Chapter 1299


    In the pouring rain, Romeo''s henchmen held an umbre over him, while others formed a human


    barrier behind him, blocking Arabe''s line of sight.


    Almost instantly, the bloodcurdling scream of Mr. Elliot reverberated through the air.


    Romeo discarded the bloodstained switchde to the side.


    Carl handed him a disinfectant wipe, and after Romeo cleaned his hands, he tossed that aside as well.


    "You should consider yourself lucky that I only severed tendons in your hand. If any harmes to Ms.


    Be, your whole family will pay the price."


    Mr. Elliot''s entire hand trembled with pain, his nerves screaming in agony that almost led to him


    cking out.


    It was at this moment that he truly witnessed the ruthlessness of Romeo. His gentle, devoted, and


    doting demeanor within the confines of the house was solely reserved for Arabe.


    Outside, he remained as cold-blooded and brutal as ever.


    Romeo nced at his men, who quickly seized Mr. Elliot and forced him to move forward.


    Taking the umbre from his henchman, Romeo approached Arabe, drawing her into his embrace,


    “Move closer. Don''t get wet."


    Upon seeing the man wrapping an arm around Arabe and slowly walking away, Gordon paused for a


    moment before catching up with them.


    In front, Mr. Elliot kept looking back, "Please, don''t harm my family. I will tell you everything I know.


    Please spare therm."


    His family was his weak point.


    But no one responded to him.


    Romeo and Arabe continued forward, their silhouettes perfectly matched, causing Gordon''s gaze to


    darken even further.


    The rain was relentless, keeping people indoors. Seven or eight ck sedans were parked by the


    street, Carl respectfully opened the car door for Arabe.


    "Carl, take him to my uncle''s ce. Let him handle it, Arabe instructed.


    "Yes, Ms. Be."


    As Arabe got into the car, Romeo followed suit. After Carl closed the door behind them, he looked at


    Gordon with a puzzled expression, asking, "Are you with Ms. Be?"


    "Yes." Gordon was nning to hail a cab back home.


    But the man in the car spoke up, "Carl, let him in."


    Carl was surprised. Romeo was actually letting an outsider interrupt his time with Ms. Be.


    Without a second thought, Carl opened the passenger door, gesturing respectfully for Gordon to get in,


    “Please."


    Gordon obliged, getting into the car and looking towards the rearview mirror.


    Romeo, holding Arabe, looked at her hand with concern, "Does it hurt?"


    "This little scratch is nothing,” Arabe shrugged it off,ughing, "If you had been any more forceful just


    now, I would have lost my lead."


    "I know he''s valuable to you, so I spared him. Don''t worry. He won''t die” Romeo reassured, still looking

    at her hand, "Once he''s of no use, he won''t get off easy."


    Gordon felt like he was seeing Romeo for the first time, as ruthless as rumors suggested.


    "I missed you,’ Romeo whispered in her ear, "Did you miss me?"


    "I''ve been busytely” Arabe responded, causing Romeo to feel a pang of disappointment.


    "I haven''t missed you as much as before"


    Her next sentence, however, brought a smile back to Romeo''s face.
