Chapter 1261 Help Arrives
River narrowed his eyes and uttered, "It''s you." He then charged at Blood Rose. "I''ve been wanting to
settle the score with you."
On the contrary, Albert said nothing before jumping into the fray.
Meanwhile, Olivia had never seen Albert fight before, and she had assumed royalty like him would
never be that good in martial arts since they were born with a silver spoon in their mouths. However,
his clean swings and decisive strikes shattered her impression of him.
With their help, Jewel and Olivia gradually went from floundering to gaining the upper hand.
In the meantime, Blood Rose knew that there was no way she could kill them today, so she did not
stick around for long. She swiftly threw a smoke bomb the size of a chicken egg before dragging the
assassin on the ground away with her.
As everyone did not know the purpose of the projectile, they had all instinctively dodged it. It was only
later that they realized it was just a smoke bomb. This infuriated Jewel, and she quickly cleared the air
of smoke to give chase to Blood Rose and the others.
"Don''t chase after her. We don''t need to deal with her right away," Olivia shouted after her.
However, these words did not sit well with Jewel. What''s the likelihood of running into Blood Rose
again if we blow this opportunity? Nheless, she knew that Olivia''s advice was for her benefit, and if
she had rushed over, she would have been ambushed just as she had been previously. Hence, she
sighed and swallowed her displeasure before returning to Olivia, her eyes twinkling with concern. "Are
you okay?"
After hearing this, Olivia had to clench her jaw tightly to get through the pain after Blood Rose flung her
through the air several times. How can I be okay? However, her statement contradicted that. "I''m fine.
What about you?"
Jewel shook her head. "I''m fine as well. I''m sorry. I shouldn''t have been so impulsive."
"It''s fine. As long as you''re okay," Olivia replied.
Then, Jewel apologetically looked at Albert and River. "What about you two, Mr. Bleu?"
At this moment, Albert was wiping the blood off the corner of his mouth and said, "I''m fine."
"Should we report this to the police?" River asked.
"Yes. With the threat of the police hanging over the assassins'' heads, they will not be as bold," Olivia
dered.
"It''s all my fault. Let''s get ourselves checked out," Jewel said remorsefully.
The group then returned to the restaurant, greeted warmly by the owner, who quickly apologized, "I''m
so sorry for what happened. We apologize for the poor oversight of our staff. We will fully cooperate
with you, be it in a police investigation or in terms ofpensation."
The restaurant owner was a Criecian man in his forties who looked slightly overweight but wasProperty ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
otherwise a nice guy. Furthermore, it would be quite a stretch to demand the restaurant take full
responsibility for the situation when it was evident that the waiter had done the deed of his own ord
out of greed.
Nevertheless, Olivia did not express her thoughts but stated coldly, "We''ve called the police."
Then, Albert nced at the owner and asked, "The waiter is still around, right?"
"Yes. You may resolve this however you wish," the owner replied humbly. "We bear part of the
responsibility for hiring unscrupulous staff members. Let us find a quiet ce to wait for the police." He
then waved a waiter over. "Lead our guests to a new private room."
"It''s fine. The food in our previous room was not touched, right?" Olivia asked.
The owner pointed to Albert and said, "They were not. This gentleman here told us to leave the food
untouched, and no one was sent in to clean up anything either."
"We''ll head back to that room then. Do you have a first aid kit?"
"Yes, we do!" the owner hurriedly replied. "I''ll fetch it for you right away."
Afterward, Olivia disinfected and bandaged everyone''s wounds after returning to their room. All of them
were hurt in different ways. Jewel had a several-inch-long gash on her arm caused by one of the
assassins'' des. Her face was also sttered with bruises, though it was unclear how many other
wounds beneath her clothing.
In contrast, Albert suffered only a cut to the corner of his mouth and was not seriously injured. With
only two of them against four assassins, River stepped in to help Jewel and ended up bruised and
bloodied.
Meanwhile, Olivia''s earlierments that evening had been nothing more than polite niceties because
Albert and River''s assistance hadpelled her to be nice, but by this point, her gratitude toward them
was genuine. She realized that she and Jewel might not have made it out of the situation unscathed
without their assistance.
