Just as Yvonne prepared to ignite the car, a pair of headlights suddenly pierced the darkness.


    The bodyguard rushed forward to protect her. "Miss, someone''sing. We need to leave now." Yvonne''s fury zed as fiercely as the fire she intended to set. "Step aside. I''m going to kill her." "Miss, you can''t take the risk and expose yourself. That''s Mr. Sharp''s order," insisted the bodyguards. Yvonne shot a re at Debra and hurled the lighter toward her target.


    In an instant, mes erupted at the front of the vehicle, crackling hungrily as they spread. The bodyguards swiftly dragged Yvonne back into their car and drove away. Debra coughed violently, the thick smoke wing at her lungs. Distantly, she heard the frantic voices of William and Marion.


    "Debra!"


    "Marion! Watch out! There''s a fire ahead!"


    When she finally managed to blink through the smoke, she saw Marion outside, pounding furiously on the ss.


    "Marion..." she croaked, reaching weakly for the door, but it was jammed tight.


    "Leave! Get out of here!" Panic gripped her as she realized the danger they were both in.


    The car might explode at any second.


    "Don''t speak. Inhaling too much smoke will kill you. Just wait for a moment. I''ll get you out."


    Marion''s fists pounded against the ss until, with a deafening crash, it shattered. He reached through the jagged remnants, fumbling for the lock, and yanked the door open with all his might.


    With William''s help, he pulled Debra out of the wreckage. But the mes roared higher, and William''s voice cut through the chaos. "Run!"


    In the blink of an eye, the car erupted in an explosion. Marion instinctively shielded Debra with his body, while William narrowly evaded the st.

    down around her as she turned to Marion, anxiety flooding her features.


    "Why did youe? Do you have any idea how dangerous this was? What if you died?" she cried out, pounding weakly on his shoulder.


    Marion only tightened his grip, terrified that if he had been even a secondte, she would have been lost forever.


    "Don''t be scared. I''m here with you," he murmured, his hand stroking her back in soothing circles.


    Debra winced from the bruises and scrapes all over her body.


    Marion brushed her tears away, determination hardening his features. "I''m taking you away."


    He started to lift her, but William grabbed his arm. "Things are spiraling out of control. If we''re caught, we''re done for. You can''t drag Debra down with you."


    Marion had kept a low profile,


    slipping through the shadows undetected. But once they reached the city center, Drake''s men would be lurking everywhere, ready to pounce. If they were seen, escape would be nearly impossible.


    "No one can stop me. Step aside!" Marion growled, holding Debra close.
