âDonât you think your question is ridiculous?â
Christopher forcefully brushed her hand away, laughing scornfully. âIf I had known you were such a
clingy woman, I wouldnât have saved you back then.â
With a resounding slam, Christopher stormed out, leaving Yvonne curled up naked on the floor, crying
her heart out and feeling worse than the torn dress scattered on the floor.
The freezing rain hammered down on Justinâs body. The journey was difficult, but he pushed forward.
Asher walked beside him. Although he appeared calm, he was and living secretly lamenting Justinâs
speed. Justin was worthy of his military- accolades and his veteran title from his time with the
peacekeeping forces. Despite being away from the battlefield for yea luxuriously, Justin did not slack off
nor was his body He was ready to pick up his weapon and head for comb necessary.
Asher couldnât help acknowledging that, besides himself, per only person in the world who could
ensure absolute security sister was Justin.
âWhat a shame!â Asher sighed silently.
"What?â Despite moving quickly, Justin could still hear him distinct
Just as Asher was about to reply, everything around him suddenly became a blur.
In an instant, Justin tackled him to the ground, and a series of bullets swept through the spot where he
had just stood, leaving terrifying holes in the ground.
Although Asher was accustomed to intense situations, he couldnât help but feel a shiver down his
spine. A cold sweat formed on his forehead.
If he were a second too late, he would have been riddled with bullets. It was Justin who saved his life!
âAre you alright?â
âIâm okay,â Asher said as he gasped for breath. âThank you.â
âThereâs an ambush nearby. We canât afford any slacking from now on! Otherwise, Bella might lose two
loved ones in just one night!â
Justinâs eyes sparked like lightning as he carefully scanned his surroundings.
Relying on the dim light from the flashlight held by his subordinat his sharp vision and hearing allowed
him to detect the dangers. lurking in the darkness.
âMr. Salvador! Mr. Thompson! Weâre under attack! You need to-â
The subordinate, who was rushing toward them, suddenly fell silent.
A bullet pierced through his chest, leaving him wide-eyed with shock before collapsing to the ground.
An onslaught of bullets followed, dispersing everyone in different directions amidst the dense jungle.
They were too preoccupied to protect Justin and Asherâs safety any longer!
Both Justin and Asher found cover behind a large boulder, swiftly returning fire with precision that took
down four assailants consecutively.
Despite their accuracy, the situation remained extremely dire!
âWhatâs going on? Have Winstonâs allies located us?!â Asher furrowed his brów, reloading his weapon
and keeping a watchful eye on the situation outside.
âOur location was supposed to be completely confidential. Thereâs no way anyone could have found
out!â
âBut somehow, news of our activities tonight got leaked.â
Just then, another bullet narrowly missed Justinâs ear!
Asherâs heart raced, but he remained calm and composed. His cold and stern gaze cut through the
darkness as he swiftly turne fired two shots, taking down another attacker.
He thought, âAs expected of someone who has experienced th battlefield, heâs composed and
adaptable. No wonder Bella fell with him.â
âWho could it be?â Asher asked urgently.
âIt is possible that aside from Shannon, there are others within the country who secretly collude with
Winston to assist him. Maybe eve plotting to eliminate you and me in the process.â
As he spoke these words, for some inexplicable reason, a name
Justin didnât want to remember suddenly flashed through his mind- Christopher Iverson.
