And in the midst of their turned disbelief, Evidne’s eyes hoidened, a bullet loaded, and <b>she </b>fired three <b>shots </b><b>at </b>Ward
Bang, bang bang!
Didn’t hit him? She’d try again!
Bang bang bang, bang!
Right now Evache was seeing red, taking aim <b>at </b>Ward and firing relentlessly!
The recoil from a Desert Eagle was a lot for a girl to handle, but <b>Evada </b>had the gunst her movements professional, demonstrating her stansive training
Unfortunately, her aim was off and not a single bullet found its target.
Ward was like a badger, <b>darting </b>through the jungle with an agility that <b>was </b><b>almost </b>cere!
“Elvis! Can you fly <b>a </b>little lower?! It’s still too <b>far </b>Evadia shouted, her brow furrowed in Inistration, to Elvis who was piloting the ne
Thready flying as low as I port Any lower and we’ll bending in the din
Elvis was pushing the ne to its limits, the continuous sound of gunfire making him break out into a cold sweet, his heart pounding like it was about to leap out <b>of </b>his chest, Evadel Are you serious? Who told you to show yourself? Get back here!
“No! want them to know what happens when they mess with my man!” Evade’s eyes were glowing crimson with cage as she fired another shot, hitting

Thaddeus eyes were narrowed his pace following her every move, his entire b*dy on high alert, his blood rushing in his wins,
He <b>was </b>both captivated by her courage and world for her safety. He hated that he was too far to protect her, his fingers tingling with diety, his heart tightening in fearl
“Damn! I shouldn’t have listened to <b>you </b>and brought you here! This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever done in my liter Elvis was filled with regret, his insides churning on the verge of tears.
With no other choice, he changed direction, preparing to forcibly take his sister sway To him, nothing was more important than his per’s salty!
However, Evache wasn’t about to give Him that chance. Seeing an opportunity she let go of thedder and leaped

<b>Just </b>like when Thaddeus had fought off the terrorists to protect her in the battlefield of Zenithia, carving a path for har with his bloodied de.
Now<b>, </b>she wanted to protect him with the same sodesaness, never luming his side
In that moment Evadna’s breath hitched in her chest, her eyes blurry, as if she had just woken from a dream
Actualy Thaddeus never owed her anything.
Thirteen years ago, he had saved her young file. On the battlefield of Zenithia, he had helped escape from danger.
Although she had also tried her best to bring him back to camp, ithout him, she wouldn’t how the slightest chance of <b>survival </b>
Her the years‘ failed marriage <b>suddenly </b>seemed so insignificant in the face of life and death.

As her thoughts swirled her b*dy falling like a shooting star, was <b>about </b>to hit the ground
“Evadnel” Thaddeus<b>‘ </b>heart pounded in fear!
At this moment, he forgot about the excruciating pain from his wounds, and without a second thought, he ran forward <b>opening </b>his arma and catching the woman he loved
The gunshot wound on his left shoulder was to open again as he caught Evadne, <b>his </b>ck shirt soaked <b>with </b><b>blood</b><b>, </b>but he didnt feel any pain, instead, he felt relieved and a small smile crept onto his <b>face</b>.
He remembered when he <b>was </b><b>a </b>kid, whenever <b>he </b>got hurt or had to <b>get </b><b>a </b>shot at the hospital his mom would <b>give </b><b>him </b>a ce of candy and eating the candy made the <b>pain </b>
go away.
Right now Evade was his candy Holding her <b>he </b>could endure anything
Evadno, held in the man’s arms smelled the strong scent of blood on <b>him</b>, heard his heavy strained breathing, and her heart ached Uncontrobly, hot tears spilled onto his heaving chest
“Liar Fool! Why did youe alone! You could have died” She sobbed, pounding him on <b>the </b>chest, her <b>b*dy </b>trembling.
Thaddeus held her as if she was the most precious thing in the world<b>, </b>his hand gently stroking her n*eck, <b>his </b>smile filed with indulgence<b>, </b>“But I was afaid you’d follow me. I
“Aren’t you afraid that I worry about you? Exache asked, gripping his shirt, <b>her </b>voice choked with <b>tears</b>.
<b>Thaddeus </b>was taken aback, a strong current of shock running through his heart, his eyes weling up with tears. He had never considered that belone, because he knew he
But now was not the time for sentiments. In the next second, Thaddeus stood in front of one, picked up a machine gun, and wiped out the <b>assassins </b>in front of him
And Evade <b>was </b>not to be outdone, standing back to back with him, she fred <b>her </b><b>gun </b>and took out the assassins behind them!
In a daze, Thaddeus felt a jolt in his heart, a familiar name fasting through his mind–Palomal
Back in Zet, he had lought alongside a girl in a white coat to break out of their encirclement
They badn’t seen each other since, but Thaddeus never forgot her, considering her a friend for life.
He though he <b>would </b>never have the chance to see Paloma again, but why did he feel that Evade was so smarto Paloma, the woman who saved his life?
“Word is getting away<b>! </b>Let’s go aher him!”
Seeing Ward running into the seemingly endless darkness of the jungle, Evadne shouted and anim
Tvadnel Don’t run off; it’s dongesus<b>! </b>
Just as Thaddeus was about to follow her, his vision blurred, his tall b*dy swaying, almost copsing!
Right now, he felt a chill spreading through his b*dy, his b*dy cold barely having any strongth leh. He gritted his teeth, using his incredible determination to follow Evde, Irving a trail of bright red blood behind him, seeping deep into the earth.
The terrain of Star Ind wasplex, with dense forests that could easily make people lose their way.
Evade’s delicate skin was streaked with blood from the brombles, but she paid it no mind, her sole focus on capturing <b>Ward </b>
Suddenly her foot triggered something hidden on the ground her heart clenched, and she swiftly acted, har b*dy agilely springing away!

“Evadne! Thaddeus?
“<b>Evachel </b>Elvis is here! Evadhol?
“Thad! I’m here!” At that time, Cassius, this and Jareth <b>finally </b>arrived.
Cassius fed two shots, one shattering Ward’s kneecap, the other hitting his am, causing him to drop his crossbow
Even so, Ward won’t ready to give up yet he started to crawl towards his weapon, intending to fight back.
Elvis was <b>quick</b>. He stepped on Wade hand, twisting his heel.

Evape clung to Thaddeus’s hand as they boarded the helicopter. Her face was tear–streaked and her eyes bloodshot from crying her grieved sobbing dabused her broth extremely
Usher’s armed, Thaddeus had been shot in the left shoulder At that time, he was already losing blood profusely but he stood firm in front of the thugs, refusing to
show any signs of weakness. Even when she jumped from the helicopter, he caught her in his arms, ready to shed hisst drop of blood to protect her.
<b>Why </b>was she so stubbom, so willful? Thaddeus was one of a kind. Why couldn’t she <b>value </b>him?
“Evadne”
Cassius and this stood behind her, watching her <b>cry </b>inconsbly, their hearts aching with sympathy
Jareth was also full of worry. Usually he was the life of the party, but now he could not even crack a smile. His fats were tightly clenched, his heart pounding with fear
After Thaddeus was loaded onto the helicopter, Jarth personally escorted him, leaving Star ind before the others to seek the best medical care in the capital of Country T
Evadne covered herce with her hands, trying to suppress her sobs, but tears still sl*pped through her fingers.
