Chapter 168: Are You Scared Of Me Now?
Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Are You Scared Of Me Now?"Lone Wolf, aren’t you supposed to be a top assassin? Why are you still acting like a child? You’re really immature," he roared.
He boldly strolled around, trying to find his enemy. He loosened his tie, wrapped it around his hand, and rolled his neck. He was getting ready for a fight.
"Are you scared of me now? I didn’t think you were such a coward," he added, carefully watching the area around him.
As he neared the stairwell, a bright light suddenly flashed in his eyes. Then, someone began shooting golden threads at him.
Daniel moved fast and dodged the attack. He threw his dagger at the door. Lone Wolf stepped out and caught it.
Lone Wolf laughed darkly. "We meet again, Mr. Wilson."
Daniel saw blood on his clothes. His chest tightened.
"Ha, you’re injured? Where’s Chantelle?" he asked quickly.
"Worried about me, Mr. Wilson?" Lone Wolf looked at his blood-stained shirt and gave a crooked smile.
"I told you before—I never fail an assassination. If I miss it once, I’ll keep trying until I succeed. I live to please my clients. And I’ll make sure you end up in hell. So, are you ready for that, Mr. Wilson?" he said, laughing wildly.
Daniel glared at him. "If you want to kill me, fine. But why drag an innocent woman into this?"
Lone Wolf scoffed. "Innocent? You’ve got to be joking. That woman nearly stabbed me to death."
Daniel’s eyes narrowed. "So, you’re the one who got hurt." Daniel felt relieved. The blood wasn’t Chantelle’s.
Lone Wolf noticed the calm on Daniel’s face and realized he had been tricked.
"Don’t worry. The pretty lady is safe for now," Lone Wolf hissed. "But I can’t promise she’ll still be safe in ten minutes."
"What do you mean?" Daniel asked, eyes quickly sharpened.
"I believe in payback," Lone Wolf replied. "She stabbed me, so I put a bomb on her. Seems fair, right?"
"Are you asking to die, Lone Wolf?" Daniel shouted.
"Calm down. You’ve got ten minutes to find the pretty lady and say goodbye. You can stay here and talk, or go find her and give her a final kiss. It’s up to you..."
Before Lone Wolf could finish, Daniel had already dashed off to
Once it was done, he let out a shaky breath.
The timer now showed eight minutes. Enough time to say goodbye.
Daniel sat beside Chantelle and pulled out a small, round tablet from his pocket. He gently placed it on her forehead.
Once it touched her skin, it gave off a soft scent. A few seconds later, Chantelle slowly woke up.
She opened her eyes, looking confused, and saw Daniel watching her worriedly.
For a moment, she thought she was dreaming.
"Chantelle, wake up!" he called out.
"Daniel? You’re here? You found me..." Chantelle smiled gently, unsure if this was real or not.
"I knew you’d come for me," she said with pride.
Suddenly, she felt someone pinching her cheek.
"Ouch!"
"Chantelle, Chantelle Bently!"
"Yes, that’s me!" Chantelle answered, trying to ignore the pain.
She quickly came to her senses and realized this wasn’t a dream at all.
"Daniel?"
"Yeah, it’s me. I finally found you. There’s a bomb nearby, and we don’t have much time. Can you stand up?"
"Bomb?" Chantelle looked confused but followed Daniel’s instructions. She leaned against the wall and slowly stood up. Her strength was starting to return.
"Yes, but don’t worry. We still have six minutes. I need you to turn around and run out of this building as fast as you can, okay?" Daniel brushed her hair away from her face and gave her a gentle look.
"What are you waiting for? Run!" Chantelle grabbed his arm and wanted to escape away with him.
She was silently cursing him for staying so calm.
Why is he acting sweet when there’s a bomb about to blow off?
Daniel pulled his arm away and stayed where he was.
"I still have something to take care of. You need to go first."
"No way. We’re in this together. What do you need to do? I can help!" Chantelle said firmly and reached for his arm again.
"Chantelle, I can’t leave," he said gently.
Daniel’s calmness made her even more nervous.
