Life at the Top

Chapter 2452

Jasper had always been daring, and now he began to wonder what Snow did to make these intelligence officers so interested.

Needless to say, this group of mercenaries, pretending to be guards, were sent to block people out and deal with emergencies.

Their purpose was to ensure that even if they did not catch Snow the thief, he would not get out alive and be controlled by Qari.

That such a mercenary group had been hiding in Bardot for many days without being discovered must be the trump card they had been hiding all along.

Now that the ban on guns was aggressively implemented, a group of desperadoes lurking in main cities had become extremely precious and an essential strategic resource.

They were initially intended to be used as a last resort. However, because of what Snow had done, the United States intelligence agency was willing to play this trump card ahead of time and it showed their hatred for Snow. Snow must have found some information not known to the outside world.

Although Jasper was curious, he also knew that there was no time to waste. He had to act quickly, otherwise, Rowan might die. This group of mercenaries obviously regarded Rowan as an ‘accident’ that they had to watch out for.

Once they found out that Rowan was a man, Rowan would surely die.

As the heir to the Jefferson family of the United Kingdom, Stefan’s safety was of utmost importance. If something happened to him, it would inevitably cause a huge shock.

While Diana and the others rushed out of the car desperately, Stefan was staring blankly at the group of ‘guards’ who were clearly looking unfriendly.

No matter how dumb he was, he also realized that something was wrong with these ‘guards’.

How would a ‘guard’ show such murderous eyes when facing a lone and vulnerable woman?

Cold sweat started dripping from his back

When he was wondering if he should give up on his mission, loud gunshots rang next to his ear, causing his eardrums to buzz in pain.

Stefan shuddered and lay on the ground. After that, he heard more gunshots.

Stefan saw the ‘guards’ collapsing, one after another. Then, the rest of them cursed, raising their guns to fight back.

Stefan was shaking all over like a terrified bunny.

At this moment, a ‘guard’ saw Stefan and started to run over. It seemed that he wanted to abduct this ‘pure and charming’ woman as a hostage.

Stefan’s mind was blank from fear so he did not notice danger approaching.

“What are you doing? Run!”

At the critical moment, he heard a familiar voice and a hand grabbed him to pull him into the building.

The guard rushing toward Stefan was killed by a clean shot from Adrian.

Stefan finally saw what was happening. He felt scared at first, but then he felt fortunate.

It’s Diana!

He’s here to save me!

I’m fine now!

Stefan wanted to cheer but he felt someone push a gun into his hand.

After that, he heard Diana saying to him urgently, “Stefan, stop spacing out. Come into the building with me and find a target.” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

He had finally received the task he had been anticipating. At this moment, Stefan felt as if he wanted to burst into tears. However, in the next second, Diana’s voice distinguished his excitement.

“Your main job this time is to protect yourself because we might die if we fail.”
