Chapter 2647
Night of Destiny
Indeed, the battlefield proved to be the best place to test his daughter. His training had not been in
vain, and he believed his daughter could protect herself well.
Moreover, the ferociousness she displayed when taking lives resembled himself in his younger days-
swift, ruthless, and without a hint of hesitation.
The several ministers on the side were sweating profusely, as they witnessed the scene playing before
them. They had once considered sending people to kidnap and deal with Shirley to hinder Zacharias.
They truly didnât expect that she would turn out to be such a formidable opponent.
Shirleyâs performance today exceeded her usual standards. Why? Because there was a fierce
determination in her that was fueled by the thought of these people attempting to harm Zacharias. They
were her enemies, and what they did was unforgivable. Therefore, they would have to pay the price for
their actions.
Meanwhile, the gunfire outside continued relentlessly. When she noticed this, she couldnât help but say
to her father, âDad, Iâll go over from the rooftop.â
âCheri-â Richard wanted to stop her from going alone.
Alas, she had already grabbed the rope she had brought down with her. Then, she swung from the
window and climbed up the rope.
He could only hold his ground to prevent the enemy from breaking in because these four individuals
had to survive this ordeal. He had to ensure that they would be tried in court. If they died, there
wouldnât be a day of peace as the enemies hiding in the shadows would fail to be eradicated.
Shirley arrived at the rooftop, picked up an AK-47 lying on the ground, and shoved the door open
confidently. She was like a fearless Valkyrie straight out of a game.
The number of mercenaries had increased from six to over a dozen. They were all here for the money.
Some had seized the opportunity to flee with their lives. Nonetheless, others were determined to get
the money even at the cost of their lives. They had to rescue the captured ministers.
As soon as Shirley descended the stairs, she encountered a mercenary. Both opened fire almost
simultaneously. A bullet grazed her shoulder, leaving a bloody trail. Her aim struck true as the other
paid with his life.
She glanced at the bloodstain on her shoulder, gritted her teeth, and continued walking. Someone had
rushed over after hearing gunshots. So, she slipped into a corner and ambushed them, taking down
two individuals instantly.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books

At that moment, Shirley heard the sound of the main force arriving downstairs, and she immediately
breathed a sigh of relief-the reinforcements had finally arrived.
The mercenaries naturally heard it and soon became restless like ants on a hot pan. They were
preparing to escape.
Unfortunately, they had to go up the rooftop if they wanted to flee, and Shirley had already predicted
their decision. So, she quickly made her way to the rooftop, chose an optimal shooting position, and
started sniping the remaining mercenaries. Her actions and perfect aim forced those hired guns into a
desperate situation. On the other hand, the special forces had already arrived at Richardâs position
upstairs.
A decisive battle against the enemy was nearing its end.
As the last one was gunned down, the entire building was cleared of potential enemies. Richard
watched his daughter appear before noticing the wound on her shoulder. He rushed toward her.
âWhere are you injured? Let me have a look.â
âDad, itâs just a graze from a bullet. Itâs no big deal,â Shirley said with a faint smile.
Richard breathed a sigh of relief and gave her a thumbs up. âYour performance today was excellent,
but donât tell your mother.â
She instantly beamed brightly, âDonât worry! I wonât let Mom know about all this.â
âMr. Lloyd, the helicopter is at the entrance. You should leave first!â
âCheri, you go on ahead. I think Zacharias is probably losing his mind with worry. Iâll stay behind to
escort these people into a jail cell,â Richard said as he was concerned about these four individuals. He
wasnât about to let these scum leave his sight.
âOkay, Dad.â Shirley nodded. The events of tonight had come to an end, and it was time for her to
check on the unconscious man. Nevertheless, she was hoping that he wouldnât be too mad that she
had knocked him out.
Shirley boarded the helicopter and looked down from the aircraft at the island shrouded in darkness.
The island seemed to emit an aura of death and carried an ominous vibe. Zacharias was brought into
the hospital. The punch from Shirley had knocked him out cold. He only managed to wake up and
regain his bearings as the lights in the emergency room turned on.
The first thing he said upon waking up was, âCheri!â
He sat up abruptly. When he saw the bewildered doctor beside him, he immediately pushed himself off
the hospital bed, pulled the door open, and went out. When he saw Freddie outside, he demanded
harshly, âWhere is she?â
