Chapter 841:
Her determination grew stronger with every movement, and as she struggled, the frame began to shift, its structure wobbling dangerously. She was perilously close to the edge of the cliff, teetering on the brink.
With one final push, the frame gave way entirely, pulling her even closer to the drop.
At that crucial moment, Kareem arrived.
He dashed forward, catching Harleeâs hand just as she was about to fall.
âDonât let go. Iâll get you up,â he said urgently.
With a forceful pull, and with the help of the elite unit accompanying him, Kareem lifted her to safety in mere seconds.
Kareemâs heart ached with empathy as he untied Harleeâs bonds.
His face fell when he saw the deep purple bruises marring her wrists.
Harlee clung to Kareemâs hand, her voice barely a whisper.
âKareem, Rhysâ¦
Heâs gone.
He fellâ¦â
Harlee broke down completely, her sobs uncontrollable.
Her mind was a whirlwind of panic, and all she could do was repeat the devastating truth. Rhys had plummeted from the cliff.
Kareem froze.

He hadnât imagined this turn of events. Thinking of Lindsay, who had also vanished, Kareem quickly pieced together what had likely transpired.
A surge of respect, relief, and sorrow washed over him. Rhys had proven his courage, sacrificing himself to shield Harlee.
Kareem embraced Harlee gently, his voice tender as he tried to console her.
âYouâre safe now. Thatâs what matters.â Though Kareem grieved for Rhys, his greater concern lay with Harleeâs fragile emotional state.
âKareem, what should we do? Rhysâ¦
He fell. To stop Lindsay from harming Nyomi, he threw himself over the edgeâ¦â Harleeâs anguish deepened, and her body gave out, collapsing into Kareemâs arms.
The special forces who had driven them up approached.
Anticipating potential complications, Kareem had ensured the presence of both tactical operatives and medical personnel.
As soon as the medics arrived, Kareem ordered them to check on Nyomiâs condition.
He knew Harlee had fainted from shock, but Nyomiâs condition was far more critical. She was suffering from severe blood loss.
In the car, after the medics treated Nyomiâs wounds, everyone gasped. Two sections of flesh had been methodically removed from her arm.
Even for seasoned professionals accustomed to the worst humanity could offer, such cruelty left them speechless. It was the first time they had seen such brutality inflicted on a civilian outside of the battlefield.
The cuts were non-lethal, as they avoided major arteries, but they inflicted maximum torment.
Kareemâs fury was palpable as he addressed the medic.
