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 couldn't believe she was risking her life for a damn herb.

But he knew if he asked, Tiffany wouldn't hesitate to say it was worth it. She would never think twice about it.

Kenneth couldn't shake the bitter feeling eating at him. His chest felt tight, like there was something stuck in his throat, making him feel like he might cry.

It was like a wave of regret washing over him. Nothing hurt more than having something and feeling it slip right through his fingers.

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!"

Then, his men went straight for the assassins. The air was thick with dust, and the tension was suffocating.

But the assassins were relentless, hounding her like they had a personal vendetta. No matter what, they weren't giving her a

second to breathe.

Tiffany clenched her teeth. A few times, she thought about rushing out, but the bullets were flying all over the place, making it impossible to even peek out.

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.
