The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1540

Trapped in this subterranean hell for three to five years, having a beautiful woman to serve his personal needs while also managing lab work sounded like a perfect arrangement.

Dane had heard enough. He saw the sickening, predatory way the 'doctor' was looking at Claire, eyeing her like prime livestock.

It pushed Dane past the point of restraint.

"Brooks, River!"

Without waiting for Silas to give the tactical command, Dane ordered his men to strike.

Rory and Jace immediately moved to shield Claire. Rory pulled her back into the shadows while Jace unleashed a barrage of throwing knives, moving like a blur of lethal precision.

Rory deployed The Crimson Aegis, the tactical umbrella snapping open to form a bulletproof barricade around Claire.

The materials used to construct the umbrella were highly classified, but its effectiveness was undeniable.

The cavern instantly erupted into absolute chaos.

Silas wasn't offended that Dane had initiated the bloodbath; he instantly capitalized on the momentum, signaling his squad to breach and clear.

On the other side, Kael was completely blindsided. The aerosolized Dreamweed toxin hadn't slowed the Solenians down for a single second.

Without the chemical advantage, capturing them alive was suddenly impossible.

Yet, Dr. Aris was still screaming over the gunfire, "The girl! I want the girl alive!"

As for the rest of them, they were expendable. Kill them all.

"I want the doctor alive!" Claire shouted back from behind the Aegis, matching the doctor's ruthlessness. She shot a quick glance at Silas.

Silas let out a dark chuckle. "Understood."

The girl's raw intensity was both terrifying and amusing.

He had thought she possessed a cold, mature stoicism far beyond her years.

But in the heat of a firefight, her vicious streak was on full display.
