Chapter 1300 The Looming Trap
Suddenly, a man wearing a silver mask obstructed Blood Rose's way.
Jewel was thrilled to see that the masked figure was one of their own.
With a sudden halt, Blood Rose fixed her gaze intently on the person before her. She
finally grasped the reason behind the absence of any backup for their group of six. It
turned out that meticulous preparations had been made from the very beginning.
A flicker of doubt crept into Blood Rose's mind—could this unexpected encounter be a
well-orchestrated trap set up for them?
The thought fueled her anger further, as she realized that falling into their clutches would
inevitably lead to her demise.
Acting instinctively, she swiftly withdrew a handgun from her pocket, aiming it directly at
Kyle before pulling the trigger.
However, at that precise moment, Blood Rose felt a sudden pain in her wrist, causing the
bullet to veer off its intended course.
Seizing the opportunity, Kyle stepped forward and deftly kicked the firearm from Blood
Rose's hand.
Simultaneously, Jewel swiftly caught up and snatched the fallen weapon.
Only now did Blood Rose realize what had struck her wrist—a small, white vial emitting a
faint fragrance upon shattering against the ground.

She instinctively held her breath, recognizing it all too well. Many of her comrades had
fallen victim to its effects.
With the gun aimed squarely at Blood Rose, Jewel taunted, "Care to try another escape?"
While still covering her mouth and nose, Blood Rose cast a disdainful glance at Jewel,
displaying no signs of fear.
She clearly knew Jewel's true nature—someone inherently compassionate, advocating for
peace, justice, and kindness. That was precisely why the assassination mission had been
meticulously tailored for someone like her.
However, Blood Rose hadn't anticipated that they had also set the trap for her. She had
clearly underestimated them. Is she truly daring enough to pull the trigger without
considering the consequences? Oh, I shouldn't underestimate her, should I? Does she truly
possess the courage for such a bold move? Look at her, so naive and tenderhearted,
burdened by countless concerns. If it hadn't been for their timely preparations, I would
have already had her right in the palm of my hand.
Blood Rose didn't feel any threat from Jewel in the slightest. With unwavering
determination, she launched a fierce attack on Kyle, and her steel wire sliced through the
air with deadly precision. She aimed to dispatch him swiftly, even if it meant seizing an
opportunity to escape amidst the ensuing chaos of the crowd.
However, as Eugene's trusted right-hand man, Kyle proved far more challenging to
overcome.
While Blood Rose could hold her breath, there were limits to how long she could sustain
without air, particularly during the intense combat with Kyle.
In truth, Blood Rose understood Jewel well. The reason Jewel hesitated to shoot wasn't due
to an inability to do so but rather concern for alerting the passengers and causing harm to
innocent bystanders.
Choosing not to shoot was merely a temporary strategy until the situation demanded
otherwise. The scent of the bone-softening powder permeated the surroundings, and Jewel
firmly believed that once Blood Rose took a breath, she would swiftly succumb to
unconsciousness.
Jewel doubted that Blood Rose could hold her breath indefinitely. Regardless, she knew
that the combined efforts of herself and Kyle would prevent Blood Rose from escaping
under any circumstances.
Their intense skirmish lasted a mere two minutes, and Blood Rose reached her limit.
Awkwardly covering her mouth and nose, she cautiously drew a breath through the filter
of her sleeve.
Yet, even this precaution could not diminish the potency of the bone-softening powder.
After exchanging blows with Jewel and Kyle for a while, Blood Rose felt her body become
weak and powerless. Even her once formidable steel wire could now be effortlessly

Seizing a momentary advantage, Jewel delivered a powerful kick that sent Blood Rose
crashing to the ground.
Determined to stay conscious, Blood Rose stubbornly fought to keep her eyelids from
closing. However, despite her tenacity, the effects of the bone-softening powder inevitably
overcame her, and her eyes gradually slipped shut.
Finally feeling a sense of relief, Jewel inquired, "What about the others? Wasn't there
another man pursuing her?"
"Don't worry, our team took care of all three of them," Kyle reassured.
Jewel released a sigh of relief. "That's good to hear. Let's try not to alarm the passengers
and quickly transport her away."
Kyle nodded in agreement. "Got it."
At that moment, Alex rushed over while cradling an unconscious child in his arms. Noticing
the bloodstains on Jewel's back, he anxiously asked, "Jewel, are you alright?"
Jewel turned her head and reassured him, "I'm fine. How is the child?"
With one hand holding the child securely, Alex swiftly removed his own jacket and draped
it over Jewel's shoulders. "He's safe. Let's hurry back."
She still harbored concerns. "Wait, let's go back together with the others. I'm worried that
Blood Rose might pull some tricks again."
Anxious about Jewel's injury, Alex urgently insisted, "Look at her, she's in no condition to
pose any threat. What more tricks could she possibly have? Let's go back quickly and have
Olivia examine your wound."
