Dream on! Bennett interjected, his chilling laughter echoing. I detest threats the most! It appears you dont plan on leaving here alive. Thats perfect! I wonder if Ariana would still want to live knowing youre dead!
With that, Bennett signaled one of his men.
The man instantly understood the message, drawing his gun and aiming it at Adrian.
Mr. Fredrick, how about I make a deal with you? Bennett said, glancing at Adrian. Your friend or your woman, choose one!
Holden detested making this kind of choice. In his eyes, Ariana and Adrian held equal importance; he wouldnt abandon either of them, not in a million years!
However, he understood that avoiding making a decision wouldnt sit well with Bennett.
He realized he had to turn the tables on his own.
Checking his watch, Holden realized Ariana should have been safely escorted by the driver by now.

Experiencing a hint of relief, he met Bennetts icy stare with a smirk and stated, Sorry, I refuse to choose. Be it my friend or my woman, Im not leaving anyone behind.
Immediately after his words, the man aiming a gun at Adrian fell abruptly, his throat slit by the person behind him.
In the blink of an eye, the situation took a dramatic turn.

Bennett regained his composure first, staring in disbelief at his long-time associate who had betrayed him. The traitor had been a trusted confidant for years.
Bennett couldnt fathom when Holden had infiltrated his people.
This individual had exhibited loyalty long before any conflicts with Holden arose. How could this happen?
Before Bennett could make sense of it, the attacker removed his human-skin mask, exposing a face entirely unfamiliar to Bennett.
A disguise again!
Detecting trouble, Bennett swiftly drew his firearm, casting a suspicious gaze at Holden. How many of your men are present? he inquired coldly.
Holden said calmly, Everyone, take off your masks.
In response, more than half of Bennetts men unmasked themselves, revealing their real faces.
Bennett forced a malicious smile. Impressive work, Mr. Fredrick. I must acknowledge this. No wonder you are in charge of the Fredrick family.
Not wasting a second, Bennett began firing shots at Holden.
Luckily, Holden was agile and evaded the incoming bullets with swift movements.
Witnessing this, Adrian didnt hesitate to leap towards Bennett.
In an instant, chaos erupted. Bullets zipped through the air.
