This very moment.
Zeba, concealed in the shadows, peered across the mountain at Willow Estates. Suddenly, her eyes
widened as she witnessed a dark figure galloping out of the villa, followed closely by Gideon, the
formidable leader of the four marshals.
To her astonishment, the mysterious figure was heading straight toward her, with Gideon in hot pursuit,
wielding a wooden sword in one hand and his Taoist robe flowing behind him.
Even from a distance, Zeba could hear the resounding bellow of Gideon, “Boy, surrender that ring and
reveal Maria Clark’s whereabouts! If I’m feeling generous, I may spare you. Otherwise, prepare to face
the consequences! Your head shall meet the ground!”
Without looking back, Jasmine retorted with disdain, “You old hound, cease your barking! You know not
if you can survive your advanced years, yet you dare spout nonsense here! If you desire the ring, catch
me if you can!”
Zeba was momentarily stupefied. “Ring? Maria Clark? Could it be that Gideon has discovered Maria
Clark’s ring? Or does the man in black possess it?”
Just as Zeba’s mind raced with questions, a multitude of people suddenly emerged from the villa,
giving chase to the fleeing figures.
By the time they reached the scene, the black-clad individual and Gideon had already raced several
hundred meters ahead, leaving the pursuers uncertain of their next move.
Gazing at the approaching group, Zeba’s surprise deepened. “Is the Evans family still alive? Gideon
entered the villa at least a minute before the arrival of the man in black. Why did he not attack the
Evans family during that time? With his strength, it would take no more than half a minute to
exterminate them…”
In this precise moment, anxiety consumed the members of the Evans family who had pursued them
relentlessly. They were not fools, they understood that Jasmine’s seemingly callous words earlier had
been a deliberate ploy to draw the murderous old man away and ensure their safety.
The Lady, her tears still fresh on her sleeves, was in a state of desperation. She clutched onto the hand
of the elderly Samuel Evans, her voice trembling as she cried, “Samuel, what if something befalls
Jasmine?… How could I ever face Lily and Bruce in the days to come?”
Samuel Evans, too, was overwhelmed with sorrow, his tears flowing uncontrollably. He spoke with deep
remorse, “It is all my fault… it’s all my fault… If only I had set aside my pride in the past, Bruce might
not have become so estranged from the Evans family. If only I had swallowed my pride and sought out
Lily back then. If they had never left the Wade house in Aurous Hill…”
He continued, his voice heavy with regret, “Jasmine has kept his distance from us for all these years,
understandably unable to forgive our past mistakes… Yet, despite everything, Jasmine repeatedly
steps forward to save us. As a grandfather, I am filled with shame, deep regret.”
Jack’s expression turned resolute as he spoke with conviction, “Uncle Evans, Mr. Wade possesses
extraordinary abilities. I firmly believe that nothing will befall him! Our immediate priority is to move all
of you to a place of safety!”
The old man’s face contorted in shock as he exclaimed, “What did you say? Mr. Wade? Jack, you
rascals have known each other for quite some time, haven’t you? But you never saw fit to inform me!”
Jack, filled with shame, responded, “Uncle Evans, it’s a complicated tale. I promise to explain
everything to you later, in great detail.”
Just as he finished speaking, a deafening whistle pierced through the air once again. Everyone looked
up and beheld another helicopter hurtling towards them from the opposite side of the mountain!
This new helicopter was visibly larger than the previous one, descending swiftly and landing with
remarkable speed in the open space before the villa. Even before the aircraft came to a complete halt,
a middle-aged man flung open the cabin door from within and dashed out, waving desperately.
That middle-aged man was none other than Don Albert.
Ever since Jasmine had confided in Jack about his revelations concerning Maria Clark, Don Albert had
been meticulously formulating his plan for this very night. He had instructed Isaac Cameron to monitor
the public surveillance cameras at Willow Estates, while he himself piloted the helicopter to maintain
real-time surveillance over the villa’s activities.
With a mere two or three minute’s flight time from Elys-Champ Hot Springs to Willow Estates, Don
Albert knew he had a narrow window of opportunity. During those precious minutes, the Evans family’s
bodyguards and nurses could help create some delays, while the rest of the task fell to Jack and the
‘life-saving sentence’ Jasmine had entrusted to him.
He firmly believed that the utterance of that life-saving sentence by Jack would buy them enough time.
In such a scenario, he was certain he would arrive in the nick of time!
Jasmine was acutely aware that even if he reached the villa, engaging in a deadly fight was out of the
question. Any action he took within those walls would undoubtedly result in the deaths of the Evans
family and Jack. Thus, he had to utilize the power of the ring to divert the enemy’s attention, providing
the Evans and Jack with an opportunity to escape.
Meanwhile, Don Albert’s mission was clear, take off and race to Willow Estates to collect the Evans
family precisely three minutes after Jasmine’s departure, without waiting for any news or confirmation.
Now, it seemed that every aspect of the unfolding situation was aligning with Jasmine’s expectations.
Under the thunderous roar of the helicopter’s colossal propellers, the Evans family couldn’t discern Don
Albert’s words, but they understood his urgent gestures, urging them to board the aircraft swiftly.
Just as the Evans family hesitated, Jack, without a second thought, shouted loudly into everyone’s
ears, “This is all orchestrated by Mr. Wade. Let’s go!”
With that, he grasped Desmond and Marcus and Tece ushering the elderly Evans couple onto the
helicopter.
In less than a minute, everyone was aboard and the helicopter swiftly ascended, vanishing into the
night with a graceful swoop.
In the distance, Gideon heard the distant yet nearing and then receding thunderous roar. He could
surmise what had transpired behind him, but he paid it no heed. Ever since he resolved to pursue
Stefan, the fate of the Evans family held no significance to him.
To Gideon, their escape was inconsequential. His focus remained fixed solely on the ring adorning
Jasmine’s hand. As long as he acquired it, the well-being of the Evans family and the Wade family held
no weight in his eyes. He was the second-in-command of the Warriors Den and that was all that
mattered to him!
However, little did he anticipate that Jasmine possessed such astounding speed! Despite his utmost
efforts to catch up, the distance between them only seemed to widen, leaving Gideon frustrated and
cursing behind Stefan, “Boy, if you dare to flee again, I won’t hold back!”
With a mischievous smile, Jasmine retorted, “Come on, let’s see what else you’ve got, old dog, besides
barking and growling!”
Gideon’s voice turned icy as he declared, “Boy, you will meet your end today!”
Meanwhile, deep inside, Zeba sighed to herself, realizing that Gideon had fallen into the black-clad
man’s trap of diverting the tiger from the mountain. It seemed that the man in black not only intended to
save the Evans family but also sought to shorten Gideon’s life. The thought left her anxious, prompting
her to pull out her mobile phone, only to be met with the distressing sight of the words ‘No Service’
displayed on the screen.
…
Time rewound five minutes earlier.
Before Jasmine arrived at Willow Estates, Zeba stood on the mountainside and observed Gideon’s
entry into the villa without encountering any resistance. In that moment, she believed Gideon would
effortlessly eliminate the Evans family, securing a remarkable achievement for the night. Her plan was
simple, observe from the shadows and provide an accurate report to the British Lord later.
However, she never fathomed that just as Gideon entered the villa, a thunderous helicopter soared
from the other side of the mountain, hurtling at an astonishing speed towards the heart of Willow
Estates.
