Before she could make out the identity of the black figure, Winnie saw the black muzzle of a gun pointing right at her head.

However, she reacted swiftly. With one kick, she booted the gun toward the distance.

As the gun fell, the man’s face was revealed in front of Winnie.

Upon seeing that familiar face, she couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.

“Zyon, everyone in the entire Fairchild residence is looking for you. I didn’t expect you to come on your own.”

Having her eyes fixed unwaveringly on Zyon, Winnie tugged at the necklace on her neck surreptitiously.

This necklace of hers was a customized weapon. It wouldn’t be a problem for her to bind a pair of hands with the necklace.

But it was obvious that Zyon came prepared. This time, he not only had a gun but also a knife.

After losing his gun, he pointed the knife at her.

He kept circling around her slowly, trying to find a position that would favor his attack.

Gritting his teeth, he cursed in a low voice, “You d*mned woman, I didn’t want to lay a finger on you at first. Who knew that you would come to me yourself?”

At that moment, Zyon was so full of himself, but Winnie paid no attention to him.

She narrowed her eyes, predicting his next move and the possible countermeasures she might take.

When Zyon saw that she didn’t speak, he quietly took two steps back.

He continued to retreat as he uttered, “I had no intention to hurt you, but you’re blocking my way now. I have no other choice but to take action. Winnie, get out of my way. If you don’t want to die, stop blocking me. As long as I can leave this place, you’ll be safe.”

Winnie tightened her grip on her necklace, her lips curling faintly.

“Don’t you know that you are a wanted criminal who is currently on a bounty? If I can catch you, I can go to the police station to collect the bounty, and maybe I can get a congratulatory banner for being a good citizen. How could I not participate in such an honorable thing? It’s unlikely for me to let you go.”

“What the f*ck is wrong with you?” Zyon almost chuckled out of great anger, poking his knife in Winnie’s direction. “Are you short of tens of thousands? If you really need money, I can give you one million, but you have to send me out!”

“One million?” A cold smile was plastered on her face. “Do you think I’m a beggar? I might think about it if you give me ten billion, but I will only think about it. Besides, I’m afraid you can’t even afford to pay one hundred now. Am I right?”

“Shut the f*ck up!” Winnie was right; Zyon really couldn’t fork out a hundred now. And that’s because of who? It’s all because of this d*mned woman in front of me now!

When that thought crossed his mind, Zyon’s facial expression gradually became vicious. “You d*mned woman, if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have become what I am today! Go to h*ll!”

After shouting those words, he charged straight toward Winnie with the knife in his hand.

Having anticipated that he would attack in such a manner, Winnie grasped his hand that was holding the knife using both of her hands in the blink of an eye.

After subduing him, she exerted all her strength to jerk Zyon’s wrist to the side violently.

With that, his wrist was almost sprained, and the knife naturally fell to the ground.

Immediately afterward, she kneed him hard, causing him to bend over in pain.

While she was at that, she pinned him to the ground with her knee pressed against his back. She had him taken care of swiftly, but when she was about to tie him up, his hand suddenly broke free.

The knife was lying right at the side, so it was clear as day that he wanted to reach for that weapon.

There was no way Winnie would give him the chance to do that, so she took the knife first before he did.

However, what she didn’t know was that it was just Zyon’s feint.
