"Woo! Woo! Woo!" When the call ended abruptly, Elissa could no longer hear William's voice, making her cry even harder.

With an impatient wave of a hand, Dixon asked one of his men to drag Elissa forward.

With a loud bang, the man rudely kicked the door of the warehouse open and threw the little girl inside.

"Elissa!" cried out Alick. As he was about to run to his sister, Ray took a step ahead of him and held Elissa. This caused the two kids to fell heavily on the ground.

"Woo! Woo!" Elissa cried as she lay on Ray's body.

"It's okay," comforted Ray, but his back hurt from the fall.

"Ray and Elissa, get up!" With his dirty little hands, Alick pulled the two kids up. Trembling, the three kids hugged each other.

"Oh no!" Ray suddenly exclaimed in silence, "My watch!"

Alick and Elissa looked at Ray with wide eyes. "Ray, what's wrong with your watch?"

"It broke just now." Ray touched the shattered screen on his watch and frowned. "It's broken."

"You can buy a new one with the same design when we get out of here," Elissa suggested with tears rolling from her eyes.

"But this is very important." Ray blinked and whispered, "This watch can tell my mother where we are."

"Really?" All of a sudden, the two kids' eyes lit up with hope.

Ray responded with a nod. Looking at the broken watch, he added, "But it's broken now. I don't know if we can get in touch with my mother anymore."

"Ray, have a try!" asked Alick in a hurry.

Ray stared at his watch for a while and nodded heavily. "I've come up with an idea. I'll try it later. Don't speak, okay?"

"Okay!"

Ray looked around the place to find a clean spot to sit down. As he sat

o the ground and said, "Mr. Lan, it's your turn."

"Don't!" Mary yelled at William while crying. "No, William! You'll be dead if you throw your gun away! Don't trust him!"

"I'm very honest," Corbett said. "There's no need for me to fool you. Otherwise, Miss Mary, do you think you would have the chance to see your beloved man rescue you?"

"What if I win?" William asked. "Let us go."

"Afraid not, Mr. Lan. You have to win four consecutive rounds." Corbett let out a snort. "Have you forgotten those three children? One round for one person. Isn't it fair?"

"Where are they?" As William heard that, his courage seemed to have left him at once. His sneer turned into a frown and he suddenly felt nervous. He could not hear what was going on with Aisha and others now.

To answer his queries, Corbett suddenly looked behind him and said, "They are over there."

Confused, William looked in the direction of his gaze and saw a vast bay. However, something caught his eye. Three small black dots were floating above the sea.

"What did you do to them? They are just kids!" All of a sudden, William realized what the three black dots were. His nervousness suddenly turned to fury.

"They are waiting for you to win so you could save them. If you win, I'll release one. If you lose, I'll drop one to the sea. Isn't it exciting?"

"Despicable!" Through gritted teeth, William cursed Corbett. If looks could kill, Corbett would have been long gone.

"Alick! Elissa!" Mary turned her head to take a look at the children. Blood seemed to have drained out of her face, making her extremely pale. If she had not been tied, she would have fallen down.

"Let's begin."
