Chapter 543

… only to see Karl standing next to her.

He was wearing the dark red suit he had tried on the other day, and he was beaming. He had a naive, ingratiating smile on his face.

He looked at Tanya and smiled, “I’ve come, Tanya.” Tanya’s eyes instantly reddened. She held Karl’s hand tightly, but realized that he was carrying a small silver pistol in his other hand. The gun was pointed at Nora. She said nothing, but the undercover agents hiding in the crowd didn’t dare step forward.

Tanya was shocked. “Dad, what are you doing?” a smile appeared on Karl’s face when he heard her call him ‘dad’. He said, “Don’t worry, she’s your best friend, I would never hurt her. It’s just that I have to do this to see your wedding through to the end.”

Nora understood. She stood there lazily, unafraid of the silver gun pointed at her.

Because… there were no bullets in the gun.

It was just a toy gun that Karl played with. As a Black Cat, he had even once teased Karl about it. However, Karl had said, “This gun can be used to threaten people! What do you know?”

And now, it really was being used to threaten people.

He stayed where he was quietly and turned his head to look. Indeed, Morris had already taken a step forward. However, Karl smiled and said, “Captain Ford, I advise you not to move. I just want to see my daughter’s wedding through to the end. I’m sure you guys will agree, won’t you?”.

Morris clenched his jaw.

Nora raised her eyebrows and said lazily, “Captain Ford, I don’t want to die.”

Everyone was speechless at her reaction. For some reason, even though she was saying things like ‘I didn’t want to die,’ as if she was scared, she didn’t even bother to pretend she was scared and afraid.

In the crowd, even the corners of Justin’s lips couldn’t help but twitch.

Why was his girl so lazy to act? She was just…so cute.

Morris put the earpiece to his ear and said through it, “Everyone, stand by. Don’t beat around the bush.”

His words immediately calmed all the other undercover agents.

Karl offered Tanya his arm and allowed her to hold him.

Tears rolled down Tanya’s cheeks.

She didn’t know what to say. From the red carpet at the entrance to the stage in the distance was a total distance of two hundred yards.

Joel was standing in the middle of the red carpet and waiting for her.

Karl advanced with her step by step. He said to her somewhat nervously, “Don’t cry, Tanya! Daddy is fine…”.

The tearful Tanya asked, “You broke out of jail just to attend my wedding? Don’t you know that doing that will add another charge to your crimes? You only needed to be in jail for two or three years, but now you will have to be in jail for five years!”

Karl smiled and said, “I’m tough and sturdy. Five years is fair enough. Three years isn’t enough for me to do anything in jail.”

Tanya’s lips were still pressed tightly together. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she said, “Mom was killed by Margot.”

“I know. Don’t worry, I won’t let her get away,” Karl replied coolly. Then he sighed and said, “I’ve already let your mother down once, Tanya, I can’t let you down too. I hope you can be the happiest bride in the world today.”

Tanya was choking back sobs.

Nora, who was being ‘held at gunpoint’ by Karl, walked quietly beside the two. She let out a silent sigh as she watched them. She glanced at the crowd, only to discover that Ian was sitting in the front row and silently crying.

Also, as he was crying, he even looked at her as if he had felt her looking at him.

Nora: “…”

Excuse me!

Your status as the big boss in the business world has been shattered!

Just then, a cold, unfamiliar voice suddenly came over the headset: “Karl Moore has escaped from prison. He is armed and threatens the safety of the hostages. Sniper is ready and standing by. Permission granted to kill target if necessary.”

“I repeat, as part of the Assassin Alliance, Karl Moore is a cruel and vicious man. For the safety of the hostage, as well as the safety of all present, permission has been granted to shoot and kill the target whenever necessary!”

“Sniper, get ready!”

Along with the voice, another slightly younger voice was also heard in Nora’s ear:

“Ready Nightingale!”

Nora’s eyes suddenly darkened.

Morris put his hand to his ear. “Sir, no! The suspect has no plans to shoot.”

The person Morris had addressed as ‘sir’ scoffed, “How are you going to know if he has plans to shoot or not? Besides, your hostage’s life is in danger! Sniper, fire immediately! That’s an order.”

“Yes, sir!”

Morris wanted to say more, but the sniper had already responded.

Nora frowned. Only then did she realize that Morris wasn’t actually the head of the special department. Although that made sense. He was only between twenty-five and twenty-six; no matter how quickly he rose through the ranks, there was no way he could control the entire special department.

Take Karl down, though?

If that happened, Tanya’s wedding would turn straight into a funeral.

Besides, Karl didn’t intend to kill her at all.

Nora narrowed her eyes.

Just at that moment, Tanya, who was overly agitated, tripped over her wedding dress in her high heels. Karl unconsciously put away the gun pointed at Nora and helped Tanya up.

It was precisely at that moment that the sniper’s voice rang in the earpiece: “Target locked!”

“Fire!”

“Yes, sir!”

Bang!

The sound of a bullet whizzing through the air caused an uproar throughout the place.
