The next moment, he put it in the pocket of her coat.“This is yours. I kept it for you overnight, and I’m returning it to you now.”Harmonia frowned but didn't look at him. She couldn't understand why he had changed so much. He knew the reason she wanted to go to Lonal Ridge, so why didn't he stop her? When she was unconscious in the mountains, he could have taken advantage of her, but why did he risk his life to carry her all night and bring her to the hospital for treatment? He should know that helping her would mean betraying Micah, and someone like Micah, who sought revenge for any grievance, would never let him off.“Why?” She finally voiced her doubts.Absalom smiled but didn't answer. Instead, he said calmly, “This isn’t the place to talk. Please trust me now on the account that I’ve saved your life again. I booked a motel near the hospital, so let’s leave this place first.”Harmonia nodded and left the hospital with him.They had to disguise themselves to avoid drawing
He bought another used car, which had the same good performance as well!He then gave the boss some money and asked him to replace the car's glass with bulletproof glass and to make the body look old and worn out, making it appear like a scrapped car.The owner of the used car dealership was completely dumbfounded. His family had been in the car business for three generations, and this was the first time he had heard such a bizarre request from a customer.However, the customer was always right. Since he had bought two cars and paid enough money, the boss agreed to do it. To his surprise, the customer wanted the car ready in just two hours.The boss was dumbfounded again and asked, “Two hours?! Isn't that too rushed?”Absalom handed over several stacks of cash to the boss immediately without any fuss.“Don't worry, it's not rushed at all. Leave it to me!” The boss reassured him after taking the money.After leaving the used car dealership, Absalom headed to a nearby phone shop a
“Get off at the intersection ahead.”The next moment, there was a sudden braking and a turn. The vehicle then came to a stop!He unbuckled his seatbelt, opened the door, and escorted Harmonia into another car parked in the alley. She still had a fever, was confused, and her steps were weak. She didn't know how she ended up sitting in the driver's seat of this car.Absalom stood outside the car, drenched in pouring rain as he smiled faintly at her and said, “You will have to travel to Lonal Ridge alone.”With that said, he handed her a recording pen.He then quickly fastened her seatbelt, closed the door, and got back into the car that was already exposed without hesitation.At that moment, Harmonia finally understood what was going on.He wanted to drive the exposed car, attracting Micah's people, while letting her drive this safe car to leave Blackorn City smoothly.By doing this, he was taking on all the danger himself!Harmonia lowered the car window and looked back. She
“Monia, at this point, I don't want to hide anything from you. I managed to escape from Micah's grasp successfully because Absalom faked my death and got me out. He left the note in a sterile cloth that was sewn into the wound on my abdomen for the second time, and I brought it out.”Hector's confession was like a sudden thunder in the pouring rain, exploding in her ears, leaving her unable to come to her senses for a long time.“Monia, although I don't know why he has undergone such earth-shaking changes, I believe he is sincere this time. However, it's too late.”Hector was once Micah's military advisor, after all. He knew how many people Micah would have brought to Blackorn City.One-on-one, his chances of winning were one hundred percent, but what about one against hundreds? After a series of battles, his physical strength would inevitably be exhausted.Even though Absalom was skilled and intelligent, two fists were no match for four hands in the end.This was a very realisti
“She's too smart.” Mac understood. “Are you worried that this phone call will make her notice something?” Dimas nodded solemnly. There was either success or complete ruin this time. There was life on one side and death on the other with no third option. Once the young lady notices this and once she finds out about this, what reaction would she have when she realized he had left himself with no way out? He didn't dare to think about it. In this world, everything he feared and everything he did not dare to do revolved around her.“Mr. Martinez, I always thought there was nothing you feared in this world. It seems I was wrong.” Mac became increasingly aware of Harmonia's position in Dimas's heart. It was precisely because of this that he had to be on guard. He absolutely could not let Harmonia's unknown whereabouts or the uncertainty of her life and death reach his ears.Dimas opened his photo album, flipping through her photos and the only two photos they had together. One wa
“The situation is dire now, and being missing might not necessarily be a bad thing. Once her safety is confirmed, your brother will withdraw the search for her, and the news is bound to reach Micah. This will only be more dangerous.”Penny nodded in understanding and said, “Don't worry, I won't say anything.”“Thank you,” Hector thanked her.Penny shook her head, sincerely saying, “It's a simple matter. If you're worried that I might blab, I won't call my brother. I'll just send a WhatsApp message every day to report my safety, so you don't need to thank me.”“Please accept this gratitude because my sister's safety is too important to me.”“Is it more important than your own safety?” Penny blurted out without knowing why.Hector nodded without hesitation, “Yes.”Penny was startled, not knowing what to make of it, and she felt uneasy.“You have a really close relationship with your sister…”Hector smiled but didn't respond, returning to the room to continue packing.“Are you l
The man was stunned again, obviously finding it unbelievable. In his understanding, women shouldn't be involved in such chaotic scenes, especially ones with bloodshed where death could occur at any moment.“Go with me? Do you know what I'm going to do? The note is quite clear, isn't it? It instructs me to rush to the royal palace, obey the Fourth Prince, and assist the Fourth Prince.”“Obeying and assisting aren't just simple literal meanings. The true meaning behind it is terrifying. It’s better if a young girl like you doesn’t come along.”Although the man's words contained a hint of disdain, they were indeed coming from a perspective of safety.“I was able to enter Lonal Ridge unscathed with this note. Do you think I'd be afraid?”The man chuckled upon hearing this.He didn’t expect that she would be such a tough nut to crack.“Okay, fine. I'll take you with me. Just don't cause trouble for me.”Harmonia chuckled lightly, “It’s still unclear who will be the one causing troub
Micah didn't have time to think twice and immediately fled, wanting to escape. As the saying goes, where there’s life, there’s hope!“Quick, catch Micah! That kid's trying to run!” When Harris saw Micah preparing to escape, he shouted loudly, pointing not far away.He pulled the trigger several times, but Micah skillfully dodged each time. He was about to get out of the pistol's range. When Harmonia saw the situation turning dire, she grabbed Harris’ pistol decisively, remained calm, aimed at Micah's thigh, and pulled the trigger!Bang—A gunshot! The bullet hit his thigh. Micah's right leg went weak, and he knelt on one knee. He looked ridiculous and comical!Harris looked surprised as he stared at Harmonia. He hadn't expected this young girl to be such a sharpshooter.After all, Micah was almost out of the pistol's range, but he still got hit by the bullet. She was indeed a sharpshooter!“What a pity! What a pity!” Harris lamented as he clenched his fists.“If you weren't that
