This Time, I'll Be the Villain's Favorite Daughter novel Chapter 341

Chapter 341 Rescue

So many times that Edric and Sharon had reached the point of casually liking each other’s posts.

The last time Sharon posted, Edric even remembered to tap like.

He’d practically become a regular in the Harmony International School faculty office.

Once, he even blew off a major client just to pick Maya up before school let out.

When the client heard why, there was a long silence before they finally said, “What’s wrong w you? You’re picking up a kid in the middle of a kill run?”

Edric didn’t want to either.

But ever since Toby graduated, Maya had completely gone off the rails.

Skipping home after school had become routine.

Wendy had been attentive when they were younger, but as they grew up, she leaned more hands-off.

Edric couldn’t ignore it.

Once the brothers’ footsteps faded and the base went quiet again, the people hiding finally dared to move.

They peeked out carefully, confirmed it was clear, then pressed against the walls and crept forward.

“Go, go, go. Move.”

They had barely taken three steps when footsteps echoed again from the other end of the corridor.

The group reacted instantly, turning, crouching, shrinking back into the corner, closing their

Chapter 341 Rescue

Lucy couldn’t figure out how the groups had been split tonight.

Somehow, she ended up in the weakest pair.

There was nothing logical about it.

Still, once they were inside, there wasn’t much to worry about.

Maya’s group had been here for a while, yet not a single person had stepped up to stop them

At first, Lucy had been on edge, but after a while she realized something. Everyone here was quietly playing dead.

Her lips twitched.

So this is what it’s like rolling with a crime-family crew.

No fighting. No thinking. Just follow along, and the problem solves itself.

Compared to the constant danger she used to face moving between organizations, this felt absurdly easy.

On the other side, Chance’s situation was much better than Ernest’s.

Chance was an intelligence guy. He handled intel, logistics, and strategy.

He wasn’t a frontline fighter, so he had fewer enemies.

Compared to physical torture, what he faced was mostly psychological pressure.

Near dawn, he couldn’t sleep. He hugged his knees, staring blankly at the ceiling.

His life started replaying in his head.

A short, unremarkable life.

Most people in the underground did it for money. It was a trade they chose. He was no different.

It wasn’t like he had no other options. People in intel were smart enough to survive anywhere.

But the pay had been too good.

That line probably belonged on every worker’s tombstone.

Chapter 341 Rescue

His thoughts drifted from childhood to adulthood, from his parents to his partners, then to online friends.

Everything blurred together. Fear crept in, rising like a tide, swallowing him piece by piece.

He let himself sink.

After a while, even the fear dulled, leaving nothing but numbness.

Until…

The door was kicked open.

Chance turned his head. The cold light from outside made his body stiffen on instinct. He thought the boss had come to mess with him again.

Then he heard his name.

“Chance.”

He froze.

That voice.

“Miss me?”

Chance said nothing.

He stared at the figure in the doorway, stunned. The legendary assassin who had just kicked th door open stood there.

His mouth opened. Thoughts spun, but in the end, only one word came out. “Maya?”

The moment he said it, a blade pressed against his throat.
