Chapter 456

Tiffany's face twisted with frustration. She had been careless.

Right now, she was just thankful her eyesight was coming back. The blur had cleared, and she could make out a bit of light.

Looking around, she spotted the outline of the box. So, she rolled across the ground, making her way to it.

But as soon as she reached for it, the assassins were right there, closing in like wild dogs. The gunfire that had already been intense got even worse, forcing her to pull back and hide behind another rock. "Tiffany!" Kenneth yelled, his heart in his throat.

He had seen Tiffany risk everything for him, but now, another man was the one making her take that same risk.

Kenneth fought back the jealousy bubbling up inside him, eyes red as he ordered, "Take them down!"

One of the assassins caught on, though, and saw she was going for the box. He fired a few shots at it.

The box got hit twice, the impact making a hole in it and sawdust flying everywhere.
