Chapter 318 Life And Death
Cecilia immediately felt as if a cold and powerful iron pincer was gripping her neck. There
was a piercing pain in her throat, and the suffocating feeling instantly went straight to her
brain.
Her eyes widened in shock as if she was still shocked that someone had grabbed her by the
throat.
“How could anyone bear to treat me like this?” she thought.
She was so delicate that she had never thought that someone would treat her so ruthlessly.
She had only captured their child, but they actually treated her like this!
“Damn it, everyone in the Lockwood family deserves to die!” she cursed secretly.
Draxton’s large hand gripped Cecilia’s neck tightly. The strength was so strong and ruthless
that it was as if he wanted to snap this woman’s neck.
However, he was very restrained. It was the amount of strength that didn’t kill people but
dealt the most damage.
He grabbed Cecilia’s neck and quickly returned to his original position.
His speed was so fast that no one could react.
Cecilia was in extreme pain. The suffocation made her face turn red and gradually turn
purple.
She raised an arm and reached in Julian’s direction. Her mouth opened and closed as she
begged for help. but because her throat was tightly held, she could not make any sound.
Julian’s expression changed. He stared at Draxton and said, “Mr. Lockwood, what do you
mean by this?”
Draxton looked at him with dark eyes. Instead of answering, he asked, “Mr. Duncan, the
Lockwood family and the Barclays family have been at odds with each other for a century.”
“But do you know why our families can still leave everything behind and work together
now?” he added. Julian was stunned. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something
and his expression changed drastically.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJulian looked at Draxton without saying anything.
Cecilia’s eyes widened with pain. She was also wondering why.
“The Lockwood family and the Barclays family are clearly enemies, but why are they still
willing to work with each other without any misgivings?” she thought.
Draxton looked at Julian indifferently and said, “Because the dispute between the Lockwood
family and the Barclays family is only targeted at the competition for resources.”
“Our families have always adhered to a bottom line, which is not to harm our families,” he
added.
“And you, Mr. Duncan and Miss Grey, you are taking my daughter’s life as a joke. Seventy
years ago, a direct member of my family was killed by the enemy. Do you know what the
Lockwood family did?” he continued.
Julian’s expression darkened even more.
As for Cecilia, whose eyes were wide open and faces were filled with pain and resentment,
she seemed to have thought of something and her eyes finally revealed a trace of deep
fear.
Draxton ignored their expressions and said, “Those who hurt my family will definitely not
get away with it without paying.”
“That enemy’s family was elated by the Lockwood family. Not a single living thing was left
alive. It’s not an exaggeration to say that blood flowed like a river.”
Julian’s expression was incomparably solemn. He said in a deep voice, “Mr. Lockwood,
although we were in the wrong this time, we don’t have to take it this far where one of us
has to die for it.”
“Calm down first. Why don’t we discuss how to save your daughter first and not waste time
here?”
“I’m very calm.” Draxton looked at the woman whose neck he was holding and said calmly,
“Miss Grey, why don’t we play a game? A game of life and death!”
Cecilia’s pupils constricted violently. She had a sudden sinking feeling in the pit of her
stomach.
The next moment, Draxton let go of Cecilia.
Cecilia felt the air rushing toward her. She immediately took a deep breath greedily. As she
took a deep breath, she looked at Julian with teary eyes and ran toward him.
At this moment, Draxton said, “Miss Grey, I advise you not to run toward Mr. Duncan. You
should run further away, ten kilometers away, let’s say.”
“Within ten kilometers, my men will keep chasing you. If you can dodge them and run ten
kilometers away, you will survive,” he added.
“However, if you can’t dodge or escape, my men will first chop off your hands and feet
before chopping off your head. Miss Grey, don’t just stand there. Time has begun. Please
play this game seriously, because if you’re not careful, you’ll lose a hand, a foot, or even
your life,” he continued
Julian’s expression instantly darkened. He did not expect Draxton to show him no respect at
all.
Draxton looked over expressionlessly and said coldly, “Mr. Duncan, if you don’t want things
to get out of hand, then it’s best not to interfere in this game. Miss Grey joked about my
daughter. She has to be punished, don’t you think so?”
Julian fell silent.
Cecilia looked at Julian in disbelief. Julian’s heart ached as he said, “Celia, you have to bear
the
consequences yourself.”
Cecilia’s face turned pale.
She looked aggrieved and wanted to say something, but at this moment, the members of
Big Dipper and Little Dipper had already rushed forward. Their long sabers that flickered
with a cold light slashed at Cecilia’s hand without pity.
Cecilia screamed in fear and dodged in a sorry state.
However, the long saber was like a poisonous snake as it slashed down again.
Big Dipper and Little Dipper’s eyes were filled with excitement. Josh said, “Folks, be careful.
This woman has
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏma poisonous snake on her wrist. Be careful not to be bitten by it.”
“We’re not afraid. The pill given by Mrs. Lockwood is immune to all poisons. Why would we
be afraid of a mere poisonous snake?”
They discussed animatedly, but their movements were not slow at all.
When Cecilia realized that Julian and his men did not come to save her, she finally realized
the seriousness of the game.
She finally understood that she was really facing a game of life and death.
“No, how could this be a game?” she thought.
This was clearly the Lockwood family’s revenge on her.
She had only caught their child, which was intended as a joke, yet they used such a cruel
method to get back. at her.
She believed they were way too ruthless.
Cecilia quickly dodged the long saber that was slashing at her hand again. She got up from
the ground in a sorry state and ran into the distance.
Big Dipper and Little Dipper’s members quickly chased after her.
Their eyes were excited and cold. It was this woman who had captured Miss Lockwood. They
would not rest until this woman was better off dead today.
This was a game of life and death, but it was also a game of cat and mouse.
Cecilia was wearing a ten-centimeter stiletto. She quickly sprained her ankle.
She was in so much pain that her face was covered in a cold sweat. However, when she
turned around, she saw members of Big Dipper and Little Dipper chasing after her.
A malicious glint flashed across her eyes.
She sat down, took off her shoes, then grabbed her feet. There was a sharp crack as she set
her bones right.
Then, she pulled off her heels, put on her shoes again, and ran quickly.
Her feet still hurt but she couldn’t care less.
Cecilia thought that this was the first time she had experienced embarrassment since
Jocelyn betrayed Clan Mobius.
In fact, this sorry state was not inferior to what Jocelyn had brought her.
