Chapter 369 Are You Insane?
Though both of their irises were registered in the system for access, they hadn’t entered while Isabelle was
away.
The three of them intended to spend the night there.
Yves always travelled with a large group, like a convoy of cars.
Exiting the banquet hall, Yves got into one of his cars with Jim and Isabelle, then they headed for the seaside villa.
He didn’t bring any of his crew, but he had plenty of weapons.
“Where do you think Hunter will try to ambush us?” Yves asked casually as he steered.
Jim proposed. “Wanna bet? Within fifteen minutes?”
Yves countered, “I say ten minutes. What do you think, Sweetheart?”
Isabelle, loading bullets into her gun one by one, absentmindedly said, “Eight minutes.” She seemed preoccupied.
Jim suggested, “Chilli peppers? Ten of them?”
Yves’s expression darkened momentarily. “If I win, your debts from the card game are cleared. Lose, and you’ll be sleeping in the garage tonight.”
Jim doubled down. “And if you lose, you have to eat twenty–three chilli peppers.”
Yves replied, “Deal.”
Then he pressed down on the gas pedal.
Jim queried, “Isn’t this sudden acceleration against the rules?”
Yves, inviting trouble, responded, “Yep. What are you going to do about it?”
As they reached the commercial street, a dozen cars suddenly rushed at them from all directions.
Clearly, they had been waiting for them.
The adversaries aggressively approached, heading straight for them. Yves remained unfazed, calmly steering to avoid a direct collision.
With too many cars blocking their way, they were hit hard from behind, forcing Yves’s car to stop, Bullets. were fired, but all hit the car body! The adversaries hesitated to harm Yves due to his status but aimed to intimidate him.
The bulletproof car bore a row of bullet marks,
Inside, the three remained composed.
Yves asked, “How long did that take?”

Jim checked the time and said, “Isabelle wins. That’s what you get for speeding up.”
Yves grabbed his gun and loaded it. Tm fine with my Sweetheart winning.
Finished
He rolled down the window and fired at the person who had just stepped out of the opposing car, and the person fell to the ground immediately.
Hunter was cautious of Yves’s power and dared not harm him directly. Unable to confront Yves, he directed his anger at Isabelle, wanting to save face by taking her away.
Seeing Yves without his men, Hunter cursed his foolishness, but he never expected him to retaliate.
Seeing it as a golden opportunity, Yves suddenly opened fire without warning.
They’re such a small group: how dare Yves shoot me?!
Bullets flew on the busy street, causing chaos.
Although Hunter wanted to say something. Yves didn’t let him speak and launched an attack immediately.
Exiting the car, Hunter narrowly avoided a fatal shot to the head.
His men shielded him and took cover behind the car.
Amidst the gunfire, bodies fell to the ground.
After surveying the scene, Hunter realised most of his men were either dead or wounded.
He was shocked. How could such intense firepower come from the four of them? Have I fallen into a trap? Has Yves been prepared all along?
This situation couldn’t continue, or someone would die.
Hunter didn’t want to make matters worse.
“Gerald!” he yelled and commanded his men to cease fire. When the shooting stopped, he cautiously emerged from behind the car.
To his surprise, there were only three opponents.
Though taken aback, Hunter remained composed, asserting his dominance and addressing Yves, “Gerald, I don’t want to be your adversary. I just want the woman.” Hunter’s gaze bore into Isabelle.
