“Will you let me go if I beg you for mercy?” Jasper asked.
At this time, Jasper’s hand that was behind him secretly pressed the phone’s call button twice.
This was to redial the last call that Jasper made.
And that call was to Anna.
Jasper would not actively involve Anna, but there was a team of professionally trained bodyguards beside Anna.
Jasper was not an idiotic male chauvinist. Thus, when he needed help, Jasper would never hesitate to use all the resources available around him.
The most important thing was that Jasper knew that Anna was very smart, and that she had this tacit understanding with him and would know what to do.
“I won’t!”
Echo was still immersed in his
incomparable joy and did not notice what
Jasper had done. “But I can let you live a little longer.
“Or experience a less painful way to die.
“A person like you should be very reluctant to die, right? After all, you have everything and you strived for everything you have, so you must be very reluctant to leave all of it, right?”
Echo’s eyes flashed aggressively and he grinned at Jasper, “Kneel and climb in front of me like a dog. Otherwise, I will torture you to death bit by bit.”
Jasper said hurriedly, “Don’t do anything
stupid.
“Put the gun down. You know I don’t have any weapons with me, and I don’t know how to use a gun, so I am not a threat to you at all.
“If you get too excited and aim your gun a t me like that, you’ll kill me in one shot if the gun goes off accidentally. Then, won’t your wish of torturing me be fruitless?”
Echo narrowed his eyes. A hint of hesitation appeared in his savage and morbid gaze.
This was because he felt that Jasper was right.
Despite him telling himself multiple times beforehand that he would not listen to Jasper no matter what he said, at this moment, Echo still felt that Jasper was right.
It was indeed not his intention to kill Jasper so quickly. What he wanted was to torture Jasper slowly and let him die in endless pain and regret. This was in line with Echo’s wish.
Seeing Echo lowering the muzzle, Jasper slowly let out a sigh of relief.
He felt that the call was already connected so he deliberately said, “Echo, I’m very curious. I just came out of Beverly Hills and you caught up to me in less than 10 minutes after I got onto this highway to the airport, how did you do it?”
Echo sneered, “Do you think I’m the only
one who wants you to die?”
“You’re right.”
Jasper, who was trying his best to reveal more information and buy more time,
nodded and said, “It is true that many people want me to die, but did you consider why do so many people want me dead and yet you are the only one who took action?”
“Are you trying to tell me that they’re just using me?”
Echo chuckled coldly, “You don’t have to talk so much nonsense with me. I have nothing now and my life is going to end too. What do I care about being used or not? As long as I can drag you, who caused all this, to hell, then everything will be worth it.
“Okay, don’t try to buy time anymore. My subordinates caused a bigger car accident i n the front. The police won’t be able to get here within the next half hour. How much more time can you buy in this half hour? I just want to see your pitiful appearance as you struggle with all your might before death. That’s why I am deliberately spewing nonsense with you.
“But now I’ve run out of patience. Kneel for me immediately and climb in front of me, otherwise, I will break your hands and feet, slowly humiliate you, and then
let you die in the most painful way. Trust me, you don’t want to experience that.”
At this moment, a convoy that was originally heading for downtown Los
Angeles suddenly turned around and was accelerating with the highest speed toward the highway leading to the airport.
Inside the car, Anna clutched the phone with a bone-chilling expression on her face.
