y Stu
Chapter 928
Just when Sally wanted to retrieve her phone, it slipped down into the compartment. Hence, she had no choice but
to get Cooper to end the call on her behalf as she floored the accelerator.
No sooner had Cooper picked up the phone than the car's sudden inertia pressed his body against his seat.
“Watch out for the city's speed limits—” The last thing Cooper wanted was for her to speed when driving his car. If
his license ended up being suspended, he would have to rely on Bertilla to give him a ride all the time.
Cooper had barely spoken when someone crashed into the back of their Bentley.
The impact was so huge that their car was almost sent flying.
Gripping the grab handle immediately, Cooper could see two black cars following them closely from the rearview
mirror. In fact, one of them sped up to their right and drove neck to neck with them.

As a gap opened in the window, the black barrel of a gun emerged from it, aiming at Cooper.
With a sharp turn of the steering wheel, Sally rammed their car into their pursuer's.
The massive jolt that resulted prevented the man in the car from getting his shot. Seizing the window of
opportunity, Sally accelerated and sped off.
In the interest of public safety, she swung the car around at a junction before driving toward a skyscraper that was
still under construction. Naturally, the two black cars were in hot pursuit.
Every time their pursuers came close, Sally would use her exceptional driving skills to leave them in the dust.
As it was getting dark, the construction crews had already gone home.
Once their car screeched to a halt in front of the building. Sally swung the car door open and led Cooper inside
where they ascended the building by climbing the concrete stairwell.
When Sally heard the sound of their pursuers' cars coming to a stop, she waved at Cooper for him to continue
going up.
Speculating that there were five to six men in the two cars, Cooper hesitated out of concern that they were too

much for her to handle.
Sally ordered impatiently, “Go now. I'll be able to handle them myself. If you stay, you being a live target will just be
a distraction for me.”
For the very first time, Cooper felt useless without a gun in his hand. Hence, he hurried upstairs without a second
thought.
Meanwhile, Sally hid in one of the corners and gradually slowed down her breathing.
Fortunately, darkness had already fallen, limiting the visibility outside. Given that it was even darker inside the
skyscraper, their pursuers would be further impeded.
When she heard the approaching footsteps, Sally—hiding in the darkness—grabbed the man's neck with her fingers
the moment she saw the barrel of a gun peek out. After cracking his neck with a twist of her hand, she seized his
gun and shot his comrade, who was ascending the stairs.

Her movements were so swift in the darkness that she managed to deal with them in three seconds.
When the men upstairs realized their companions had been killed, they began spraying bullets in Sally's direction.
Tossing her victim's body away, Sally took cover behind a corner.
Even though there was only one staircase going up, their pursuers grew wary of ascending it after losing two men.
At the same time, Sally checked the remaining bullets in the magazine before inserting it back into the gun. Closing
her eyes to listen intently, she tried to determine the number of enemies by their footsteps.
Both sides consequently fell into a stalemate.
After more than ten minutes, their pursuers were raring to go up the stairs again.
Nevertheless, Sally didn't rush out hastily. It wasn't until she was sure all of them were coming up the stairwell and
would be in her sights did she step out decisively. Leveraging her ability to see well in the dark, she fired a shot at
every single one of them, killing everyone on the spot.
Once she was sure there was no one else, she lowered her guard and yelled upstairs, “Come down.”
Sally then headed down first. Kneeling down by one of the dead men in the stairwell, she folded up his short sleeve
and saw a crow tattoo on the man's right arm.
With her attention fixated on the tattoo, her gaze gradually darkened.
