Chapter 58: Help
As the clock ticked by, Constantine and Jacqueline lay side by side on two different couches, Grey restlessly staring at the clock hanging on the wall, her eyes moving with the minute hand, and William gently wrapping his arms around his wife's shoulders and pursing his lips to make his breathing as smooth as possible.
Finally, when the fifteen-minute deadline was up, Konstantin straightened up sharply, his brow furrowed and his expression distorted, and covered his head
Groaning in pain like a hangover.
Abigail anxiously asked, "Where's Jacqueline?" How is she? ”
Konstantin did not answer in a hurry, but picked up a glass of water on the table and drank it, wiped the corners of his mouth without manners, and then said with relief: "..... Although it was a bit of trouble, I brought her back anyway. ”
Before the words fell, Jacqueline, who was lying on the sofa, slowly opened her eyes, frowned in confusion and asked, ".... Where am I? ”
"Thank God, you're finally awake," Grey hugged her daughter and wept with joy as she brushed her hair down her cheeks.
"What's the matter with God, it's obviously me who rescued her, okay?" Konstantin couldn't help but scold, but for the sake of real money, he still didn't say anything.
William breathed a long sigh of relief, a smile finally appeared on his solemn face, and he shook Konstantin's hands heavily, "Thank you very much for your help, the pound will be credited to your account later." ”
"That's what I'm supposed to do." Konstantin nodded humbly, "As long as Miss Jacqueline is okay." ”
"I don't think much of it."
A heavy and hoarse voice sounded in the backyard, Leon was wearing a hoodie, a mask and sunglasses, his right hand was taken out of his coat pocket, and he gently buttoned the floor-to-ceiling glass window, "Can you open the window?" ”
"Who are you?" William asked calmly, wondering why the burglar alarm bell hadn't sounded, and quietly stretched his palm under the coffee table and fumbled for the button to call the guard.
"I'm just an ordinary exorcist, and I don't have anything to worry about," Li Ang pushed his sunglasses and said indifferently, "But I cut off the alarm bell line while you were doing something 'astral walking', and Mr. William, I advise you to take your palms out from under the coffee table, don't waste your efforts,
Because if you're trying to call a few G4S bodyguards, you're going to be disappointed. ”
Leon took a few steps back and turned sideways so that several people in the living room could clearly see the five corpses floating on their backs leaning on the tiles of the pool wall in the backyard pool.
These corpses are all burly and fierce young and middle-aged men, wearing uniform suits, lined with bulletproof vests, pistols pinned to their waists, and even white walkie-talkie earplugs with telescopic wires placed in their ears.
"G4S is the world's largest private security company, and in particular, these five elite security personnel for high-value customers are no less capable of dealing with armed conflict and teamwork as elite special operations units such as the 22nd Special Air Service Regiment or the Green Berets, and they are probably even more professional in terms of security."
"Five security guards are in the backyard, one at the front door, one in the side hall, one on the top floor, and one is hiding in the basement of the villa next door, coordinating the whole situation through the surveillance camera, and it took me a total of five minutes to deal with them one by one - three of them I was looking for the location of the secret whistle. ”
William only felt a tingling on his scalp, he had been in the business world for so many years, and he had faced several kidnapping and assassination attempts on the verge of desperation, and every time these elite bodyguards could save his life at a critical moment, but at this time, the man in the casual hoodie killed them all lightly, and he didn't even make a sound.....
Leon noticed the faint expression of fear on William's face, and spread his hands and said, "Don't get me wrong, Mr. Harris, I'm not a murderous villain, these bodyguards who came out to eat are not dead now, they are just knocked unconscious, but you'd better turn on the pool's thermostat to prevent these bodyguards from waking up with a cold and fever." ”
Before the stunned William Harris could react, Leon had already opened the floor-to-ceiling windows and windows and walked into the living room.
"Mrs. Harris, I suggest you take out the phone that has been quietly placed behind your back and put it back in its place, after all, Gotham has been busy maintaining law and order from the hurricane lately, and it doesn't seem so appropriate to harass 911 so late."
Gray Harris took out the phone from behind her in fear and put it back in a trembling gaze from Leon's gaze.
William is worthy of being an elite person in the upper class, and immediately stabilized his emotions, pulled his wife and daughter behind him in a few steps, looked directly at Li Ang intently, and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?" ”
"As I said, I'm an exorcist," Leon said, "and it's my intention as an exorcist to walk the border between hell and reality and save the helpless from the mire." ”
This is the line that Lao Tzu came up with! Konstantin's eyes twitched, and he took two steps back, he was just a second-rate occultist addicted to alcohol and adrenaline stimulation,
Even if you participate in the street fight after the traditional football game of the British, you have to wait and see in advance whether the opposing camp has daggers, concrete slabs and other lethal weapons.
In other words, he didn't want to provoke the hoodman who could take out five armed security personnel without a word - at least not until he knew the details of the other party.
"Well, sir, please reconsider before you take action, this is the United States, where the rule of law is sound, the criminal investigation system is complete, and any inappropriate behavior may cause a series of bad chain reactions,"
William Harris carefully chose words that were as non-threatening as possible, and with a stiff smile, he said in a harmonious voice: "At the same time, I am also a capitalist with a lot of social resources, and I can provide whatever you want." ”
"That's great." Leon snapped his fingers and pointed his index finger at Jacqueline, who looked dazed, "I want her." ”
William's smile froze, he took a soft breath and said softly, "No, sir, she is my daughter." If you want money, I can contact a Swiss bank within 5 minutes;
If you're looking for a playmate, I can book you a reservation at one of Gotham City's top entertainment clubs. ”
Leon shook his head, stepped forward and gently tugged at it, causing the Harris couple who were in front of Jacqueline to fall on the couch.
"Don't get me wrong about Mr. Harris," Leon said with a chuckle, grabbing Jacqueline's hair, chuckling and slamming the girl's head on the wooden coffee table, as everyone looked horrified and angry.
"All I want is to save her life."
