NovelStartChapter 930 He took out a switchblade, twirling it beside Baby with a malicious grin.
"You used to scratch yourself up as a kid, but that's boring. Let's go for something heavier, shall we? I'll decide the weight - either from you or from her. So, who's it gonna be...?" He couldn't finish his sentence as a rock suddenly struck his wrist! The switchblade clattered to the ground.
Tarquin's voice was like ice. "Back off from her!" The masked man looked at him, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"You got the nerve to hit me, not realizing the mess you're in? She's mine. I could end her in a heartbeat!" Tarquin's gaze didn't waver. "Think again why I'd dare to do such a thing!" "Why?" the masked man asked, puzzled.
"Don't you know? I never enter a fight unprepared." The masked man's suspicion deepened.

He answered, clearly annoyed. "Talk!" "There's been a mishap, get out now! The explosives are set to go off in less than ten minutes. Any later and it's too late!" "What happened?" "I'll explain face-to-face." "Are you sure?" "Positive. We need to evacuate now!" "Damn it!" After hanging up, the masked man regained his composure and turned back to Tarquin.
"Such a pity. I was looking forward to making you suffer a bit longer. But it seems fate has other plans. In another life, Tarquin. Don't forget to seekout. We'll have our rematch." With that, he signaled to his men and they quickly made their way to the roof where a helicopter awaited.
Seeing this, the henchmen downstairs caught on and started to evacuate.
Seizing the moment, Tarquin dashed to the second floor to rescue Baby.
But he was met with sniper fire.
While the henchmen retreated, the sniper did not.
Forced into a corner, Tarquin ducked behind a piece of machinery, scouting for the sniper's position. Keith had just received a text from an informant, warning him of the impending explosion at the factory! Frowning deeply, he took a deep breath, pocketed his phone, and focused on locating the sniper.
He and Tarquin worked together, quickly neutralizing several threats.
But one was too well-hidden, their location unknown.
This sniper was deliberately leaving Baby alive as bait, ensuring Tarquin and Keith couldn't escape the factory before the explosion. Tticked away in the silent, abandoned factory.
Now it was just Tarquin, Keith, Baby, and the unseen sniper.

Keith, hidden behind machinery, glanced at Baby on the second floor, his eyes filled with tenderness and love. Baby was still sobbing, eyes shut tight, following his instructions.
Keith felt a pang in his heart, warming his eyes.
He gritted his teeth, looked at Tarquin, who was busy on his phone.
Feeling Keith's gaze, Tarquin looked up.
Unable to speak directly, Tarquin gestured to his phone, signaling Keith to check his.
Keith didn't look at his phone, instead, he signaled a plan to Tarquin.
This time, he'd be the decoy!
Once he ran out, the sniper would shoot at him, revealing their position, allowing Tarquin to take the shot.
Tarquin got the message, his eyes widened in protest, but Keith Was already sprinting out! A laser immediately targeted Keith, followed by the sharp sound of a gunshot.
