No one in the spa retreat could stop Julian.
In a few breaths’ time, Julian had already raced to the second floor where the scream had sounded.
Ignoring the surprise and anger on the faces of the female customers and employees upon seeing him, Julian barged through the half-closed door to the office.
When Julian opened the door and saw an unfamiliar woman on the floor, he immediately raced toward the open window.
Looking down from the window, Julian saw a woman getting into a car. She was holding Wendy in her arms.
Aaron, who was sitting in the passenger seat, met Julian’s eyes through the window.
Smiling, Aaron made a finger gun and directed it at Julian before pretending to shoot it.
He was being deliberately provocative.
The next second, the car’s engine started and it raced out of the alleyway.
Julian’s aura was like a wave crashing over the rocks.
Grabbing hold of the window ledge, he flipped out of the second-floor window. Julian did not seem to care that the window was seven meters above the ground as he landed with a thump.
However, the car had already rushed out of the alley and seemed to be escaping.
Julian was just about to run after them when two shrewd men surrounded him. Without saying a word, they started attacking Julian.
Julian was confident that he could defeat these two, but it would take up some of his precious time.
With his rage fueling him, Julian roared like an angered dragon and took out all his anger on the two men.
These two men had been placed there to delay Julian, acting as human shields.
Although they had mentally prepared themselves for this, the two still felt as if they were a boat stranded amid turbulent waves. They were about to break into countless pieces as they faced Julian’s rapid attacks.
