The three people in the car were shocked by this sudden development. Olivia would already be dead if the windows weren't bulletproof. "Watch out!"That bullet was an armor-piercing round. It wasn't enough to punch through the window, but it was embedded into it. Cracked appeared all around the bullet. Then, a second bullet and a third one followed. The glass finally broke with a loud crash. Wayne reacted quickly. When the first shot was fired, he immediately pulled Olivia down to the floor of the car and pressed against her. The gunshots didn't stop coming. They broke through the left window and even shot through the one on the right. Even the doors were being riddled with bullets. It was total chaos. Ike steadied the car. "Be careful, Mr. Maxwell!" Wayne turned his gaze to look at Olivia, who was under him. He thought a woman would be nervous in such a situation.Unexpectedly, she looked angry. She yelled, "I told you I didn't want to get in your car!"Olivia was in
Olivia had a bad feeling when the gunshots stopped. The enemy was so determined. Surely, they knew the car had bulletproof windows. She thought about what she would do if she were in the enemy's shoes. Olivia immediately understood when she looked at the gaping hole that used to be the window. "Wayne, you have to cover up the window," Olivia reminded him with a frown."Don't worry. My men aren't worthless. If he wanted to go for a frontal assault, there shouldn't be any snipers. He only has a window of several seconds if he wants to get in close and personal."Wayne had a triumphant smile on his face as he raised his head to look at the two bulletproof windows that were shattered. "He already missed his chance to do that."The cars of Wayne's bodyguards had already blocked off both sides of Wayne's car before the enemy could throw any explosives into his car.As expected, there wasn't any more gunfire. Olivia looked at Wayne, who was still on top of her. Then, she kicked
Jack had never felt so conflicted before. This was his best chance of killing Wayne. But if he threw the grenade, Olivia would die as well.The memories of his time with Olivia flashed in his mind. She really thought of him as a brother. While he hesitated, Wayne's bodyguards were able to catch up and line up a shot at him.Olivia could only watch as the bullet flew toward Jack.She screamed, "No!"But there was nothing she could've done as Jack got shot and fell over. Only the driver was left speeding away.The cold wind blew toward Olivia as tears streamed down her face. How could this happen?If she weren't in the car, Jack would've killed Wayne. He wouldn't have hesitated and gotten himself killed. A few years ago, when she mentioned that she wanted to join the Black Ravens, Jack told her, "The biggest mistake an assassin can make is to be emotional. Only death awaits an assassin who lets his emotion dictate his actions."Even so, he still hesitated when he saw her.W
Ike stepped on the gas and shook Ethan's car off. Olivia didn't know that Ethan had seen Wayne hold her in his arms. She broke free from his grasp and pushed him away. "Have some respect for yourself, Wayne Maxwell."Wayne grabbed her wrist. "Dr. Ophelia, you need to understand one thing. You were the one that came on to me before. Now, you want me to hold back? Too late!"The wind blew at Olivia's hair. Her dark, round eyes were still teary. She looked very endearing. Wayne slowly reached out to caress her face. "Let her go!" Ethan stared right at him."Ethan!"Wayne said annoyedly, "Shake him off!"Ethan also ordered, "Catch up to them!"It was as if Jack's appearance was just an inconsequential encounter. Both Ethan and Wayne had their attention on Olivia at the moment.Ike and Brent were stepping on the gas as hard as they could. Both cars were speeding around in a high-speed case until they finally arrived outside the gates of the Heath Residence.Linus was at the entr
Olivia shook her head. "He wouldn't dare to do anything while we're in Aldenvine, but…"Olivia recalled how tolerant Wayne was toward her. In the past, he would've killed her for doing all those things to him.She slapped him and scratched him. He even found out that the assassin after his life was related to her, but he acted like nothing happened. It was too weird. That was very unlike Wayne to do so. Olivia bit her lip and said awkwardly, "I think he's in love with me."In Raka, Wayne had already developed a small liking for her. However, it was during their car ride that she distinctly felt his affection deepen.A man would only put up with a woman if he was interested in her. It was obvious that Wayne was being a little too tolerant. Ethan felt that a long time ago. If Wayne didn't have feelings for Olivia, he wouldn't wait until the ring was no longer in Olivia's possession before detonating it.Olivia noticed that Ethan had a glum expression on his face. She took his
When they got back to her room, Olivia was still thinking about Jack. But Ethan was clearly thinking about something else. "Is there no news about Jack yet?"Ethan snapped back to his senses. "What did you say?"Olivia held his hand and declared, "I don't like Wayne, not even a little."Looking at Olivia's determined gaze, Ethan sighed. "I know. I'm just…"Ethan was just insecure. Since the day he met Olivia, he knew that she was a great and talented woman.She would be the center of attention no matter where she went. In the past, he tried to hide her at home so no one could see her. He made her light grow dim when he decided to make her his personal property. No one else saw how special she was after that. He was the one who lost her. When she returned to his world again, she began to shine even brighter than before, but their relationship could never go back to what it used to be.Olivia knew that Ethan was a very possessive man. So, she tried to explain further. "I we
A business deal worth billions would be very attractive for a company. But for a country, the most important thing would be the intent behind the deal. On the surface, the five superpowers maintained a balance, but every one of them wanted to reign supreme. Arlandia never caused any trouble, but it wasn't afraid of trouble either.But alliances were always going to be better than wars. Wayne used to be a pesky troublemaker. He would stir trouble all over the place and cause unrest. Trade was a common tactic for the two countries to maintain good relations. This meant that Wayne came with the intent to call for peace.If he stopped causing trouble, Linus wouldn't have to stay at the country's border all the time. He could return to Aldenvine and help Mason. Mason was getting older, and he felt even weaker after the last time he got hurt."It's fine. You don't have to do anything you don't want to. I'll handle it for you."Linus smiled gently. His eyes were filled with understa
Olivia continued to provide Molly with some enlightenment. "As a mother, I shouldn't say something like this. But from the perspective of a child, do you think the baby would want such a life? "The Walkers are all vicious criminals. Krystal has no love for the baby. Even his father, Yale, is determined to kill him."If he were really brought into the world, his life would be miserable. Krystal might even use him as a pawn to get revenge against Yale and the Heath family."Krystal's around one month into her pregnancy. The baby hasn't fully formed yet. Getting an abortion for it would be a good thing for the baby itself and everyone else."Molly lowered her head and touched her belly. "I'm just worried that I can't get pregnant anymore. If that baby is born, I can…""Don't even think about that. You would just be making the same mistakes the previous generation did. "I have nothing against the baby, but genetics is a very wondrous thing. I have four children, so I have some ex
