Chapter 777
“Is it you?” Aaron and Lily were both staggered in shock!
The man before them was the same one who had battled with Lily last time,
leaving her gravely wounded and abducting Marilla—the hitman!
Now he appeared again, his mere presence enough to send shivers down Lily's
spine, even though he stood motionless.
At this moment, Aaron's eyes were wide with disbelief, fixed intently on Hans
familiar yet foreign face.
It was the spitting image of Hubery's face.
“Just now, if you had taken your shot, taken out any one of them, you might've
had a chance to catch up. Pity, you didn't.”
Hans* eyes were frosty, his hands idly tucked in the pockets of his black leather
jacket, his tone dripping with scorn for Aaron, “That's why I've never had much
respect for you cops. Even with the power to punish the wicked, you waver and
second-guess, all to preserve your own skin. Now, you're too late to catch up.”
“Who the hell are you?" Aaron's forehead was beaded with sweat, his voice
fierce.
“A dead man walking doesn’t benefit from knowing more.”
A cold glint passed through Hans’ eyes and with a swift motion, he charged at
Aaron!
“Lily! Go after them! And tell my sister and Thaddeus, Marilla’s in danger!”
Aaron shouted to Lily as he narrowly dodged Hans* lethal punch!
Lily nodded, her eyes filled with urgency. As much as she worried for

Aaron, sticking around would mean losing the kidnapper for good. And she
couldn't overpower this terrifying man; it would only hold them back!
Splitting up was the only shot at a sliver of hope!
However, just a few steps into her sprint, another figure in black, wearing a ski
mask, blocked her path.
The silhouette suggested a woman.
“Get out of my way!” Lily's eyes were bloodshot with desperation to save Marilla!
Lily had an old injury, but she still used her full strength, and her attack was fast
and ruthless, whoosh!
But the woman was also very cunning. She dodged nimbly, using soft tricks to
restrain Lily's aggression.
Lily's eyes were bloodthirsty and scarlet, and her killing heart suddenly appeared.
She pulled out the folded dagger from behind her waist and
stabbed the woman in front of her without hesitation.
However, what she never expected was that the woman didn’t hide and just take
this knife!
“Uh-!” She let out a painful whimper.
The knife pierced her collarbone half an inch down.
Just because the surrounding darkness had poor vision, otherwise it will hit her
hard, and she was likely to die on the spot!
Lily's pupils shrank fiercely.
She didn’t believe that this woman couldn't dodge, and even if she couldn't
dodge, she wouldn't be hurt so badly!

“Go. Wye's abandoned old factory. The person you are looking for should be
kidnapped there.”
The woman panted, but pushed her hard, “Go!”
Lily stared at her weak but bright eyes, nodded vigorously, got up and
ran away.
Meanwhile, Aaron and Hans exchanged blows furiously, but Aaron was quickly
losing ground.
In his years as a cop, all the thugs he'd nabbed combined couldn't match this
one man’s prowess-a veritable god of war!
People usually tire the more they fight, but this guy seemed to get more
energized, like he was on some kind of high!
“Ugh-I"
Hans* spinning kick sent Aaron tumbling to the ground.
Then, out of nowhere, Hans produced a gleaming military knife, its blade
catching the dim light of the night with a sinister gleam.
As the man leaped forward, Aaron, sprawled on the ground, quickly drew his gun,
gripping it firmly and aiming straight at his head,
“Don’t move!”
In that instant, Aaron lay on the ground with Hans kneeling over him, a sharp
knife raised high, aimed straight at Aaron's heart.
“Go ahead, shoot.”
Hans was unafraid, even smiling mockingly, “If you shoot, all your troubles
disappear. Go on.”
Aaron was soaked in cold sweat, breathing hard, his usually steady hands
trembling.

This man, when he smiled, it was as if Hubery's face and laughter were right in
front of him.
“You've missed your chance again. Goodbye, Mr. Officer.”
The smile on Hans" lips hadn't even faded when his knife lunged towards Aaron's
chest.
“Hubery!”
With a shattered look of despair, Aaron couldn't help but cry out.
The knife pierced through his jacket, the sharp, cold pain searing into his flesh.
Suddenly, it all came to a halt as if someone had hit the pause button.
Hans looked down at Aaron, whose face was filled with sorrow, his eyes empty,
followed by an unprecedented wave of dizziness.
In the moment of Hans" distraction, Aaron fired.
His shot hit Hans“ knife—wielding arm. The man didn’t utter a sound despite the
severe pain, merely furrowing his brow and dropping the weapon to the ground.
Aaron wanted to apprehend him, but he was beaten so badly he could barely get
up. He could only clutch the gun tightly in case his opponent retaliated.
But Hans didn't make another move.
Instead, he picked up his weakened partner from the ground and disappeared
into the woods.
All was silent, as if nothing had happened.
“Hubery, is it really you?”
Aaron murmured, pushing through the pain to get up and dialing the

we need backup!”
Hans and Elsie were both seriously injured, but neither spoke a word as they sat
in the car.
The man drove one-handed, completely ignoring his bullet-wounded right arm,
and said coldly to Elsie,
“You need a hospital.”
“The Velvet Haven has its own doctors, they can handle it,” Elsie was faint from
blood loss, her mind drifting.
Hans glanced at her, “You held back.”
“What?” Elsie’s long eyelashes fluttered, her heart pounding.
“You know what I'm talking about.”
“I've said it before I couldn't beat her. To be injured like this, and still be under
suspicion?”
Elsie looked innocently aggrieved, adopting a defiant stance, “Tch, if he doubts
me, he shouldn't use me. I've had enough.”
“The more he doubts, the more he uses. The more you're used, the more you're
exposed. Mr. Chambers is very cunning,” Hans was unusually talkative tonight.

As Hans spoke, the name “Hubery” echoed in his mind, stirring an unusual
restlessness within him.
“Yeah, you're Sir's man. No need to lay down your life for Mr. Chambers.” Elsie
let out a weary chuckle and closed her eyes in
exhaustion.
After a moment, she heard Hans* quiet voice, “I'm only concerned with whether
the job gets done. As long as it's done, I don't care about the
rest.”
Elsie’s anxiety eased, and she whispered her gratitude,
“Thank you.”

Jareth clenched his eyes shut, tormented.
The sliver of hope he harbored was shattered by the cruel hand of reality.
His grandfather was likely gone from this world.
Old grudges and fresh wounds surged in his heart. Now, more than ever, Jareth
yearned to catch Gary, the remorseless murderer, to avenge both his grandfather
and his father!

He decided to break the promise he had made to April.
Even if she sought revenge later by refusing to testify about his father’s death,
she still had to serve as an eyewitness to Gary’s crime against his grandfather!
Just as Jareth steeled himself to call the authorities, Thaddeus urgent call came
through,
“Jareth! Marilla’s been kidnapped!”
A thunderous crash reverberated through Jareth’s mind, his already shattered
heart sank into an abyss.
