Chapter 228"What are you looking at? Why did you suddenly stop?" Trevor complained.Monica ignored him, eager to tell Delbert about this matter.After sending the photo to Delbert, she immediately dialed his number.In the coffee shop, Justin restrained his lazy expression, put down his coffee cup, and looked at Harriet seriously."I have no reason to lie to you. Have you forgotten everything? I'm your brother, and we grew up together in Agral City!" he said."I'm sorry, but I've always grown up in Meawood City and have never been to Agral City," Harriet said, beginning to sway.Indeed, Justin had no reason to lie to her about these things.Harriet looked at Justin and blurted out, "Your family name is also Bass, so what's the relationship between you, Henry, and my mother? And why do you all call me Yvonne?""Because you are our little sister!" Justin wanted to say more.Suddenly, he noticed something and shouted, "Watch out!"Countless bullets shot toward the coffee shop.
Chapter 229She 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.A woman's instructions came through his earpiece.He nodded and answered in a cold voice, "Understood, Miss! I 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
Chapter 230The moment the gunshots rang out, Harriet was already prepared.She saw a hospital nearby. Her mother used to be treated there.She quickly dodged the bullets and ran into the hospital.She wanted to get to a safe place and call Delbert so that both she and Justin could be rescued. The black-clad men followed her in, causing chaos in the hospital.Harriet panicked and ran to the elevator, frantically pressing the button.The leader of the black-clad men narrowed his eyes.It seemed that Nora didn't lie to him. Harriet was indeed not a fool.If that was the case, he had to get rid of her.Her presence would pose threats to their boss.He raised his gun and fired several shots, hitting the elevator button.Harriet screamed in alarm and dodged to the side.When she went to press the elevator button again, she found that both elevator buttons were broken and the elevator could not run."Chase!" The leader of the black-clad men ordered, and his subordinates chased
Chapter 231The black-clad men blocking the exit chased after her with guns in their hands.Both sides were closing in on her, trapping Harriet in the middle.Cornered, she wondered what to do.Suddenly, an idea popped into her head.She still had her silver needles.Just as the two groups were about to join hands, Harriet lifted her hand and shot out several silver needles in each direction.Several of the men were hit, falling to the ground, which bought her some time to escape.Harriet ran in another direction toward a safe passage, using all her strength to open the door and flee.Unfortunately, her opponents were well-trained and quick in reaction.Some of them were annoyed by her actions and shot at her.Thanks to her quick reflexes, she didn't let the bullet hit her squarely.But they grazed her limbs, causing her burning pain.She touched her arms and legs, feeling blood.But she didn't have time to worry about these wounds. She turned left and right until she fin
Chapter 232Harriet, who thought she was about to perish, panicked and accidentally touched a certain part of the door lock.With a click, the door opened by itself.Before Harriet could react, she fell into the door.Then the door automatically closed and locked.The bullet was a second too slow, and it was blocked by the heavy gate, sparking a burst of fire.In the conference room of the Carlson Mansion.Delbert was listening to the terms proposed by a business partner, and he occasionally responded.The atmosphere in the room was oppressive, indicating that this was an important meeting.Just then, his phone suddenly rang. Delbert frowned, thinking it was Harriet feeling bored alone on the island and missing him, so he took it out for a look.Unexpectedly, it was a call from Monica.Earlier, before the meeting started, Monica had sent him a photo of Harriet secretly meeting with another man and called to slander Harriet.But he didn't believe it because he knew that the
Chapter 233"The meeting is adjourned! Call Marc and the others immediately. Have them search for Harriet," Delbert ordered."Yes, sir!" Cory responded, getting a picture of the situation.It was likely that Harriet was in trouble.Immediately afterward, Delbert walked away, leaving behind all the executives, shareholders, and business partners.As he reached the door, he suddenly stopped."Tell Marc and the others to eliminate any forces who want to harm Harriet," he ordered again.With that, he drove to the café mentioned by Monica.Anxious, he almost raced there, driving at a speed that seemed to defy gravity.But time seemed to not be on his side, as all the traffic lights were red along the way.Delbert didn't care about that anymore. Anxious about Harriet's safety, he ran the red light.He made sharp turns at every intersection, and what should have been nearly a half-hour drive took him only about ten minutes to arrive.When he arrived there, the café had already bec
Chapter 234Although the people in Imperium never concerned themselves with the affairs of Meawood City, Delbert was still worried.He couldn't let Harriet encounter any danger, so he wouldn't give up on any possible suspects.He had lost her once when they were little, and he would never let anything happen to her again.His eyes flickered as he recalled the past.No matter who was behind the scenes, he would let them pay the price.In the underground warehouse."Speak! Where is the woman you are chasing?" Delbert demanded, looking down at those black-clad men."I don't know! You can kill or torture us as you please!" said the leader indifferently."Alright, since you won't talk!" Delbert said.He was willing to do anything for Harriet's sake.He raised his eyes and smirked at the man."I know that killers like you aren't afraid of death, but I wonder if you're afraid of humiliation. For example, have you been to Happy Harpers?"I heard that once a woman was inside, she w
Chapter 235"Mr. Delbert, I've told you everything! Please don't sell me to Happy Harpers!" pleaded the leader.That would be the greatest insult to an assassin.He would never allow himself to end up in that kind of place.He got up and knelt at Delbert's feet, repeatedly begging for mercy."You want me to spare you? I can," said Delbert.The leader was overjoyed and was about to speak when Delbert suddenly gazed at him."Before you said that, I had considered sparing you. But since you dared to harm my woman, you must be prepared to pay a painful price!" he said."You..." the leader trembled, asking, "What do you want?""What do you think?" Delbert asked back, kicking the leader.A squeal resounded through the warehouse.The leader convulsed a few times and fainted.Delbert slowly retracted his foot and said coldly, "Sell him to Happy Harpers and let him serve customers starting today. I want him to suffer a fate worse than death.""Eh..." One of the subordinates hesitat
