Chapter 596:
Besides, they could always enjoy a romantic bath together afterward.
Tonya, who understood Harleeâs unspoken thoughts, caught Harleeâs gaze, rolled her eyes dramatically, and stuck her tongue out in mock annoyance. In the next moment, Tonya snuggled into Ritchieâs arms, her coyness so charming that it made even Harlee blush.
Harlee couldnât help but admire Tonya.
For the couple, a few hours apart felt like an eternity, and their affectionate display was almost unbearable.
Meanwhile, Chamberlain, who had just dropped from the helicopter rope, froze, staring at Harlee and Rhys. Then, his gaze settled on Rhys, filled with shock and fear, his expression twisted in disbelief.
If he fell into Harleeâs hands, he might still have a chance to survive.
But if he ended up in the hands of Rhys, the leader of the Sovereign of the Underworld, he was doomed.
Previously, while trying to assist the organizationâs escape, Chamberlain had caught a glimpse of the head of the Sovereign of the Underworld. Since then, he had been unable to rid himself of that face.
He couldnât afford to forget it, terrified that if he accidentally offended the Sovereign of the Underworldâs leader, he would doom himself.
Thinking of the many organization leaders who had disappeared over the years after crossing the Sovereign of the Underworld, Chamberlain shuddered involuntarily.
No.
He would rather die than fall into the hands of that monster!
gⱯlnÏνððsâ¤com, the heart of storytelling
Chamberlain scrambled to his feet and bolted toward the dense forest. Though injured, he did his best to escape, not slowing down.
Harlee noticed Chamberlainâs every movement and couldnât help but frown slightly in confusion. What was with that terrified look? Was he scared of Rhys or what?
Before Harlee could consider it further, seeing Chamberlain attempt to flee, she exchanged a glance with Tonya, who immediately broke off from Ritchie to pursue him.
But before Tonya could chase after Chamberlain, Rhys said firmly, âNo need to bother.â
Hearing this, Harlee raised an eyebrow. Then, Harlee saw several figures emerge from the surrounding grass. In the blink of an eye, they had completely surrounded Chamberlain and his remaining men.
Although Harlee had left a few enemies barely alive, these ambushers moved with speed and precision. They were on a completely different level from the previous gunfight.
âCapture him alive. Kareem wants answers.â After giving the orders, Harlee narrowed her eyes at Rhys and lazily commented, âLooks like youâre quite the big shot.â
Rhys gave a gentle âhmm,â ruffling her hair.
âIâll explain everything when we get back.â
And with that, Harlee followed Rhys, letting him take the lead.
Before Rhys arrived, Harlee could take on ten men at once, even breaking an enemyâs neck with her bare hands.
But the moment he showed up, she turned into a softie. She didnât feel like talking or moving.
All she wanted was to rest in his embrace.
If Rhys werenât injured, she would cling to him even more.
