The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2369

"Our lives are in your hands, so why wouldn't we be afraid of you?" Lucas remained calm, without a hint of agitation, which sounded like a challenge to the kidnappers.

"Ha, I underestimated you. Even in this situation, do you still think about trying to escape with your girlfriend? Do you really think we're just ordinary kidnappers? Let me tell you, each of my men here has blood on their hands... "

Before the leader could finish his sentence, Claudia whimpered, startling Lucas, who glared at her in alarm.

"Tsk tsk tsk, looks like you're not fearless either, huh? You really care about your girlfriend, don't you? But I get it; if I had such a beautiful girlfriend, I wouldn't want her to fall into the hands of rough guys like us too."

Mentioning Claudia caused Lucas' expression to finally change. "You promised me earlier that you wouldn't harm us. Only when we are both safe can you get the rest of the money."

However, Lucas seemed to suddenly anger the leader, who swung his baseball bat fiercely at Lucas's back.

"Ah!"

Lucas was suddenly knocked down, and before he could react, the blows continued to rain down on his back.

Meanwhile, the other kidnappers took the opportunity to remove Claudia's blindfold, making her see what Lucas was going through, ensuring she would not dare to escape.

"Stop, stop it! You haven't received the ransom yet. What if he dies?"

Blood trickled from the corners of Lucas' mouth as he struggled to look in Claudia's direction from his position on the ground.

Claudia's eyes were swollen from crying; she was overwhelmed by the terror of it all. She should be at home with her family, so how did things turn out like this?

"No, please, no..."

Claudia sobbed uncontrollably, her breath ragged.

The leader, having had his fill of violence, tossed the bloodied baseball bat aside and squatted in front of Lucas, mercilessly grabbing his hair.

"Huh! You've got some gut to keep provoking me like this! This is just a little lesson for you. If you dare to try running or have any crooked ideas next time, you won't be the one getting beaten. I bet your girlfriend isn't as strong as you. I wonder if she can withstand these beatings. Or how about I hand her over to my men? That way, she won't have to endure any physical pain."

Lucas tried to struggle, but his other hand was pinned down by the leader.

"No... Absolutely not..."

Claudia trembled, too afraid to utter a word, fearing she might actually be dragged out by these kidnappers. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"How can you not keep your word when you've been roaming the street for so long? In fact, you look like a man of principles to me!"

Lucas's remark finally elicited a smirk from the leader.

"You're not as stupid as I thought you were, kid. Here's the deal: until I nod my head, your girlfriend will be safe. But you two better not try to cause trouble for me again, got it? You might withstand the first round of beatings but not the second. Behave yourselves if you don't want to end up crippled!"

After issuing his warning, he threw Lucas to the ground like trash, then left without a backward glance, followed by his lackeys. However, one of them stayed behind to clean up the mess, taking the bloodied baseball bat with him.

Once the door slammed shut, Claudia, with tears streaming down her face, began inching toward Lucas.
