Chapter 66 A Trap

"And who is this?" Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

The owner turned to look at Eliana.His cold, sunken eyes made him look like a living corpse.She couldn’t help but look away uncomfortably.

Bradly stood in front of Eliana protectively, but his smile remained polite.

"We’re here together.Now, let’s get down to business."

The owner didn’t say anything more.He turned around and walked to the innermost part of the shop.

"Come with me if you want to see the goods."

As he turned around, he unlocked his phone and looked at the screen, on which there was a clear photo of Eliana.

Then he stole a glance at Eliana.He immediately sent a message, which read, "Miss Jarvis, she has taken the bait."

Bradly was about to follow the owner into the shop when Eliana tugged at his sleeve urgently.

"What’s the matter?" he asked in confusion.

Staring at the owner’s back, Eliana whispered in a low voice, "Something is wrong."

Bradly immediately took her hand and assumed a protective stance.It was obvious he believed her without hesitation.

Eliana didn’t expect him to react in this way.

After a moment of stunned silence, she pulled her hand away.

"Why are you just standing there? Do you still want the pink diamonds?"

The owner whirled around to find that the two people had stopped in their tracks.

Smiling calmly, Eliana asked in a level voice, "Sir, are you planning to raise the price since it’s very costly to transport the Argyle pink diamonds from South Africa?"

Bradly raised his eyebrows and looked at her with respect.He instantly caught on to what she was up to.

Argyle pink diamonds came only from Australia, not South Africa.

But the owner didn’t doubt her question.

"Of course.It was indeed very expensive."

Hearing this, Eliana and Bradly exchanged knowing glances.

Their hearts sank to their stomachs.

"Never mind.We don’t have that big a budget.We can’t buy it now."

Eliana spoke as though nothing had happened and started pulling Bradley towards the door.

"I’m ready to negotiate.Why don’t you check them first before discussing the price?"

With an unsettling smile on his face, the owner slowly approached them with his hands behind his back.

Finally, Eliana gritted her teeth and sneered, "Argyle pink diamonds were only produced in Australia.What kind of fakes did you have transported from South Africa?"

Bradly also pulled a long face and shook his head with disappointment.

"Who told you to lie to us?"

Seeing that the jig was up, the owner threw his head back and laughed.

"The lady’s smart.What a pity…"

A sinister light flashed across his eyes and he suddenly shouted, "Hey, buddies! Entertain the guests, why don’t you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of multiple footsteps echoed across the house and a group of men surrounded Eliana and Bradly in the blink of an eye.

Tall, strong men blocked the exit.

The low sunshine extended their shadows all the way to Eliana’s feet.

Eliana’s adrenaline was pumping through her veins, and her hair stood on end all over her body.

"What do you want from us?"

Bradly shouted harshly, pulling Eliana behind him protectively.

The old overhead light in the antique shop flickered a few times, before going out completely.

The dimness was like a net that immediately enveloped them, suffocating them.

"I suggest you cooperate, unless you wish to suffer," the boss sneered from the shadows.

Eliana swallowed her panic and threatened them.

"We’re calling the police!"

"Get out of our way.We can pretend that nothing happened."

Bradly tried to negotiate with them while grabbing Eliana’s wrist and tentatively walking to the door.

However, the men who blocked their way didn’t budge.

The owner grinned from ear to ear.

"Miss Pierce, someone paid me a high price to teach you a lesson.Now that you’re here, I 0.0% need to do my job."

Bradly’s grip on Eliana’s wrist tightened.

Eliana couldn’t believe her ears.

Did they actually lure her out here under the guise of selling Argyle pink diamonds? But before she could mull over it some more, the owner barked at his men to attack.

The men swarmed towards Eliana, waving machetes and iron clubs in their hands.

"Ah!"

Eliana’s body reacted faster than her brain.She quickly ducked, narrowly avoiding one of the men’s weapons.Her heart was pounding against her chest.

Bradly suddenly pushed her into a corner.

With bared teeth, Bradly stood firmly in front of her and fought back several men.

The scene was chaotic.

But Bradly was outnumbered.It didn’t take long before he was knocked out cold.

"Bradly!" Eliana screamed, wanting to rush over to him.

But then a man with a sinister smile stepped in front of her.She stumbled to the side to dodge his attack, but another man rushed at her from behind.

With nowhere to escape, she was forced into a corner.She felt a gust of wind blow against her ears as an iron stick swung towards her head at lightning speed.

Eliana squeezed her eyes shut as despair overtook her.

All of a sudden, she heard the crisp sound of metal clanging against metal.

The sound of pained groans followed.

Surprised, Eliana opened her eyes and found that the iron stick had been knocked to the ground a few feet away, and that several men in black started streaming into the shop out of nowhere.

They fought off the men skillfully.

Stunned, Eliana was at a loss for words..

Even the owner of the shop was surprised.

In a fit of anger, he roared, "You b***h! How dare you call for help? Go to hell!"

The owner pounced on her, waving a knife in the air.

Before Eliana could act, the sharp blade was already swinging at her in the air.She held her breath and braced herself for the pain.

"Eliana!"

A familiar male voice shouted her name anxiously.

The next moment, Eliana felt herself being pulled into a warm embrace.

Then, they fell to the ground.

She came out of the ordeal unscathed, but the figure who had saved her was groaning in pain.
