Chapter 130 The Swift Young Man
Ludwig listened quietly.
Finished
When Jean finished speaking, his expression rxed; he didn’t seem the least bit opposed. “If that’s what you want, Jean, then sure.”
He was surprisingly agreeable. Jean blinked-
Then again, he had always been unusually amodating when it came to her.
He rarely went against her.
Jean patted his arm, her eyes shining. “Just be careful, okay?”
Ludwig gave a proud smirk. “What, you think I can’t handle this<b>?</b><b>” </b>
In the blink of an eye, the boy had already leapt into the opposite side of the forest with Jean in
tow
Bryson stopped in his tracks, stunned as he watched Ludwig suddenly move in the opposite direction at full speed. What is going on?
The others looked just as confused, uncertainty flickering in their eyes. At that moment, Ludwig burst through the trees with Jean andnded in a wide clearing.
Suddenly, a massive shadow fell over them, pressing down with an overwhelming sense of force
Jean instinctively looked up. A huge aircraft loomed directly above them.
The deafening <b>roar </b>flooded her ears, and all she could hear was an overwhelming buzz.
Maybe sensing her difort, Ludwig calmly <b>raised </b>a hand and pressed his fingers to the side of her head.
His fingertips were cold, but the touch was gentle.
The ringing eased immediately.
Jean gave him a grateful look.
But out of nowhere–several sharp bullets ripped through <b>the </b>air, aimed straight for the two of them in the clearing!
The agile boy narrowed his eyes and, like a sh of lightning, twisted and dodged within seconds, narrowly avoiding the lethal shots.
But clearly, whoever was on <b>that </b>ne had no intention of letting them go so easily.

of gunfire with fluid precision.
Jean was shielded in his arms; all she could do was shut her eyes on reflex.
Finished
She didn’t know how much time had passed. The deafening noise and crushing pressure finally seemed to fade. Slowly, Jean opened her eyes.
She blinked in confusion.
Everything around her had changed. Ludwig had brought her beneath a thick, towering tree.
They were no longer under the open sky where the ne had hovered overhead. In its ce was a forest of ancient tree
their heavy branches swaying low around them.
“Where are we?”
Jean pressed her lips together, asking without thinking.
Beside her, Ludwig answered inly, “A temporary safe spot.”
Then his eyes curved slightly, half–smirking. “We’ve done enough acting like bait. We’re not actually going to let ourselves get shot up.”
Jean nodded, her eyes reflecting her agreement.
Exactly. All she’d wanted was to use Ludwig’s skills to draw the enemy away and buy Dominic some time to escape. That didn’t mean they were supposed to be sacrificial pawns.
The situation just now had been incredibly dangerous. If it had been anyone else besides Ludwig, they’d already be dead thanks to the people on that ne.
The fact that Ludwig hadsted this long–it was impressive.
“Let’s keep moving. We need to get out of this forest first.”
<b>Just </b>then, Ludwig’s clear voice pulled Jean back to the moment.
She nodded absently.
Ludwig led the way up ahead, and she followed behind at an even pace.
Suddenly–heavy footsteps echoed in the distance, growing louder with every passing second.
