Powerless


    The child’s cry startled me, causing my ears to perk up as I told As, "Listen, it’s Ava!"


    We strained our ears to listen for her amid the helicopters above us.


    "It must be Ava!"


    I took advantage of As’s brief distraction and leaped out of the car.


    The wind from the helicopters made it difficult for me to stand steadily.


    As held me firmly from behind and said, "Get back in the car and listen to me! They''re searching for


    her!"


    "Let me go! I can hear her crying!"


    I struggled and pushed against As.


    Ava''s cries were unbearable, and I knew she was nearby.


    Suddenly, one of the aides in the car ran over to inform As, "They’re on the bridge!"


    As and I were shocked.


    A momentter, As caught me and brought me back into the car, sternly ordering the driver, "Let’s


    go!"


    The driver sped toward the bridge, and we soon saw Dn’s group forming a blockade.


    Our car screeched to a halt before them, and I got out to look ahead.


    Those who were initially facing the car turned backward.


    They initially facing the car turned backward.


    They had been checking vehiclesing onto the bridge.


    Shockingly, the target appeared, causing everyone to be on Shockingly, the target appeared, causing


    everyone to be on high alert.


    My eyes widened in shock when ! looked at the bridge deck.


    It was a terrifying sight.


    A tall and burly man held a gun while extending his other hand over the bridge railing.


    He held onto Ava as she dangled like a rag doll outside the bridge.


    She cried and called for me incessantly.


    Beneath her was a seemingly bottomless abyss, and the man could let go at any moment.


    I cried mournfully, "Ava!"


    I escaped As’s grasp and rushed toward the bridge.I recognized the man.


    He was the one with the snake tattoo at the hospital that day.He looked at the people who cornered


    him at the bridge andughed maniacally.


    Gradually, he moved toward the middle of the bridge.


    As caught me again and pulled me back into his arms, trying to stop me.


    Still, I couldn’t hear anything he said.


    After all, my daughter was in danger.I couldn''t bear to think what would happen to Ava since the burly


    man could let her go at any moment.I just wanted to run over and snatch Ava away from I just wanted


    to run over and snatch Ava away from him.I struggled and looked at the man, slowly retreating.I yelled,


    "Put her down! As, save Ava, please!"


    "Mommy! No, don''t...I want my mommy!"


    Ava''s cries seemed to drown out the helicopters’ buzzing.


    She struggled to escape as I shouted, "Don’t move, Ava! Don''t be afraid! Mommy''s here!"


    I feared her struggles would cause her to fall.


    However, no one dared to act rashly or fire their guns.


    They could only helplessly watch as the man retreated.


    The man sneered, his words unclear due to the helicopters.


    However, I knew he was taunting us from his smug expression.


    Fearing for my daughter''s life, I struggled like a mad woman to break free from As.

    After all, I couldn''t just watch my daughter disappear.


    As pushed me toward Dn and shouted, "Watch her closely!"


    Though Dn held me tightly, he shouted at As, "Mr.As! A momentter, I saw the determination


    in As''s eyes as he crossed the barricade, advancing toward the man without hesitation.
