His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel 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—!"

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.
