Chapter: 1554

Four men with a shady demeanor stepped out of the villa. Their eyes sparkled when they saw the truck filled with cash. They casually checked a few boxes, nodded to Nancy, and swiftly climbed into the truck.

Everyone was focused on the vehicle, unaware of a man quietly making his way down from upstairs.

As the truck began to move, Nancy smiled in triumph and led Kayla downstairs. “Kayla, don't worry. We've been together for so long. Now that Sean cooperates, I won't hurt you."

She dragged Kayla down the stairs like a rag doll. At some point, Kayla's high heels slipped off, leaving her bare feet scraped and bleeding, creating a trail of blood on the stairs.

Nancy saw it but chose to ignore it as she pulled Kayla downstairs.

"Sean, I'll release your mother once my people are inside. Don't even think about shooting or breaking in; the electric fence has high voltage, and anyone who touches it will die."

She tilted her head and smiled, dressed like a princess but grinning mischievously like a devil. She added, "And inside the villa, there are machine guns and sniper rifles aimed right at you. Don't try anything foolish.”

Kayla's disheveled appearance incited anger in Sean and the others, reddening their eyes.

"Kelvin, go now!"

As the truck rolled through the gates into the villa, capturing everyone's attention, Sean's chilling voice broke the silence.

Nancy was shocked to see a man with silver hair suddenly step out from behind her, quickly pushing her aside and rescuing Kayla from her grasp.

“Everyone, stay sharp and fire!" Nancy quickly regained her composure and ordered. "Shut the gates and block their exit."

The loss of their hostage put them at a disadvantage. When had this intruder slipped in?

Gun barrels peeked from the windows, targeting the figures darting across the courtyard, opening fire. The area resonated with the clatter of gunfire as the gunmen unleashed a barrage from four machine guns.

“Get the truck inside quickly, and have the snipers prepare."

Nancy's expression was stern. How could she feel any remorse? Her initial plan was to kill Kayla after receiving the ransom, plunging the Scott family into despair over their loss.

However, as they were executing the exchange of money and hostage, something unforeseen happened.

The gates, which should have closed as the truck passed, malfunctioned. The truck drove into the villa without hindrance, even as they attempted to block those escaping.

The black-robed men from Sacredice surged through the still-open gates, initiating a fierce rescue and attack.

Norah shut her laptop and stood up, saying, "Timmy, that was impressive."

T relied sheepishly, "Norah, you're the impressive one. I hadn't even started, and you already wrapped things up."

They had managed to jam the gates, keeping them open long enough for Kelvin to escape and allowing the Sacredice team to storm in.

Kelvin, carrying Kayla, moved with surprising speed even under machine gun fire, skillfully navigating past the truck.

Just as he was about to make his exit, a high-caliber sniper bullet whizzed towards his head.
