Just then, a rattling noise echoed through the sky.
Everyone looked up to see a fleet of helicopters hovering above them. The masked man at the front narrowed his eyes.
"You dared to call for backup?"
Rosemary glanced up at the sky without much surprise. Romeo was quicker than she expected. She had just arrived, and he was already here.
At this moment, Romeo was trying to locate Rosemary’s position, instructing his men to avoid the red dot on their radar and focus on the others while dropping flashbangs.
The flashbangs fell one after another, obliterating the people below.
"Your backup doesn’t seem to care about your life," the masked man smirked coldly. "They’re bombing so indiscriminately. Do they intend to send you off to hell as well?"
"You talk too much," Rosemary quickly retaliated, aiming to capture the masked man.
The masked man counterattacked swiftly.
On the helicopter, Romeo noticed the red dot moving. He immediately ordered, "Avoid that area."
She must be trying to capture someone.
He had to help her.
"Land."
"Boss, there are still many people down there. If you go down now—"
Carl’s words were cut off by Romeo’s warning gaze. He quickly ordered the emergency landing.
Rosemary and the masked man exchanged a few blows. The masked man chuckled,
"Not many can withstand my moves. If you would work for our organization, you could achieve great things."
"Who cares," Rosemary shot back, landing a direct hit on his shoulder.
As the helicopter touched down, it whipped up a powerful gust of wind.
Rosemary landed another blow on the man’s stomach, pushing him back a couple of steps. He pulled out his cellphone, seemingly planning to order his men to kill the hostages.
Rosemary tried to snatch the phone away. In an instant, the phone was kicked into the air. Both of them reached for it, but it fell into someone else’s hands.
Rosemary looked up to see Romeo. He had caught the phone and pulled her behind him.
The masked man looked up at the unexpected man.
"It’s you again."
Were these two a couple?
They did seem well-matched.
But wasn’t this girl the woman of the leader of Mafia Flame?
Why was it always the leader of Mafia C who came to her aid when she was in danger?
Rosemary and Romeo attacked together, quickly overpowering him and knocking him out.
"Are you hurt?" Romeo gazed at Rosemary as he gently tousled her hair.
"I’m fine. Give me the phone."
She needed to find out where Joyce and Mavis were.
The masked man’s phone was locked. Rosemary cracked it and, imitating his tone, sent a message to his subordinates:
[Send a picture over. That girl doesn’t believe her friends are safe.]
A picture soon arrived. It was taken by a lake. Joyce and Mavis were tied up with ropes, which were attached to large rocks, indicating they could be thrown into the lake at any moment.
[Bring them here,] Rosemary ordered.
The reply came:
[Give the code.]
Code??
Rosemary found herself puzzled. She skimmed through their past conversations but couldn’t find any agreed-upon secret code. Could it be that they had arranged it privately without her knowing?
