Chapter 124
Ash couldn’t believe that she was so unlucky that she was held hostage.
She had guessed that this farce was carefully planned, but she did not expect it to be so thoroughly planned.
There was actually someone who cooperated with the crying man in the middle.

But Ash didn’t know why she was chosen to be held hostage. At this moment, the cold knife was pressed against her neck. She was not afraid. Instead, she felt like laughing.
Most of the time, bad luck always came to her so quietly.
The knife–wielding man’s angry roar attracted everyone’s attention. In an instant, no one paid attention to the crying man in the center. After all, such an even more interesting scene had appeared.
When Calvert came forward, he saw such a terrifying scene. His face instantly darkened. He broke through the crowd and came to a spot about five feet away from the person holding the knife. His voice was calm and steady when he asked, “What do you want? If you hurt her, you won’t get anything.”
The person with the knife spat. “I can’t get anything? Even if I don’t hurt her, I still can’t get anything, right? People like you love to brainwash others!
“Cut the crap now. You’ve earned all the money. You’ve enjoyed a good life. What do we get? The boy is unconscious, and my sister–in–law is on the verge of death! It’s all because of you people who got other people’s hard–earned money. That lousy game charged so much money!
“You destroyed our entire family! You destroyed us completely. Only when we’re making a scene will you be merciful and look at us! Only when you’re in danger will you try to think of a solution! What about before? Why did you ignore us before? Why didn’t you give us a solution before?” The person holding the knife was on the verge of breaking down.
Blood was already seeping out of Ash’s neck. She sighed imperceptibly. “No one wants this to happen…”
Before she could finish, she was interrupted by the person holding the knife. He almost roared, “Shut the fuck up! No one wants to hear your nonsense!”
“You just want to take a hostage, don’t you?” Calvert looked at Ash’s fair and slender neck that was oozing blood. He pursed his lips.
Calvert’s expression was calm when he said, “I can be your hostage. I’m the person in charge of the Snider Group. Perhaps you don’t know me, but I think everyone present knows me. Holding me hostage is more valuable than holding her hostage. Moreover, our company owns nearly ten gaming companies of all sizes. Aren’t I more detestable?”
When Ash saw him say those crazily brave words without changing his expression, she looked quite anxious and signaled for Calvert not to act rashly with her eyes.
Although the person holding the knife was agitated, he was more afraid. His hand that was holding the knife was trembling slightly. Ash could guarantee that he could safely escape from the person holding the knife. She just needed to wait for the right time.
So at this time, she thought that Calvert shouldn’t play the hero saving the damsel in distress.
Calvert’s voice was aloof and calm. For some reason, he had an innate sense of persuasion. The person holding the knife clearly hesitated.
Seeing this, Calvert took a tentative step forward. “You’re holding the knife now. I will walk to you and not let anything happen to you.”
“Don’t move! Stop right there!” The person holding the knife suddenly realized something. He roared and the tip of the

knife went deeper into Ash’s neck.
The pain intensified, and Ash looked like she was in pain.
Calvert quickly noticed that and asked, “What do you want me to do? I will play along”
“Find a rope and tie up your hands and feet. Otherwise, how can I be sure that you won’t ambush me and play tricks when you come to me? Rich people like you are the most scheming The person holding the knife still had some rationality in
him.
Calvert nodded and agreed without any hesitation. Soon, he found a rope and got someone to help tie him up. He jumped to the side of the person holding the knife in an extremely dramatic manner. Ash felt that this scene was funny and sad
The owner of the Snider Group, a big shot in Riverstone and even the entire country, was like a clown at someone’s mercy at this moment.
“Is it okay now?” Calvert’s expression was still as calm as usual. Even so, his noble and aloof temperament did not decrease at
all.
The person holding the knife looked Calvert up and down again. He took a deep breath and held Calvert tightly with his free hand. After making sure that there was nothing wrong, he let go of the knife and pushed Ash away.
The gap between the push and pull gave Ash time. She did not even turn around and kicked backward. Then, she turned around swiftly and quickly and hit the wrist of the person holding the knife. Instantly, the knife fell to the ground. She kicked the knife far away and forcefully twisted the wrist of the attacker back. There was a crack and his wrist was dislocated
Suddenly, the man cried out in pain. Ash pushed him to the ground but did not continue to attack. She knew that these people were pitiful. If they were not forced into a corner, they would not have done this.
Since that was the case, Ash did not need to be ruthless. She only needed to ensure that the attacker would not be able to do anything to hurt anyone for the time being.
Ash came to Calvert and untied him. There was a concerned emotion in her tone.
“Aren’t you usually extremely smart? I kept winking at you just now. How could you not understand what I mean? His mediocre martial arts can’t hurt me. You really didn’t have to take such a risk. What would happen to you if he had external help?” Ash’s voice was filled with worry.
She untied the rope and straightened her body when she saw the worry on Calvert’s usually aloof face. His eyes were deep and charming. For a moment, he did not say anything. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and gently pressed it on her bleeding wound.
His hand brushed lightly across her neck, and she shivered suddenly. Ash was a little embarrassed and uncomfortable, but more than that, she was at a loss. She reached out and pressed down on the handkerchief. “I can do it myself.”
Suddenly, Calvert said, “I couldn’t risk it.”
Ash was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was answering her question. Her heart skipped a beat. What he said was intriguing.
Ash said, “Mr. Snider, what you’re saying makes it sound like we’re really partners. Or are you really immersed in acting? It can’t be.”
Ash looked down and sounded as if she was joking. However, only she knew that at this moment, her heart was beating so fast that it was about to jump out of her chest in the next second.
“So in your opinion, what I did just now was superfluous?” Calvert’s mood suddenly turned bad, and his tone was a bit aggressive.

She frowned. “I didn’t mean that. I just thought we were working together. You didn’t have to go this far.”
Calvert sneered. “Huh.”
