Chapter 1055: Chapter 1055

Chapter 1055:

“Go on, try it. Shoot if you’re bold enough.” Shrieks filled the air.

Kareem gestured to the security team and soldiers to escort the remaining civilians to safety.

He then faced the men, his tone measured.

“We don’t need more bloodshed. State your demands.”

Just then, from beneath the cart, a hand darted out before retreating just as quickly.

Kareem’s pulse quickened.

Even in that fleeting moment, he couldn’t miss it—it was Harlee’s hand.

But why was she still conscious? Normally, abductors would subdue their targets. Was she faking unconsciousness because she knew them?

Before Kareem could think further, the assassin in front pressed a blade against a hostage’s throat.

“Ten minutes.

Bring that cart and our two comrades here, and then provide us with transportation.

A second longer, and this one dies!”

Kareem’s eyes flicked to the cart again, catching a subtle OK signal from underneath.

He straightened and nodded.

“Fine. I’ll do as you ask.”

Inside the cart, Harlee exhaled in relief—her signal had been noticed.

Kareem made swift arrangements for a vehicle and ordered his team to stand down.

He instructed his soldiers to lower their guns from the two subdued assassins’ temples.

“The transport is ready. Your two comrades are here. Now…”

“Release your captives.” The three assailants exchanged glances.

“Once we’re inside the car, we’ll release them.”

“OK. I hope you will keep your word.” Kareem signaled, and his soldiers released the two subdued assassins. The two previously subdued assassins moved quickly. The moment they were unrestrained, they steered the cleaning cart toward the vehicle, while their accomplices hauled the hostages along.

Suddenly, Harlee sprang from the cart.

“Now!”

Harlee seized the head of the assassin steering the cart, wrenching it with deadly precision honed through training, and his body crumpled to the ground, lifeless. Quickly, Harlee coordinated with the soldiers to move the captives away from the assassins.

Shrieks filled the air, sharp and overwhelming. Suddenly, Harlee’s knees buckled, leaving her unable to stand.

Among the hostages was a young girl. Though trembling with fear, she clung tightly to Harlee.

“Miss, please hold on. Let’s hide over there.”

Harlee lacked the energy to reply, her teeth digging into her lip as she struggled to remain conscious. It was all she could manage at the moment.

Her strength was drained—both from blood loss and the effort of eliminating the enemy.

The clash was over as abruptly as it had begun.

All six assassins were eliminated inside the hospital. Thankfully, no hostages were injured, though some unfortunate civilians sustained injuries when one of the assassins sprayed bullets into the crowd.
