Desires Die Hard (Anya and Evan) by Beryl Occam

Chapter 940 Mr. Welton, How About We Playing A Game?

When Theo and Anya were arguing, Evan had entered the ventilation room with Dan. He was hiding behind some groceries, observing what had happened inside.

There were two guards in the ventilation room.

Since it was not an important place, only two guards were here.

After observing for a while, Evan took out a dagger tucked in his belt. He held it in his palm and turned around to hint at Dan.

Dan also took out his dagger.

Then Dan moved slowly toward the back of the two guards, who were chatting at a wooden table against the ventilation room.

Evan walked out of the hiding place and shouted at those two guards in Cameronese, "Hey!"

The two guards were struck at first. Then they took out their guns and aimed them at Evan.

Before they could fire the guns, Dan hiding behind them had knocked them down.

Evan walked over. When they tried to get up, he slid the dagger across their necks. The wound was not deep, but they would pass out after the blood came out.

Before the two guards could figure out what had happened, they passed out.

They fell.

After that, Evan took out a lighter and threw it into the ventilation pipe after opening it.

Soon, the ventilation pipe was burned.

The thick smoke began to flow to the whole ventilation system.

It went into the office of the Commander in Chief.

The strong smoke went into the meeting room through the ventilation pipe.

The meeting room was filled with smoke in a minute.

All the presenters began to cough because of inhaling the smoke.

Anya covered her mouth to cough, too.

Theo was calm since he had gone through a lot. When others were confused, he had known what had happened at the sight of the smoke from the pipe.

He took out the wipes to cover his mouth and nose from the drawer. He also threw one to Anya.

But Anya refused to take it.

She didn't want to use whatever the man offered.

Theo didn't mind. He told the subordinate beside him, "Go put out the fire in the ventilation room. Our distinguished guest had sneaked in."

After the subordinate went out, other leaders followed.

Theo paced toward Anya. He grabbed her arm and said, "You're right. Your husband has come to save you. But I'd like to play a game with him. You and Gracie would be the prize."

Anya only frowned and threw her indifferent gaze at him.

Her throat ached due to the smoke.

If her husband was here, she and Gracie would be safe.

So there was no need to provoke Theo.

Theo knew what Anya was thinking about.

He sneered and took her outside. The sacrifice ceremony tonight would be interesting.

…

In the ventilation room.

When Evan and Dan were about to get out of the room, they happened to be under the enemies' siege.

Evan blocked himself in front of Dan automatically. He wouldn't want him to get caught for him.

But Dan was brave.

Since the enemies wanted to catch them, they wouldn't fire guns. All of them pulled up their sleeves, trying to knock the two of them down.

But Evan was good at fighting.

He could handle ten men at one time.

He became serious and began to fight with them.

In a minute, most of the enemies had been knocked down.

Only two enemies were left. One enemy knew he couldn't defeat Evan.

So he took out an electric weapon from his pocket, wanting to attack Evan before he could notice it. Evan didn't see that coming.

So he fell right away.

Dan wanted to help him but was attacked, too.

Both of them passed out.

When Evan woke up, it was already at night.

He was lying on a big round stone prepared for the sacrifice ceremony. There were candles lights swaying on four sides.

Evan stood up and saw two other giant stones were on each side of him.

He was pondering for something. His forehead wrinkled.

There were two iron cages, looking like birdcages on those two giant stones.

In the iron cages, two women in identical white cotton skirts were lying there. They were unconscious. A woven bag was covered on their heads with only one hole for them to breathe.

Their face couldn't be seen.

On a high platform nearby, a shirtless man was staring at Evan.

Evan had almost made him lose his arm several years ago.

This time, he had to get it back.

"Mr. Welton, you woke up. How about we play a game?"
