Coming from an assassin background, he was trained to be a murderer. In his eyes, Alyssa’s life was nothing
Betty’s eyes glimmered. She laughed loudly and said, “Today shall be her death anniversary if you dare to take her life!”
Alyssa and Sean waited for Nina at a park on the west side of Solana City. There was no one around.
Given her current status and fame, Alyssa would attract unwanted attention if she met Nina in crowded. public areas, which would only bring trouble for the latter.
Sean checked his watch a few times nervously. He muttered, “Why isn’t she here yet? Did she run into trouble?”
Alyssa frowned in concern.
Sean questioned, “Ms. Alyssa, did Nina ask you to meet up because she got hold of some important clues against Sophia?”
“We’ll know when she arrives.”
Soon, they heard urgent footsteps nearing them. Nina sprinted to them, sweaty and pale. She exclaimed.”
Ms. Alyssa, run! Someone has been following me, and they’re here now. Run now!”
Alyssa quickly held the limp and scared Nina in her arms. She fixed an intense gaze on Nina and comforted the latter calmly. “Don’t worry. As long as you’re with me, I won’t let anyone hurt you.
When Nina had been speaking, Alyssa and Sean had heard heavy footsteps approaching.
Sean warily shielded Alyssa and Nina behind him, clenching his fists as the muscles beneath his suit tightened.
Nina was in shock, but Alyssa calmly fixed her gaze on the three men in black in front of them as she tightened her hold on Nina.
She swiftly examined the leader, Jeffrey, and immediately sensed that he was a tough nut based on her years of experience.
Sean gritted his teeth and asked, “Who are you?”
Jeffrey tilted his head and looked past Sean to stare at Alyssa. He said flatly. “You must be Ms. Alyssa.”
“I am,” she replied firmly
“You’re indeed a beauty, as the rumors say,” Jeffrey remarked, flashing her an ugly smile.
“What a pity”
Alyssa clenched her jaw as she trembled in rage at his audacity. She growled, “Are you working for Sophia
Kirkman? Did she send you here to kill me?”
“Ms. Alyssa, you could have lived a comfortable life, but you had to get into trouble and poke your nose. into others’ business. It’s only fair that you take responsibility for your actions”
“Responsibility?” Alyssa guffawed fearlessly.
“Try laying a finger on me. You better pray you kill me today because if I survive, I’ll make sure you and your men die a nasty death.”
Jeffrey smiled, unfazed, recalling how those who had issued similar threats to him had all perished.
Sean rolled his fists and urged Alyssa to leave. “Ms. Alyssa, I’ll hold the fort. Run with Nina!”
“Nina, leave,” Alyssa instructed, shoving her away.
Then, she turned to Sean with determination. “I’ll back you up. You can’t fight three men alone.”
“Ms. Alyssa…” As Sean exchanged glances with Alyssa, he felt a warm current surge through his body.
He was destined to be an important work partner for Alyssa in this life. They would never be anything more than that. He might marry someone and start a family one day, but no one could replace Alyssa.
What had once been romantic love for Alyssa had transformed into unwavering loyalty.
Meanwhile, Nina was reluctant to escape and leave them behind, but she knew her weak physique would only be a burden.
Nodding tearfully at Alyssa, Nina was about to leave when two men surrounded her, cutting off her escape. The trio found themselves cornered
There was danger in the air. They might not be as lucky this time.
Jeffrey cracked his neck, never once shifting his gaze from Alyssa “Let’s not waste time. Get the job done, but leave Ms. Alyssa for me I will get rid of her with my own hands as a show of respect.”
A black Lamborghini drove over and parked by the desolate road.
Jeremy emerged and cast a heavy glance at the shadowy park. He cautiously approached the park, the chilly wind stinging his face. An ominous feeling accompanied the silence
He and Alyssa shared a telepathic bond, perhaps due to his constant thoughts of Alyssa or the numerous life¨Cor¨Cdeath situations they had faced together:
Jeremy’s phone rang at that moment. The caller ID was unknown. He recalled that he had asked Xavier to share his personal phone number with Nina just in case of an emergency.
He rarely received any calls on his personal phone, which meant that the caller must be Nina.
Bracing for what he sensed might be bad news, he swiftly answered, “Hello?”
“Mr. Walsh, save Ms. Alyssa. Save her! We’re¨CAh- Nina abruptly dropped her phone as she screamed.
Holding his breath, he stared at the dark screen as his heart pounded wildly.
Alyssa’s name echoed urgently in his mind. With beads of sweat forming on his forehead, he raced. toward the park while calling Xavier.
He said urgently, “Something’s happened to Alyssa. Send backup my way right now.”
The sounds of a scuffle rang through the park as Sean expended every ounce of energy to fend off the attackers, desperately delivering punches and kicks
Despite his swift moves. Sean found himself overpowered by a group of men armed with knives. Soon, he was pinned down after ten grueling rounds of fighting.
By this point, he had suffered deep, bloody cuts to his left arm and right legs. His clean suit was in tatters, and his white shirt was blood¨Cstained. He looked pitiful and disheveled.
However, he held on and endured the pain due to his strong conviction to protect Alyssa.
Jeffrey lost his patience with Sean. He grumbled, “He’s surely a difficult one.” With a swift motion, he drove a knife into Sean’s left shoulder and twisted it mercilessly
Sean grabbed Jeffrey’s hand that was holding the knife as he grimaced and wailed from the excruciating. pain.
He felt as though his flesh and bones were crushed, and he wondered if he would lose his left arm for good.
Jeffrey whispered in his ear, “It’s troublesome to kill you off because we can’t be bothered to dispose of your corpse. Otherwise, I’d stab you in the stomach and cut through all your intestines.”
After that, he kicked Sean, making the latter land hard on the ground.
Seething with anger, Alyssa snapped the arm of one of the black¨Cclad attackers.
Lying on the ground in a pool of blood, Sean stared at Alyssa through tears of guilt. He didn’t fear death, but the thought of leaving Alyssa unprotected haunted him.
Enraged, Alyssa seized a knife from her opponent and avenged Sean by driving it into the attacker’s left shoulder.
Jeffrey looked amused as he observed Alyssa’s moves. Unlike other young ladies from prominent families, she displayed not only courage and strategy but also remarkable combat skills, just like a man.
Had Alyssa not come after Sophia, Jeffrey would have spared a talented beauty like her.
After defeating an attacker, Alyssa rushed to Sean’s side. Yet a bad feeling gripped her as she sensed someone approaching from behind.
Sean summoned the last of his energy to warn her, “Ms. Alyssa, look out!”
His heart nearly stopped with fear,
Behind her, someone had raised a dagger, ready to strike and take her life like a Grim Reaper.
“Ms. Alyssa!” Turning white, Nina screamed and fear.
Alyssa was overwhelmed by fear, and her eyes wavered as she surrendered to fate.
At that moment, all her senses shut down. Scenes from her life flashed across her eyes, and they were all memories of Jeremy.
She recalled their memorable first encounter 13 years ago, their days on the Luminara battlefields, their marriage, divorce, and holding on to each other amid a landslide.
She took a deep breath, and tears streamed down her face. People always say that one faced their real self before dying
