His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1213

“Aaaah!” Gordon screamed, his soul nearly leaving his body as he huddled beneath the steering wheel.

It wasn't that he was useless—he had actually been quite capable—but who in their right mind had ever experienced something like this? Following Mr. Thaddeus meant a life of constant peril. At this rate, he’d need to carry heart medication with him at all times.

Thaddeus shielded Mr. Zade with his own formidable body. He knew they were after the witness, determined to eliminate any unfavorable evidence. But if they could take him out in the process, or even just injure him severely, it would be a huge bonus.

Vicious. Ruthless.

Thaddeus could hear Mr. Zade muttering his prayers even faster. What the man didn't know was that the man protecting him was, at times, more powerful than any god.

“Don’t lift your heads! The arrows can pierce glass, but not the car’s body!” Thaddeus warned, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

A terrifying barrage of thuds rained down on the car, the sound instantly transporting Thaddeus back to his time on the battlefields of Country L, fighting terrorists.

The thrill of battle ignited a fire in his eyes. The blood in his veins began to boil, to roar.

After about five or six minutes, the assault stopped. But with a flat tire, the car was immobilized.

Their only option was to fight their way out.

“Gordon, protect him.”

With those words, Thaddeus moved like a speeding arrow, flinging the car door open and launching himself outside.

In the next second, a dozen men with malice in their eyes brandished knives and batons, closing in on him.

The scene was chilling: a lone lion surrounded by a pack of wolves.

“Mr. Cassius Ashbourne!” Gordon answered frantically, his voice cracking. “You have to come save Mr. Thaddeus! He’s being attacked by a dozen men! They all have machetes, it’s terrifying!”

“Don’t panic. I’m on my way to help him,” Cassius’s voice was deep and steady. “Mrs. Abernathy sent me.”

Jareth, worried about Thaddeus escorting the witness alone, had immediately contacted Evadne. She was busy, but she had quickly reached out to her older brother, Cassius, who had just returned to the country.

Cassius and Elvis had immediately set off after Thaddeus. They had been close behind, but a major accident involving a truck had blocked the road, forcing them to take a detour. They had lost sight of their target but managed to get in touch.

Gordon gave them his exact location. After hanging up, he could do nothing but lock himself and Mr. Zade in the car and pray.

As he prayed, he heard a relentless cacophony of bangs and clangs against the car’s exterior.

Suddenly, a machete shattered the window, whizzing past Gordon’s head by a hair’s breadth.
