“Elliot, there, up ahead! That’s the car! We need to catch
up!" Matthew barked, his eyes zing with determination as
he locked his gaze on the vehicle ahead.
Inside the car, Ivan noticed the pursuing vehicle in the
rearview mirror. Without hesitation, he mmed his foot on
the elerator, his eyes shing with malice.
If not for the tracker he had secretly
nted ot Judy, he would have ￠ o
never made it out of the Darling>
family’s estate alive. Judy had“nearly
costiim everything with hero
brainless actions.
----
But Danielle... she kept ruining their ns, and now she
even knew how to hypnotize people.
As the car behind closed the gap, Ilvan’s expression
remained calm. He wasn’t worried. Aside from Elliot and
Danielle, none of the Darling family had anything to worry
about.
Elliot’s vehicle sped up, blocking Ivan’s path.
“Make sure you both stay alert when you get out. Ivan has
been hiding in the Darling family for years. He’s not
someone we can take lightly," Elliot warned Matthew and
Austin.
"Got it, got it. We’ll catch him," Austin answered
enthusiastically, but before Elliot could react, Austin had
already dashed out of the car.
----
Elliot was speechless. He’d just wasted his breath.
Austin banged on lvan’s car window, his face clouded with
anger. "Get out of the car! You’ve betrayed the Darling
family, and now you’re trying to escape? This is the end for
you!"
“You’re not going anywhere. If you think you can dodge your
fate by staying in the car, think again," Matthew added, his
voice cold as he stepped up to the front of the car.
lvan’s lips curled into a twisted grin. "Three of you? You
think you’re going to take me down all at once? Fine, let’s
see how Elliot fares.”
The car door swung open, and Ivan stepped out, smiling.
“Gentlemen, to what do I owe the pleasure?"
----
"Austin, enough of the games. Judy
has already spilled everything. o
You’re ait undercover agent, and
you’ll pay for your betrayal. DoYyou
havecanyst words?" Austin’s voice
was dripping with disgust-
Ivan maintained his sinister smile. "Austin, when you’re
throwing threats around, you better have the power to back
them up. Otherwise, the next person to die will be you."
Before Austin could even blink, lvan swung a punch directly
at his face.
----
Elliot, watching Ivan’s every move, reacted instantly,
blocking the punch and preventing Austin from taking the
blow.
But it was all a diversion. lvan’s fist contained a fine powder,
which he flung into the air, hitting Austin and Matthew
directly.
Secondster, the two guys began to copse, their limbs
turning to jelly, their breaths quick and shallow, foam spilling
from their mouths as they crumpled to the ground.
Elliot heard the sickening thuds as they fell, and turned just
in time to see his two brothers incapacitated. Ivan... you’ll
pay for this.
----
This,” Ivan said with a twisted grin, "is the price they paid
for provoking me. I don’t take kindly to being threatened.
Consider it their one-way ticket to hell."
Elliot’s fury reached its peak, but there was also a trace of
concern. Why had Austin and Matthew acted so recklessly?
They were usually so calm.
“You hurt my brothers,” Elliot growled, eyes zing. "Now
you’re going to join them."
With a single, furious punch, Elliot lunged at Ivan.
But before the blow couldnd, Ivan drew a gun, aiming it
directly at Elliot.
----
“Elliot, it’s your turn to join your brothers,” Ivan said, his
voice dripping with venom.
Elliot ducked and dodged the bullets that whizzed past him,
narrowly avoiding them.
But just as things were reaching a breaking point, a Bugatti
roared onto the scene, screeching to a halt. The driver’s
window rolled down, and a figure emerged from the car.
Danielle, with a calm expression,
raised hetgun and fired three shots
in quick’Session. The first stot
hit lva?’s wrist, the second strack his
leg,é and the third mmed ito his
bask.
----
The car swerved, its tail end swinging out dramatically as it
came to a stop.
Ivan didn’t have time to react. He dropped to the ground,
unable to even process what had happened before Elliot
was on him, pinning him down.
