At that moment, the sound of incessant gunfire filled their ears.
Spencer glanced around and noticed a car had stopped not far away.
He tapped Thalia, then said, “Thalia, we have to go now!”
Upon hearing his words, Thalia finally let him go.
When she looked into the distance, she saw Kenneth stepping out of the car.
“Let's go!” Thalia also said.
At that moment, Spencer was about to stand up when his leg suddenly gave way. Fortunately, Thalia was there to support him in time. “Are you okay?” she asked.
“I'm fine,” he said, enduring the pain and heading straight toward Kenneth.
When they arrived in front of him, Kenneth got out of the car, grabbing Boss by the hand and looking utterly domineering.
He asked, “How are you guys doing? Everything alright?”
Thalia looked at him. “If you had arrived any later, you would be picking up our corpses!”
Kenneth swept his gaze over to her. “With your fierce and menacing demeanor, who would dare collect yours?”
“You—”
“Alright, now is not the time for bickering,” Spencer interjected.
The two people, much like sworn enemies, would see red the moment they see each other.
Kenneth shifted his gaze, looking towards Spencer. “How is it going?”
“Just as you expected!” he said.
The words triggered a hint of relief in Kenneth's eyes. He then looked at them and said, “You guys get in the car first. I'll have someone drive you away.”
“What about you?”
“I still have some personal matters to deal with!” said Kenneth.
At that moment, Spencer looked at Kenneth. “Can you manage on your own?”
At that moment, Kenneth tightened his grip on Boss. “As long as I have him, I'll have no problems.”
Just as Spencer was about to speak, Thalia interjected, “This is no longer just about you. Today, I will level this place to the ground!”
Both of them turned to look at her.
Just as they were about to say something, Boss suddenly burst into laughter.
Luke grabbed him. “Why are you laughing?”
Boss looked at them. “I'm amused. You came here, and now you want to leave?” As he spoke, his gaze swept over them. However, when his eyes landed on Thalia, he was taken aback.
The look in her eyes brought an indescribable complexity and surprise to him.
“What are you looking at?” Suddenly, Luke gave him a shove.
Nevertheless, Boss' gaze remained fixed on Thalia. “You...”
Watching him watch her, Thalia furrowed her brows. “What about me?”
Boss, with his hands tied, slowly raised them towards her face. “You...”
However, the moment his hand reached out, Spencer stepped forward and grabbed it.
“You can talk, but no contact!” Spencer warned him.
However, Boss seemed to look right through him, his gaze fixed intently on the person behind him—Thalia.
“What's your name?” he murmured.
Seeing Boss' unusual reaction, everyone present was somewhat puzzled.
Thalia's gaze swept over everyone before she replied, “What does it matter to you what my name is?”
“No.” Boss paused, pursing his lips before looking at her. “Where are you from?”
Thalia furrowed his brows, still puzzled.
