, what a coincidence. Today, I have an unexpected gain. Reuben, the person that Prince Masato wants to eliminate the most! You think I would miss such a great opportunity? You won't leave here alive tonight. I want you dead!" Athena laughed wildly.

Luther furrowed his brow. Prince Masato, was she referring to Clint? The eldest son of Rohomes? Athena's background was deeply connected to the Rohomes family. That was why he was cautious about the Rohomes. He didn't want to cause an international incident because of his own affairs.

At this moment, Reuben approached Luther and explained in a low voice, "Athena's aunt, Taura Yoshikawa, married the current emperor, and their child is the eldest son, Clint. The Yoshikawa family is the biggest dark power in Rohomes, and Taura and Charity are sisters. So, Clint is Athena's cousin. As for me, my mother is from the Pascaylia people. I have no blood relation with Athena, that psycho woman." Luther furrowed his brow even tighter. Athena's deep connection to the Rohomes royal family was surprising. Athena being the cousin of the current crown prince and the most competitive heir to the throne. Athena, the cousin of the crown prince, no wonder OGW had ties to the Rohomes royal family and dared to be so arrogant.

Dealing with Athena was equivalent to being an enemy of the entire Rohomes royal family.

Therefore, even with his reinforcements, he couldn't easily kill Athena tonight.

Athena turned to the black-clad people next to her and ordered, "Except for Luther, kill everyone else without mercy."

Then, she gave Luther a seductive smile. "Luther, since you're so heartless, I won't be polite tonight. Everyone except you will die! It's because of you that our family won't have a happy reunion. Don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Luther was familiar with Athena's style. The moment she gave the order, he had already reacted. He forcefully pushed Reuben and Alisha to a low wall nearby. No matter what, he couldn't let Alisha be harmed anymore.

Just as the firefight was about to break out, suddenly, a commotion came from behind the black-clad people.

The rear became chaotic, causing the black-clad people in front to turn around and look.

They saw dozens of military anti-explosion vehicles speeding and stopping, and dozens of people in military uniforms descended from the vehicles. They all held rifles and quickly surrounded the black-clad people, pointing their guns at each other.

Athena cursed, "Damn it, it's the military! Damn you, Joyce."

At the same time, a large number of special police and mercenaries arrived. They were summoned by the signal flare Luther had fired. They had been lurking nearby all along, and the signal flare was just a signal to act.

Inner circle, outer circle.

The three parties surrounded each other and there was no escape.
