Chapter 432


    Bullets were flying across their heads. If it hadn''t been for Ryan protecting her behind a tree, her


    entire body would definitely have been riddled with holes by the bullets.


    Sharon was in a hurry to find Stanley in the midst of the battle. There were too many people, and


    she had to be on guard against bullets. For a moment, she couldn''t find him.


    The sky turned bright, and the day was about to break.


    There was a smell of blood in the fresh air, and one could almost vomit smelling it. Sharon looked at


    the corpses lying on the ground, her teeth chattering.


    "Stanley!"


    She called his name.


    Not far ahead, Stanley''s angry voice rang out. "Ryan, take her away first!"


    Following the voice, Sharon finally saw Stanley standing behind the wooden house. It was a bit too


    far away for her to see him clearly. She was so worried that she wanted to go to his side, but she


    knew that she couldn''t create any trouble for him now.


    "Miss Cruz, let''s go!"


    Ryan yelled in her ear, "Stanley is trying to buy us some time. If we miss this chance, none of us


    can escape."


    Sharon also wanted to leave, but her legs weren''t cooperating; she couldn''t move a single step. In


    her heart, she was too worried about Stanley.


    She started tearing up; she was so anxious that she didn''t know what to do.


    Stanley stood against the log cabin. Opposite him was Shawn standing behind a tree. Their


    opponents had an abundance of weapons. If they kept fighting like this, they would run out of bullets


    sooner orter.


    Taking a deep breath, Stanley ordered in a low voice, "You! Take her away!"


    Shawn looked at him in disbelief. "Me?"


    "Do you want her to die here?"


    "No, I don''t."


    "Then take her away!"


    Shawn fell silent. If Stanley was there to hold up their enemies, Shawn was indeed confident that he


    could bring Sharon with him... It came as a surprise to him that Stanley would actually do this.


    Wasn''t he trying to kill him and get rid of him? Why did he want him to bring Sharon along now?


    Stanley''s face was full of haze. "It''s time to settle the matters between me and Isai. You bring


    Sharon to the southeast, and I''ll go look for you after I''ve finished with the matters here. Don''t you


    dare bring Sharon to other ces. I''ll hunt you down if you do so!"


    At this point, he looked over with a hint of killing intent in his eyes. "The next time we meet, you''ll


    die."


    Hearing this, Shawn smiled and said, "Now this is the Stanley I know." After that, he paused and


    asked, "Are you sure you can do it alone?"


    "Stop bullshitting! Just go! Protect her and don''t let anything happen to her. The kids are still waiting


    for her toe home."


    Shawn looked at him in surprise. After taking a deep breath, he nodded, took out a few magazine


    clips and a gun from his pocket, and said, "Watch out!"


    Stanley raised his hand and caught it. Without saying a word, he gripped the gun in his hand tightly.


    Without saying anything further, Shawn turned around and ran in Sharon''s direction.


    Although the sky was bright, it was notpletely bright yet. The fog in the forest was thick. Sharon


    watched a person running towards her from a distance. She thought it was Stanley, so she ran


    towards him joyfully, but her facial expression changed drastically as she approached him.


    To her dismay, it was not Stanley, but Shawn.


    She turned around subconsciously, but Shawn grabbed her wrist and dragged her away


    immediately.


    Sharon yelled, "Let go! What are you doing?"


    Ryan chased after him and almost shot him. However, Shawn said calmly, "Stanley asked me to


    take her away. Are you sure you want to do something to me now?"


    Confused, Ryan looked at him and slowly put down the gun in his hand.


    Sharon didn''t believe what she had heard. "You''re lying. Stanley won''t let you take me away!"


    "He asked me toe for you. If I''m lying, don''t you think I would have been shot by now?"


    Sharon was silent.


    "He is now under attack from both sides. If he doesn''t cooperate with me, it''s very likely that


    everyone can''t leave here." Shawn took her to the depths of the forest. Seeing the hesitation and


    resistance on her face, he pursed his lips and said, "Don''t worry, he wille for you."


    Sharon was startled.


    She was in a daze when Shawn took her all the way out; Sharon was so tired that she couldn''t


    catch her breath. She flung Shawn''s hand away and sat down on the ground, enduring the pain.


    Regardless of whether there was mud or not, she sat down and was lost in thought with her knees


    in her arms.


    After a long time, Stanley still hadn''t caught up. Could it be that something... had happened to him?


    With her face buried in her knees, Sharon kept telling herself not to overthink it. There would


    definitely nothing wrong. He had promised her that he would take her back with him.


    She had to believe in him; She had to believe that he would return to her side.


    "Take some people to take a look around."


    Shawn whispered to William. Knowing that Sharon couldn''t leave now, they decided to stop here.

    William nodded, and led a few people away from the tall grass.


    Then, Ryan sat down next to Sharon. He lowered her voice and said, "Miss Cruz, don''t worry. I will


    protect you."


    Sharon took a deep breath, raised her head, and looked into Ryan''s eyes. "I''m fine. I''m worried...


    about Stanley."


    Hearing that, Ryan fell silent. The situation just now had been too dangerous. He couldn''t be certain


    if Stanley was in danger or not.


    Once he became silent, Sharon''s heart began to grow more uneasy. Ayer of cold sweat began to


    form on her palm. She grabbed Ryan''s hand as though she was holding onto dear life. "He''s so


    strong. He''ll definitely be fine, right?"


    "Right. He''ll definitely be fine." Ryan didn''t want to say anything to cause her more anxiety and


    hence he nodded.


    Hearing what he said, Sharon waspletely stunned. Her face went nk and her eyes were


    empty as if she had lost her soul.


    Ryan knew that he was too impulsive and that he wasn''t convincing enough. He was a little anxious


    and couldn''t help but try to persuade her. "I''m serious. Although I haven''t known Stanley for a long


    time, I still have to believe in his abilities. He won''t be in trouble. Don''t think too much about it...”


    Ryan didn''t have much contact with women, and he didn''t know how tofort them at all. After


    saying a few words like this, he was at wit''s end on what to say.


    Sitting there in a daze, Sharon then slowly calmed down. She nodded, "You''re right, he''ll definitely


    be


    fine."


    Her voice was low as if she wasn''t answering Ryan, but rather muttering to herself.


    Sitting next to her, Ryan let out a sigh.


    Shawn stood in a corner. After looking at Sharon for a while, he came up to her and handed a bottle


    to her saying, "Drink some water."


    Sharon sat motionless, and it seemed she was unaware of what he said. She murmured to herself,


    "He''s definitely going to be fine..."


    As time went by, William came back with his people, saying that the surrounding area was safe and


    there was no one around. About an hourter, the sun hung high in the sky, and it was close to


    noon. William brought some people to find some fruits, some nourishment to satisfy their hunger.


    Shawn came up to Sharon with a kettle and fruit in hand. Sharon still looked the same, as if she


    hadn''t seen him. Shawn''s face darkened. He squatted down in front of her and lifted her dry lips,


    nning to pour water directly into her mouth.
