Chapter 146

Gunfire echoed across the skyline.

The local residents had grown accustomed to such sounds, assuming it was just another film crew shooting at the abandoned building. They had no idea that the scene unfolding inside was more dramatic than any film.

Ten minutes earlier.

Asher had arrived at the building precisely on time.

When he reached the twenty–sixth floor, the sight before him made his blood run cold.

Thalia was covered in blood, her face bruised purple and red. Malfoy had her by the throat, her feet dangling in the air as she struggled to breathe, her face turning crimson from the lack of oxygen.

Beneath her feet was the crumblin

edge of the unfinished building with no railing. If Malfoy released his grip,

Thalia would plummet from the

4th floor.

Even Asher, with all his self–control, couldn’t remain calm at such a sight. His heart contracted painfully, his breath catching in his throat.

Malfoy tightened his grip around Thalia’s neck and, keeping her suspended, turned to look at Asher with a raised eyebrow. “Well, well… look who’s arrived on schedule.”

Asher’s throat constricted, his mouth tasting of blood.

He struggled to keep his voice steady. “Put her down first.”

“Bit worried, are we?” Malfoy’s eyes gleamed with amusement, though his grip remained unchanged.

Seeing the young woman struggling to breathe, her complexion worsening by the second as she verged on asphyxiation, Asher felt as though he were being flayed alive–raw and agonizing.

Asher heard his own hoarse voice. “I’ve come alone as you requested. Let her go.”

Malfoy smiled casually, turning his gaze toward the girl he held by the throat.

Thalia was bloodied, her face turning purple, barely holding on.

He shifted his grip on Thalia’s neck, moved away from the edge, and tossed her onto the floor like discarded rubbish.

“You-” Asher’s forehead veins bulged as he instinctively stepped toward Thalia.

The next moment, a gunshot rang out.
