After hanging up, Clarence explained the situation.
He had to go to Bat Hill, even if it meant he would have to go through immense dangers and difficulties.
Cecilia grabbed Clarence. “You can’t go.
“They’re obviously after you. You’re going to die if you go there.
“I don’t want anything to happen to you again. Do you know how worried I was when you were unconscious for three days?”
Cecilia’s eyes were red. “When I found out you were attacked, I was filled with fear. I was so relieved once I knew you were okay.
“I couldn’t eat or sleep well those three days.
“Miranda’s already divorced you. Even if she’s dead, what does that have to do with you?
“Why risk your life for that woman?”
What Cecilia had said left Clarence dumbfounded.
It took Clarence a long time before he took a deep breath. “I know you’re worried about me, but I have to save her, Cecilia.”
Everyone also advised Clarence not to take the risk.
Now that Clarence and Miranda were divorced, they technically had nothing to do with each other anymore.
Even if Miranda had been kidnapped, what did that have to do with Clarence?
“Is it because you’re still in love with Miranda?” Cecilia blurted out.
Clarence shook his head.
He looked at everyone. “Even if it wasn’t Miranda who was taken today, and it was Master Williams, you, Julian, Gunther, or Johnson, I would save all of you either way.”
It was just Clarence’s personality.
He treated everyone he cared about equally.
It was not just because Rattlesnake had taken Miranda specifically.
“Well...”
Gunther said fiercely, “Mr. Howard, to tell you the truth, I was unconvinced by you before.
“Didn’t you become sworn brothers with Mr. Julian because you saved him?
“You become Mr. Julian’s sworn brother just because of that. I thought it was pure dumb luck.”
Gunther changed the topic, looking at Clarence with admiration. “But now, I’ve been completely convinced by you. Mr. Howard, I’ll go with you, and be it through fire or water, I’m ready to risk my life.”
Clarence smiled and shook his head. “No thanks. Rattlesnake asked me to go alone.”
Cecilia did not stop Clarence. “Come back safely.”
“I will. Don’t worry. I’ll be back.” Clarence smiled and nodded.
Then, he walked out of the clinic. Driving the Lamborghini Veneno he had won from Mr. Cooke, he pulled out his phone to use its navigation system, stepped on the gas, and headed out of the city.
Bat Hill was more than 120 kilometers away from Mediterranean City. It was close to the rural area near the countryside.
Clarence drove as fast as he could after getting on the beltway.
Rattlesnake had only given him two hours.
Miranda would be in danger if he got stuck in traffic.
Swoosh...
On the beltway, Clarence’s Lamborghini Veneno sped up to 100 miles per hour, almost flying.
“F*ck... What kind of car is this? It’s so fast.”
“It looks to be a Lamborghini Veneno. There are only about a dozen of them in the world, and they’re worth hundreds of millions of dollars each.”
“F*ck, whose son is this?”
“No traffic police would dare to block this car while it’s moving.”
“Block? Only idiots would try to block it. They’ll just write him a traffic ticket and ignore him, unless they have a death wish. ”
Clarence was speeding. The melodious voice in his phone’s navigation system kept warning him, “You’re exceeding the speed limit. You’re exceeding the speed limit.”
Clarence ignored it.
What was supposed to take an hour or so on the beltway was finished in thirty minutes.
At the expressway toll kiosk, the beautiful toll collector kept ogling Clarence and trying to get his number.
Clarence stared coldly ahead, ignoring her.
After getting off the expressway, Clarence drifted and headed toward Bat Hill.
Bat Hill was not very high. It was around 1,500 meters above sea level. Someone from Mediterranean City had been building a tourist villa area on it.
Then, a murder had taken place there, and the plans for the villa area were put on hold.
Clarence drove up a hill lined with half-finished villas on both sides of the road.
Clarence drove to the top of Bat Hill, where a huge Gothic church stood. It was eerie and terrifying.
“Rattlesnake, I’m here. Let Miranda go,” bellowed Clarence.
A gust of chilly wind blew, and Rattlesnake appeared at the church door. “I didn’t think you’d dare to come, boy. Do you care so much about that woman?”
Clarence’s face was grim. “Shut up and let Miranda go.”
“Haha.”
Rattlesnake shook his head. “This is my territory. It’s up to me whether I let her go, not you.
“Come in!”
With that said, he turned around and walked into the church.
Clarence followed him into the church, which was filled with hundreds of people, almost all of whom had attempted to assassinate Clarence at the end of Mediterranean City’s bridge.
Miranda was tied to a pillar in the church. Her pretty face was pale.
Miranda had a complex expression on her face. She felt mixed feelings when she saw that Clarence had actually shown up.
Datura beamed at Clarence.” Hahaha, what a love bug. He would risk his own life for a woman.
“Kill him...” the crazy woman ordered.
Armed with steel knives, several martial artists approached Clarence.
Clarence roared, “Wait!”
“What’s the matter? Are you scared of dying?
“What are you doing here if you’re scared of dying?” Datura’s face was full of mockery.
Clarence looked at Datura coldly. “Who’s trying to kill me?
“Even if I’m going to die, I can’t die a fool.
“There’s no grudge between Dom and me. Even if I’ve saved Roger and his daughter, you wouldn’t go to so much trouble just to kill a barefoot doctor like me!”
Datura froze.
She exchanged a glance with Rattlesnake.
Rattlesnake frowned. “Do you still have no idea who’s trying to kill you, boy?”
“Do I look like I know?” Clarence looked dejected.
Rattlesnake laughed. “Poor thing, you don’t even know who’s trying to kill you. Did you think it was Dom who’s trying to kill you?
“You flatter yourself.
“Do you deserve to have Dom go after your life?”
Clarence asked coldly, “Then who is it?”
Datura covered her lips and smiled. “Someone paid us to kill you.
“Speaking of which, your life is worth a lot of money. It’s worth a billion dollars.
“You know, the head of some small country abroad is usually worth that much, yet you’re worth a billion dollars too?”
Clarence got it. “So it wasn’t Dom who’s been trying to kill me?”
“Of course not. Dom’s got a lot on his plate. He has no time for you. This is just a side gig.” Rattlesnake folded his arms and looked at Clarence aloofly. As far as he was concerned, Clarence was already a dead man.
He added, “We were going to get Chopper to kill you, but you killed the fool.”
Datura could not help scolding, “What a loser.”
Rattlesnake pulled a military triangular bayonet out of his boot. “Alright, enough nonsense. You’ve found out why you’re dying now.
“Don’t worry. We have morals. Since you like this woman so much, we’ll send her down there with you after we kill you.”
Rattlesnake walked toward Clarence.
A dozen martial artists came in from outside the church, blocking Clarence’s escape route.
Miranda’s face was pale, and her lips were black with fear.
She never expected that she would end up dying with Clarence.
Rattlesnake was about to strike when a figure walked in. “Stop! Don’t kill him yet!”
Clarence was stunned.
The voice was so familiar....
