Chapter 326
Serena felt like crying when she heard Kingsley’s voice. “I’m sorry, Kingsley. I promised I’d get you a car once I finish this mission, but I don’t think I can go back alive this time. I have a lot I want to tell you, but I don’t have much time. Just remember that I’ve always loved you. Perhaps a lot more than you think. Please, be happy.” She started sobbing.
Paige approached the phone and shouted, “A bunch of armed b*stards surrounded us, Kingsley! Y—”
She was cut short by gunshots, and Kingsley’s face fell. “You’ll be fine, Serena. Trust me.”
“I know you can help us out, Kingsley. I always knew, but this time—”
Serena was trying to speak, but Xanxus sneered. “I sent my best marksman to hunt her down. She can’t run away no matter how good of a killer she is.”
Kingsley couldn’t hear what Serena said because of Xanxus’ interruption. “Shut the f*ck up!” Kingsley roared. “One more word and it’s off with your head!”
“What the f*ck did you just say?” Frederick glared at him and tried to charge ahead.
He had just taken a step, and Kingsley whipped out a wooden token from his pocket and tossed it to the ground. “I said, shut the f*ck up!” he growled.
“What the f*ck is this? You think you can just—” Frederick came to an abrupt halt, and he rubbed his eyes. He bowed down to stare at the wooden token, as if someone just punched the wind out of him. His voice trembled, “I-It can’t be…” When he saw the token for what it was, his legs gave out, and he plopped down to the ground.
Xanxus saw the Northern Draken Tag too, of course, and he blanched. “The Tanners’ Northern Draken Tag? Why do you have it?” Xanxus staggered backward, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Kingsley pointed at him again. “Last warning,” he hissed. “Shut the f*ck up! I’m trying to talk here!”
Yes, of course. Xanxus and Frederick kept their pipes down and said nothing. Frederick scrambled to get up and stand behind Xanxus. They exchanged looks of fear and terror.
Kingsley couldn’t care less about them. He told Serena softly, “Don’t worry, Serena. You’ll be fine. Someone’s on their way to save you.”
Serena smiled bitterly. Someone’s on their way? It’s too late. I can hear the guy closing in on us. They’ll kill me and Paige right about now.
Paige was pale as well. “Stop lying, Kingsley. There’s no way you can save us. Just tell my mom and dad that—”
The crunch of a stick coming from behind stopped Paige. The marksman was just one car away from them. Her lips trembled, and her hands were white. She pursed her lips and told Kingsley, “The next time you’re in Seavale, tell my mom and dad that I made the family proud!”
She flicked her wrist and stood up. Paige held her whip and was about to fight for what might be the last time in her life, but the moment she stood up, she was stopped by the roar of a helicopter.
A dozen military helicopters flew in from north and south, then four attack aircrafts buzzed past the woods, leaving chemtrails behind. The sonic boom made Xanxus’ lackeys freeze, as if they were chucked into a freezer.
Serena looked up at the ground-attack aircrafts and military choppers in awe. “What’s going on? A military exercise?”
