Chapter 769
Jewel noticed the figure that disappeared into the corridors, but as she was preoccupied at the moment, she couldn’t go after that figure. These men were quite skilled and didn’t seem to be some low- level thugs. Rather, they were like professional hitmen, as each of their attacks was a strike to kill. With some difficulty, she managed to kick the men surrounding her down and quickly chased after the man who had left outside, as she worried that Ellen was in danger.
Meanwhile, Ellen had run to the end of the corridor, but the man behind her was still in hot pursuit, so she went downstairs in hopes of calling for help. Unfortunately for her, she could clearly sense the man was closing the distance between them since the man was much faster. As her anxiety grew with each step, she couldn’t move her legs very well.
Just then, she stumbled on her feet and almost fell. Instinctively, she held onto the walls for support to regain her footing. However, the man was now right behind her with a knife in his hand. Without any hesitation, he struck at her with the intent to kill.
Seemingly sensing his intention, she turned her head back. At the same time, she felt someone suddenly jumping down from the second floor before that someone completely wrapped her inside their arms.
Shnk. The sound of the knife stabbing into flesh rang out.
Frightened into a panic, Ellen cried out, “Jewel! Jewel…”
The knife found its way to the right side of Jewel’s back instead. Her shirt was dyed red as her blood came flowing out. Truthfully, she wanted to kick the man aside, but because they were at the side of the wall, Ellen might be caught in the aftermath of the man’s fall as well, so she decided to block the knife instead. After she caught her balance, she immediately hugged Ellen.
Frightened with what had happened, Ellen held Jewel in her arms as she yelled, “S-Someone! A-Anyone!
Help!”
Although there were people stationed to patrol her villa, not one of them had noticed the large group of intruders here today.
Without the time to process the pain of the knife stabbing her, Jewel grabbed the man’s collar just as he was about to stab her again. Then, she threw the man down to the first floor. As the man rolled on the ground, the bloodied knife in his hand was flung to the side as well.
