Reborn Through Fire (Kisa and Gilbert) novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174 Take Me As a Hostage

“You can’t go!” Madalyn yelled at the top of her lungs.

Gilbert shook his head and looked at his grandmother in puzzlement. “I’m just trying to save them. What’s wrong with that?”

“It is wrong for you to save the murderer who wants your grandmother dead.”

Looking at Madalyn’s insistent attitude, Gilbert was anguished. He asked himself if the relationship between his grandma and Kisa had come to the point of beyond salvage. But he had to go, even if his grandmother

opposed it. He walked past Madalyn and out without looking back.

Madalyn cried out in grief behind him. “She wants your grandmother dead. If you insist on taking the risk of saving her, you will regret it when you find out the truth. “She fell, sitting to the floor. “That woman should never have been born. She should never have come into this

world.”

In the warehouse, Kisa was relieved to see that Howard had been convinced. She glanced at Sharon and saw that she had not yet come out of her shock. Her eyes were still wide open and she could not speak, her body shaking.

Howard crouched aside to smoke again. He was not as

insane and irritable as he was just now. At the moment, he was deep in a frown, like he was planning something.

Kisa’s heart sank when she thought of his scheming. She said, “Gilbert’s goal is just to save me and Sharon.

Howard just gave a sinister smile. “Do you want to know who Gilbert really cares about?” Kisa frowned, wondering what he meant by that. And he said again, “How about I verify that for you later?”

“What do you want to do?”

Howard did not reply. He just smiled. The more secretive he became, the more uneasy Kisa became.

Gilbert arrived and appeared at the warehouse door before 5 pm. He was carrying two large leather suitcases in his hands.

Howard smirked and said, “You are quick. It seems these two women are really important to you.”

Gilbert took a quick glance at Kisa and was relieved to see that she was unharmed. He opened the suitcases and the bills inside were neatly arranged. “Fifty million dollars. are all here, and your route out of the city has been arranged. All you have to do is take this money to the ferry and someone will meet you there.”

“How can I trust you?”

“You can let them go and exchange me as a hostage,” Gilbert said calmly. “They will only slow you down in

their current conditions.”

“Oh, you are so thoughtful, but unfortunately…” Howard’s eyes suddenly turned icy. “I don’t believe you. You are a good fighter. Am I not asking for trouble to take you in as a hostage?”

Gilbert frowned, as Howard was not cooperative. “What do you want?”

“How about this: the two of them, you can only save one, the other as my hostage? I will let her go as soon as I have left safely.”

Gilbert held the suitcases tightly in his hands. “I have to take both of them.”

“That is not possible. If you take both of them, I will be left with no insurance. Besides, if you are not playing any tricks, you don’t have to be worried that I won’t let her go.

“Gilbert, save me! Save me! You must save me.‘
