After he took the gun, he aimed at the front of the car before pulling the trigger.
With the deafening boom, the hood of the center car flew open and began emitting fumes.
The sudden turn of events startled everyone in the car.
Alex, who had always been a scaredy cat, instantly dived his head into the steering wheel.
Even Natalie subconsciously jumped and shut her eyes tight.
Only Sean was unperturbed. He looked at the smoking car hood and coldly uttered, “Wow, Shane. I can't believe
you actually shot. Let's get off!”
“Director?” Alex timidly raised his head. He stared back at Sean incredulously and stammered, “If we get off now,
we're just going to get caught.”
“So does it mean that we won't get caught if we don't get off?” Sean returned his stare with an icy cold gaze.
That shut the assistant up.
Sean briefly shut his eyes as though he was trying to regain his composure. Then, he opened them again before

His emergence triggered everyone on the helicopters to keep their guard up. Those with a gun on hand aimed their
gun at him.
Evidently, Sean noticed that. He lifted his head and peered at Shane. Chuckling, he said, “Shane, you brought so
many men with guns. You even mobilized helicopters. I see you think very highly of me.”
“Where's Natalie?” Shane had no interest in entertaining him and got straight to the point.
An emotional Natalie's eyes flew open when she heard Shane's voice. As she remained in the back of the car, tears
began flowing down uncontrollably.
Sean nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders and replied, “She's in the car.”
“Let her out. I want to see her,” demanded Shane as he aimed his gun at Sean's forehead.
Without a gun in his hand, Sean dared not go against Shane's wishes. Hence, he did as he was told and dragged
Natalie out from the backseat.
When her feet landed on the ground, her head immediately shot up to look at Shane.
Shane could tell Natalie was sobbing, but he was unable to make out what she was trying to say. Nonetheless, the
sight of her being tied up with a tape on her mouth deeply infuriated him. His eyes flared up with a murderous
glare.
“Release her!” Shane ordered.
Sean simply shrugged and mumbled, “I'm afraid...”
“I told you to release her right this instant!” Shane cut him off as his index finger shifted closer to the gun trigger.
Sean lifted both hands and cackled. “Alright, alright. I'll release her.”
He spun around and tore the tape off Natalie's mouth.
Once she was rid of it, she promptly yelled, “Shane!”
“Don't be afraid, I'm here.” Despite maintaining a stoic expression, Shane's tone softened distinctly.
However, his words were insufficient to assuage her distress. All she could do was nod.
She trusted him.
Whenever she was in danger, Shane always showed up in the nick of time. She was confident that he would save

With her piercing gaze, it was apparent to Shane that she had absolute faith in him. He took in a deep breath
before urging Sean to release Natalie of her restraints.
Sean complied and walked over to Natalie. Once he was behind her, he bent down and slowly reached out for the
knot at her back.
Just as his hand was about to land on the knot, he narrowed his eyes and lifted his jacket.
He speedily fished out a gun from his pocket and pressed it against Natalie's temple while his other hand held her in
a headlock. In a menacing voice, he shouted, “Everyone, put down your guns. Otherwise, I'll kill her first.”
With that, he poked her temple with the gun.
A shiver crept down Natalie's spine as the iciness from the gun poked her temple. Her whole body went frigid from
the contact.
Who would have thought that Sean had a gun as well?
Not even Shane had anticipated that. By this point, his expression had turned dark.
Beside him, Silas was like a cat on hot bricks. “Damn it! We didn't think he would have this trick up his sleeve. What
now, Mr. Shane? Madam is in his hands. We can't be rash!”
