<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Before Lorenzo could exin himself, he heard Alexia let out a short. She raised her chin and said, “Why would I want to keep a bunch of disobedient idiots like you people? Get lost! Don’t follow me around.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">With that said, she strode away.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Lorenzo suppressed the menace within him.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He thought, ‘If it weren’t for the fact that we have yet to find the Treasure Box and can’t alert anyone, I’d definitely cut off Alexia’s tongue.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Looking at the situation, one of the subordinates asked, “Lorenzo, she wants to chase us away. What should we do?”</font></font>Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“That’s even better,” Lorenzo said.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He immediately brought his men to Romeo’s courtyard and told the butler that they had been driven away by Alexia.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Their excuse was reasonable, and their acting was convincing. The butler did not suspect anything at all. After all, the frequency of Alexia kicking out her bodyguards was surprisingly high in the past.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The butler said, “Let’s have this arrangement. It happens that the manor has been short of stafftely. You people can stay. You don’t have to follow Miss Harper anymore, Just take charge of patrolling the manor.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Gotit,” Lorenzo agreed respectfully and nodded.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He thought, ‘Just when we are faced with a problem, the solutiones up at the right time. This arrangement is exactly what we want.‘</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">There were a few new faces in the manor, but Romeo and his wife did not care at all. These minor matters had always been handled by the butler, and they had never had the energy to ask about such trivial matters.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">It could only be said that everything fell into ce coincidentally.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The butler thought that they were bodyguards that Alexia had recruited but did not want, so he made them stay to guard the manor. Meanwhile, Alexia thought that everything was arranged by the butler.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">This coincidence perfectly allowed Lorenzo to search the manor for the Treasure Box without any obstacles.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">In the vige that was shrouded in a drizzle, Tiffany was led out by June from the house where they had stayed.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The malfunction of the helicopter had been fixed. They got up early in the morning and said goodbye.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Before leaving, Tiffany thanked the kind elderly couple and left them a sum of money. Then, she set off for the Azure Sea Royal Family’s ce again.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">However, just as they got into the helicopter and before they could take off, gunshots could be heard.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Miss Kelley, watch out!” June said, reacting quickly and throwing Tiffany to the ground.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">At the same time, a bullet whizzed over their heads and embedded itself in the helicopter’s door with a bang.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“There’s danger. Protect Miss Kelley!”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">June shouted at the subordinates behind her. Then, she jumped off the helicopter, wanting to fight back. But the opponents numbered over a dozen, and they were all armed.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She thought, ‘We’ve got nothing. How are we supposed to fight?</font></font>
Tiffany tilted her head and listened to the footsteps in the drizzle. She counted silently in her mind. “There seem to be twelve people, she thought.
She then extended her hand and said, “Where’s my bow and arrows?”
The subordinate beside her immediately took out her bow and arrows from the luggage that was brought along and reminded, “Miss Kelley, stay put on the helicopter. We’ll deal with these people.”
Several subordinates jumped off the helicopter from the rear part of it one after another.
But the gunshots grew increasingly loud.
Tiffany nocked an arrow and drew the bow, her movements smooth and skilled.
The moment the gunshot sounded, the arrow in her hand flew out as well.
The precision was unparalleled.
Those people’s target was her in the first ce, so they surrounded the helicopter.
Tiffany fired another arrow, and it happened to pierce the thigh of one of the subordinates. A scream of pain and increasingly intense gunshots followed. June knew that the situation was bad. She immediately pulled Tiffany down and said, “Miss Kelley, we have to retreat.”
“No way,” Tiffany said. “With the terrain here, we’ll be live targets the moment we leave the helicopter. Get everyone on the helicopter and take off immediately.”
“But there’s a risk of crashing if we take off.”
“That’s better than getting shot and ending up with holes all over our body.”
Seeing the determination in Tiffany’s eyes, June had no choice but to nod.
The group returned to the helicopter again. A gust of wind blew and the helicopter slowly took off.
The leader of the hitmen immediately shouted, “Shoot them down!”
Bang! Bang! The gunshots became even more intense.
The nearby vige was also rmed.
Keh had just woken up when he heard Odin running in hurriedly. “Mr. Harper, bad news,” he said. “Miss Kelley was attacked outside the vige. Their helicopter… has crashed into the valley.”
Keh was stunned. “What? Who are those people?”
“I don’t know.”
“Chase after them. We must find Tiffany before those people do
Keh hurriedly put on his shoes and rushed toward the valley with his subordinates.
It was a case of something looking closer than it actually was. The valley looked close, but it was very far away. Moreover, trees were densely packed. It was impossible to determine where Tiffany’s helicopter had crashed.
Keh thought, ‘Given the situation, it’s going to take forever to find her. What’s more, there’s that group of unknown hitmen secretly tracking Tiffany’s whereabouts. If they get there first, she’ll be in danger.
He was sweating profusely, end his heart was beating wildly.
“Odin, take some people to search over there. The rest of you, go over there. The remaining onese with me. Inform me immediately if there’s any news”
“Got it.”
The group split into three teams, each heading in a different direction to search.
In the stream within the valley, Tiffany was badly choked by the water. Fortunately, she grabbed onto a piece of driftwood and used it to float to the stoneden shore.
The helicopter was not flying high in the first ce. So, although the crash was dangerous, everyone fell into the stream in one piece.
But the current was too rapid. Tiffany was separated from everyone else.
She was drenched, and she was shivering from the cold.
She could not see anything clearly and did not know if there were wild beasts or other dangers nearby. She could only listen warily to the sounds around her, her expression tense.
Fortunately, there was nothing unusual other than the sound of the wind and the natural rustling of the trees
Tiffany heaved a sigh of relief and shouted to the surroundings, June? June?”
Those who were chasing her might be nearby, so she did not dare to shout too loudly to avoid drawing their attention. Tiffany lowered her head and found a stick on the ground to use as her blind cane. Then, she walked back along the stream
When the helicopter crashed, she was the only one who fell into the rapids. She was swept downstream by the water,pletely losing her sense of direction.
Now, she did not know if she was walking in the right direction or the opposite direction.
Tiffany held the stick that acted as a blind cane and moved forward.
In the nearby jungle, Keh was looking for Tiffany everywhere, but he did not find her. Instead, he encountered those hitmen first.
“Who are you people?” he asked.
His face darkened, but those hitmen looked as though they did not want to be enemies with him. They merely said, “We only have one target. Mr. Harper, you had better not get in our way.”
“In that case, I can’t let you create trouble like nobody’s business.
Keh raised his hand, and his subordinates behind him rushed forward.
He thought, ‘They have guns? Well, we have them too!”
Gunshots rang out in the jungle.
Tiffany, who was not far away, naturally heard the gunshots. She stopped in her tracks and listened to the sounds, thinking that June and the hitmen had bumped into each other. She then quickly stumbled over.
