Chapter: 1515
Alice yelled, “Are you insane? Rose wants you dead. Do you get that? She wants you dead!"

Norah's expression remained impassive. "Go back with you? For what? I prefer to kill you right here and now."

One of Adair's men suggested, "Boss, there's no point in arguing with Rose. Let's just tie her up and take her with us."

Adair responded with a sinister chuckle, "Yes. A big reward for anyone who captures Rose.”

Hearing this, all the henchmen became energized, clasping their weapons and advancing aggressively.

"Never mind about Night Cat. If she continues to spout insults, feel free to kill her," Adair said casually before raising his gun to aim at Alice, who was skillfully dodging around among the twenty or so henchmen.

He had always despised Night Cat, always whispering bad things about him to Rose. If he hadn't needed her to track down Rose, he would have eliminated her a long time ago.

He sneered, “Underestimating your opponents is a beginner's error, Rose. I trained you, so I know all your weak spots. Just surrender; don't resist pointlessly."

Rose was undoubtedly a tough opponent, but these henchmen were his trainees. The two women stood no chance against such a large group.

Norah and Alice shared a look, ignoring Adair's rants. They took cover behind the car, using it as a shield. Although Adair claimed he wanted Rose alive, the intensity of the gunfire suggested otherwise. Norah and Alice had to stay alert.

Alice suddenly stood, shot one of the henchmen dead, and then quickly squatted down.

She huffed, “Damn! They're hitting us with everything they've got. Norah, are you sure they're trying to capture you and not kill you?"

"No matter their intentions, they all end the same way: dead!" Norah snorted.

Alice moved to a new position and nodded. "You're right. I've called our guys. There is no way we could possibly overcome so many!"

The opponents were trained mercenaries. If their numbers had been smaller, perhaps the two women might have stood a chance. But with nearly twenty of Adair's men, Alice felt a pang of anxiety. They were outmatched.

"I've called for backup. They should arrive any moment now," Alice told Norah.

Norah occasionally tossed out a few smoke bombs, causing some of the henchmen to inhale the smoke and collapse.

Ten minutes later, about ten henchmen were still standing.

Alice pulled out her phone to check. “Odd, why haven't they arrived yet?"

They had dared to come here because they expected backup.

Norah asked, "Are you certain they were following you?"

"Absolutely! They were right behind me. They should've been here by now; it's been ten minutes. Oh no, could something have happened to them?"

Adair lowered his weapon after aiming for a while. Since the opponents were using the car for cover, he was cautious about not shooting his own men by mistake. Overhearing their conversation, he growled with laughter. "Waiting for your backup? Forget it. My men have taken care of them."

When she heard this, tears started to form in Alice's eyes. The reinforcements she had called were her reliable comrades from the Breaker!
