Chapter 1386 Extra Story 141 Of Edgar Another Trick (2/2)
”What do you mean?”
”Just try it. Pull the trigger.” The voice behind the dark garbe
It all starts on that fateful night.
When Ella, who is the dear sister of Samuel’s best buddy, sneaks into the hotel where the drunken Samuel resides and gets pregnant…
”I don’t want a divorce!”
”I don’t want a divorce!”
”I did no such thing!”
Ella jumped on the bed and cried out. “I don’t want a scheming woman as my wife. Just sign the paper...
ope to a pipe on the hotel roof. He looked down from the roof and prepared to repel down. Which room had Cain locked Maggie in? He didn't know. The hotel walls were made of glass! If he went down too quickly he'd missed some floors; too slowly and he might crack the glass. It demanded a perfect control of his strength. But, if he couldn't find Maggie in time, Cain might move her again.
”Are you sure that you can do this, Edgar?” Tompson casually leaned against the rail, smiling at Edgar with a can of cola in his hand.
Edgar gave him a sideways glance and sneered, ”I will deal with you later.” With that, he jumped with rope in his hand. For a moment he seemed almost to float in mid-air, and then he plummeted at a thrilling speed while the rope screamed through the safety hooks. He didn't go slowly at the start. Besides, she wouldn't be in the top five floors, considering Cain's mind-set and Maggie's capability.
Tompson looked down at Edgar searching for Maggie. He was pretty impressed by Edgar's neat and efficient movement. His muttered with a wider smile, ”Definitely the soul of the Eagle. As nimble and quick as any of the best soldiers in his prime. I'm surprised your body isn't blunted by the lack of practice.”
”It's a pity...” a sudden voice said, behind him. ”No matter how talented they are, all men have the same problem.”
Without turning back, Tompson finished the unvoiced sentence with sadness in his eyes. ”Every hero becomes a prisoner of love.” After that he turned his head around. Tompson's self-deprecating manner vanished as he saw Cain. He donned his playful smile. ”Where did you hide Maggie?”
Cain came forward and glanced down at Edgar over the rail. Then he raised his arm to check the time on his wrist watch. ”Can he find Maggie in three minutes? What do you think?”
”He can.” Tompson saw suspicion in Cain's eyes and he continued, stalling for time, ”I know Maggie, so I can be sure. You shouldn't tell her Edgar is trying to find her. It's sad to fall behind at the starting line, Cain. But it's simply pathetic to fall behind at the turning point.”
