Chapter 888
Seeing the despair in Catelyn's eyes, Alfred's eyes reddened. With adrenaline coursing through his veins, he garnered increased strength, got up from the ground, knocked the man down, and pressed him down on his back.
"Run, Catelyn—quickly!" Alfred shouted to Catelyn sharply.
She lived in hope once again!
"No, I'm taking you with me!'
Seeing that Alfred had suppressed the kidnapper, she quickly picked up an iron bar on the ground and hit the man. 'Go to hell, *sshole!"
The man felt dizzy due the blows landing on him, but he managed to drag Alfred's body down. With a vigorous spin, Alfred was the one pinned to the ground instead, though the man could not break free still as Alfred pinned the man's legs down with his.
Catelyn almost hit Alfred, but she stopped in time.
Knowing he would not be able to restrain the man any longer, Alfred yelled, "Run! Run quickly! Leave me!"
'No! How can I leave you here?! Wait for me-l'm coming back for you!" Catelyn's eyes flushed with anxiety as she clutched the iron rod in her hand tightly, goosebumps running down her skin.
"I'm just a burden now; I can't run far at all! As long as you escape, you can send someone to rescue me. We'll both die if we waste any more time.
"Run! I can't hold it any longer!' yelled Alfred, his body already tense to the extreme.
Alfred knew this man had an accomplice. After all, he was not totally unconscious when they were both being transported.
He did not know where the other kidnapper had gone, but he had a feeling this companion would be back soon.
Leaving the abandoned warehouse was the safest decision Catelyn should make, and it must not be delayed any longer.
Catelyn's eyes reddened, knowing that Alfred was sacrificing to buy time for her to escape. Thus, shooting the man one last glance, she held tight to her worry and anguish as she ran toward the industrial door.
She must bring someone back to save him!
However, just as Catelyn had just opened the door of the warehouse, a bullet whizzed past her face, causing a hot tingling sensation on her cheek. Startled, she screamed.
Another kidnapper had returned, and he was heading toward her with a warning shot fired.
Catelyn froze in place as that burly kidnapper put a gun to Catelyn’s head and forced her back to the warehouse step by step.
Seeing this, Alfred had an ominous feeling that none of them would make it out of the warehouse alive.
'Let go of my buddy now," said the man with a gun, "or I'll send this woman to heaven right away!’
Alfred gritted his teeth, loosened his limbs, and let go of the man. As soon as the man broke free, he punched and kicked Alfred again.
Alfred lost too much blood, and his vision blurred before falling unconscious once more.
Tm...sorry..." he murmured before completely losing consciousness.
