Chapter 1246
Yasmine was sitting calmly on the bed, her face showing no sign of illness. At that moment, she was slowly turning
her head, fixing her gaze on Damon, her expression indifferent. Her back was straight, with no unnecessary
movements, yet her unique elegance was still evident.
She watched him in silence, her bright eyes seemingly filled with natural wisdom.
“Who are you? Why are you looking for me?” After a while, she spoke slowly, her voice devoid of panic.
So, this was Chloe’s mother.
Outside the window, the roar of a helicopter was audible, along with intermittent gunshots and the clamor of
voices. The scene was terrifying, as anyone could tell just by the sounds.
Even in the face of “terrorists” breaking in, she remained calm and collected. Indeed, as people said, she was
different from the rest.
Without any hesitation, Damon approached her. Then, he bowed to her, saying, “I’m sorry we had to meet under
these circumstances. I’m Damon, Chloe’s fiancée…”
“Sir, the president is coming!”
Damon’s expression changed. He turned to Yasmine, whose expression finally showed some signs of fluctuation,
and said, “I’m sorry, but I have to take you away
now.”
“Okay.” Unexpectedly, she responded so quickly. But Damon didn’t hesitate and bent down to lift Yasmine into his
arms.
“I’m sorry.” Holding Yasmine, he ran towards the rooftop, Boyd’s voice following him from behind.
“Yasmine!!”
Damon could feel the woman in his arms tremble slightly.
“Let’s go.” She spoke, her face emotionless except for the coldness.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Stop!”
Damon certainly didn’t stop. The wind from the helicopter blew his suit, making a rustling sound.
Just in front of Damon was the helicopter. Boyd’s angry voice landed like a heavy weight.
“I told you to stop!!”
Yasmine’s gaze passed over Damon’s shoulder, landing on the man holding a gun in the distance. The strong wind
tousled his hair. His usually gentle face was now filled with rage and madness. She tightened her grip on Damon’s
shoulder.
“Yasmine, come back.”
Boyd’s voice became hoarse as he met Yasmine’s gaze. Those unwavering eyes that had been indifferent to him for
the past six years.
First, it was a serious illness, then, even when she got better, she didn’t show much emotion towards him. But he
was okay with that. As long as he was by her side, he could see her.
In the end, Yasmine didn’t say a word, her eyes still devoid of any ripples. She slowly withdrew her gaze.
That process, perhaps only lasted a second, or maybe even half a second. But it was enough to shatter a heart in
an instant.
Boyd swayed slightly, pain flashing in his eyes. “Yasmine, don’t push me.” His voice was deep and mad.
Damon glanced at Yasmine, her face showing no emotional fluctuations. He suddenly felt a chill in his heart. But
now, he couldn’t afford to think too much.
“I order you to let her go!!”
Suddenly, a shout full of anger came from behind, followed by several gunshots. No one at the scene expected that
the always polite man, the national leader of B Country, would actually open fire.
Although barging into the presidential palace and firing wildly could lead to serious charges, if someone were to
actually die by Boyd’s hand, the controversy it would spark as a national leader would be incalculable.
What’s more, Damon was not only a foreigner but also an influential figure.
The border between B Country and Y Country was a battleground for the so–called good forces of the two
countries.
There were those forced by life, those with independent stances, and those with different beliefs. Among these
people, we couldn’t estimate how many ruthless ones there were. Their ruthlessness couldn’t be summed up in a
few words. They needed to be controlled, but the ones who could truly control them were not their respective
countries, but a rebel leader they called Erebus.
In their eyes, Erebus was like an omnipotent god. Few people had really seen him, but every time they heard his
name, they felt fear.
Arms dealers, no matter where or when, were always love–hate figures. They were despised behind their backs but
had to be flattered in person. If they were offended, any slight deviation in the selection of arms purchases could
lead to irreparable losses.
Internal chaos, and imbalance of arms forces between countries, these issues were all particularly important.
But arms dealers were businessmen. They couldn’t prevent them from doing business, so the things they sold were
all to maintain the existing balance.
The rise and fall of a country almost entirely depended on these arms dealers. It was simply impossible to control
them!
The law had no effect here.
In this world, besides black and white, there was also a gray area. In this area, as long as you had enough courage,
money, and power, you could become a strong
person.
The strong were respected!
Erebus was like this, he was the master of this gray area. And as one of the few national leaders of B Country who

Nate never thought that Boyd would actually open fire. Although Damon’s stance was very clear. He wasn’t Erebus,
but the executive of the Harper Group. As a

husband, he was fulfilling his wife’s wish to bring her mother home before their wedding.
But no matter how clear his stance was, his identity, power, and status would never change!
Boyd, had he gone mad?
Damon was shot in the shoulder. A low groan made Yasmine’s calm eyes narrow slightly.
“Boyd!” Suddenly, she spoke. Her voice was cold and calm, not loud, but enough to calm the nearly out–of–control
Boyd.
“Yasmine, come back.”
“I’m going back to P City, my daughter is waiting for me there.”
“Come back, Herschel will bring her to you.”
“She’s getting hitched,” Yasmine said casually, a faint smile played on her lips. “Boyd, it’s the biggest day in a
woman’s life, something you might not quite get.”
Boyd’s pupils shrank instantly.
“I’m gonna be there for my daughter’s most crucial moment. Don’t try to stop me, you ain’t got the right.”
With that, she lifted her gaze to Damon, her eyes sliding past his shoulder.
“You still here? You wanna keep your arm or what? You fancy being a cripple?”
A glint of emotion flashed in Damon’s deep–set eyes. He looked at her intently, then scooped her up and onto the
helicopter.
