Chapter 348

1/3

As Sirius released the teacher, she screamed, “Help! Someone is kidnapping Narcisse!”

Her sharp voice echoed down the entire street.

Hearing the scream, the bald man and his crew immediately pushed through the crowd and ran over.

“Damn it. Stop them!”

The bald man’s forehead veins bulged, and his eyes widened in fury as if it were his parents being taken

away.

A dozen or so people came rushing over.

Many vendors on the opposite side also drew knives and joined the chase.

Sirius said in a deep voice, “You go first. I’ll hold them off!”

Valin shouted back, “Are you crazy? There are too many of them. You can’t stop them!”

“Just go! Don’t worry about me!” Sirius snarled fiercely.

Seeing the crowd closing in, Valin knew he couldn’t hesitate. He ran to the middle of the road and flagged

down a taxi.

The taxi driver frowned slightly.

Valin held Narcisse in one arm.

He pressed the knife against the driver’s neck with the other and shouted, “Get out, now!”

Seeing a dozen people running toward them, the driver remained surprisingly calm.

“Buddy, you won’t get away with this.”

Valin flipped the knife and stabbed the driver in the shoulder, then aimed it at his neck.

The driver panicked.

“Alright, alright! I’m getting out!”

He opened the door and got out, clutching his bleeding shoulder.

Valin sat in the driver’s seat, gripping the wheel tightly as Narcisse cried and beat at him. Ignoring her cries, he started the car and sped off.

Glancing in the rearview mirror, he saw Sirius being beaten on the ground by the group. Benjamin was also being dragged out of the convenience store by another group.

Valin’s knuckles turned white as he clenched the wheel, red–eyed. He pushed the gas pedal to the floor.

Meanwhile, back at the convenience store, the bald man and his crew brought Sirius out to the front.

Lothar’s face was dark with anger.

“Where is Ms. Holder?”

The bald man stammered, “M–Ms. Holder was taken…”

Lothar landed a hard slap across the bald man’s face.

“You useless piece of trash! What good are you?”

Benjamin was bruised and battered, but he felt a wave of relief when he heard Narcisse had been taken.

Even though he and Sirius had been caught, they had at least completed the task Carlisle had assigned them.

Lothar turned to Benjamin and grabbed him by the collar.

“Who sent you? Why did you take Narcisse?”

“Do you really want to know?”

Benjamin’s mouth twisted into a defiant smirk.

Lothar knew Benjamin wouldn’t easily give in.

He nodded as he pulled Benjamin’s phone from his pocket.

He then handed it to him.

“Get him to bring Narcisse back, and I’ll pretend this never happened. I’ll even return all the money you

lost.”

Their primary objective was to protect Narcisse. If something happened to her, Jalen would be furious,

and none of them would be safe.

“Really?”

Benjamin looked at Lothar skeptically.

“May my whole family die if there’s a single lie in my words!” Lothar swore to convince Benjamin, then

waved his hand.

“Let him go.”

The men holding Benjamin released him.

Benjamin took the phone and reset it to factory settings at lightning speed.

“Son of a bitch!”

Lothar punched Benjamin hard in the face and then kneed him in the stomach.

Benjamin’s nose and mouth bled, but he doubled over, laughing.

Lothar unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks.
