?Chapter 868:


    For reasons he couldn’t exin, a mix of dread and apprehension overwhelmed him, as if an inevitable event loomed close.


    However, upon rising to scan the area carefully, Kiaan noticed no visible changes.


    He could only steel himself and focus his attention on the two possible directions from which an intruder might appear.


    Kiaan had already circled the area four times without discovering anything out of ce, assuming that Harlee hadn’t yet tracked down this location.


    He began to suspect he had overestimated her.


    Her reputation, it seemed, was far greater than her actual capabilities.


    Kiaan believed Hale had been captured because of his own foolish infatuation with Harlee, and it had little to do with Harlee’spetence.


    Blinded by his emotions, Hale had been so focused on chasing after Harlee that he neglected everything else.


    After confirming the absence of immediate danger, Kiaan exhaled deeply, the tension in his chest finally easing.


    His initial n had been to coborate with Harlee for a chance to survive.


    But now it seemed wiser to take the billion in cash she had gathered and flee on a boat bound for Uwhor.


    Resolved, Kiaan began dismantling his phone, ensuring no trace of evidence remained.


    Ten minutester, hidden among the dense shrubs, Kiaan stared in shock as Harlee strode confidently through the main gate.

    How had she managed to locate the hideout in under an hour? Even if she had prior knowledge of the kidnappers’ whereabouts, arriving so quickly and with suchposure seemed impossible. Was she unconcerned about Jose and Belinda’s safety? No, that couldn’t be true. If she didn’t care, she wouldn’t havee.


    Did she have an alternate strategy in ce? This thought made Kiaan burrow deeper into his hiding spot, remaining as still as a predator lying in wait. If his side emerged victorious, he would step forward.


    But if Harlee prevailed, he nned to stay concealed until the coast was clear.


    At the gate, a man in ck froze when Harlee appeared. Terror filled his wide eyes as she advanced steadily.


    He was one of the few who had interacted with Harlee before and understood how deadly her skills were.


    Even if every man here fought together, capturing her alive was unlikely.


    The man in ck felt his hands quivering around his weapon, and he couldn’t muster the nerve to point it at Harlee.


    Despite the meticulous nning, he hadn’t foreseen Harlee walking straight in with suchposure. Through her unfeeling, detached stare, he could already foresee the grim oue that awaited both himself and his men.


    The man in ck couldn’t wrap his mind around it. Why was Harlee so bold? They had already taken Jose and Belinda, yet Harlee remained so audacious. What had gone wrong? What had he missed? His mind swirled in confusion, unable to grasp why Harlee was so fearless or how he might salvage the situation.


    Then, a sudden thought struck the man in ck. Jose and Belinda were still in their grasp.
