Chapter 723
<b>Valerie </b>looked not far away and saw that he was frowning. One moment, his gaze was deep, and he raised his voice as if very displeased. The next moment, he <b>had </b><b>a </b>sneer on his lips, and his eyes were filled with disdain. The well–armed men on the opposite side also had serions expressions ou
their faces.
She was too far away to <b>hear </b>what <b>they </b>were saying, but she saw a sh of shock cross their brows before fear overtook them, <b>causing </b><b>them </b>to <b>retreat </b>one after another. They looked at Matthew as if he were some heinous individual.
Valerie found this strange, She wondered if Maulew <b>had </b>intimidated them. Sheid not expected him to have influence here, but she could not help thinking that his power had already extended <b>to </b><b>this </b>ce.
Not far away, the
he <b>faint </b>sound of gunfire could be heard. The street was filled with smoke from time to time. The civilians were used to it, but their frightened eyes were <b>numb</b>.
Valerie truly felt that it was not easy to live here and wanted to leave even more.
At this moment, before the assembly team leader left, he <b>nced </b>at Matthew. Matthew waved at them and walked back.
<b>Valerie </b>greeted, “Matthew”
She quickly grabbed Matthew’s arm. “How is it? <b>What </b><b>did </b>they say?”
“They said they would not make things difficult for <b>us </b>anymore. Do <b>not </b><b>worry</b>,” heforted.
As soon <b>as </b>they finished speaking, the men <b>from </b>earlier caught up <b>to </b>them again. Valerie was shocked and <b>quickly </b>blocked Matthew. Matthew heldi her tightly and stared at the approaching man.
The man asked in broken English. “Do you know King?”
Matthew nodded. Sure enough, when the other party saw his response, he could <b>not </b>help but smile bitterly and leave.
Valerie finally heaved a sigh of relief, then asked, “Who is King?”
Before Matthew could speak, Linda exined, “King is the leader of an international hacker alliance. Those who offenst <b>him </b>do not have a gossi ending. The most famous incident involved a multinational corporation. They reneged on a deal and angered King, <b>who </b>destroyed thepany with <b>a </b>market value of billions within 48 hours.”
“Susce then, nobody in the industry has dared to underestimate King, Matthew, if you know King, we
will be much safer <b>here</b>” Valerie <b>was </b>amazed when she heard <b>this</b>. Those men would probably not dare to bother them again if that were the case.
This <b>was </b>the disadvantage of being overseas, <b>especially </b>in a war–torn country. However, with such a powerful person around, there should not be any problems.
Linda <b>shrugged </b><b>and </b>reminded them, “But while it is easy to avoid open attacks, it is hard to <b>guard </b>against <b>sneak </b>attacks. It is better to be <b>cautious</b>. We do not know if those men will resort to underhanded tactics. After all, we ate too conspicuous here?

Julian’s <b>heart </b>sank. “Was there no hopef
He suddenly wanted to <b>rush </b>in, hoping to <b>see </b>Katherine onest time before she died.
Lindaforted him, “Wait a little longer. My brother should be arriving soon.
Linda was well <b>aware </b>of the <b>situation</b>. “The knockout drugs used in this kind of ce usually have strong hallucinogenic effects and deep toxins. Morrower, Miss Santos <b>has </b>not been treated well since she arrived here, so she has no resistance to this kind of drug. <b>I </b>already informed my brother to bring the special medicine. Everyone, wait a little longer.”
Hearing this, Valerie heaved <b>a </b><b>sigh </b>of relief and felt very grateful for Linda’s thoughtfulness.
Julian clenched his fists. “Thank you Linda-
Linda shook her head <b>and </b>remained silent, only <b>staring </b>ahead while urging her brother on the phone.
Everyone was burning v
(with anxiety. If anything happened along the <b>way </b>and the special medicine did not arrive, Katherine would surely die.
Valerie’s heart sank. Linda mude several phone calls and instructed her subordinates, “Go and <b>pick </b><b>up </b>my brother. You must bring the medicine <b>back </b>
Julian wanted to go, but Linda stopped him. “It is best if our people do not split up now. This ce is chaotic<b>, </b>once we separate, regrouping will be difficult. So let my people handle it”
Valerie also nodded. “Yes, and we are foreigners. It is not wise to split up and act alone in this ce.”
Julian could only give up and wait patiently.
Time ticked by. Fifteen minutester, a ck car sped <b>over </b>and stopped at the entrance. A man with deep–set eyes got out. He bore some resemnce to Linda..
Linda immediately went up to him. “Bowie.”
The man banded the medicine to Linda, who then passed it to Julsan. “Quickly, take it inside;”
She looked nervously at Bowie. “Are you alright? You are not hurt, are you?”
“No. <b>Linda</b>, is it worth it for you to be running around here for that mant”
Linda shook her head. “It is <b>alright</b>. He promised to marry me.”
