Chapter 244

Athunderous crash split the air as the glass doors of the center were smashed in, shards spraying across the floor.

Without hesitation, ten masked assassins swept inside.

"Damn it, they caught up to us!" Scarlett spat. They had been ambushed along the

way to the slums, where their entire security detail was wiped out.

Only she and Bella survived and managed to escape-or so they thought.

The assassins refused to let them go.

“Bella, I'll hold them off," Scarlett hissed. "You have to get out through the back door."

Bella's face had gone pale. "If I run, you'll definitely be killed. I'm their main target, so they won't harm me. Let me be their hostage."

"Bella, I'm your bodyguard," Scarlett said, planting herself in front of Bella with grim resolve.

"My job is to protect you-so do as I say."

A cold, ragged voice interrupted them.

"No need to argue. This place has no back door-you're not going anywhere. We'll be taking both of you."

A middle-aged man with a scarred face stepped in, laughing cruelly. Unlike the others, he wore no mask, and a murderous aura clung to him.

"Contract Crow?" Scarlett recognized him immediately. He ranked among the top ten hired killers-experts in martial arts, infamous for illegal raids and a bottomless appetite for money.

Their reputation alone sent chills through even the bravest hearts.
