Chapter 1394 Returning Your Life

The hitmen didn't dare mess with Joe, and they sure as hell weren't about to drop their guns, worried Sadie might hurt him.

If anything happened to Joe, they'd be in deep trouble.

"Joe, I don't want to hurt you," Sadie said, feeling a pang of guilt as she saw his wound bleeding. "If you don't want me to hate you, let them go." "Alright," Joe agreed right away, turning to the hitmen. "Let them go."

The two hitmen quickly brought Annika and the other two female bodyguards of the James Family over.

But they didn't release them; instead, they used them as leverage against Sadie. "Drop the knife! Or I'll kill them."

"Ms. James, don't worry about us, just go," Annika shouted anxiously.

"You think I don't know?" Sadie pressed the knife against Joe's neck and yelled, "On the surface, you're hired by Joe, but in reality, you take orders from Duke Louis. If anything happens to Joe, what do you think will happen to you?" "You..." The hitmen were visibly shaken by Sadie's revelation, their confidence wavering.

"You..." Joe was stunned. He had trusted these men, thinking they were loyal to him. Now, he realized they were actually spies planted by Craig. "Let them go," Sadie commanded again.

The hitmen had no choice but to release them. In their eyes, Annika and the two female bodyguards' lives were far less important than Joe's. They could always capture them again later, but if something happened to Joe, it would be a big problem.
