In the Capital City
Bryan parked his car in front of the apartnt. Before Bella could get out of the vehicle, Bryan stopped her.
"Ma’am, please wait for . Don’t go upstairs by yourself!" Bryan warned when he saw the impatient look in her eyes. He couldn’t let her go by herself, or he would get in trouble if his boss found out about their plans change.
"Hurry up!" Bella responded as she stepped out of the car.
Bella walked toward the main entrance and sent Stefan a series of texts. She needed him to do sothing to make her father and uncles leave her aunt’s house.
After sending her last instruction to Stefan, she saw Bryan’s broad and fast stride approaching her. She didn’t wait for him. Instead, she continued to walk inside the building, only stopping when approached by security before reaching the elevator area.
Bryan tried to confront the security guard. However, before he could act, Bella stopped him with her gaze.
He could only clench his teeth and looked sharply at the man before him as if wanting to convey his displeasure.
The security could feel the tension from the imposing man before him. Although worried that this man might beco violent, he didn’t have a choice. It was his duty to check unfamiliar people entering this unit.
"I’m sorry, sir or ma’am, but you can’t enter this area if you are not the tenant—" The security guard’s voice slowly faded when he saw the woman raise her keycard and realized she was no threat. "Ah, I’m sorry, ma’am. You may continue," he politely said and left.
Bella was grateful that earlier this morning before Aunty Emma left the hospital to return to the East City, she had given her Liam’s apartnt card key. Aunty Emma asked her to provide the card key to Noora so that Noora could help Liam with general cleaning every two weeks.
She wasn’t sure if it was a coincidence that she had to visit her office today for a eting with Harper and the others.
After dropping her mother off at the stone house, Bella didn’t stay ho for long. She just took care of her husband and son before leaving.
Shortly after leaving her house, she got an alert from the Sentinel Network’s spotter, who was guarding her aunty’s house, reporting the situation there.
Bella felt alard and tried to figure out how to help her aunt. After successfully contacting her aunt, she was shocked to learn that her evil uncle had taken Liam as a hostage.
Knowing how her evil uncle’s mind worked, she imdiately instructed Bryan to head to Liam’s place. She felt relieved that Liam’s apartnt was only ten minutes from her car’s location.
As they headed to the tenth floor, her prayers never stopped. She wished that those people had not hard Liam. Otherwise, she would not show them any rcy.
It didn’t take long. They were finally on the tenth floor, before Liam’s apartnt door.
Bella knew Liam’s door password but didn’t rush to open it. She was worried that the sound of the door opening would alert her father’s henchn inside.
She leaned closer to the door, trying to hear what was happening inside. A few seconds later, a half-smile slowly appeared on her lips when she could clearly listen to an announcer reading the news.
This is her chance. If she opens the door, the person inside will not hear because they turn on the television and set its sound so loud.
Before Bella opened the door, she glanced at Bryan, who stood beside her in alert.
"Are you ready?"
"Yes, ma’am. But are you sure you don’t want to wait for our backup?" Bryan asked. Even though there were probably only two or four people inside, he was worried that they had brought guns.
Bryan wouldn’t worry if he was alone, but now his young madam is with him. He can’t act rashly, can he?
"No need. We can handle them," Bella confidently replied, piquing Bryan’s curiosity even more. He had only heard rumors about his young madam’s fighting skills, but now he wanted to witness it himself.
However, reality hit him again; he couldn’t take this situation lightly. His young madam’s safety was his top priority.
"Alright, ma’am. You stay outside; I will take care of everyone inside," Bryan said. This was the safest way to rescue her cousin without endangering her life.
Bella was left speechless.
"Wait for over there, mam." Bryan pointed a few ters away from the door. "Ah, do you know what his password is, mam? I an PIN."
"Bryan, I appreciate your concern for my safety, but you need to stop now," Bella said with a smile. It was amusing to see Bryan trying to protect her.
She continued, "Well, I can take care of myself. There’s no need to worry about ."
"But, ma’am, let take the lead. You stay behind ," Bryan insisted. "You can’t reject , mam. Or your husband will kill if he knows..."
"Deal," Bella hurriedly responded. What Bryan said was true; Tristan might punish him.
Even so, inwardly, Bella felt the urge to vent her frustration at her uncle Jacob for what he did to his own family by torturing the gangster inside.
As expected, when Bryan slowly opened the door, no one noticed them.
Bella followed Bryan into the apartnt and stopped in a hiding place to check the situation. She saw four tall, robust n in the room, seemingly enjoying the news while munching on apples and drinking soda. They all looked so relaxed like they were in the picnic area.
Her heart races when she finally spots Liam, still tied in the chair, with a deadpan expression. It worries her.
"Ma’am, you wait here, let kick their asses."
Bella couldn’t refuse Bryan this ti. She could only say, "Go do it faster!" even though, in her heart, she felt reluctant to let Bryan fight alone because she also wanted to test her ability and vent her anger.
Bryan no longer stood beside her but moved quickly, shocking the four n in the living room. Before they could do anything, Bryan had already subdued them with his powerful punches and kicks, sending them into a miserable state, kissing the floor with their bones cracking here and there.
She blinked a few tis, noticing how fast Bryan moved. Everyone was lying on the floor in just three minutes, barely moving.
However, before Bella could approach Bryan, she felt cold tal pressed against her head.
’Damn it!’
Bella couldn’t help but curse, realizing they missed another gangster in the house.
