Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 325

Xander spoke something into his walkie-talkie, and immediately, there was a loud 'bang.'

The glass shattered on cue. The entire Mist Bay erupted into a cacophony of gunfire.

Ronald, seething with anger, drew his gun in one swift motion, leveling it directly at Xander, who had Stella slung over his arm like a rag doll.

A dangerous glint flickered in Ronald's eyes, his calm exterior barely masking the storm of fury roiling beneath.

Xander's smug grin widened as he noticed the veins bulging on Ronald's clenched hand. "What's the matter? Forget that your old man promised her to me? I'm just here to collect my fiancée. What's wrong with that?" "Let her go," Ronald gritted out, each word a testament to his anger.
