Chapter 341 Do Not Cry
The excruciating pain in Elizabeth’s leg meant she could barely walk, so they could only move along slowly.
When they finally reached the living room, they spotted the landlady, bound with ropes with a rag stuffed into her

With that, he started heading outside very carefully. Elizabeth was so terrified that she could only choke out, “Be

Just then, he heard a piercing shriek.
“Let go of me! Let go!”
Matthew dashed upstairs immediately. That’s Elizabeth’s voice! In the end, I still underestimated the other party. I
thought the attacker was working alone, but it turns out that that isn’t the case!
Upon rushing into the bedroom on the second floor, he saw Elizabeth being held at gunpoint by a masked man.

“That phantom–like assassin was a well–known figure in the underground circles, but who would’ve guessed that

so capable as to take him down. I’ve truly underestimated the power of this woman here,” he remarked.
With that, he loaded the pistol in his hand. The sound rang out crisp and clear in Elizabeth’s ear, and her face paled

“Hurry up and leave! Don’t bother about me. Just go…”

Matthew wouldn’t be able to do anything about that.
With that thought in mind, he spun around abruptly while walking toward the door and fired directly at Elizabeth.
Matthew immediately wrapped his arms around her and rolled to the floor.
