Chapter 1275 Debt Of Life
It didn’t take long before the tires were punctured with a loud bang!
Morgan hadn’t even had the chance to break through the cars before their enemies reached them.
“Get out of the car!” demanded the soldiers as they pointed their guns over.
Even the tires were rendered useless, so there was absolutely nothing Charlotte and her team could do to break free.
Morgan couldn’t tap into her talent or drive everyone to safety, under those circumstances, so she stared hopelessly at Charlotte.
“F*ck it,” grumbled Lupine as she clenched her fists and suggested, “Morgan, you will leave with Ms. Lindberg while the three of us buy you girls some time.”
“Okay,” replied Morgan while nodding.
“You will all die if I leave. I’ll stay. That way, everyone will at least have a shot at surviving,” said Charlotte while frowning deeply.
“But…” Lupine was about to refute when a soldier walked over to yank at the door.
Just then, the sound of a series of roaring engines hit everybody’s ears. The cars’ blinding headlights shot over as well.
Every soldier was stunned in place. When they turned around, they saw over ten heavy-duty cars zipping over like a pack of wild animals.
The soldiers panicked and quickly went to defend their territory, but the heavy-duty cars still knocked everything and everyone out of the way.
An all-out war broke out instantly.
The soldiers were trained by the books and had virtually zero combat experience, so they were no match against the men from the heavy-duty cars.
It didn’t take long before the soldiers were forced to back away.
Lupine, Morgan, and the others took advantage of that to get out of the car with Charlotte. They were about to leave when one heavy-duty car blocked their path.
Morgan clenched her fists. She was about to fight back when the driver popped his head out and called out to her. When she saw who the guy was, she couldn’t help smiling like an ecstatic fool and blurting, “Marino!”
“Get in the car,” said Ben while opening the doors to get everyone inside.
“What are you guys doing here? How did you know we’d be in trouble?” asked Charlotte in a surprised tone.
“Mr. Nacht had been paying attention to your safety this entire time. He personally issued the order for us to rescue everyone,” answered Ben.
Charlotte turned her head and checked via the windows. She saw that the Nacht family’s convoy was already leaving, and the Laurent family’s army was forced to flee as well.
“What else does Zachary know?” asked Charlotte when she turned her attention back over.
“He knows that Mr. Lindberg has passed on and that you are in grave danger now,” replied Ben carefully.
“Where is he now?”
Charlotte looked out the windows once more. A few cars were following close behind, but it was likely that Zachary wasn’t there.
“He’s waiting for you at the airport,” replied Ben politely, “My recommendation is that you call Gordon and have him take the kids to the airport. We can meet up there. Don’t worry. No one would dare stop the Nacht family’s private jet from lifting off.”
Charlotte tilted her gaze down and considered it before instructing Lupine, “Call Gordon.”
“Understood,” replied Lupine. She was quick to call Gordon after that.
It was a mess on the other end of the line as well. As suspected, Gordon was ambushed too, but he was confident that he could break through everything. He promised to take the kids and meet up with Charlotte at the airport.
Lupine reported the matter to Charlotte.
The latter instantly asked, “Ben, can we go help Gordon out?”
“He should be fine since he has a lot of subordinates…”
“Just get your a*s over!” demanded Lupine, who was getting nervous.
Being interrupted got Ben to turn to her meekly and change his stance. He said, “Okay, then let’s head over together.”
It was already three in the morning at the time, and that night was destined to be unpleasant.
Fortunately, Charlotte had the Nacht family’s support, so she reached Gordon quickly and smoothly. Everyone rushed to the airport together.
The three kids were sleeping soundly the entire time and had no idea what had happened.
At the airport. Everyone hopped out of the car.
Charlotte saw Zachary leaning against the side of the door and smoking.
The night’s wind was caressing his hair. He had lost weight, so his thin figure seemed lonely. Despite that, the powerful aura he exuded was still as strong as it had always been.
So much had happened. Charlotte thought that she would no longer need to count on Zachary after she had become stronger and smarter. Never in her life would she have anticipated that he would still be the one to rescue her when it truly mattered.
She walked to him and wanted to thank him, but she couldn’t bring herself to do so.
