Anthony's face was etched with concern as he stood at a distance from the police officers. He spoke in a deep, urgent tone, "Captain Stacy, we cannot allow Walter to hold Mariel hostage and walk away. I'm a doctor, and I can see that Mariel's neck wound is severe. If she is not treated, her life is in immediate danger."

Captain Stacy's pupils contracted slightly as he heard Anthony's words. His expression became serious and determined as he relayed into the intercom, "The hostage-takers are attempting to escape. The hostage is critically wounded and requires immediate medical attention. Snipers, prepare to fire!"

When Walter saw this, he was about to make his way to the helicopter.

Suddenly, a shot rang out through the forest, startling the countless birds in the

area.

Anthony saw Walter fall slowly. As Walter crumpled to the ground, a crimson stain blossoming between his eyebrows, time seemed to slow down.

At the same time, countless well-armed police officers rushed from the surrounding area, quickly taking control of the confused gang members who had yet to react.

Anthony took a step forward and ran toward Mariel.

In the dim light, Mariel locked eyes with Anthony as the man ran toward her, his figure growing larger and larger in her heart.

As Anthony reached her, Mariel's lips twitched slightly. She was grateful that he had survived.

As soon as Mariel's nerves calmed down, his whole body seemed to lose all strength. He fell straight towards Anthony.
