You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 2043

Chapter 2043: The True Face

On the other side.

Joyce ran to the gate of the East Palace, where two rows of heavily armed guards stood.

The guards stepped forward to block her.

"No one leaves without the prince's order!" the head guard shouted.

Joyce spun lightly, her hand brushing against one of the guards' waists. In the next second, his gun was in her hand.

Tadasuke, who had been running after Joyce and was out of breath, shouted, "Don't let her go! Don't let her go!"

The head guard was stunned as Joyce took the gun. What was a woman doing with a gun? And this was the woman the prince had brought back. Instinctively, he drew his own gun and pointed it at Joyce, shouting, "Drop the gun!"

Unexpectedly.

A gunshot rang out, echoing through the air.

Tadasuke fell to his knees in fright, his legs giving way.

The head guard was knocked back several steps by the recoil of the bullet and fell to the ground. His gun had been shot out of his hand, the bullet hitting its barrel precisely, rendering it useless.

In the next moment, a cold gun was pressed against his temple.

The other guards, although they drew their guns upon hearing the shot, were too late.

Joyce already had her gun against the head guard's temple.

"Nobody move!" Joyce commanded, "Drop your guns and raise your hands! Or else!"

Intimidated by Joyce's aura, the head guard raised his hands obediently.

He was shocked. This woman was terrifying. Her speed and accuracy were impeccable; she had hit his gun's barrel without harming him while gaining control.

He had never seen a woman like this.

The other guards exchanged glances, unsure of what to do. If they dropped their guns and let her escape, they would have to answer to the prince. If they didn't, their leader was being held hostage. What should they do?

Joyce frowned and pressed the gun harder against his temple. "Tell them to drop their guns."

The head guard had no choice but to order, "Drop your guns."

The guards complied, placing their guns on the ground and raising their hands.

Tadasuke watched in disbelief. What kind of person had the prince brought back? Joyce could shoot and was far superior to these guards.

Tadasuke collapsed to the ground, not knowing what to do.

Joyce kicked the head guard. "Get up and walk with me to the gate. Once I'm safe, I'll let you go."

The head guard stood up reluctantly. He felt humiliated. To reach his position, he had undergone rigorous tests and training. Now he was being held hostage by a woman. How could he face anyone in the palace after this?

Joyce pushed him forward with the gun, step by step toward the gate.

She wanted to go home. She didn't want to stay in this place any longer. She needed to contact the outside world.

As she stepped out of the East Palace gate.

Suddenly, a loud clapping sound came from behind her.
