Chapter 546:
âContinue this, and youâll have hunters on your tail.â
Following his line of sight to the road behind, Lindsay saw a dozen police cars in pursuit, with Clint leading the charge.
Her expression turned steely as she hissed, âKill him!â
âRest easy, Miss Morgan, he wonât be leaving here alive,â the leader of the men in black declared with chilling calm.
With those ominous words hanging in the air, he hoisted his sniper rifle and peered through its scope with icy determination.
The car window slid open quietly, and he took precise aim at Clintâs tire.
A sharp, resounding gunshot shattered the silence. The tire exploded with a violent burst, sending rubber shards flying.
Caught off-guard, Clint failed to react swiftly enough, losing his grip on the steering wheel.
Clintâs vehicle swerved uncontrollably, scraping against the police cars flanking it, sending sparks cascading into the night.
After a tumultuous skid, Clintâs car crashed against the roadside guardrail with a deafening smash.
Clintâs world went black as he slumped over, knocked unconscious by the impact.
In the chaos, nearly half of the dozen police cars were wrecked. The officers inside were thrown into disarray, sustaining a range of injuries from severe to minor. Only a handful remained unscathed amidst the wreckage.
Lindsay couldnât help but whistle, her excitement palpable.
âThatâs killing three birds with one stone. Quite the spectacle!â

The leader, however, maintained his stoic demeanor, untouched by the adrenaline of the moment.
He turned to Lindsay, his voice flat and businesslike.
âMiss Morgan, Mr. Norris instructed that once we shake off those police cars, you should get out.â
Lindsayâs brow furrowed slightly.
âWhat about Harlee?â
âThere was an unexpected situation over there. We need to provide backup immediately,â he replied, already pivoting toward their next move.
Panic flickered in Lindsayâs eyes as her heart raced.
âUnexpected situation? What does that mean? Donât tell me Harlee has slipped away again.â
The leader merely echoed his prior statement without further clarification.
Frustration surged within Lindsay as she slammed her fist against the car seat.
âAre you treating me like an idiot? If you donât clarify things right now, youâre not going anywhere!â
âMiss Morgan, remember, you do not command this missionâ¦â The leaderâs voice chilled the air, his eyes conveying a stark warning.
Then, shifting to a more conciliatory tone, he continued, âIf it eases your anger, once we stop, feel free to deal with this woman as you see fit. Weâll take care of any fallout.â
A spark ignited in Lindsayâs eyes.
âAlright, I agree!â Her curiosity about the raw thrill of taking a life had always lingered, a truly thrilling prospect! Drugs had twisted Lindsayâs mind, pushing her into the depths of madness.
Meanwhile, Ritchie had just arrived when he saw Clint being hurriedly loaded into an ambulance.
He immediately sent a text to Harlee.
