Before he could finish speaking, blood trickled from the corner of Felix’s mouth and his pupils dilated. He died...Christian bit his lips, and Jessica frowned.This was the first time she had seen someone she didn't know die in front of her, but she still felt so sad. She was vaguely aware that Felix might not have died if it wasn't for her...Felix fought to take off White’s mask and crawled over with his last breath just to tell them who White was. However... In the end, he failed...Looking at Christian's stiff shoulders, Jessica knew how sad he was.But they did not have enough time to calm down. Soon, they heard a group of people’s footsteps coming over.Christian’s eyes widened. He instantly took Jessica’s hand and said, "Hide!"After covering Felix's body with weeds, they hid beside it and held their breath.Jessica subconsciously grabbed Christian's arm, ready to be killed by those people.Christian looked back at her with nothing but determination in his eyes.She u
Christian turned around and gestured to Jessica. "Come out."Jessica then stood up.The masked woman folded her arms and cast a very unhappy glance at Jessica. She asked Christian again, "Are you going to take her with you? Aren't you afraid she'll know more secrets?""Don't worry!"Christian was calm. Facing the masked woman's suspicious eyes, he sternly shouted again, “Aren’t you going? Stop dawdling!""You are taking her with you at such a critical juncture? Have you been bewitched by this woman?" The masked woman growled at Christian.Christian was in no hurry to explain. He was going to play along.The masked woman thought he was White, so she would naturally express her true feelings in front of him, from which he could get more information about White.At this point, he had to disguise himself as White in order to get out of danger and find those people’s backup.Christian had already thought of a way to dispel the masked woman's suspicion. “If we can't get her answer,
Facing the masked woman's doubts, Christian kept calm and wasn't influenced by it at all. "It was a complete shamble just now and we got separated. I have left a message to them. After they see it, they will catch up with us."If he weren't that tough-minded, the masked women must have seen through him.Christian was so calm that the masked woman didn't notice that he wasn't White, but she still had an air of uncertainty about him. She followed Christian and walked towards the headmost car. From time to time, she glared at Jessica who was walking with them.Jessica ignored her.They stood in front of the headmost car door. The masked woman glanced at Jessica discontentedly after she noticed that Jessica followed Christian closely. The masked woman objected, "Is it necessary for us to sit in the same car with her?""If we are blocked by Maddox Group's men on the way and she is in our car, will our chance to live be higher? What's your opinion?" Christian refuted calmly. The masked
Christian took the masked woman's phone.He lied that his phone was lost in the gun battle, so his men couldn't contact him temporarily.Unexpectedly, White's men would contact him through the masked woman. The masked woman became more suspicious.Jessica sat in the back seat. Her heart beat fast.'Felix said that White was badly wounded. White hasn't shown up since then.''It seems that the masked woman hasn't seen White either. Up to now, no one knows that White is missing.''But how long can Christian masquerade as White?''If White shows up, Christian will be exposed at any time.''Who is the person on the phone? The person contacts White through the masked woman, so the person must be White's man. How much does Christian know about that? Can he deal with it...?' Jessica was worried.Christian was also worried. He was a nervous wreck and was about to deal with the unknowns.In the circumstances, the masked woman suspected him very much. He couldn't reveal slightly that he
Though intended to take their measure, the masked woman's every question sounded fairly reasonable. This woman was quite astute.After giving it some thought with a sepulchral look in his eyes, Christian said to the masked woman, "Pull over. We'll find somewhere to get some rest and wait for them while we're at it."Abandoning his men when on the run, without doubt, was something White scorned to do.Christian couldn't forsake his subordinates either. Although the larger the group, the greater the risk of blowing his cover, he had no other choice.The masked woman found a spot ahead and stopped the car without a word.At the sight of the car at their head pulling over, the men in the other cars followed suit, got out and walked over, waiting for further instructions in silence.Christian, emanating a commanding air of leadership, gave some orders and with that some underlings promptly volunteered to contact local forces, check out the lay of the land and find a suitable place for
Christian grabbed the two room keys with his big hand, pivoted around and walked off.The masked woman called out to him from behind, "Where are you going?""The restaurant," Christian replied flintily without a backward glance. "Are you not hungry?"The masked woman made no response.She had been driving non-stop since last night, so of course she was hungry.But they hadn't decided on the room arrangement yet.Jessica paused for a moment and then followed in Christian's wake.Having noticed that Jessica was following him, the masked woman, naturally, was unwilling to be left behind and thus began to descend the stairs with Christian.The hotel had prepared a secluded spot for them to dine. At the sight of the sumptuous buffet, the underlings promptly started to gobble, trying to alleviate their panic with food.Nobody could have foreseen that things would go south. They were totally unprepared for this situation.These people would probably have long since cleared off if Wh
Christian had the belt of his bathrobe loosely fastened, leaving a small part of his chest showing, looking so casual and languid as though he were in his own bedroom.Though on the run and under great pressure, he was still emanating a powerful brooding air which deterred people from defying him.His eyes lifted and flashed at the furious masked woman, the sharp contours of his chin under the mask etched with flintiness.The sight of Christian's reaction antagonized the masked woman even further. "White! I'm not gonna ask about the history between you and this woman, but have you any idea what kind of situation we're faced with? If you sleep with her in these circumstances, what will your men think of you? And how will you retain your command?!""Are you questioning my ability to keep my men in line?!"Christian abruptly lifted his narrowed eyes and fixed the indignant masked woman with a stare.At the sight of the drastic change in Christian's countenance, the masked woman's at
"White, Felton and his men are here!" the man guarding outside reported."Let them in!"Christian ordered in a cold voice. He stuck out his chest and instantly flung away the masked woman wrapped around his body.The masked woman stood still, fixed her messy collar and hair, turned her head, and took a sinister glance at Jessica.The door opened and four men walked in.The masked woman knew what was what. She would not be hysterical in front of White's minions. Besides, her eyes were quickly tinged with suspicion, as if she was intentionally observing Christian's reaction to see if he recognized his minions…Christian shot a glance at the several incoming people. He was not sure which one was Felton. If he made a mistake now, he would lose.Even so, the anger on his face was already brewing, and the crowd in this room was shocked by his fury.Felton couldn't withstand it, so he begged for mercy first. "White…"Christian quickly fixed his eyes on the speaker.The next second h
