Chapter 591:
Widening his eyes, he yelled frantically, âCover it with a body! Now!â
Following his command, Cormac grabbed nearby corpses and hurled them over the grenade before throwing himself over Chamberlain to shield him.
Meanwhile, Rhys lay restless in his hospital bed, anxiously awaiting news from Harlee.
He had even sent Patrick to monitor the Sanderson villa, but there was no trace of her.
A sense of dread gnawed at Rhys.
His intuition kept telling him that something had happened to Harlee.
Though each movement sent pain ripping through his unhealed wounds, Rhys attempted to rise. Quickly, Hamilton pressed Rhys firmly back onto the bed.
âMiss Sanderson is resourceful. She wonât let herself get into trouble. Thereâs no need for you to be worried.â
Despite Hamiltonâs assurance, Rhys struggled.
Hamilton restrained Rhys carefully, avoiding his injuries but keeping him immobile.
âLet go of me!â Rhys demanded.
However, Hamilton held his ground, unyielding.
He skillfully avoided Rhysâ wound, using minimal force to curb Rhysâ impulsive attempt to head out.
With a firm voice, Hamilton said, âNo.
Even if you punish me later, Iâm not letting you out today.â
Rhys glared, but Hamilton didnât flinch. It was the first time Hamilton had openly defied Rhys.

Hamilton continued, âMiss Sanderson specifically made me and Patrick swear to take care of you before she left. If you try to leave now, over my dead body.â
âAre you threatening me?â Rhys growled.
âCall it what you will,â Hamilton replied.
âBut Iâm not going to budge, even if it costs me my life.â
Rhysâ kindness had saved Hamilton and his family. Today, Hamilton resolved to return the favor, even at the cost of his life.
Just then, Patrick called, urgency in his voice.
âMr. Green, after leaving the Sanderson villa, I sensed something unusual at the Oracle Parking Lot. I attempted to enter under the guise of parking, but they stopped me.
Determined, I slipped through a hidden corner and discovered chaos, signs of gunfire and explosives everywhere. I worried Miss Sanderson might have been caught up in it, but after searching, I only found the military managing the scene. Using our connections, I uncovered what Miss Sanderson had experienced earlier todayâ¦â
Patrick recounted Harleeâs unforeseen clash with Gruiniaâs infamous fraud syndicate before continuing, âThe military has now confirmed that Miss Sanderson is leading three teams toward a mountain outside the city. Iâm en route to meet her there.â
Rhys exhaled, momentarily relieved by Patrickâs update, but his worry quickly returned.
Gruiniaâs fraud syndicate⦠those were absolute maniacs!
âMobilize every underground connection we have to assist them,â Rhys instructed.
Patrick froze in disbelief.
