Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 154 Eric, Watch Out

Before I could say another word, Blake lunged forward.

I didn't even have time to explain the situation to Eric before he shoved me aside. The next second, he stepped up, locking into a fierce struggle with Blake.

I watched their clashing silhouettes, my instincts screaming at me to jump in and help.

Eric was tall and well-built, never one to slack off on training. Physically, he had the upper hand and could overpower Blake without much effort.

But Blake was desperate. To keep his identity from being exposed, he was fighting with reckless abandon, throwing everything he had into this struggle.

Relief surged through me. The police were getting closer.

Within moments, officers flooded the building, securing all possible exits.

"You're surrounded! Surrender now and don't make this any harder on yourself!"

The officers' voices rang from every direction.

Even though Blake's face was hidden behind his mask, I could feel the wave of despair radiating off him. And then, he snapped.
