Chapter 639 A Close Call

Many soldiers were already standing guard around Jade Dragon Grand Hotel. Right after bullets were fired, the soldiers knew that someone was attempting to assassinate Balthazar, so they immediately joined the fray.

Macy and her Phoenix Vanguard were shocked to see the flashes of gunfire in the skyscraper not far away.

“Phoenix Vanguard! Come with me! We’re killing these secret agents!” Macy ordered. She led the Phoenix Vanguard and charged toward the building.

“Lord Caspian, someone is attempting to assassinate the King!” Laina reported.

Caspian had been bleary from sleep, but he was wide awake immediately after hearing that.
