You Hit My Heart by Kylie Stanford

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 | 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, cat 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 cwith 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 offerin return for my love? | just wanted the three of us to be together,

even this simple wish you can't fulfill. What more can | expect from you?"

She pointed at Alisha. "Even if you retrieve the detonator, so what? It's nothing special. Everyone aroundbelongs to me. After |

capture Alisha again, | 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 stime, he drew his pistol and aimed it at Athena's heart, sternly saying, "Athena, drop the gun! | 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, | 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 tbefore Athena discovered his identity; it was not surprising.

"Well, what a coincidence. Today, | have an unexpected gain. Reuben, the person that Prince Masato wants to eliminate the most!

You think | would miss such a great opportunity? You won't leave here alive tonight. | 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. | have no blood relation with Athena,

Luther furrowed his brow even tighter. Athena's deep connection to the Rohomes royal family was surprising. Athena being the
