Chapter 753 Why Is Waylon Here?
Incredulous, Adam dashed to the window. He saw that Abel had arrived at the estate and was leading dozens of
mercenaries in the courtyard.
The Imperial Palace guards were losing out and retreated continuously.
They had rescued Flynn and Benjamin and carried them out of the basement.
Adam exclaimed with deep sorrow, "What a mess!"
Wait a second!
He suddenly caught sight of a figure in the crowd. That man resembled…
No, that’s impossible!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The downstairs hall's front door was breached by the mercenaries.
Abel's voice was heard. He yelled, "Emma, where are you? Your husband is here to save you! Emma!"
"Abel! Hubby!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEmmeline heard Abel calling to her. She was rendered unconscious after Adam struck her with his palm.
The downstairs hall's front door was breached by the mercenaries.
When Benjamin's voice came from downstairs, Adam was about to carry Emmeline away and flee.
Benjamin shouted, "Emma, don't be afraid. Both me and Waylon are here to save you. Where are you?"
Waylon?
When he heard this, Adam's complexion turned white as a sheet.
That familiar figure is indeed Waylon! What brings him here? He shouldn't have been affected by this situation.
Unless…
Adam casted a glance at Emmeline in his arms.
Could it be that she is a member of the Adelmars?
This thought sent a shiver down Adam's spine. In an instant, he felt that he could not afford to keep Emma around.
Even my grandpa couldn't handle the Adelmars in his time. How am I capable of doing that?
Adam started to get anxious when he noticed that Abel and the others were about to go upstairs. He shut the door
to the room and dragged a table to block it.
The door was being pounded on after a short while. Abel called out, "Emma, are you in there? Emma, your husband
is here!"
Adam disguised his voice behind the door. He threatened, "Abel! Emmeline is in my hands. I command you to
withdraw to the courtyard!"
When they heard this, Waylon, Benjamin, and Abel outside the door were all taken aback.
Emmeline is here! Our efforts have not been in vain!
Abel's eyes turned red, and he furiously pounded the door. He screamed, "Hand over Emma now! You scum! You
won't get away from this!"
Adam shouted, "If I can't escape, Emmeline will die with me!"
Abel roared, "What do you mean?! If you dare to hurt as much as a strand of hair on my Emma, I'll riddle you with
bullet holes!"
Adam responded solemnly, "I couldn’t bring myself to hurt as much as a single strand of hair on Emma. So please
retreat to the courtyard now, or I'll jump from here with Emma!"
Benjamin asked, "Who are you? Why do you have Emma as a hostage?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAdam replied, "It doesn't matter who I am! If you want Emmeline to stay alive, do as I say and retreat to the
courtyard!"
Both Abel and Benjamin were at a loss for words.
Waylon said in a deep voice, "We have to do as he said."
Abel chided angrily, "Damn it! How do I know Emma is in your hands for real?
Adam replied, "Retreat to the courtyard. You will see Emma at the window."
"Let's go down," Waylon said again.
Abel turned around reluctantly and led the mercenaries downstairs.
Everyone turned to face the window when they arrived in the courtyard. Sure enough, they saw a man holding
Emmeline by the window. Emmeline appeared to be unconscious as she lay on his shoulder.
The man had a black striped bed sheet draped over his head and a piece of black striped cloth covering his face.
His deep and gloomy eyes were visible through two holes cut out of the black cloth. When they saw this image,
people would associate Satan with him.
Abel frowned as he realized that this man reminded him of someone.
It seemed... Why did I have a feeling that this man resembled Adam?
