Chapter 1364 Hostage
Elisa did not expect the attendant to be an imposter who carried a weapon.
The man moved so fast that Elisa did not have time to react. He grabbed her and pressed the
sharp dagger against her neck.
"Let her go!" Gareth shouted and narrowed his eyes threateningly.
Elisa grabbed the man's hand, but he immediately figured out what she was trying to do. He
pulled the dagger even closer to her neck.
Elisa's expression darkened. She could have easily dodged just now, but she wanted to
discover why the man did this.
From the moment he attacked her, Elisa could tell he was unskilled.
The man also did not notice Elisa and Gareth exchanging glances when he grabbed her.
Otherwise, Gareth would never allow Elisa to fall into his hand.

The man dropped his act and said harshly, "Hand over Ganoderma Caligo. Otherwise, I will
slash her throat!"
"You think killing me will get you Ganoderma Caligo?" Elisa was not afraid. She smirked when
he revealed why he had come here.
Gareth remained silent.
He looked at the man fiercely.
"Cut the cr*p! Gareth Wicham, will you hand it over or not?" The man grabbed Elisa and
stepped away, but Gareth followed closely.
Then, the man went to the door and shouted, "Guys, I've done it!"
'Bang!'
Four men waiting outside the suite kicked open the door.
They rushed in and surrounded Gareth.

Gareth glared at them fiercely. His body was shrouded with an intimidating aura, making him
seem like a creature straight out of hell.
The four men exchanged glances and attacked Gareth at once. It turned out that the man had
only said those words to buy time.
His real intention was to snatch Ganoderma Caligo from Gareth and Elisa by any means.
Still, Gareth remained unfazed even when four men charged at him.
He dodged their every strike.
Moreover, he hit back at an incredible speed and launched a series of attacks, prompting two
thugs to retreat fearfully.
Although he remained calm, what Elisa feared the most still happened.
Gareth had suffered from the effects of the drug the night before and had to fight with four
people. He soon ran out of energy and was forced to retreat.
The four thugs thought it was finally their chance to strike back.

Unfortunately for them…
Thomas appeared before they could hit Gareth and pulled the gun from his belt.
One of the thugs immediately collapsed to the floor. While the other thugs were confused,
Gareth grabbed the chance and attacked speedily.
He quickly subdued all four thugs.
"Stop it! You think I don't dare to kill Elisa?" The man became nervous when he saw Gareth
strike down his companions.
He pressed the dagger against Elisa's throat but could not hurt her. He did not realize that his
hand was shaking.
Elisa smiled vaguely and reached for the man's wrist.
She planned to subdue him but did not expect…
Elisa's expression froze. Why is his pulse so erratic? They show clear signs of poisoning.
Moreover, he has been poisoned for three years!
The victim feels piercing pain in his heart from the poison. Without the antidote, the victim will
eventually die from the excruciating pain.
Elisa was not afraid despite being held hostage and asked calmly, "Did your master poison you
to ensure loyalty?"
