She had to save him.
“Fool, why did you come back? I’m fine!” Justin held his abdominal wound and spoke intermittently.
He tried to struggle, but Harriet refused to let go. She tightly held him while dodging the bullets.
Her maneuvering was skillful.
Justin had to admit that Harriet, whom they once protected, had grown up and no longer needed their protection. But they never expected that these black—clothed people would make another move.
On the fifth floor of a building diagonally across from the café, a killer was hiding with a sniper rifle aimed in the direction of Harriet.
Awoman’s instructions came through his earpiece.
He nodded and answered in a cold voice, “Understood, Miss! | will make sure Harriet doesn’t make it to Imperium!” After turning off his earpiece, he pulled the trigger, and the bullet darted toward Harriet.
Justin, who had once been a mercenary, heard the sound. He narrowed his eyes and looked over.
In an instant, he spotted the sniper on the fifth floor and the bullet that pierced through the window.
Without hesitation, he held Harriet and took the shot for her.
The bullet hit his back, and he spat out blood that splattered all over Harriet’s body.
Harriet trembled in shock.
Justin weakly leaned toward Harriet’s ear and spoke tremulously. “Don’t worry about me! Run!
“Remember, you are the young lady of the Bass family. You must go to Imperium and take back. what belongs to you.” Before he could finish, several more bullets were shot toward them.
Justin gathered his strength and pushed the stunned Harriet away.
“Harriet, run!” he shouted before rushing forward to fight several black—clothed men.
Harriet knew that Justin was protecting her.
She tearfully looked at him and ran away.
She had to go. If she stayed, she would only drag Justin down.
She intended to go back and seek Delbert’s help.
She could feel Justin’s goodwill toward her.
Moreover, there was something she had not asked him.
Why was she the young lady of the Bass family?
As she ran, she couldn’t help but cry out loud.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Justin, don’t worry! | will come back with help!” she muttered.
Seeing her run away, several black—clothed men immediately gave chase.
Their master’s order was to kill Harriet today.
If Delbert arrived, they would have no chance.
Several of them took a shortcut and appeared in front of Harriet, blocking her path. Harriet’s heart sank, and they raised their guns.
The dark muzzles were aimed at her.
Aseries of gunshots then rang out.
