Chapter 785 History Repeats Itself
Lucia stared at the figures in the darkness, quickly deciding what to do. Spencer, on the other hand, was a bigger threat to herself and to the baby. If running away with Casper, even if he wanted something else, at least it was not life-threatening.
After weighing the pros and cons, Lucia got up and got out of bed. She quickly grabbed her thick coat from the coat hanger and put it on her body. She bent over to pick up her daughter in the crib and said, "Thank you for coming to save me. I will never forget this kindness if we are safe."
Casper was delighted to see that Lucia had been persuaded by him, but his face did not show it. He took a step forward and said,
"Let's go quickly. We know the way down the mountain. My bodyguard knows the terrain very well. Give the child to him. It'll make it easier for you to move around on your own, and we'll get out of here sooner."
As soon as she heard that Casper was about to hand her baby over to his man, Lucia's guard went up. She held her daughter tightly in her arms and insisted,
"It's OK. I'm physically fit and I can move around with the baby."
Casper clicked inside his cheek. He didn't expect Lucia to be so protective, but now was not the time to argue. He might have to look for another chance later.
"Well, if you don't feel up to it, then give me the baby, and we'll go now!"
Having said that, Casper ordered Leon to lead the way, and he escorted Lucia and the child all the way to the back. As he came down the stairs, Lucia saw several unconscious guards lying on the ground. The guards were supposed to be good, and she was surprised that Casper's men had ambushed them without alerting the others.
"Ms. Webb, let's go," Casper urged as Lucia stopped and looked at the guards.
Lucia nodded and quickly followed Casper with the child in her arms. She also saw the other subordinates that Casper had brought with him. The group of people looked like they were from the underworld. They looked like ruffians, but they were very similar to the people that Miles had trained.
"We've taken care of the people outside. We'll just have to return the way we came." Seeing that Lucia was unwilling to hand over the child, Leon secretly sighed in relief. Seeing that the rescue plan was going so smoothly, they also began to get excited.
"Play it safe." Casper, who was not a hothead, was still playing it safe.
They didn't let their guard down and headed for the door, but as soon as they got there, Leon noticed something was wrong. He stopped and said with some uncertainty,
"We just knocked out three guards at the door. Where are they?"
Everyone looked at each other. No one could answer. Casper's heart skipped a beat. When he saw Lucia looking at him, he quickly asked,
"Didn't you tow them away?"
"We just knocked them down. We didn't have time to drag them away..." Leon's eyes had completely changed. As he spoke, he looked at Casper in horror.
"Oh, no!" Casper immediately realized something was wrong. Without thinking, he shouted, "Run!"
Everyone was used to following Casper's orders. Once he gave the order, they all ran out of the door. However, before they could escape from the fence in the front yard, they stopped in their tracks and started to retreat one by one, and there was a look of horror on their faces.
Lucia felt like she was in hell. Did God really want to make it so difficult for her? Why was it helping Spencer?!
"Casper, you're a brave man. How dare you bring a few people with you to save her?" A mocking voice was heard from the front. Casper's face immediately turned pale when he heard that.
It was Spencer!
Sure enough, looking ahead, Spencer was standing outside the fence with Dan and his men, watching them through the half-man height fence.
Looking past the unimportant people to Lucia, Spencer felt lucky to have been helped by god. This afternoon he felt worried for no reason, so he immediately decided to set off to the villa to see how Lucia was doing. He didn't expect to be caught red-handed by him again.
Plus, he got Casper!
That was a bonus.
Even without looking up, Lucia knew that Spencer was staring at her. She instinctively held onto her child. She was worried about what Spencer would do to Casper. Although his intentions weren't pure, he was trying to save her.
"I won't run. You let them go." Lucia's voice pierced through the night wind and flew toward Spencer.
"That's no good," said Spencer in a low voice. "Casper is a guest, and I'm sure I will treat him well."
Casper looked terrible, and the memory of Spencer's lynching came back instantly, but if he had to do it again, would this guy have let himself live?
Leon whispered to Casper, "Boss, we have a chance to get out of here. Just say the word."
Leon and the rest of his brothers had been involved in street fights and gunfights, so even in the face of the current situation, they still wanted to go for it. Unlike Jack and the others at that time, who were concerned about the safety of Lucia and the baby, they only wanted their own people to be safe.
Casper frowned. He didn't say anything, but Lucia knew what he was thinking.
"Find a way to escape. Don't worry about me. After you escape, tell Arthur that I am here. He will find a way to save me." Lucia knew that Casper was worried about her and her child. A sense of gratitude sprung from his heart.
What Casper can't stand was after Lucia mentioned Arthur, he didn't hesitate to say no.
"No, let's go together!"
"Casper, you're so ambitious. How can you be a hero under these circumstances?" The night was so quiet that Spencer could hear their conversation.
"If he catches you again, he'll come after you!" Lucia now only wanted Casper to leave safely, and she didn't hesitate to tell the brutal truth.
"Boss!" Leon heard Lucia and panicked, urging Casper to make a decision.
"Lucia, don't worry. I'll come back to save you!" Casper gritted his teeth. He thought it was important to save his life, so he made a solemn promise to Lucia. Then, he said to Leon, "Take a chance!"
Casper's men were all vicious. When they heard his words, they immediately cheered up and rushed out together without any warning. Leon stood by Casper's side tightly, and the two sides quickly became entangled, and the sounds of fighting and screams burst out. owns this.
Lucia stood in the fence and watched the fight worriedly. Although Spencer was outnumbered, it was a good thing that he didn't ask his men to bring guns when he arrived, so Casper didn't show any weakness in the melee.
