Chapter 603: I Will Love You Dearly (part one)

"It seems that you've been fooling us all this time. Did you set up this trap to take me as a hostage and use me as leverage to get Hawk back?" Daisy kept her usual cold countenance and looked fearlessly at Hero. When she saw Mary drink the coffee, she also took a sip. But she underestimated them. She didn't expect Mary and Jessica to lay a trap for her.

"It's my great honor to set up a trap for you successfully. After all, you are smart and beautiful. I have always dreamed of capturing you, but never got the chance. You've always been a cautious person, so I had to seek help from others. Luckily, these two ladies have a profound hatred for you and came to me to collaborate with me. I came here for you. Hawk is no longer important. He is useless to me now. Rest assured that I won't use you to rescue him."

Hero leered at Daisy's pretty face. It would have been extremely hard for him to capture her without the help of these two women. After all, Daisy was a tough woman and a skilled fighter. Hero was fascinated with her strength and beauty.

"Hero, what are you doing? You promised me that you would get rid of her for me!" Jessica started to get nervous when she heard Hero's words. She thought he was going to help her. Why was he praising Daisy and looking at her in admiration?

I promised you that you would never see her again, but I never said that I would get rid of her. She is such a delicate beauty. How could I hurt her? I will take good care of her, treat her gently." Hero looked like a gentle person. Someone who had no idea of his true identity would never think that he was an arms dealer.

"You're a bad person. You can't take care of my mom. She only needs me and my dad." Justin glared intensely at Hero. If Hero wasn't their enemy, Justin would admit that he was a man of impressive cleverness. But anyone who tried to destroy his family was a bad guy to him.

"Don't worry, little boy. I love her even more than your dad does. If you want to be with her, I'm okay with that. I will treat you as my son." Hero came up to Justin and reached out his hand in an attempt to pinch his face, but Justin leaned away his touch.

"You must be dreaming. My mom only loves my dad. No one is qualified to be my dad except for Edward." Justin spat as he racked his brain for a way to call his father without being noticed.

"People change. There is no such thing as eternal love in this world. I believe that if I'm persistent enough, your mom will fall in love with me sooner or later." Hero laughed at Justin's certainty, not at all enraged by his words. The only thing he wanted was Daisy. He didn't care about her son.

"Get over yourself, Hero. I will never fall in love with you." Daisy's right hand was in her pocket. She tried to call Edward several times, but she couldn't get through. She had to recognize the fact that a signal interference device had been set up in the cafe.

"Colonel Ouyang, stop trying to make a call. It's pointless, there's no signal here. Do you think we have set up a trap for you without having prepared everything in advance?" Hero gazed at Daisy, his eyes full of affection. Maybe he was telling the truth when he said that he loved her.

"I should've realized it. But do you really think that I will let myself be captured without putting up a fight?" Daisy cast a stern look at Hero. She regretted her carelessness. She didn't expect Mary to be so bold as to hire thugs to deal with her. To her greater surprise, the leader of the thugs turned out to be Hero.

"In the past, I couldn't say for certain that I can capture you. But now, I will definitely win." Hero laughed out loud, as if Daisy was a fish helplessly floundering on the chopping board.

Don't start celebrating yet." Daisy shared a meaningful look with Justin as she moved to subdue Hero. The way to bring the enemies down was to destroy the leader and then the gang would collapse. Daisy made the decision to take Hero as a hostage. She dashed towards Hero and just as she was about to take him by the throat, a sharp pain surged up her foot. When she staggered and paused for a few seconds to recover, Hero took the opportunity to step aside and dodge her attack.

She bit her lower lip and refused to give up. Ignoring the pain of her injured foot, she punched Hero's stomach hard. Her tied-up hair swayed along with the movement in a beautiful arc.

Justin watched the fight with a worried look on his face. He hurried to join the battle and help his mother. He had no idea that she had been drugged.

"Nice try, kid! But you're too weak to fight me." Hero blocked Justin's strikes with speed and grace, while Daisy had a difficult time dealing with Hero's thugs. Her strength seemed to be fading because of the drug, but she clenched her teeth and fought back. She was so tough that even her opponents couldn't help admiring her.

It wasn't until then that Mary and Jessica realized how strong Daisy was. Despite being drugged, she still held her own against her opponents. The sight of the petite woman fighting against the burly thugs was an eye-opener. Mary and Jessica were thankful that Daisy was fighting someone else instead of them.

"Listen, don't kill her. I want her alive." Hero frowned. He thought that he could take Justin down easily, but it seemed he didn't give the boy enough credit. He didn't expect such a little child to be so skilled in martial arts. Hero could tell from Justin's movements that he had been regularly practicing his skills. If Justin were a few years older, Hero wasn't certain that he could defeat him.

"Got it, boss." After Hero's reminder, the thugs became more passive against Daisy. The fight started to become more favorable for her. She elbowed a thug, sending him lurching backwards with a howl. Moving to the left, she dodged another opponent's punches. She thrusted her leg towards the thug's face despite the pain in her foot, knocking him to the ground. Judging from the sweat on her forehead, she was suffering a great deal from the pain.

Justin clenched his teeth, face covered with sweat. Instead of giving up, he shifted his stance and kicked Hero from various angles to catch him off guard. He hadn't lost yet; his small size gave him more speed and flexibility.

"It seems I underestimated you, kid. I didn't expect you to be so skilled. Colonel Ouyang must have trained you well." As a child, Justin had limited strength. His blows didn't seriously injured Hero, but they still hurt. As a result, Hero focused his attention on his fight with Justin. He could no longer take this slightly. Hero felt lucky that Jistin was only a child, or he might be no match for him.

I shouldn't have underestimated you either. I thought you were just a weak wimp. I didn't expect you to be a skilled fighter. But no matter how strong you are, you'll be dead if you dare to hurt my mom. Justin didn't stop fighting as he spoke, dodging Hero's attacks and hitting him from time to time. He didn't even give Hero a chance to get close to him.
