Chapter 223:

The impact of the door against the front of the car was terrifying.

The loud bang caught the men's attention, who quickly freed Monica and ran away.

The vehicle became wedged in the rubble and Caden jumped out, brandishing a cold pistol and immediately opening fire on the group.

Taken by surprise by the sudden attack, the men scattered in panic.

However, no one was able to escape.

Within a few moments, everyone was on the ground.

Joshua noticed that the men were riddled with needles and realized that they had been hit by tranquilizer darts, not bullets.

He acted quickly, grabbing a knife and pressing it against Alicia's neck.

Caden pointed his gun at Joshua.

The icy wind screamed, but Caden’s stern gaze was even more intimidating than the dark barrel of his gun.

Alicia, now a human shield, stepped in front of Joshua.

The sharp knife rested against his neck, where the slightest movement could prove fatal.

But when she looked at Caden, who had appeared out of nowhere, her previously blank and unfeeling expression turned into a faint smile.

The fear and despair disappeared instantly.

They were replaced by a deep sense of relief.

Caden continued forward, each step deliberate, his intense eyes fixed on Joshua.

“If this knife does any harm to her, I will finish you.

” Joshua was not afraid.

Caden had found them, and not having time to think, he screamed, his eyes red with rage, “Caden, take one more step and I’ll slit
