Ch. 1091..1100: Chapter 1091-1100

"Yawn... I'm completely worn out. This mission is not fun at all."

Suddenly, she heard a soft click and saw the door swinging open.

Then, Billy strode in. The moment he saw Yasmine, who stood up from the cage, a wicked grin crept up his face. "Howdy! Has the drug worn off, my sweet Yasmine? It's just about time. Now, you can serve and pleasure me." Meanwhile, she pretended to be struck with fear. "B-Billy? What are you doing here? Wait a minute. Why am I here?

"The last thing I remember is that the award ceremony's tonight. I drank a glass of wine and felt dizzy. Then, I asked my agent to help me to my hotel room to rest. I shouldn't have" She stopped speaking abruptly.

"Is there something wrong with the glass of wine? Did you ask one of your men to spike my drink, Billy? I can't believe it. You wanted me so bad that you resorted to such loathsome trickery!" She retched internally while she spoke.

'Gah. I'm not cut out for this kind of powerless and vulnerable character, but my boss assigned this mission to me. I have no choice but to suck it up and do it.

'Speaking of, Billy had always used despicable tricks to try to get his grubby paws on me. It's just that I'm smart and dodged them. That's why he didn't get his way. He's such a pervert that he makes me physically ill.

'I wouldn't even have talked to the likes of him if it wasn't for the sake of the mission. I guess it's worth it. I'll have a chance to teach him a lesson when the mission is over.

Her lips twitched.

'Billy is such a narcissistic prick.'

Billy continued to walk closer with a perverted smile on his face. "You don't have to concern yourself with that. All you have to know is that own you tonight. You're going to please me and make sure I have a good time. I promise you'll be rewarded handsomely if you do!"

Noticing how he was basically charging at her, she pretended to be vulnerable and helpless.

"I don't want a reward. Get away from me, now."

"Tsk tsk tsk..." He shook his head, the perverted grin on his face growing all the more intense. "Oh, my sweet Yasmine. Your reaction only makes me want you more." en.swhovels.net

"Come here." He opened his arms wide and said, "Come to Papa. Let me give you the kind of pleasure you've never had before!"

She stuck to her act and ca

to lean backward fearfully. "No.

Don't come over here. Please, I'm begging you. Would you please stand where you are?"

"That's a resounding no, baby." He chuckled before pouncing on her, trying to seize her.

Just as he was about to lay his grubby paws on her, she ducked out of the way swiftly. All he managed to grab was the hem of her dress.

It made him feel as if he was being played for a fool. In a matter of a second, his face fell.

"Stop being so naughty, baby. Come over here and let me love you."Chapter

At the next moment, he charged at her again. She dodged him once more.

The same thing happened over and over again. She could see his face gradually turning red from rage and she grinned.

'What a moron. Does he really think he can catch me? Dream on!'

By then, Billy's patience had reached its limit. The way he glared at her, it looked like he couldn't wait to flay her skin right there and then.

"You have better come over here before I get mad. Otherwise, you're going to pay dearly when I start getting serious!"

Chapter 1092

Yasmine sniffed, her eyes turning red.

"I'm begging you, Billy. Let me go."

"Heh..." A malicious grin crept up his face as he spoke. "I spent 130 million dollars on you and yet, here you are, asking me to set you free. Do you think it's going to happen?"

With that, he gripped her arm tightly before flinging her to the bed.

She went along with the momentum and allowed herself to fall onto the bed.Chapter

As he took menacing steps toward her, she pretended to be scared and crawled backward. Eventually, she reached the edge and there was nowhere else to go. All she could do was stare at him tearfully. "Please, Billy. I'm begging you. Let me go."

However, he had no such intentions. Reaching out, he was about to grope her supple breasts.

That was when she quietly reached behind the back of his neck and struck him fiercely.

"Ah!" He let out a guttural scream before passing out from the sneak attack.

Meanwhile, she looked at Billy, who was unconscious and lying on the bed listlessly. Then, she sneered and withdrew her hand.

"Heh! It's like taking candy from a baby! You don't have what it takes to do anything to me, Billy."

After that, she pulled out something she had prepared beforehand and an antique pocket watch. Then, she propped him up to a sitting pose and struck two of his vital points.

All of a sudden, his eyes snapped open, and he stared straight into her eyes.

Anyone would've been freaked out when they saw something like this, but not Yasmine. She was used to something like this. Crossing her feet, she sat on the bed and swung the watch slowly in front of his eyes, hypnotizing him.

Eventually, his expression gradually grew dull. It was time. So, she started asking him a few simple questions.

Billy answered everything correctly. That meant the hypnosis was a success.

She proceeded to wait several seconds longer.

Realizing that he wasn't sobering up, she asked him the important questions.

"Rumor has it that your organization

lent a hand to someone called Falcon recently, Billy. He holds a chip as well as a bank card that has 1.6 billion dollars in it. Have you

these things before?"

He shook his head in response. "I-I've seen the chip, b-but not the bank card. In fact, I didn't know that he had that kind of money with him."

'How cunning. This Falcon character

is smart enough to keep some things to himself. After all, the whole world knows that he has the chips, but no one knows that he has 1.6 billion dollars with him.

'That's why he wouldn't dare to spend it for the time being. Actually, the chip matters more than the money.'

"Did you guys try to crack the chip, then?"

He frowned in response. It seemed that he was fighting hard not to respond to this particular question. However, he gave her the answer eventually.

"We did!"

She asked again, "Have you guys gotten anywhere with it?"

"N-No. The last two passwords were too complicated. N-Not even my lackeys, who are professional technicians, could crack it." His forehead was covered with sweat as he spoke. It was a sign of him resisting her questioning. Frowning, she hurried on to ask the next big question.

"Where's Falcon now? Does he have the chip? Or, are you guys holding onto it?"

Billy's brows knitted tightly as beads of sweat rolled down the side of his forehead.

He parted his lips as if he was about to answer the question. However, he was resisting her so much on the inside that his body started exhibiting unusual signs.

Realizing that he could break out of her hypnosis at any time, she swung the pocket watch in front of him and tried hypnotizing him again.

"Tell me what I want to know, and I'll give you the thing you want the most.”

He was still wrestling with himself, sweating profusely as he did.

Her frown grew deeper.

'Surprise, surprise. I didn't count on him to be this mentally fortified. Eve hypnotized him for this long, and yet he's still keeping his mouth shut. I have no other choices now. l have to use that move.'

She proceeded to hit several of his vital points before swinging the pocket watch in front of his eyes at a faster rate this time.

Chapter 1093

Bonnie, who was hiding behind the curtains, was shocked.

'Here I was, thinking Yasmine was a harmless, helpless lady. It turns out she's actually immensely capable. Dangerous, even.

'I've studied hypnosis a little. Nothing too deep, honestly. But, even I can tell that the hypnosis she's employing right now is something that was lost to time. 'This particular hypnosis required a complete mastery in order to wield it. If she makes so much as a misstep, then Billy might end up a drooling fool.

'From the looks of it, however, she's very proficient. Obviously, she has done it quite frequently.

'She had won the Oscars as well as the adoration from countless fans. However, she's adept at wielding an extremely intricate hypnosis.

'The juxtaposition of her current action and her reputation doesn't make sense. I wonder what's her real identity. What's more, she even brought up the chip and the 1.6 billion dollars.

'Is it possible that one of the competing organizations sent her here to snatch the chip away from us?'

Bonnie was no longer sure if she should save Yasmine. 'I think it's wiser for me to stay back and see how things unfold.'

She was still in the middle of her thoughts when Yasmine finished the hypnosis.

Then, Yasmine continued to ask Billy about the chip.

This time, he finally muttered something, "Chip. The chip...'

"Where is it?" She leaned in closer to him.

All of her sudden, she had a sinking feeling in her gut. Her sixth sense told her to duck away swiftly.

Once she got a good look, she saw that Billy was pointing a dagger at her, his face was brimming with an unfeeling coldness and menace.Chapter

His eyes were so vicious, as if he was about to cut her to ribbons at any given time.

Her heart skipped a beat. 'I thought I managed to hypnotize him. How did it fail?'

She hopped off the bed swiftly as she racked her brain for an answer.

Standing from the bed, he said, "How dare you try to fool me with such petty tricks? I've known for a long time that you aren't an ordinary lady.

"Imagine my surprise when I found out you harbor such an incredible secret! Who on earth sent you here to hypnotize me and collect

Ov

information about the chip?!"

Yasmine decided to ditch her act and stopped pretending to be a helpless, vulnerable lady. Her lips curled into a cold grin when she spoke,

"Do you really want to know? You'll have to catch me first."

Bonnie heard what Yasmine said and felt impressed.

'Yasmine is kind of forthright and bold. I her. I'd love to

friends with her if heret

and

with her if her let

mine don't turn out to

rivals.'

"Heh..." Billy sneered. "You're thinking that I can't capture you."

At the next moment, he fished something out of his pocket and pressed on it.

Wee-oo, Wee-oo...

The entire room... Nay, the entire underground market was blaring with a high-pitched noise from the security alarm.

It sounded so shrill that it unnerved everyone who heard it.

The bodyguards who were guarding the door, as well as those patrolling the perimeters, heard it and raced upstairs.

"Something went wrong over at Mr. Billy's room! Get a move on, guys!"

"Move your asses to the top floor!"

"Go, now!"

A group of bodyguards rushed upstairs.

She saw through the window the frightening number of bodyguards making their way there and felt the hair on the back of her neck stood up.

Chapter 1094

At the same time, Ivor raised his hand and checked the time.

Looking sideways, he said to Floyd, "If Yasmine is as capable as I know she is, she should've gotten the information by now. Get in touch with her and send someone to get her out of that place." "Roger, Mr. Ivor," Floyd responded and pulled his phone out.

He gave a call to her, but no one answered it. His face fell as he raised his head and stared at his boss.

"What should I do, Mr. Ivor? I can't reach her."

"Huh?" He frowned and pulled out a communication device that was exclusive to his organization.

He contacted her to no avail.

"This is bad. She must've run into some trouble." His brows knitted tighter as he spoke. "Pull the car around. I have to go there and see what's going on."

"Copy that." Floyd was perfectly aware that they couldn't afford to lose a single minute. So, he left to do his boss's bidding.

Before long, they hit the road and were on their way to the underground market.

Meanwhile, Yasmine stared as the bodyguards swarmed their way to her room.

She frowned slightly and asked, "Did you set the whole thing up with Micah just so you could lure me into a trap?"

The fact was that it didn't take a genius to figure that out.

After all, Billy was the leader of the District Nine organization. If Micah wanted to win his favor, he could've just served her on a silver platter, instead of auctioning her off.

'It's a shame that the drug he gave me hampered my good sense. That's why I didn't even pause to think about it and fell into their trap!'

"Looks like you're not that big of a fool, Yasmine. It's just that you're not smart enough to figure us out, either." A thick sense of menace was brimming in his eyes. Clenching his fists, he charged at her.

On the other hand, she was ready to take him on. In a matter of seconds, both of them were locked in combat.Chapter

To his surprise, she was a very tough fighter. He couldn't gain the upper hand in this brawl.

เวน

The menace in his expression intensified as he spoke, "I've underestimated you, Ms. Best. Actress! With that said, it doesn't matter that I can't overpoweryou. I've got reinforcements."

"Heh!" Yasmine sneered and wagged her finger at him. "Stop fighting like a chicken and come at me!"

He sneered in response. "All of my men are rushing here right now. Shouldn't you be groveling at my feet and begging for mercy? Are you sure you want to keep taunting me?" He inched closer toward her as he spoke.

"If you ask me, you should get down on your knees and tell me everything I want to know. I can see my way of sparing your life if you tell me who sent you and please me on the bed." "Who asked you?" Yasmine lifted her chin proudly. "Who do you think you are? Why should I listen to anything you say?"

"Why, you little-" He was so enraged that his face turned dark. "Looks like you want to do this the hard way, huh? You're going to pay for this!"

"I'm here, aren't I? Stop messing

l

around and come at me with everything you've got." All she wanted to do was end this fight quickly and find an escape route. She had no intention to waste her time talking with him.

"You'll die for this!" Clenching his fists, he threw himself at her.

She held no punches and fought him with everything she had. Both of them were evenly matched and fought to a tie.

All of a sudden, a loud bang could be heard.

Billy's bodyguards kicked the door open. All of them were shocked when they saw their leader in a tussle with Yasmine. "W-What are you doing fighting with Yasmine, Mr. Billy? Aren't you supposed to be having your way with her?"

"She's a spy. Get the fuck over here

and fucking seize her now!" Billy's patience was reaching its end.

because he spent a long time

fighting her and got no closer to subduing her.

"She's a spy?!"

Then, his bodyguards fanned out and surrounded her while closing in on her at the same time.

"What are you guys waiting for? Do it, now. She mustn't escape! I'll send all of you to the basement and torture you there if she fucking gets away!" Clearly, he had lost his patience entirely.

His bodyguards heard what he said and didn't dare to linger. At the next moment, they swarmed over Yasmine and attacked her.

Chapter 1095

At first, Yasmine could fend the bodyguards off. However, it started draining her when they kept swarming to her, outnumbering her. "Phew!"Chapter

She had just taken a breath when another bodyguard charged at her. Fists after fists swung her way and hit her, all of them as big as a boulder.

Her stamina was about to be completely drained. She realized she could no longer fight them as hard as she did, so she had to move swiftly and dodge their attacks.

Just as she ducked backward, her strained feet couldn't support her weight and momentum. She wobbled.

Billy saw it and his lips curled into a cold, malicious grin. Then, he pulled out a pistol and aimed it at her.

Bonnie, who was hiding behind the curtain, saw what he was going to do and decided she couldn't keep hiding forever.

'It doesn't matter if Yasmine is friend or foe, she's an Arvandorian, same as me. I'll do my good deed of the day and lend her a hand.'

She was still in the middle of her thoughts when she saw Billy was about to pull the trigger. She barked immediately, "Watch out!"

Nobody expected someone else to be here. Bonnie's disguised presence startled everyone.

Yasmine was stunned, too. It only lasted a moment, though. She snapped out of her trance and saw the pistol Billy was aiming at her.

At the next moment, she ducked out of the way. To her surprise, he had predicted where she'd dodge to and fired the pistol.

"Bang!"

The bullet soared through the air and buried itself firmly into one of Yasmine's thighs.

"Argh!" She let out a blood-curdling scream.

Yasmine started sweating profusely. She curled up and backed off into the corner slowly as she clutched her thigh, blood oozing out of the bullet wound.

'I can't believe that Billy can predict where she was going to dodge. It was impossible to guard myself against him!'

Even Bonnie was surprised that Yasmine still got hurt, even after she reminded the latter about the imminent attack.

Then, she pulled out a smoke

grenade from her pouch and tossed

it to the crowd. In a matter of a

second, smoke filled the entire room, disorienting everyone and obstructing their vision temporarily.

Billy raised his voice and barked, "Yasmine has an ally. Keep your senses sharp and pinpoint their location. Don't let them escape!"

"Roger!" His bodyguards responded to him in unison.

Be that as it may, Bonnie had augmented her smoke grenade. Not only did it disorient its victims, but it also blinded them for a short time.

That was why his bodyguards

weren't able to see anything, let

alone capture her and Yasmine.. Even Yasmine's vision was shrouded in darkness, while the pain on her thigh continued to intensify.

'Billy might've claimed that I have an ally, but I know for a fact that I came alone. So, I can't be sure if the person who let loose a smoke grenade is a friend or foe.

'I mean, what I am going to do if the person turns out to have some ill intentions for me?

'I'm a tough lady and I don't scare

easily, but I have to say that fear is creeping into me right now. Oh dear. Howd wish someone could lend me a hand in this kind of situation.' en.swhovels.net

She was still in the middle of her thoughts when someone swooped her up. Then, she heard a charming voice.

"Wrap your arms around my neck, I'm getting you out of here."

That stunned Yasmine. Raising her head, she looked at the person and saw his sexy Adam's apple as well as a defined jawline.

It looked like her savior was a handsome guy.

She couldn't explain it, but she felt very safe in his presence.

Chapter 1096

On top of that, her savior's arms might not have been thick and strong, but it was the kind of arm she wanted in her future boyfriend! Sensing Yasmine's intense gaze, Bonnie lowered her eyes and looked at her.

"Don't stare at me like that. I'm not used to it."

The moment Bonnie lowered her head, Yasmine saw how delicate and graceful she looked and was stunned even more.Chapter

"Y-You're such a handsome man."

Yasmine had spent a lot of time in the entertainment industry. Naturally, she had seen countless handsome, stunning men. However, she was rooted to the spot when she saw the "man" before her!

"This is not the time for this, miss." A sense of helplessness flashed in Bonnie's eyes. "Also, would you please stop staring at me? You're making me feel uneasy, and that's going to distract me from what we're doing right now."

Yasmine had been staring at what she thought was a handsome man boldly, but she averted her gaze at once.

'Geez. He can't blame me for that. After all, he's just too dreamy. He's like a piece of art that's flawlessly delicate. I just can't get enough of looking at him.'

Bonnie sensed that Yasmine was no longer staring at her as boldly as she had a second ago. So, she carried her out of the room.

Once they were out of the room as well as the bodyguards' sights, she headed toward an abandoned warehouse and holed up there. She made sure that there were some windows for a handy getaway before barricading the door with some heavy objects and locking it. The moment she was done with all of that, she made her way over to Yasmine.

"Give me your foot."

Yasmine was stunned for a while. "My foot? Are you going to—"

Before she could finish, Bonnie cut her off. "I'm going to check the bullet wound on your thigh. I don't have other intentions. So, please don't misunderstand me..."

Bonnie rubbed her brows, trying to stave off a headache. 'Yasmine's prone to imagination so wild that it's hard for me to keep up with her sometimes.'

Yasmine cleared her throat out of

embarrassment. 'That seems right. He's clearly a guy who has rid himself of such primitive desires. So, why would he harbor the same dirty thoughts the way the other man did?

*Also, he saved me. How could I think of him in that manner?'

Noticing that Yasmine was still in a daze and not moving at all, Bonnie couldn't help but remind her again. "Give me your foot."

That snapped Yasmine out of it. She extended her injured foot hastily and said, "Um. Pardon me. Thanks for your help."

Her face was laced with shyness and her sparkling eyes were trained on Bonnie.

"Don't mention it," Bonnie said with a blank expression. She held Yasmine's ankle and examined the bullet wound.

About three minutes later, she withdrew her hand and pulled out a bottle of medicinal powder.

"It might sting when I pour the powder onto your wound. I need you to bear with it and grit your teeth until the pain clears. It won't hurt at all after that.” Realizing that Bonnie was very proficient with it, a hint of surprise flashed in Yasmine's eyes.

"This is surprising. Not only are you agile, but you possess quite an extensive knowledge of medicine. Do countless girls just throw themselves at you?"

"Not really." Bonnie poured the powder on Yasmine's thigh and chatted with her at the same time

She was Worried that the pain would be too great for the latter to bear, so she tried to divert her attention by chit-chatting.

"I don't exactly have a lot of ladies interested in me.”

Chapter 1097

"I'm afraid I don't believe you." Yasmine stared at Bonnie with unblinking eyes.

"You've got such good looks that countless ladies must've tried putting their moves on you. I work in the entertainment industry. So, I'm perfectly aware of how important looks are."

"Naturally, but I'm more intrigued by someone if they're interesting to be around with." Bonnie saw that the powder was about to seep into the bullet wound and couldn't help but ask her, "How does it feel now? Does it hurt?"

Yasmine noticed where Bonnie was looking. So, she followed her gaze.Chapter

Blood was still oozing out of her wound. She didn't feel anything a second ago, but suddenly she felt a great deal of pain.

"Ugh..."

She tried hard to hold it in. In the end, however, she couldn't do it anymore and groaned painfully. Beads of sweat covered her forehead.

"I-It hurts a lot."

Bonnie's brows furrowed. "This shouldn't be happening. The powder is supposed to help with the pain. Why did it do the opposite and intensify your pain this much?" Holding Yasmine's hand, she checked her pulse. Before long, she found the heart of the issue. "Did you take something to fight against the drug they spiked you with?" Yasmine gritted her teeth, turned her head sideways, and clamped up. She might've been very grateful for Bonnie, but there were some things she just couldn't say. Meanwhile, Bonnie read her expression and got the answer she wanted nonetheless.

"I didn't notice it because it has been a long time since you took that medicine. It wasn't until after you felt an intense pain from my powder that I realized it."

"W-What's causing it?" The pain was so excruciating that Yasmine felt as if she could die at any moment. In fact, she had never felt this level of pain in her whole life.

"That's because the medicine you took reacts negatively to one of the ingredients in my powder." Bonnie said and soothed her, "With that said, there's no cause for alarm. It will hurt a little, but it won't damage your body or anything like that."

"A little? I-I'm holding back tears as we speak." Yasmine gritted her teeth as sweat continued to roll down the side of her forehead.

In order to distract herself, she made a playful remark at Bonnie. "B-But, the pain is more bearable because you're here with me." "Really? That's wonderful!" Bonnie pulled out a dagger from her pouch.

Yasmine was calm and collected most of the time, but even she was spooked by Bonnie's actions.

"W-What are you going to do?"

'He might not have looked like a bad

guy. On top of that, he's so

handsome that it's impossible for him to be a bad guy. However, Ljust can't understand what he's doing. It unnerves me a bit that I have no idea what he's about to do next.

"I'm going to take the bullet out of your thigh, of course. It didn't bury itself too deep into your foot, so we have to seize this opportunity and do it now. Otherwise, we won't have the time to do something like this if Billy's bodyguards catch up to us. "More importantly, you're in danger of losing your foot. The bullet might not have penetrated your bone, but it lodged itself in a critical spot. Your foot is going to lose its function if

we don't take it out while we still

can."

Bonnie was going to perform the crude, minor surgery, but she saw the expression on Yasmine's face and stopped in her tracks.

"With that said, this is your foot. Now that I've told you about the consequences, it's your call. I'm not going to push you to do it."

Yasmine gritted her teeth and took a couple seconds before she made up her mind. "G-Go ahead and take the bullet out! I'll bear with the pain!"

"No worries. This isn't going to hurt much." Bonnie soothed her.

For a moment there, Yasmine wasn't sure if she should cry or laugh in response. "Have you forgotten how you told me that the powder wasn't going to hurt me? Well, guess what happened?!" "It's different this time." Bonnie waved the dagger on top of her thigh.

"How is it different?" Yasmine asked, puzzled.

At the same time, Bonnie had already taken the bullet out with perfect precision.

"There we go. I've gotten the bullet out."

Chapter 1098

"Did you take the bullet out already?" Yasmine gawked at the bloody bullet that Bonnie extracted from her thigh. "Why didn't I feel any pain, though?"

"Well. Taking the bullet out would've caused you a sharp pain that only lasted a second, but your pain from earlier overshadowed it. That's why you didn't feel anything when I took it out."

Bonnie took another medicinal powder out and poured it on Yasmine's thigh before bandaging up her wound.

Needless to say, Bonnie was being humble. A huge reason Yasmine was spared the pain was because Bonnie was extremely proficient at this.

Yasmine watched as Bonnie wrapped her wound like a professional. She felt overwhelmed with admiration.

"You're so awesome. It feels like you just know everything."

"This isn't anything special. It's just a minor surgery." Bonnie waved modestly.

That only served to make Yasmine like her even more.

"I might not have known anything about medicine, but I've witnessed doctors performing surgeries with my own eyes. You haven't shown much, but what you did is enough to tell me that you've surpassed ordinary doctors."

Bonnie raised her eyebrows. "You've witnessed doctors performing surgeries with your own eyes? This isn't something a celebrity should've had the chance to see under normal circumstances. Just who—" She was about to ask who Yasmine really was, but she couldn't say it because she heard someone trying to kick the door down.

Thud thud thud!

Then it was followed by a ruckus.

"I know for a fact that the door to this warehouse has always remained open. Now, however, someone has locked it up. They're probably in there. Put your backs into it and kick down the door." "Get a move on! Mr. Billy said he wanted both of them alive so he could interrogate them and find out who they served. Don't let them escape again."

"Throw your weight behind the door! It'll break down soon if all of us kick together!"

"This isn't working. The door is too sturdy. We have to ram it open."

About ten seconds later, Bonnie and Yasmine could hear something thrusting against the door, producing a dull sound.

The door, which was shut tight a second ago, was showing subtle signs of being forced open.

Yasmine's face turned pale for a second before she turned and instinctively looked at Bonnie. "What should we do now?"

After she asked, she was shocked

by an entirely different notion. 'I can't

believe it. We haven't known each

other for too long, and yet I've already relied on this man ora subconscious level. Chapter

'I've never felt this way in my life.'

Meanwhile, Bonnie was unperturbed. "See if you can stand."

"Got it." Just hearing Bonnie's composed voice was enough to calm Yasmine down.

Then, she tried to stand up, but she slumped toward the ground due to the excruciating pain in her thigh.

Bonnie acted swiftly and caught her in time. "You can't stand? Is it because the pain is too great to bear?"

They were in a dire situation and Yasmine had no wish to become a burden to Bonnie.

So, she tried standing again, only to sense a spastic pain shooting up from her thigh. She couldn't help but groan painfully as beads of sweat covered her forehead.

Bonnie could tell what Yasmine was thinking and reached out to pat the latter on the shoulder.

"Don't push yourself if you can't stand up. I have a way to get you out of here." Yasmine stared at Bonnie's handsome disguise. All of a sudden, she felt a little dispirited.

"Am I a burden to you? We're already in a dire situation. My foot is just making things—"

Bonnie cut her off and said, "That's enough. This isn't the time to feel sorry for yourself. What matters now is that we make it out of this hellhole in one piece."

Biting her lips, Yasmine nodded furiously.

"Alright! Your word is my command. I'll do everything you ask me to do and not be a burden to you."

"I've never thought of you as a

burden since the moment I decided to save you. So, I want you to stop thinking about yourself in that manner." Bonnie walked over and estimated the height from the window.

Then, she looked for something to stand up on. She found and dragged a chair and said to Yasmine, "Come over here."

Chapter 1099

Yasmine was still mesmerized by what Bonnie said. It filled her with such warmth and strength.

All of a sudden, her eyes were filled with tears. She looked at Bonnie in a daze and remained quiet.

She was so moved that a man would go out of his way to help her.

On the other hand, Bonnie saw that Yasmine wasn't speaking or moving. She couldn't help but frown. "Hmm? Hurry up. We've got no time to lose."

That snapped Yasmine out of her trance. She bore with the pain and limped over to Bonnie. She stopped next to the chair and waited for further instructions.

"I'm here. So, what am I supposed to do now?"

"I'm going to help you to the chair, and you're going to climb onto the window and sit there. Then, I'm going to leap out of it and grab you on the first floor. That way, both of us will be able to get out of here safely."Chapter

"Okay," Yasmine responded.

Pulling herself up with the window sill, Bonnie leaped over to the other side with ease.

Once her feet hit the ground, she shouted at Yasmine. "Jump off."

Yasmine saw how high she was and grew anxious.

"Am I going to smush you if I jump at you?"

"I'll be fine. Hurry up."

A hint of anxiety flashed in Bonnie's eyes. The bodyguards were going to break down the door at any time. On top of that, Yasmine's foot was injured. If she didn't hurry up and jump off the window, they'd capture her, and she could be in real danger.

"Jump, now!" Bonnie couldn't help but say it impatiently.

Taking a deep breath, Yasmine mustered up her courage and said, "Alright! I'm going to jump now."

At the next moment, however, the door was broken down.

Yasmine turned. She was stunned at the sight of the bodyguards swarming into the abandoned warehouse. She wasn't stunned for long, but it was enough for one of them to charge toward her and grab her feet. "Pull her down now. We need to bring her to Mr. Billy."

"Remember, Mr. Billy wanted her alive so he could have his way with her. So no one's using any weapons on her. Use your fists and feet instead. You'll pay a heavy price if something happened to her!"

"Understood. We'll do as Mr. Billy says."

Yasmine heard everything they said and grew panicked. Despite that, she maintained a calm expression.

Then she used her other foot to relentlessly kick the bodyguard.

"L-Let me go! Unhand me!"

The bodyguard's head was kicked heavily

several times. He was pissed off by her assaults and tightened his grip over her foot.

"What are you idiots waiting for? Hurry up and give me a hand!"

The rest of the bodyguards came to their senses and ran over to grab her other foot.

A deep sense of despair rose within Yasmine as she felt the bodyguards dragging and pulling her down from the window.

Turning around, she glanced at the spot where Bonnie was standing, only to find that no one was there right now.

'I guess it's logical that he ran away

when he heard the bodyguards breaking down the door. After all, he did his best to save me earlier. If he barges into the abandoned warehouse to save me again when the situation is so perilous now, he'd be putting himself in unpredictable danger.

'After all, no one would put their lives on the line for the sake of someone else...'

Chapter 1100

Just as Yasmine was wallowing in despair, she saw Bonnie appearing at the door out of the corner of her eyes.

Bonnie, still in her disguise, had guns in both of her hands and opened fire at the group of bodyguards.Chapter

None of them were prepared for this moment. A number of people dropped dead to the ground. Those who survived looked at their fallen comrades and fell into panic. They quickly pulled out their own guns and aimed them at Bonnie.

Yasmine grew anxious and yelled at Bonnie, "Run away, now! Forget about me. Just run!"

She thought, 'He might be powerful, but they outnumber him. On top of that, I'm wounded. There's no way he could win all of them by himself.'

Bonnie pursed her lips and didn't respond to Yasmine. She turned and gave one of the bodyguards nearest to her a roundhouse kick.

Thud!

The bodyguard crashed into the wall. Then, he slid down and coughed up blood.

Her attack made the rest of the bodyguards understand just how formidable she was. All of them got serious and boxed her in.

Bonnie acted quickly and without hesitation. Just as the bodyguards were wondering if they should open fire on her, she pulled the trigger.

Bang, bang, bang!

More bodyguards fell to the floor, dead.

Bonnie moved swiftly toward Yasmine, carried her, and raced toward the hallway. Beads of sweat rolled down the side of Bonnie's head.

All Yasmine knew was that Bonnie looked so manly and heroic right now.

'He doesn't have the typical scent guys have. In fact, there's a faint medicinal smell about him.

However, that smell is manly, as far as I'm concerned. It smells great and makes me feel very safe.'

Yasmine leaned on Bonnie, and they walked on for a while.

She continued to stare at Bonnie's dashing disguise when something popped into her mind. She said, "I turned around and looked at where you stood when one of the bodyguards was about to pull me down. You were nowhere to be seen. I thought you had abandoned me to save your own skin.

"To be honest, I wouldn't have blamed you if that's what you did. After all, you did everything you could to save me. I was the one who couldn't follow your orders."

Bonnie replied, "I've decided I'd save

your life. There's no way I'd abandon

you! I left because I had to retrieve the weapons that I'd stashed over there. I mean, am I supposed to

save you with nothing but my fists?"

There were bodyguards at the underground market entrance. So, no one could've brought weapons in here. However, she brought a couple of guns with her, just in case she needed them. 'Boy, I'm glad that I snuck this trick up my sleeve. Otherwise, I wouldn't have stood a chance at saving Yasmine, even if I went back for her.'

"So, that's what happened. Thank you." Yasmine admired Bonnie even more now.

'How is it that there's such a decent, responsible, and reliable guy in this world? He's almost as awesome as my boss.'

Bonnie carried her through the side path and brought her to a pitch-black alley.

Realizing that they had made it out of the underground market, a hint of bewilderment appeared in Yasmine's eyes.

"D-Did we make it out?"

"Yeah. We're out of the underground market now," Bonnie said in her usual calm tone. "Now, I'm going to send you somewhere safe. Where do you want to go?"

"A-Aren't you going to stay with me?" Yasmine asked instinctively.

Bonnie heard what she said and couldn't help but giggle. Raising her eyebrow, she asked, “Why should I stay with you?"
