Resurrecting the Genius Within-
Chapter 348 Saving Jim
The women were gripped by fear, causing them to hastily seize their clothes and flee.

Observing the enigmatic Maria, Jim contemplated that this person might be grappling with a form of mental disorder.
Maria, dissatisfied with the result, angrily stormed out of the room.
Jim breathed a sigh of relief, understanding that he had narrowly escaped an awkward predicament.
Following an interval of over thirty minutes, Maria reappeared, sent away her subordinates gathered at the entrance and proceeded straight to her bed.
With bravery, Jim interrupted her approach, saying. “Ms. Warner, could you kindly arrange for someone to help me pull up my pants?”
His belt and zipper hung loose, revealing his underwear to those around him.
Never before had he experienced such profound embarrassment.
Luckily, he did not recognise anyone in that room.
Had Yves been present, he would have relentlessly teased him
Maria remained motionless, avoiding any eye contact.
“A man and a woman alone together in a room, with me in this condition, is quite improper. I would appreciate your assistance in rectifying this situation. Thank you.”
Maria finally cast him a sharp glare, her gaze inadvertently falling upon Jim’s lower half before hastily diverting, her fists clenched in embarrassment and a threat of harm to his lower part lingering in her expression.
Jim dared not seek her assistance in pulling up
his pants.
Perhaps because the night hadn’t unfolded as Maria had anticipated, she vented all her frustration on Jim.
Jim’s injuries exacerbated with each successive day.
Meanwhile, Grady pursued Jim relentlessly. His relent mere days of arrival.
After numerous pursuits, Grady finally caught up to them.
pursuit drove them to change locations within
As they found refuge in an abandoned distillery, barely catching their breath, Grady and his men launched a sudden attack.
The tension heightened.
Clearly provoked by Maria, Grady’s anger intensified at the sight of her pulling Jim behind her.
He raised his gun dangerously, his voice edged with menace. “Maria, hand him over to me. I can overlook what has happened in these past few days.”

Chapter 348 Saving Jimi
Maria retorted, “Hasn’t Uncle Grady received my dad’s message? Or are you defying his orders?”
Finished
Grady’s gaze turned fierce as he responded, “Even if your dad were here today, I would still kill that person to avenge Ryan.”
“Hand him over, or don’t blame me for taking action,” he warned, the tension thickening in the air.
Maria tightened her grip on the whip in her hand and suddenly lashed out, knocking the gun from Grady’s hand with a single crack of the whip.
Then, she fled with Jim through the back door.

Grady, furious and determined to avenge his son, swore to kill Jim. The two sides erupted into a fierce gunfight.
His subordinates outnumbered Maria’s.
Maria’s subordinates fought while retreating, the battle spilling onto the streets, where pedestrians fled in panic.
Maria and Jim blended into the chaotic crowd, the sound of gunfire growing louder, seeming to pass right by their cars.
The gunfire drew nearer, whizzing past as if right beside their cars.
Maria dragged Jim behind a nearby wall, engaging in a fierce firefight with Grady’s men.
Jim remarked, “Untie the rope binding me.”
“Don’t think about running away!” Maria declared.
Maria wouldn’t kill him, but she wouldn’t let him escape either.
As they fought and ran, she pulled him along by the arm. Suddenly, a figure emerged from the right side of the street, aiming a gun at Jim.
Maria shoved Jim aside and then shot the assailant dead.
The two of them fled to the end of the street, with nowhere left to hide, and Maria’s remaining men dwindling. Grady closed in on them.
Jim was drenched in cold sweat, dizzy and nauseous.
“Kill them all!” Grady commanded.
As his men raised their weapons to fire at them, Jim darted out from behind the billboard, pushing Maria aside.
Bullets grazed his scalp as he did so.
The two of them crashed heavily to the ground.
Just as Grady’s men raised their weapons again, a black SUV roared onto the scene, positioning itself between them.
