Meanwhile, Karl was still being pursued by those black cars through the streets. Had he not been
escorting Frieda’s body, he would’ve taken them out with no issues.
Ramming into them wasn’t an option because he had to ensure the perfect condition of the body, even if
it cost him his life.
Bang!
Another shot was fired, and Karl had to swerve around a sharp corner just to avoid it.
“Damn it! I’m going to kill these fools, Mr. Frost!” shouted one of Karl’s men as he grabbed a gun and
rolled down the window.
Bang! Karl looked back in shock when he heard a silenced shot and saw his man lying motionless with a
bullet hole between his eyes.
The bodyguards in the car went pale and panicked at the sight. “They’ve got a sniper, Mr. Frost!”
Sniper rifles are truly terrifying weapons, and my guy is shot between the eyes while our car is traveling
at high speed! That means the sniper is in one of those cars behind us, which makes them a very scary
threat to deal with. As expected of the Jadesons… They can get their hands on such a professional!
Karl shuddered at the thought of that, and a man from the nearest car raised his rifle again while he was
distracted.
Suddenly, another shot came from behind before that man could return fire.
Bang!
The bullet went through the rear window of the car and hit the man in the head as well, much to Karl’s
surprise.
“Calvin’s here?”
Right as those words left his mouth, a loud vroom was heard as two motorcycles sped past him.
Boom! The next thing he knew, they sent the two black cars that were blocking his path in front flying
high into the sky with a huge explosion.
For years, both Frederick and Sebastian had armed SteelFort with the most advanced weaponry in the
world, giving it an insane amount of destructive power that could even rival that of the Jadesons’.
Karl froze in shock at what he had witnessed until he saw Calvin approach with a L115A3 Long-Range
Rifle in hand.
“Ah, Cal! Since when have you become so violent? You’re a lot more brutal since your brother’s death!”
Karl teased him boldly after regaining his composure.
A frown spread across Calvin’s face when he heard Karl address him like that.
“You want me to blow your brains out right now?”
The latter quickly straightened up and explained everything that happened. “Please don’t! I apologize for
what I said, Mr. Woods! By the way, Frieda’s body is in the back of the car. Mr. Hayes wants us to
cremate it, but I doubt we can get that done. How about we just take it straight back to SteelFort?”
Calvin happened to have the same idea in mind.
If the Jadesons have been chasing after us, then they must have set up an ambush at the funeral parlor
too. In that case, bringing the body back to SteelFort is the best option.
As he ordered his men to move the body out of the car, Calvin said, “All right, I’ll take the body with me.
You go report to Mr. Hayes about this.”
Wait, did this brat just leave me with this mess? He should at least help me explain why we failed to
complete the task, damn it!
Karl stamped his feet angrily at the thought of that.
“Forget it, Mr. Frost. Calvin has always been a strange kid. Things have only worsened since his brother
died. Let’s just ignore him and head back for now,” said one of the bodyguards.
Having no other choice, Karl could only let out a sigh as he returned.
Meanwhile, Sasha had cooped herself up inside her room ever since she brought the kids back.
She could get over what Sebastian said throughout the past few days and his talk about divorce, but his
words that day had hurt her way deeply.
She felt as if a needle had pierced her heart, and the wound remained even after pulling it out.
Why? Why doesn’t he trust me? Why did he go so far as to set up such an elaborate scheme just to
prove my innocence? After all we’ve been through, this is how little he trusts me? Is our relationship
really too far gone to save?
Sasha had never felt so upset her entire life.
“Huh? Why are you brats the only ones here? Where’s your mom?” Sabrina asked when she came in the
house and saw the three children watching TV downstairs.
