She paused before she added viciously, “Why don’t you dig out his child for him to see? Won’t that be more satisfying?”
There was silence in the room. No one spoke for a moment. Katie’s vicious suggestion stunned everyone.
Then, Lorenzo smiled sinisterly and responded, “Miss Glyn, your idea coincides perfectly with mine.”
His malicious laughter was followed by a loud bang. The hammer in Lorenzo’s hand suddenly fell beside Katie’s foot.
“Ah!” Katie screamed, clutching her head. She still had lingering fear of the sharp pain she had just felt.
At Katie’s timid appearance, Lorenzo couldn’t help laughing heartily.
Just then, a faint sneer sounded in the room. “It turns out that Lorenzo, the infamous Blood Knight, is just a complete fool.”
Lorenzo turned around and saw Cornell with blood on the corner of his mouth glaring at him contemptuously.
Lorenzo stepped forward and said in an unexpected gentle expression, “Are you talking about me?” Along with his amiable tone was a chilling sound of bones cracking.
Katie, watching from behind, saw clearly as Lorenzo effortlessly crushed Cornell’s kneecap with his bare hands.
Lorenzo used only one hand to break a hard kneecap. It was such a horrifying display of power.
Cornell was clearly at a disadvantage at the moment. But he Looked even more terrifying. He didn’t make any sound. Even when his kneecap was crushed, he didn’t even frown. Such endurance was something ordinary people did not equip.
The two men confronted each other, and neither was willing to yield.
Coincidentally, Lorenzo was dressed in black while Cornell was now in a white shirt. The blood stains on Cornell’s shirt made them Look like printed flowers. The two men were in stark contrast. It was as if the evil and the righteous were in an ultimate showdown.
Lorenzo was surprised by Cornell’s stoicism. He murmured, “Hmm… Such an impressive composure. But how dare you call me a fool! Are you so eager to die?”
“What? Did I say something wrong?” As he spoke, Cornell’s voice was slightly hoarse, indicating he was affected by his broken kneecap. It was just that he was exceptionally tolerant of pain.
Although his hands were handcuffed to the pillar behind him, and his kneecap was broken, Cornell didn’t kneel at all. Instead, he half- bent his intact knee and straightened his back. He was tenacious, refusing to give in.

“I heard that the Blood Knight is known for his swift, ruthless, and accurate methods. But waver after listening to a woman’s plea for life? Disappointed!” Cornell scorned.
Cornell’s words clearly suggested that Katie was merely fabricating excuses to escape.
Katie’s face immediately drained of color upon hearing this, cursing Cornell silently.
Cornell’s eyes were filled with coldness and mockery, adding, “It seems rumors are not always credible.”
Sure enough, Cornell’s words provoked Lorenzo. He quickly pulled out a delicate gun from his coat, aimed at Katie.
“The consequence of playing tricks on me is always the same,” Lorenzo said coldly. He didn’t turn around, and his gaze was fixed on Cornell. But the gun in his hand was accurately aimed at the center of Katie’s head.
Katie was so nervous that her heart was about to explode. Her eyes widened in shock, and she stammered in a panic, “No, no, no… Mr. Maxwell, please believe me… He… He’s just trying to protect his woman and his child.”
At this moment, the man in black who went to call the Shadows rushed back in and reported, “Mr. Maxwell, the Shadows cannot be contacted.”
The Shadows were all out of contact. At a time like this, it surely meant trouble. It was likely that the special forces of Ambrosia had killed Lorenzo’s Shadows.
At the thought of this, Lorenzo swiftly turned the gun at Cornell and pressed the muzzle against his forehead. “Humph! It’s you, right?”
Cornell replied calmly, “This is the International Banquet Center. There are surveillance cameras every three meters. Even if you destroy the surveillance system, there will still be traces left. Besides, you’ve been here for more than half an hour. If someone notices something strange, it’s normal for them to call the police.”
Lorenzo thought for a moment. He realized Cornell’s words made sense.
However… He scoffed. “You are only trying to provoke me into killing that woman. She seems to be telling the truth.”
Cornell looked up, but before he could respond, Lorenzo turned to Katie, seeking confirmation with his gaze.
Katie breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed Lorenzo hadn’t really intended to kill her just now. She glared fiercely at Cornell, who was still half-kneeling on the floor defiantly.
Katie seized the opportunity to explain to Lorenzo, “Mr. Maxwell, his ex-wife is the woman we talked about. The one who has escaped you multiple times. Don’t you want to catch her yourself and torture her?”
Lorenzo relaxed his grip on the gun, raising it slightly as he stood.
“Is it her?” Lorenzo’s question was for Katie.
Lorenzo knew that the marriage system in Ambrosia was monogamous.
However, it was common for wealthy people to have several wives lurking in the background. It was also normal for some to divorce and get married several times. So, it didn’t occur to him that the ex-wife Katie mentioned before was Audrey.
Katie nodded vigorously. “Yes, it’s her. You’ve met her before. You don’t think I’m lying to you now, right?”
Lorenzo’s interest was piqued at this moment. He thought of Audrey, the prey that had slipped through his fingers twice before. Finally, he could now crush her in his hands again. Suddenly, he felt his blood boiling with excitement, almost screaming deep inside him. He said, “Miss Glyn, tell me where she is.”
Katie unconsciously shivered. But she did not forget that she was still fighting for her safety. “Yes, I can tell you, Mr. Maxwell. But can you… Can you spare me?”
“Don’t worry. After we find her, I guarantee you can get out of here safe and sound. But…” Lorenzo paused and smiled, showing his pearly white teeth. “If I find out you are lying to me, I’ll cut your stomach open and pull out your intestines. It should be quite entertaining.”

Katie was too terrified to react. She had never been this scared before.
Lorenzo’s smile grew even brighter. “Don’t be afraid, Miss Glyn. It will also be an interesting experience.”
Katie’s teeth chattered in terror. “Mr. Maxwell, rest assured I am not lying to you. Absolutely not!”
Lorenzo nudged Katie’s chin with the muzzle of his gun. “Come on, darling. Tell me.”
His voice sounded so gentle. But a fatal threat always accompanied his gentleness.
Katie stammered, “She… She is in Suite 8019 on the eighth floor. I… I had someone confirm and lock it personally. It can’t be wrong.”
“Okay, that’s good. If I find her, you’ll get a reward, darling. Which part of this man do you like? His eyes? His Lips? Hmm… Perhaps his sexy Adam’s apple? Whatever you like, I’ll cut it off and give it to you as a thank-you gift. How about that?”
Katie was rendered speechless. She felt nauseous upon hearing Lorenzo’s words. She prided herself on being as heartless as a murderer. But compared to Lorenzo, she was nothing. He seemed to find joy in killing.
When Lorenzo saw Katie’s terrified expression, he stood up with satisfaction and ordered his men, “Detonate the explosives on the west window. Since their special forces touched our Shadows, it’s only right we return the favor with a little gift. Keep an eye on these two. I’ll go meet that dear lady.”
As he spoke, Lorenzo’s gaze fell on Cornell. Cornell’s expression was still unreadable, leaving him uncertain whether it was a deep disguise or indifference. Once Audrey was captured, would Cornell remain this calm? Lorenzo smirked, find the situation amusingly.
As Lorenzo left with his gun, a thunderous explosion was heard from the southwest direction of the International Banquet Center.
A ball of fire soared in the sky and thick black smoke billowed from the southwest part of the building. The smell of sulfur filled the entire street.
The special forces below immediately ducked and retreated to a safe area. They understood this was a warning from Lorenzo’s men upstairs.
If they dared to get close, the entire building would be blown up.
While swirling smoke filled the air, Matteo found one of the special forces captains and said, “I can contact someone inside. But I need to see the commander of this operation first.”
After verifying Matteo’s identity, the captain informed his superior.
The commander of this operation soon replied, “Bring him in.”
The captain escorted Matteo to a makeshift command center. “Go on in.”
Inside, a middle-aged man in his forties greeted Matteo. “You said you could contact someone inside? What do you mean?”
“Hello, Commander. There’s a jammer installed inside. But I just found out through the GPS that my boss’ wife is also inside the building.”
The commander looked puzzled. “Your boss’ wife?”
Matteo clarified, “It’s my boss’s ex-wife.”
The commander questioned, “We’ve already evacuated all unrelated personnel from the building. How is she still inside?”
“I’m not sure,” Matteo replied. “We need to get in touch with her to find out. That’s why I came to you. Once we contact her, we can plan our next move.”
They checked the satellite data and confirmed Audrey was indeed in the building.
Cap?tulo 948:
Two hours earlier, the special forces had received information that Lorenzo, a ruthless man with many killings to his name, was at the International Banquet Center. They monitored the center’s entrance closely and managed to evacuate everyone safely. Initially, they had planned for the informant,
Cornell, to leave as well.
However, Cornell claimed it was too late and Lorenzo was specifically targeting him. He stayed inside to assist with the operation.
Although everything seemed perfectly arranged, Lorenzo had still managed to place explosives at the banquet center undetected, a bold move indeed.
Now, Cornell’s life was in immediate danger. The situation was critical and required swift action.
After confirming Matteo was clear, the commander didn’t hesitate and said, “Make the call.”
Matteo used the satellite phone.
