Chapter 2066

Chapter 2065 A Fate Worse Than Death

William didn’t ask any questions or waste any time. He sent his men to the orphanage immediately. After that, he

called Monica and had her meet up with Francesca at the orphanage as quickly as possible.

Francesca didn’t want to get William involved in the matter, but it was an emergency. She had no choice and could

only ask for his help.

The car zipped down the road. Every single part of Francesca wished that she could be at the orphanage right

away.

It was the middle of the night, so there was no traffic. Unfortunately, the distance between the two locations was

simply too great. It didn’t matter how fast the car traveled. It would still take her some time to get there.

Time trickled by one second after another. It felt as though an eternity had passed before Francesca finally reached

the orphanage.

The car swerved beautifully as though it were driven by a racer, but it stopped right at the entrance of the

orphanage.

Francesca jumped out of the car. When she saw what was in front of her, she was dumbfounded.

A few police cars were parked right in front of the entrance, and the police officers had their guns pointed at the

door. Everyone seemed to be on high alert, even though the place was strangely quiet.

Just before Francesca reached the place, the police officers used a loudspeaker and tried to negotiate. All they got

in return was a rude statement. “Stop talking. If I hear another word out of you, I will kill one of the kids here.”

The police officers turned off the loudspeaker right away and stopped talking entirely.

After that, Chrono replied, “Everyone is to remain quiet now. We’ll wait for Francesca Felch to show up. I want to

talk to her.”

No one dared to say another word. The only thing they could do was wait outside the orphanage.

A police officer checked out the surrounding area and tried to sneak in, but a gunshot came when he got too close.

The kids’ panicked screams filled the air soon after.

No one dared to try anything else after that. Monica also showed up to remind them that the orphanage had

security cameras everywhere. Chrono could see everything.

If they tried anything at all, it was likely the guy would go on a murder rampage.

That was why everyone was quietly waiting for Francesca to show up.

“Ms. Felch!” said Monica when she saw Francesca. She hurried over and nervously reported, “Chrono set up a lot of

bombs in the orphanage and is holding all the kids as hostages.”

Francesca had suspected that was the case, but actually hearing the news from Monica still hit her hard. “That

freaking lunatic!”

“Calm down, Ms. Felch,” replied Monica as she held Francesca back.

“We’re strategizing now, Ms. Felch. Do you have the blueprints for the orphanage’s interior?” asked one of William’s

subordinates.

“There’s no point. There’s nothing you can do, even if you manage to sneak in. He’s holding over a hundred kids

and the employees as hostages!” replied Francesca.

She massaged her head a little to force herself to calm down. “I’m the one Chrono wants, so he won’t hurt the kids

so long as he has me.”

“But—”

The others had more to say, but the door to the orphanage opened at that moment. A creepy and deep voice

echoed. “Francesca Felch. You’re finally here.”

His voice was especially eerie on that dark, quiet night.

“Chrono, I’m the one you want. Let the kids go!”

Francesca ran toward the door.

“Killing you will be too merciful,” said Chrono. He grinned evilly. “I want you to have a taste of the sorrow you

condemned me into.”

“What do you want?” demanded Francesca nervously. “Don’t act recklessly, or…”

She never got to finish her sentence. A few kids walked out of the orphanage slowly and fearfully. When they saw

Francesca there, they cried loudly.

“Save me, please!”

“Kids…”

Francesca wanted to run to the kids and rescue them, but she noticed that every single one of them had a bomb

strapped onto them.

She stopped in her tracks and roared angrily at Chrono, ”You freaking lunatic! What do you want from me?”

“Get on your knees,” commanded Chrono mercilessly.

“You—”

Francesca was about to protest when a loud bang filled the air. The bullet zipped right past the top of a kid’s head.

It scared the kid so much that he fell onto the floor and cried fearfully.
