Chapter 2341

Those subtle expressions were swiftly caught by Justin, causing a faint glimmer in his dark eyes.

Not wanting to waste time debating with Jace, Justin gritted his teeth and turned around to head toward Mount Jaglee.

But before he could take a few steps, a bullet struck the ground right in front of him.

Even so, Justin kept his gaze fixed forward, refusing to stop, until another bullet shot through his right shoulder. Bang!

The intense pain made Justin's tall body tremble uncontrollably. He nearly collapsed, but he forced himself to stay upright.

Luckily, the injury was to his right shoulder this time. After all, his left shoulder could not withstand any more damage. One more injury and he would be completely crippled.

"One more step, and it'll be your left leg next." Jace spoke with a teasing tone, but his eyes were intense and urgent. "Come on, Justin, don't tell me you're trying to end up like your brother, stuck in a wheelchair for the rest of your life."

"If you're going to do it, just get it over with already." Justin's breathing was ragged as he clutched his injured shoulder and kept moving forward. "As long as I'm still breathing, I have to find Bella. She went up the mountain alone on a night like this, with such a fierce storm. Something terrible could happen to her!"

Jace froze in place, staring at Justin's resolute, unwavering figure.
