You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth)

Chapter 887 Let Me Take Her Place

Under Lindon's coercion, everyone gathered and stood together.

However, their gazes were fixed intently in Lindon's direction without the slightest relaxation.

Even the usually peaceful Benjamin had his eyes filled with storming rage at this moment. He lowered his voice, trying his best to maintain his composure, “Lindon, let go of my sister. We won't interfere with your matters with Magus anymore. How about that?”

Lindon slowly backed away, listening to his words with a sneer. “Isn't that a bit insincere of you to come to negotiate with me after causing such a mess? Fine, you know what? I can release this girl, but you have to kill him for me to let go of her!” As he spoke, he gestured toward Magus with his chin.

Benjamin slightly narrowed his eyes.

“What, you don't want to?” Lindon asked back, “If you're not sincere, then there's nothing to negotiate!” With that, he retreated, holding Denise with him.

Denise also felt scared. At this moment, numerous scenes from the idol dramas she had watched flashed through her mind, such as how people were taken hostage, how they were shot in the head, and so on.

However, as she thought about these things, her fear subsided. She pursed her lips and remained silent.

“Denise, don't be afraid! I'm here!” Anthony said as he looked at her.

At that moment, Denise looked at Anthony. Catching his gaze, she instantly understood something. The next second, Denise suddenly burst into tears. “Tony, I'm scared! Save me!”

Denise wanted to move, but Lindon held her tightly and shouted, “Don't move!”

Denise kept screaming, “Tony, save me! I miss Mommy! Daddy, Mommy, save me!”

At that moment, Denise was like a terrified young girl, crying and making a fuss.

Lindon saw her action and frowned. “Be quiet!”

Yet, Denise still continued to cry, regardless of everything.

“Stop crying, or I'll shoot you!” Lindon was annoyed by her crying.

Just then, Benjamin spoke up immediately, “Lindon, she's just a little girl, and it's normal for her to be scared. There's no use in frightening her!”

“Shut up!” Lindon shouted.

Since his goal had not been achieved, Benjamin naturally did not shut up. He continued while staring at Lindon, “Lindon, how about I take her place? Take me with you, and I promise I won't hold you back as long as you let me go when we reach a safe place. How about that?”

As soon as Benjamin said that, Anthony immediately furrowed his brows. “Benjamin!”

Benjamin just gave him a glance and then looked at Lindon. “Taking me along is better than having a whiny little girl. What do you think? Do you want to consider it?”

Upon seeing the situation, Anthony also immediately said, “I'll take her place instead!”

“Let me do it!” Benjamin retorted.

“Benjamin!” Anthony looked at his brother. “Listen to me!”

“Tony, I will listen to you at any time, but right now...” Benjamin shook his head.

Anthony knew that Benjamin was an extremely opinionated person, and trying to persuade him at this point would be futile. Therefore, he could only try to work on Lindon instead.

He said, “Lindon, you can leave this place safely only by taking me with you. You should be able to see that everyone here listens to me!”

“Tony!” Benjamin frowned as well.

Watching them argue endlessly, Lindon suddenly said irritably, “All of you! Shut up!” Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Anthony and Benjamin both looked at him, falling into silence.

Lindon's gaze swept over them, focusing on Anthony. “You clearly have too many tricks up your sleeve. Who knows what you might do!” Then, he turned his attention to Benjamin. “You'll be the one to take this girl's place!”

Upon hearing this, Benjamin's expression relaxed slightly, and he smiled. “You do have a good eye and know who to choose!” With that, Benjamin raised his hands and slowly walked toward Lindon.

At that moment, Denise shook her head frantically. “No, I don't want to! I'll stop crying. Ben, please don't come over...”

Benjamin looked at her with a doting expression. “Don't worry, Denise. Everything will be fine!”

Denise shook her head. “I don't want this...”

As Benjamin raised his hands and slowly approached Lindon, Miguel immediately reached out to stop him after witnessing the situation. “Wait a minute!”

At that moment, all eyes were focused on Miguel again.

Miguel stepped forward, and his usually cheerful face showed a serious expression now. He looked at Lindon and spoke softly, “I'll take their place!”

Lindon took a deep breath impatiently, “Is this ever going to end? Are you all messing with me?”

Miguel observed the situation and said, “You need to be clear about who is the most dangerous person here. No matter how smart they are, they are just children. They're weak. It doesn't matter who you end up taking hostage. As long as I have the opportunity, I can kill you at any time... So, are you sure you don't want me to take the girl's place?”

Upon hearing it, Lindon's eyes narrowed slightly.

“Miguel!” Anthony looked at Miguel too.

Miguel glanced at Anthony. “Master, don't worry. I'll be fine!”

At that moment, Magus, who had been watching from the side, hesitated for a while before stepping forward. “Let me do it instead. After all, this matter is between him and me!”

Everyone's gaze turned towards Magus once again.

At this moment, Magus looked at Lindon. “Ultimately, this matter concerns the two of us, and we should resolve it ourselves. It has nothing to do with these children. Let them go! I'll go with you!”

Watching them one by one, Lindon suddenly burst into laughter.

He said fiercely, “Don't bother putting on a show of a deep sense of friendship in front of me. Let me tell you. It's useless, and don't think I'm a fool. If I can't leave this place today, I'll make sure you all go down with me!”

At that moment, everyone looked at him in silence.

“You! Come here!” Right then, Lindon said and pointed at Benjamin. He was Lindon's first choice in the beginning, and he believed that his choice was not wrong.

Benjamin looked at Lindon and nodded. “Okay!”

Hence, Benjamin gradually walked towards him.

Upon seeing the situation, Denise immediately opened her mouth, raising her head and saying to Lindon, “I won't cry or make a fuss anymore. Please don't let Ben come over!”

Lindon looked at her and laughed. “Little girl, I must admit, I'm somewhat reluctant to exchange you away...”

Denise looked up at the man as if she could see a hint of twisted light in his eyes.

At that moment, Denise was slightly stunned. Looking at the man, she suddenly felt at a loss for words.

As she was hesitating, Benjamin had already approached Lindon. He asked, “Can you let her go now?”

Lindon averted his gaze and looked at Benjamin. In the next second, he swiftly pulled the latter close, holding him hostage in his embrace.

“Ben...” Denise looked at Benjamin.

Everyone looked at them with their eyebrows furrowed with concern.

Benjamin remained calm and composed, looking at Lindon as he asked, “What's the meaning of this?”

Lindon leaned down slightly, using their bodies as a cover. He whispered to them, “How about both of you come with me?”

Benjamin countered, “But are you sure you can escape with both of us? It's already quite a struggle with just one hostage. If both of us start making a fuss, I'm afraid you won't have the stamina to handle it!”

However, Lindon was also someone who did not play by the rules. He directly asked back, “Who said I was going to take you two away with me?”

Everyone looked at him with a puzzled expression.

At that moment, Lindon looked outside. “If I'm not mistaken, there should be people everywhere out there. Going out would be a death trap!”

“So? What about it?” Anthony's face darkened, staring at him as he asked by enunciating each word.
