Wish value plus one. Current progress seven of ten. You've shattered the kidnappers
wishes.
Attribute point plus one. Keith didn't look at them. Instead, he stepped on Calvin's thigh.
Calvin woke up again in intense pain. Calvin, what were you saying just now? Say it
again. Let me hear it.
Calvin was screaming in pain. He saw that his men were all knocked out on the ground,
and he didn't know whether they were dead or alive. He howled.
How did it end up like this? Keith, you beast. I'll kill you. Keith said coldly.
I'm a fair person. You threatened my sister and ex-girlfriend. I'll break both of your legs.
He stepped on each of Calvin's legs with a sickening crunch. Calvin's miserable howls
resounded throughout the villa. Olivia seemed unable to bear it and said, Keith, leave it
to the police.
Keith looked at her indifferently and sneered. Miss Strauss, just now, this guy wanted to
torture you to death. Being merciful to your enemies is being cruel to yourself.
Don't you get that? His words sounded like he was reprimanding her, and though his
voice wasn't loud, it commanded respect. Olivia's heart skipped a beat. Other than her
family, no one else had ever dared to speak to her like that.
But when she saw Keith's eyes, she didn't dare to look into them. Although she had a
strange feeling in her heart, she looked away and didn't say anything else. You stopped
Olivia's pleading.
Attribute point plus one. Keith had berated the high and mighty CEO. Although he looked
expressionless, he was secretly very happy.
Not everyone could get away with reprimanding a woman like Olivia. He looked at Calvin
again and shouted, How do I deactivate the mechanism tied to Mrs. Strauss's body? Tell
me. Calvin seemed to know that he would die, but he was still cursing.
Keith was furious. Just as he was about to step on Calvin's arm, the sound of sirens
suddenly came from outside the house. Keith frowned slightly and retracted his foot.
He looked outside the door. Quinn led a group of police officers into the house, but the
scene in front of her shocked her. The masked kidnappers were lying on the ground, and
in the middle of the room, Mia Strauss was tied to an explosive device.
Old Mr. Strauss and Olivia were staring at her, and Keith was there too. Quinn
instinctively asked, Keith, what the hell is going on? Keith smiled and said, Someone was kidnapped. I've helped deal with it.
How are you going to thank me this time? Quinn was secretly shocked to find herself in a
room full of incapacitated kidnappers, and the person they had kidnapped was Mia
Strauss. The kidnappers had guns. It was impossible for Keith to have solved this
problem alone.
Quinn guessed that old Mr. Strauss's men must have been involved. Mr. Strauss's guards
were elusive. They were all experts.
She frowned. Keith, don't mess around. Get behind me.
She turned to Mr. Strauss and said, Sir, Keith is new to the department, and he doesn't
know our protocols yet. I'm sorry. Leave the rest to us.
Old Mr. Strauss smiled when he heard her. You're mistaken, actually, Sergeant. These
men really were handled by Keith.
I had some private matters to attend to today, so I gave my men the day off. Olivia
nodded in confirmation. Quinn's jaw dropped, and she stared at Keith with wide eyes.
Keith had already caught a gang of serial bank robbers and helped Quinn's reputation.
Now he'd taken care of the kidnappers targeting the Strauss family. It was an
unbelievable achievement.
Furthermore, Keith hadn't resigned from her team yet. That meant the credit would go to
her. She looked at Keith at a loss for words.
Her face was slightly red as she said, You did well. I'll have to buy you dinner as a thank
you. It was the first time Keith had seen Quinn's expression like that.
Keith had been criticized by her many times in the past, but when he saw this, he smiled,
he took a few steps closer, and whispered in her ear, Just you and me? Is that considered
a date? Before he could finish his sentence, she stepped on his foot. Quinn glared at him
and motioned for him to shut his mouth, but she wasn't angry. She was almost a little
shy.
You've shattered Quinn's wish to treat you to a meal. Attribute point plus one. Keith
laughed in his heart.
He had teased her and earned an attribute point. That was hilarious. But he knew that
now wasn't the time to joke.
He said seriously, Sergeant, Mrs. Strauss has an electromagnetic bomb strapped to her
body. It could explode at any time. Quinn nodded and said to her team, The team sprang into action and Quinn turned to the Strausses. Mr. Strauss, Mrs.
Strauss, you need to leave too. Old Mr. Strauss looked at his daughter-in-law and
nodded.
Olivia looked at Quinn and then at Keith and lightly snorted, I want to stay here with my
mom. There was a stunned silence when they heard this. Why did Olivia suddenly want
to stay? At that moment, an electronic voice sounded as the bomb on Mrs. Strauss
began to count down.
There were 10 minutes left. 10 minutes. It was impossible for the bomb squad to get
there in time.
Mrs. Strauss was sure to die. Calvin's loud laughter rang out. Keith, I admit that you're
very powerful.
Today I lost to you, but this bomb was carefully designed by me. Other than me, no one
can stop it. Although he still looked miserable at that moment, he was incomparably
arrogant.
Calvin suddenly looked at Olivia and said, Olivia, do you remember? You said your
favorite piece of music is Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. Did you see the piano? It's my
final gift to you. I know you've been playing since you were young.
If you can play Moonlight Sonata perfectly, the bomb will not explode. If you can't, both
you and your mom will die. What? The others gasped and looked at the piano.
Sure enough, they found rows of wires extending out from the instrument. The bomb
could only be stopped by the sound of the piano. Everyone looked at Olivia at the same
time.
If she played the song perfectly, her mother would be saved. If not, they would die
together. It was a choice between life and death.
Of course, Olivia could choose to turn around and leave. It was the safest option, but she
would spend the rest of her life in guilt over her mother's death. Mia shook her head
vigorously.
She wanted her daughter to leave without her. Olivia's entire body trembled slightly. She
looked at her mother and then her grandfather.
After a moment of silence, she slowly walked towards the piano. Olivia, you're dead. You
never paid attention to me.
You married another man. You and your mother will die here together. Calvin laughed
crazily.
