Chapter 1678
He never saw it coming, that the girl would actually pull the trigger.
"Missed." Arabella pressed the barrel of the gun against Steward's temple once more, "This time, it's
for real."
A collective gasp filled the room as everyone instinctively stepped back. They believed that this girl
might actually pull the trigger on Steward.
Horace thought he saw a glimmer of hope. He never expected the boss to turn the tables with such
ease. Just when he thought they could make a clean getaway, someone made a move, charging at
Arabella with lightning speed.
"Boss, watch out!" Before Horace could finish his warning, he saw a dashing rogue exchange blows
with the boss. Their agility matched each other's, making the fight seem more thrilling than a Hollywood
action flick.
Steward hadn't expected Sean to come to his rescue. He touched his temple, relieved his life was
spared.
Sean's skills were unmatched; few in the world could stand against him! Now, the missy was in for a
world of trouble! It was better to let her learn that there was always a bigger fish. Let's see if she dared
to be so bold in the future. Oh, wait, with Sean, there might not be a future.
Arabella's fist connected with Sean's chest, and she could feel him stagger. Was he injured? Sean
hadn't expected such power and precision from a slip of a girl, especially one so nimble. She was
definitely not one’s average girl-next-door.
They clashed again, and soon Sean's strong forearm landed on the girl's back. Arabella stumbled at
the hit.
"Boss." Horace could hear the impact. It must've hurt. This damn man, had he never heard of chivalry?
To strike his boss in the back.
Arabella didn't expect this man to actually land a hit on her. She gave a cold smirk and launched
another attack. Sean's interest was piqued, "Who are you, really?"
To escape the Demon Ring unscathed, to be a speed demon on wheels, and to have such fighting
skills. Had his girl to be from some organization? No ordinary family would have a daughter with such
prowess and courage.
"Your worst nightmare," Arabella shot back, landing another kick to his solid abs. Clearly, the man
worked out; those were some serious muscles.
"What's on your mind?" Sean teased with a crooked smile, "Thinking about my abs?"
Everyone was rendered speechless. What just happened? Why did Sean suddenly sound like a thug?!
Arabella didn't miss a beat, striking his chest again, and Sean's face twisted in pain. He hadn't
expected her to be so ruthless.
Meanwhile, Steward and Horace were also trading blows, and the others were scrambling to get to
Sam. Arabella tried to help, but Sean was blocking her way.
In the chaos, a shout rang out, "Sean, Sam's dead!"
All action ceased, and heads turned. Arabella rushed to Sam's side with incredible speed. Steward
tried to stop her from touching the body, but Horace knocked his hand away.
"Our boss knows medicine. What do you know, huh? Step aside!"
Steward had never been humiliated like this by a subordinate, "What does knowing medicine have to
do with it? Someone shot him. Go after them. I'll take him to a doctor."
"He's been shot in the abdomen. It's not a fatal wound, but the bullet was poisoned. He's beyond
saving."
Her words left Steward speechless. Even though she was clearly addressing Horace, Steward couldn't
help but retort, "Nonsense, he's still breathing."
