HIS REGRET (Ex-Husband wants Me Back) novel Chapter 947

Bang!

Falcon's back slammed into the side of a shipping container.

His black suit, which had remained immaculate until now, was covered in dust. His hair, always perfectly combed, had begun to fall into disarray. A thin line of blood once again trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Naomi held her breath. For a moment, she truly believed Brandon could end everything right then and there.

“Get up!” Brandon shouted, his chest rising and falling. “Didn't you want to test me? Then face me!”

Falcon slowly lifted his head. His gaze remained cold, but his breathing had grown slightly heavier. He wiped the blood from his lips with his thumb, then looked at the crimson stain on his skin for several seconds.

Strangely, he smiled instead. “You've improved,” he said softly.

Brandon let out a scornful grin. “I'm not the one who's improved.” He stepped even closer. “You're the one who's spent too long hiding behind your men.”

Those words seemed to ignite the embers Falcon had kept hidden all this time. The smile on his face slowly faded. His eyes turned much sharper. But only for a moment.

The next second, that calmness returned.

Naomi, who had been watching them the entire time, suddenly sensed that something was wrong. The man didn't look like someone who was cornered at all. Every instinct she had told her something was off.

Naomi's heart immediately began pounding faster. “Brandon...!”

Her shout was swallowed up as Brandon swung his fist again. Falcon deliberately took the blow while angling his body, causing Brandon's punch to do no more than graze his jaw.

At the same moment, the corner of Falcon's mouth lifted once more. “Now.”

That single word was spoken softly, yet it was enough to change everything.

Bang!

A gunshot echoed from the left side of the warehouse. Brandon's body jerked violently. The bullet pierced his left shoulder, forcing him to spin before he lost his balance.

“Mr. Brandon!” several Alpha Team members shouted almost at the same time.

Naomi screamed. “Brandon!”

Blood immediately soaked through the man's sleeve. But before he could even process the pain, Falcon was already moving with incredible speed, far faster than before.

Thud!

A crushing punch slammed into Brandon's face, snapping his head backward. Before he could straighten up again, Falcon's knee drove hard into his stomach. Brandon coughed. The blow knocked the breath out of him.

Falcon gave him no chance whatsoever. He grabbed Brandon by the collar, then twisted his body with all his strength.
