Chapter 373: Who Was It?

Chapter 373: Who Was It?

"Hazel..." Joshua looked relieved.

"Joshua," Hazel was both happy and curious. "How did you find me?"

After all, she got into Simon’s car and then was forcefully taken to the casino.

She knew that it was a difficult situation, so she was curious about how he had figured things out. Hazel had realized that Joshua had told her before, even in Country F, he could protect her.

"The bodyguard said that he saw you were sitting in someone’s car," Joshua said. "Although I couldn’t find out where the car went, I followed the path of all the gun battles.”

He had found out that the gun battles were related to Simon, he didn’t know if Hazel was there, but he still didn’t give up because he couldn’t take the chance. He didn’t want to miss the opportunity to save Hazel, so he tracked Simon to the casino.

Hazel listened to his story, she felt dizzy, and it all seemed unclear, but one thing she understood was that Joshua was stronger than she thought.

"Mr. Denmark," a military officer walked over to him. "Since you found your wife, can we leave?"

"General Martin, are you afraid of Simon?" Joshua said.

"This..." General Martin looked somewhat embarrassed.

It was as if Joshua guessed what he was thinking, he said, “General Martin, I understand your concerns. The power behind Simon is strong, you don’t want to provoke him, but he has now expanded his power to Country F. If you don’t kill him before he becomes stronger. If he does get stronger, you won’t be able to touch me!”

General Martin changed his expression and then waved his hand. A group of troops marched toward the casino. The General and Joshua exchanged words in another language, Hazel didn’t understand and was confused. She heard Simon’s name occasionally but could not figure out anything else, she wondered if it was possible that Joshua really knew Simon.

"Hazel, let's go, I will take you back to the hotel." Joshua took her by the shoulders. She heard a fight starting behind her, and she understood that Joshua did not want her to see it, so she agreed and walked out.

After she got into Joshua’s car, Hazel gently leaned in his arms, it felt so unreal. It was only moments before that she was fighting with a man who wanted to take her away, then suddenly she was in Joshua’s arms and not afraid of anything.

"Joshua..." Hazel bit his lip gently. "You haven’t asked me what happened?"

"Hazel, if you want to say, I will listen." Joshua whispered, "If you don't want to say, I won't ask."

Even though he hadn’t had any contact with Simon, he knew a little about him. Simon was a very heart-wrenching man who would not save a strange woman for no reason. Since he found Hazel at the casino, it was evident that Simon was the person she had met. The only reason Simon would save her was that he had a purpose for her.

Given the details of the situation, he understood that there might be things that Hazel wouldn’t be able to talk about, and if he rushed to ask questions, it could hurt her more.

Hazel’s heartfelt warmth, Joshua was kind and gentle with a delicate heart, even if he looked distant most of the time.

"I was being chased, so I jumped into a car. Simon was the one driving…” Hazel quietly told Joshua what happened. She didn’t really want to tell him, but it was obvious that it would become a deep fear in her heart if she didn't tell him. She slowly told Joshua everything except the details about Simon flirting with her.

"Hazel, sorry, this time, I was really careless," Joshua whispered. His original thought was that bringing Hazel with him was the safest thing. He did not expect that the people wanting to kill Hazel would follow them.

"Who is trying to kill me?" Hazel muttered. "They are really persistent."

“I don’t know who they are,” Joshua explained. “It’s a small local gang that someone hired through anonymous emails and untraceable bank accounts to kill you.”

"Who was it?" Hazel frowned.

"I haven't found it out yet," Joshua whispered. "Just checked, the IP was domestic, and I have to check it again."

Hazel smiled bitterly. Even if she went to another country, the people trying to kill her would not give up.

Hazel looked out the window, filled with sorrow. “This is not the way back to the hotel.”

“No, it isn’t,” Joshua said. “The hotel is not safe. Since they are prepared to attack you, we need to move to a safer place.”

Hazel snorted, she didn’t really care where she saved, but when they arrived, she was shocked.

They were stopped in front of a beautiful European-style castle. She was shocked that they were at a castle but more shocked at the number of security guards. She hadn’t even stepped out of the car, but she felt the overwhelming sense of security.

"This is too much..." Hazel's lips were twitching.

"This is all related to your safety. I want to do more." Joshua sighed.

Hazel was completely speechless. Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, and she asked, "Is it because of Simon? Is he very powerful?"

As soon as she spoke, Hazel bites her lip with some annoyance. She should have thought before she said it, Joshua must not like him, and she just blurted it out.

Joshua squinted and touched Hazel’s hair. “He is indeed quite powerful. However, his power in this country has just taken root, and he is not yet as powerful as me in all aspects.”

Hazel wondered what aspects Joshua was talking about. It was obvious that he was jealous.

"What about him now?" Hazel then asked. After asking, her face became pale. She suddenly felt that she was not making wise decisions, how could she make such a low-level mistake? Asking Joshua all kinds of questions would only lead to his misunderstanding and becoming jealous.

“I don’t have any other reason to ask, other than being curious…not really curious, I just want to know…Oh, I don’t know how to say it.” Hazel was upset. She was obviously trying to explain, but her explanation only made the misunderstanding worse.
