But Arabella felt extraordinarily safe in Romeo's arms, as if all the dangers of the world were kept at bay by his warm and strong

embrace.

Shrapnel from the explosion scattered onto Romeo's back, but he seemed impervious to the pain as he continued to shield the girl

in his arms.

Debris flew towards others, striking sin the head, others splattering across their bodies.

It wasn't until the fury of the explosion had subsided, and the thick smoke had cleared enough to see the path ahead, that Jones

and the others began to help the injured to their feet.

Kenneth cradled Louisa in his arms, feeling an overwhelming joy of having survived the ordeal. Looking at his wife, her hair and

face covered in dust, his eyes moistened with tears.

Knowing she was safe, Louisa finally let go of her fear and burst into tears.

Bernard and Cornelia, being elderly, were thrown several feet away by the blast. They hit the ground and lost consciousness.

"Boss!" Jones called out, informing her of the two elderly people who had fainted.

Arabella stepped out of Romeo's embrace to check her grandparents’ pulse, finding they were alright, and her heart settled.

"I'll carry them to the car first," Romeo said as he lifted Bernard. Only then did Arabella notice the injury on his back; his clothes

torn, and blood seeping out.

Her eyes filled with a mix of gratitude and heartache. After he had picked up Bernard, he went to lift Cornelia.

Jones crunning over to report to Arabella, "Boss, when we cupon them, they were trying to flee, but we caught them."

Arabella's eyes turned cold as she looked at Serena, Nighthawk, Tyrannosaurus, and the others tied up not far away, "Take them

back."

Serena knew nothing good awaited her upon return. She protested with sobs, only to be met with a fierce slap from Jack.

"Crya river, you'll get what's coming to you."

Jack's slap was powerful; since Serena's cheek had already been cut by the shrapnel from the explosion, the slap widened her

wound, causing her to grimace in pain.

Arabella's subordinate clearly lacked the sense of chivalry towards ladies, to strike such a beautiful face.

"Oh yeah, boss, | haven't told you who the mysterious person is." Jones leaned into Arabella and revealed the name, which made

her eyes grow even colder.

"We've got them now," reported another subordinate.

"Let's go."

At Arabella's command, everyone got into their vehicles, ready to leave. To their surprise, her five brothers arrived one after

another.

Serena had told them that Bernard, Cornelia, Kenneth, Louisa, and even Arabella were in her grasp.

She had even sent them photos.

When Hans received the photos, he was in a neighboring city. Chasel was on a mission in another town, Clark had landed a big

contract and was busy building a firewall, Sean and Ophelia were out on their first date, and David was at a rehearsal.

All five of them, upon receiving the message, hurried over and had just now arrived.

"It's all right now," Arabella succinctly briefed the situation to her brothers.

The brothers hadn't expected Serena to be so heartless, you could say, she was completely insane.

Seeing the wounds on their sister, they urged her to get into the car and get back for treatment.

On the way, Arabella asked Jack in the car, "Amos and Cookie."

"Don't worry, boss, they're already at our headquarters. When you're available, all of us will accompany our fallen brothers on their

final journey, to send them off in style," Jack assured her.

"Good," Arabella nodded in approval, "Well done."

"Take a break, boss, you're injured," Jack reminded her, knowing that the force of Chester's blows was several times that of an

average person, even a knife cut was deeper than usual.
