Chapter 1301 Operation to Capture Blood Rose
Jewel remained motionless and steadfastly waited in place.
At that moment, Olivia's voice came through the earpiece. "Jewel, be cautious of your left
front." Alex also caught the warning from his earpiece and instinctively reached out to pull
Jewel.
As a former assassin, Jewel's reflexes were swift. She effortlessly shifted positions to align
herself with Alex's forceful motion. Just as she nestled into his embrace, a distinctive thud
echoed—the bullet had landed on the exact spot she had occupied moments ago.
It was a mere fraction of a second that made all the difference.
Jewel glanced with lingering trepidation and noticed a swift figure darting toward the
crowd. She chased after them while acting on instinct.
Alex hastily intercepted her. He couldn't allow an injured Jewel to pursue her further even
though he wasn't as skilled as her in combat. Without giving her a chance to object, he
insisted, "I'll go."
His words accompanied the swift passing of the child into Jewel's arms.
However, Kyle was quicker in response. "Alex, stay here. I'll go!" he interjected.
Without delay, Kyle disappeared from their sight and left no room for the words of caution

Only then did Alex begin to experience a lingering fear. He had believed they had resolved
everything and had not realized their allies were still at large.
I can't leave Jewel behind. What if someone approaches her? How would she defend
herself when she's injured and cradling the child?
Meanwhile, Eugene swiftly formulated a plan. He directed, "Someone please head toward
the restroom and extract the target swiftly." They were concerned that an extended
timeframe might incite chaos.
Finally, Olivia urgently inquired about Jewel. "Jewel, are you alright?"
Jewel reassured her, "I'm fine. Don't worry."
In less than five minutes, they had successfully evacuated the airport.
Their operation could be considered a success. Besides Jewel's unexpected injury, they
had captured Blood Rose as intended without alarming the passengers.
If any notable consequence were to be mentioned, the restroom closure for over ten
minutes made numerous travelers seek alternative facilities.
Once inside the car, Alex securely bound Blood Rose while Jewel anxiously searched her
thoroughly for hidden weapons.
The car swiftly arrived at the designated location—an underground secret chamber of the
Nolan Group's Mastar subsidiary.
They would hand Blood Rose over to the police, but they didn't want to make Blood Rose's
life too easy. Otherwise, how could they honor those who had perished?
However, Eugene was already present upon Alex and Jewel's arrival. He observed Jewel
disembarking with a child in her arms and inquired, "Are you alright, Jewel?"
Jewel affirmed, "I'm fine."
Looking at Jewel's bloodless face, Alex turned to Eugene with a gaze filled with self-blame
and concern before asking, "Has Olivia arrived?"
Eugene responded, "Not yet. She's waiting for you at the clinic. You should return
promptly!"
Jewel couldn't help but worry. "Can you manage here alone, Eugene?"
He reassured her, "I can handle it. You just hurry back."
Their conversation stopped when their bodyguards and cars arrived from the airport one
after another.
Alex assisted in transporting the individuals into the underground vault.
Then, he went to the clinic with Jewel and the child as he was deeply troubled by Jewel's

"Hurry up and come over here, Jewel. Let me examine you," Olivia said, having waited for
a long time.
Jewel expressed her concern with the unconscious child in her arms. "Olivia, please attend
to the child first. He was also exposed to the bone-softening powder."
Olivia responded, "Alex, hand the child to George. He knows how to counteract it."
Jewel obediently handed the child to Alex.
Alex swiftly cradled the child and briskly made his way ahead. His concern wasn't mainly
for the child; it was for Jewel.
Upon arriving at the front, he directly handed the child to George. "He's been affected by
Olivia's bone-softening powder. Olivia mentioned that you know how to reverse the
effect."
George furrowed his brows and added, "No wonder I received a bottle of unknown
medicine. It seems it was meant for this child."
After confirming the course of action, Alex intended to leave.
George posed another question. "How's Jewel's injury?"
As the topic arose, Alex's eyes filled with tenderness and concern. "A dagger pierced her
back. I haven't seen how deep the wound is, but she continues to fight on and is
seemingly oblivious to the pain."
