Chapter 477

477 Power Couple
Joshua let go, and Dalton, whose handsome features made him look out of place in an abandoned
building like this, gazed at him curiously ow did you get out if the serial killer was as vicious as you
sald?”
Maurice agreed after collecting his thoughts. “Yes. How are you moving so freely within the formation?”
He wondered if Joshua was blessed with heavenly luck too. He then began to question if heavenly luck
had been given out in a free–for–all and he had somehow missed the memo.
Maurice had little experience in the real world, so his first reaction was to call for Kaspar. “Master!”
However, Kaspar had no time to entertain his apprentice’s questions. He bolted up to the second floor,
where the evil aura was strongest.
Seeing this, Joshua thought he could sneak away. However, Dalton blocked his way and asked, “Could
you show us the way to the room where the hostages are?”
“There’s a killer in there!” Joshua snapped, wondering if the handsome man before him was deaf or
simply had a death wish.
Dalton eyed him evenly. “We’re looking for the killer.”
“What?” Joshua gaped at him.
Dalton said slowly. “You provided false information when you signed up as a show candidate Your real
name is Josiah Geller, and you’re 33 years old. You married and started a family at a young age.
“You had twin daughters, but now you’re left with only a three–year–old son. The reason you’re back in
Kingbourne is to seek medical treatment for your son.
“He’s developmentally retarded and requires expensive, ongoing treatment. The money you received
as compensation from the manufacturer ran out in the last three years.
“When you found out how much Ultimate Survival was willing to pay its candidates per episode, you
decided to try your luck and signed up for it.
“You didn’t think you would be picked, but you changed your personal information for fear of having
your
past dug up.
Dakton recited Josiah’s entire history as if he was familiar with the case details and was merely laying
down the pretext of it.
Dalton had always been lethal with his intelligence and resourcefulness. In the short drive it took to get
to the set, he had already memorized all there was to know about Josiah.
Josiah blanched. He glared at Dalton menacingly and warned, “Stay out of it, pal. Go after the killer
upstairs if you want and leave me alone!”
He wouldn’t let a delicate–looking man like Dalton threaten him into submission, no matter how elegant
and imposing Dalton appeared.
Josiah narrowed his eyes as he assessed Dalton. He might not have been able to take on that crazy
young lady upstairs, but he could certainly fight a sheltered scion.
However, before Josiah could strike, Dalton had already raised one long leg and kicked him hard.
Dalton. pulled off the move effortlessly and gracefully. He didn’t move like a sick person at all.
Not one to waste time on small talk, he gazed d glaring up at him.
at Josiah, who had doubled over in pain and was
“Mr. Geller, I forgot to mention that I’m a bit of a germaphobe, and I don’t like being touched,”
Blood filled Josiah’s mouth, and he had lost a tooth after taking a kick from Dalton.
Wynter came downstairs in time to catch this moment. She glanced at Dalton, her beautiful fiancé,
standing tall and straight in the shadows. He looked imperious in his white shirt and dark trench coat.
As if sensing her gaze on him, Dalton looked up at her. A smile curled on his lips as he explained, “He
was going to hit me. I kicked him out of self–defense. Do I get a reward for stopping the culprit?”
He reached down to pull Josiah up by the collar. With one fling, he tossed the latter at Wynter’s feet
effortlessly.
A brief look at Josiah told Wynter he was still breathing. She glanced at Dalton and took in his purplish
aura. “That’s great and all, but I kind of need something else from you.
“Hmm?” Dalton raised a brow.
