RedNovelChapter 1220:
Enzo clutched his wounded arm and collapsed with a gut-wrenching scream.
Through his pain, he shouted, “It hurts so much! | feel like I'm dying! Shoot him! Don’t let him get away with
this!”
As bullets pelted a stone pillar, Jayden took cover behind it, the impact stirring up a haze of dust.
Enzo, incredulous that Jayden remained unscathed, yelled desperately, “Someone take him down! I'll pay triple
to the one who does!”
The barrage ceased suddenly, followed by the sound of quick footsteps.

Then, three consecutive gunshots broke the silence. Mercenaries hidden in the shadows fell one by one.
Stunned by the sudden turn of events, Enzo demanded, “Who dares attack my men?”
He then faced Jayden with suspicion. “Did you call for backup? You've betrayed our agreement by bringing
reinforcements!”
Jayden, equally surprised, had anticipated Enzo would have him surrounded to attempt a capture, not this
unexpected ally. He had no hand in their arrival. As more mercenaries were struck down, their cries foretold
Enzo’s impending doom.
Realizing the gravity of his situation, Enzo pleaded, “Jayden, call off your attack! Remember, | am your
grandfather. You cannot do this to the man who raised you...”

Just then, a familiar voice caught Jayden’s attention.
He turned to find Elyse standing firm, her expression steely as she aimed a handgun. She fired decisively, taking
down another mercenary.
Her voice was icy with rage as she warned, “Jayden, you're in deep trouble tonight.”
The moment Jayden’s eyes met Elyse’s, his mind went blank. Only when he regained his senses did a quiver
surge through his core.
Why was Elyse here? As he pondered, Elyse was already striding toward him with purpose.

Jayden’s eyes widened with apprehension, his mouth agape as he frantically searched for an excuse. To his
shock, Elyse’s hand cracked across his face, leaving him stunned and reeling.
“Do you know why | did that?” Elyse demanded, her expression icy.
Jayden’s response was a confused shake of his head, followed by a rapid nod.
Elyse’s voice was cold and sharp. “Jayden, have you even considered the irresponsibility of your actions?”
“I was trying to eliminate all the dangers, to ensure your safety,” Jayden replied earnestly.
“Why not just lockaway then?” Elyse retorted sharply. “Wouldn't that be safer?”
