Chapter 1502


    A crowd had already gathered at the door, with Quentin''s men and folks from the Bradshaw n.


    Timothy hadn''t shown up. If he were to step in now, it would be an open deration of war against


    Quentin, which would give Quentin the green light to target him.


    But these men sent by the Bradshaw n were shady characters, and if Quentin tried to pin anything


    on Timothy afterward, he could just im these guys had been bought off by Patric.


    As long as Timothy stayed out of sight, he could smoothly extricate himself from the whole mess.


    Quentin, seeing the Bradshaw family’s folks backing Patric, let out a sneer.


    "What''s this about, huh?"


    A many fallen at his side, who was hit by the gunfire that had just erupted.


    Tonight, Inner Ind was doomed to be restless.


    Without a second''s hesitation, Patric waved his hand.


    "Spare no one. Take them all down."


    He was determined to turn Inner Ind upside down the very night.


    A frown creased Quentin''s forehead; Patric was truly a madman.


    He quickly ducked for cover as both sidesunched into a fierce gunfight at that moment.


    Due to the close range, casualties mounted quickly, with over two dozen people downed; the scene


    was brutal.


    Quentin had already found a hiding spot, and the others scrambled for cover.


    Patric, standing behind a pir at the entrance, inhaled the metallic tang of blood in the air, his eyes


    iced over with cold resolve.


    He grabbed the keys in his hand and opened the door to Maja''s room.


    He shut out all the chaos behind the door and walked straight to Maja''s bedside.


    Maja was still immobile, only able to watch him draw near.


    He lifted her in his arms and hit a switch; the floor instantly gave way beneath them.


    A secret passage within the room!


    Maja was speechless at the sight, and she overheard Patric on the phone giving orders.


    "The elder and Ian, I want them dead at the Bradshaw estate tonight. Mr. Bradshaw, are you willing to

    take a gamble? You''ve seen mytest invention, and if we mass-produce this drug, who would dare


    defy you?"


    Just twenty minutes earlier, Patric had handed over a newly developed drug to Timothy.


    This drug was more potent than thest one, capable of disrupting a person''s will and making them


    temporarily submissive.


    Even those with irond wills could be controlled.


    Compared to the previous concoction, this was a game-changer.


    The old stuff could only manipte the weak, but this could turn power yers into domesticated pets.


    Timothy could hardly believe such a drug existed in the world.


    And its creator, Patric, was the man the Bradshaw n was eager to coborate with.


    With his skills, he could skyrocket the Bradshaw n to untold heights!


    Timothy had been biding his time for years, and what he had been waiting for was exactly an


    opportunity like this.


    He had to take the gamble!


    After ending the call, Patric, holding Maja, silently proceeded through the secret passage.


    After he removed a needle from her arm, she could speak again.


    She could tell that Patric''s earlier words were meant to hoodwink Mr. Bradshaw.


    But he had indeed created a powerful drug, and what he wanted wasn''t to stay with the Bradshaw n,


    but to destroy everything here, including Ian.


    Then he would take Maja and find a quiet ce to live.


    "Maja, I''ve nted bombs all over the Bradshaw estate. I’ll walk a few hundred yards more for us to


    exit through the front, and once we’re in the safe zone, I’ll detonate the bombs, and sent everyone here


    to death, including Ian."


    Excitement flickered in his eyes as he spoke those words.


    "Maja, I''ll take you back to Greenfield Gardens."


    Maja thought he had truly lost his mind. Back to Greenfield Gardens? Who did he think he was?


    "Get lost."


    Her tone was even colder as she closed her eyes. "If Ian dies, I won''t want to live either."


    Her words halted Patric in his tracks, and he felt a pang tearing through his heart.


    Perhaps it was thest vestige of Eric Raymond''s emotions stirring within him.


    His gaze suddenly rested on Maja''s belly.


    It was as if he could see through her skin to the child still growing inside her.


    Ian''s child.


    The previous drug wasn''t meant to make her miscarry.


    He had just wanted to scare her.  Draмa?ovеls.cом


    With his grip tightened, he took a deep breath, and continued forward with heavy steps.


    Maja was better off not seeing any of it.


    After a few hundred yards, Patric stopped and pressed the detonator in his hand.


    But only a few yards out, his leg was suddenly struck by a bullet.


    Pain seared through him and sweat was beading on his forehead as he fell to his knees.
