Matter of Love novel Chapter 778

"Anytime." Greg didn't take York's threat seriously, but when he turned to Leona, his expression changed and said coldly, "humph, it's really a deep love between you two. You are all willing to pay for each other. It's disgusting."

Greg said with contempt, turned around and left the hospital.

Looking at his back, Leona felt as if there was an invisible wall between the two of them, separating them into two distant worlds. His eyes full of disgust before leaving lingered in Leona's heart for a long time.

Grabbing her clothes hard on her chest, Leona closed her eyes and forced herself to calm down. She had already told herself not to care about it, so what else could she think about? She just needed to face it calmly.

It was not until a long time later that Leona gradually calmed down. When she entered Eden's ward, she had changed into smile.

After coming out of the hospital, Greg drove at full speed on the road and passed many red lights along the way. The cold wind outside the window blew on his face, as painful as a knife, but it couldn't blow away his anger.

What had happened just now still appeared in his mind from time to time. He was furious at what Leona had done to protect York. If Leona was the obstacle in Janie's heart, York was the Greg's obstacle.

York and Leona had known each other when they were in college. If he hadn't intervened forcefully, their children would have been older than Eden.

First love was the best, and York was the first love of Leona, which had always been a thorn in Greg's heart. If he didn't pull it out, it would fester sooner or later.

Greg grasped the steering wheel tightly with one hand and stepped hard on the accelerator to the end. Looking straight ahead, the car sped out. York, you are destined to be a loser in my life. Just wait...

In Europe, Jackie put the box into his left pocket. He slowly stood up and looked at the approaching black car with his arms crossed.

The injury on his foot made him know that he could not escape at all, so he simply did not run away, standing here and waiting for the other party to come.

With a squeak of brake, the black car following Jackie closely stopped.

"Hand over the Ninth-refined Ring, or you won't leave here alive." A tall black man got out of the car and stood in front of Jackie, looking down at him.

Exhausted, Jackie sat on the ground. At this time, he was not afraid at all. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it into his mouth, but did not find the fire lighter. He looked at the big black man in front of him and said, "Hey, borrow me your fire lighter."

Although the black man was in a hurry to find Ninth-refined Ring, he didn't act rashly. He was very clear that the man in front of him was Chris's brother, and Chris just said that he wanted them to find Ninth-refined Ring, but he didn't say how to deal with Jackie.

He took out the lighter from his pocket and threw it to Jackie. "Here you are. I advise you not to play any tricks. You can't escape. All the exits here have been blocked by our people, unless you hand over Ninth-refined Ring."

Jackie took a drag on his cigarette and blew out a big smoke ring. He squinted at the man in black. After a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "Chris has spent a lot of money to deal with me. Sir, how about we make a deal? You escort me out of here. I'll give you double what Chris offered you."

The man in black fixed his eyes on Jackie and shook his head. Jackie thought he didn't pay enough money. He believed that loyalty only exists when the price was not attractive enough. As long as he was willing to pay a lot, there would be no one who couldn't be bribed.

"Three times, five times, ten times." Jackie kept raising the price, but the black man in front of him was still unmoved. Jackie couldn't hold his breath. Every second he stayed here, his danger would increase. He had to leave as soon as possible.

And now even if the man was willing to let him go, it was difficult for him to escape in his current state. The best way was to bribe the other party to take him away.

Jackie said impatiently, "How about you name a price? As long as you tell, I can give you. Of course, you must send me out safely."

Seeing the hesitation on the man's face, Jackie knew that he was attracted by the offer. Sure enough, no one in the world could not be moved by money, not to mention that the reason why they followed Chris was only money.

"Twenty times." Jackie looked at the big black man adding more money. Jackie didn't believe that he wouldn't be moved.

Sure enough, after hearing Jackie's price, the big black man's eyes showed a trace of greed. He nodded and said, "Okay, deal. Get in the car. I know there is a place not blocked by Chris."

Jackie was about to get in the car, but he found that there were two people in the car besides the big black man. He hesitated for a moment and pointed to them.

Following the direction Jackie pointed, the black man grinned and said, "Don't worry. These two are my good friends who have risked their lives with me. They all listen to me."

Jackie felt a little relieved and followed the big black man to the car. He secretly reached out one hand behind his back and grabbed the handle of the pistol, just in case.

The man in black nodded to the two people in the car, and then took Jackie into the car. The car was bumping on the mountain road. Jackie looked out of the window nervously and was thinking about what to do next.

All of a sudden, a sharp light flashed through the corner of Jackie's eyes. Jackie had already felt the extreme nervousness. He raised his hand as fast as he could and shot at the person sitting next to him.

With a bang, a hole appeared in the man's temple on the left. The blood flowed out, and the man was holding a syringe in his hand, which was filled with half a tube of injection.

The big black man and the driver in front of them were shocked by the sudden noise. They immediately reacted and took out their guns, ready to fight back. However, Jackie's gun was in his hand. He raised his gun and shot the big black man and the driver two times in a row.

Blood splashed on Jackie's face, and the strong smell of blood filled the whole car. The beaten driver stepped on the accelerator, and the out of control car rushed down the cliff...
