Chapter 715 The Feud (20) The Interception

Hannah looked around randomly and saw the eight guards on the second floor all down.

She couldn't be sure what a good fighter Manuel was. The man, who had grown up with her and got bullied, turned out to be so good at fighting. She recalled Susan and she once wanted to help Manuel fight. Gee! She could imagine how badly Manuel would have mocked them back them. Hannah held her breath and stayed focused.

They went downstairs step by step. Many guards were downstairs and some of them were defending out of the manor. She had no idea where Manuel had gone. He didn't attract the attention of the patrol guys, who were still in order.

"Where are the guards?" the guards downstairs questioned them confusingly.

Hannah glanced at Cian.

"They're a little behind." Said Cian calmly.

"A little behind?" the head of the guards doubted it. He was about to go upstairs to check it out, but suddenly got shot in the back. The gunshot had broken the silence and stirred the war.

Hannah was so scared that she cowered back unconsciously. She saw hundreds of guards coming at them and some of them heading for the direction from which Manuel had shot. Apparently, Manuel was trying to distract them on purpose.

Jimmy stood in their way and shot them. The guards were down one after another. Cian also shot. Somehow, Hannah didn't think these guards meant to kill them. They hesitated to shoot as if they were afraid of hurting them. So, Jimmy and Cian had shot them all quickly and headed for the secret tunnel hastily.

Hannah felt her heart pounding in her chest, wondering what Manuel would do next. He had distracted the guards deliberately but wasn't back to them yet. Suddenly, Manuel showed up behind their backs while Hannah was on pins and needles. Hannah was kind of surprised. Manuel had led the guards away and got rid of them soon. He knew the villa better and knew where to hide or how to get to the destination.

The secret tunnel was in a storeroom. Jimmy swiftly moved the cabinet there and opened a secret iron door.

"Cian, get in first." Said Manuel in no time.

Cian jumped into the tunnel first. When Manuel was about to help Hannah get in, they heard gunshots in the room.

All of a sudden, they were surrounded by dozens of guards. Manuel gritted his teeth and closed the iron door immediately. He didn't lock it until he confirmed that Cian had gotten in.

Cian stood at the entrance of the tunnel and watched the black door shut in front of him. He saw lots of people pop up in the room and saw Manuel, Hannah and Jimmy surrounded, but he was safe. The security mode of the iron door was started, which was to say, it couldn't be opened from the outside, not even with a bomb. All he needed to do was run, and he would be safe. Cian gritted his teeth and left quickly on the opposite side of the door.

Hannah, Manuel and Jimmy were arrested. Cian would have been caught if he had jumped in a bit later or Manuel had hesitated one more second to lock the iron door. The situation was that Cian had escaped, but the others were caught.

Manuel's phone rang. He picked up in front of everyone and told Oscar that Melvin was back. This was the only message he could pass. Then he dropped his phone and weapon and surrendered. Melvin looked at the three of them without a blink. The strange man among them was Manuel, Hannah's childhood playmate. Was he here to save Hannah? After that, he glanced at the iron door calmly. The only one that had escaped was Harry, a nobody.

Melvin raised his hand, beckoning a guard to come up to him.

"Surround the island. Get Harry! He won't be able to escape!"

"Yes, Mr Balderston."

The guards left immediately.

Melvin gave the order and went up to Hannah and the others. Hannah tensed up because Melvin looked bloody and twisted at that time. She tried to keep composed.

Melvin glimpsed at Hannah and felt the fear inside her, which was greater than ever before. He then looked down at the iron door. He touched it and realized that they couldn't open the door from outside. "I told you not to play tricks." Said Melvin. Clearly, he was talking to Hannah.

Hannah bit her lips hard.

"You let me down, Hannah!" Melvin turned back to glare at her furiously.

"I don't want to die, either." Hannah plucked up and answered.

"Did I say I would kill you?" Melvin raised his eyebrows, "I've promised that you would be alive as long as I'm alive. Do you think I was fooling you?"

Hannah remained silent because she knew whatever she said wouldn't help at all. Instead, she was more afraid of pissing Melvin off.

"Or, you don't have anything to do with it? Oscar set me up?" snorted Melvin.

Hannah looked at him.

"I would have been set up by Oscar if I trusted him! Indeed, Oscar is smart. He tempted me to kill Rowan and sent people to save you in the meantime. He could do anything to deal with me if he had saved you successfully. Is that true, Hannah?"

"I don't know. I just want to live." Said Hannah word by word.

"Can't you just trust me once if you want to live?" suddenly, Melvin pinched her chin hard.

Hannah bore the pain and gritted her teeth without making a sound. Then, she stared at Melvin angrily. Manuel, who was standing next to Hannah, was on the point of fighting when Melvin pointed a gun at his head with the other hand.

"Try me!" said Melvin.

"Manuel!" Hannah called his name with difficulty. She knew Melvin had flown into a rage because he had been framed by Oscar. Manuel sucked it and looked extremely ferocious.

Melvin let go of Hannah abruptly. She wasn't spoiled but still, her eyes swelled with tears because it hurt too much.

"Take them out!" Melvin strode in the front.

Hannah, Manuel and Jimmy were taken to the hall of the villa, which was filled with guards. Apparently, Melvin's principal force was back.

Hannah thought they had a fat chance to escape this time. Oscar couldn't save them no matter how smart and capable he was. Thankfully, Cian had escaped. At least, they had saved the one who Oscar wanted to protect the most. But she couldn't help to feel sorry for the unborn child.
