Headley's car drove out of the parking lot and only slowed down until there were no buildings around him, and only a lonely, dilapidated building in front of him. The six-storey building, which was once a temporary dormitory on a nearby construction site, has long been the product of a demolition dispute. It is now temporarily occupied by Hedley's men.

The two gunmen downstairs with guns on their backs saw Headley's car and hurriedly ran over to help carry Luna out of the car. She was slightly conscious, but not awake yet.

"Take her to the top floor and find a room to look at. Remember, no one is allowed to touch her, understand? ”

Headley pointed to the two gunmen, and they both nodded their heads. Still uneasy, Headley asked Rhea to follow, and the three locked Luna in a room on the sixth floor, with the two gunmen guarding the door, and Rhea staying in the room.

As he went upstairs, Headley checked the staffing of the floors. In addition to Oin's team, his remaining 16 gunmen were scattered throughout the building. The second to sixth floors of this old building have a semi-open-air common corridor from which you can see below and have a great view. On the west side, there is a staircase that runs through all the corridors, which are guarded by four people, with the others scattered over the various floors.

It was 8:10 a.m., and Headley was standing in the corridor on the sixth floor, looking in the direction of the city center, and then looked at the sparse woods that surrounded him, and thought.

It wasn't his intention to kidnap Luna at this time. However, Talanat's death can interfere with the police, who will definitely investigate the murder first, and it is impossible to find it all at once. And there are no clues, the police can only expand the search area little by little. Before they could notice it, they had already left Cuaisser.

On the way here, Headley contacted his helicopter. Because of the haste of the operation, it may take a long time for the helicopter to arrive. When the time comes, he takes Luna and leaves in a helicopter, while the others flee in cars. If it's too tightly surrounded, let Oein fire from the outside and help everyone break through.

As soon as he thought of Ouin, Headley's heart was bottomless again, this kid was a good drinker, and he was greedy for a cup and made mistakes. He picked up his phone and dialed a number.

"Oin, it's me, you're okay over there, right?"

"Don't worry, boss, you've made several calls, it's okay."

"That's good, there's a bit of a change on our side."

"Oh, do you need us to go over now?"

"You wait for my call, and if someone disrupts the situation, come and help me out immediately."

"Understood."

Now Headley is much more steady, everything is arranged, just waiting for the helicopter to arrive. With Baird's ability, there may be other ways to find yourself. Then take a gamble – helicopters or Baird come first.

Hedlivan didn't expect that there was one person who was one step ahead of both the helicopter and Baird.

In the distance, the dazzling headlights of the car were shining directly at Alex's car. He drove according to the address given by the "good Samaritan", and sure enough, he found the building, and drove downstairs, opened all the windows, and shouted as he drove.

"Miss! Miss!! Where are you? Answer me! ”

The shout alarmed Headley, who gripped the railing of the hallway and shook it hard.

"Boss, someone is driving towards us, will you kill him?" The gunman downstairs asked over the walkie-talkie.

It would have been easy to kill him, but Headley was curious to know how the car had come to be.

"Don't shoot, hold him down, bring him in."

As soon as Alex's car stopped downstairs, three gunmen rushed out of the building, pointed guns at him, and told him to get out of the car. Undeterred, Alex got out of the car and grabbed one of the gunmen by the collar and yelled at him.

"You bastards! Where's my young lady? ”

The gunman punched Alex in the stomach, and the other gunman smashed him on the head with a rifle butt, and Alex took a few steps back, waving his hands incessantly. The third gunman flew up and kicked him to the ground, and before he could get up, the three men raised their guns and beat Alex so hard that he couldn't get up.

Two gunmen held Alex to the left and right, and a third gunman held a gun to his back and took him to the sixth floor, in front of Headley.

Headley knew Alex, and when he parked at the venue, he was the one who commanded him. Alex also knew Headley, and he didn't expect to meet him on such an occasion, and he couldn't help but be furious - wasn't this man Cavendis's father?

"It's you...... Usually pretending to be a good person, is he actually a kidnapper? Look at it this way, your son is certainly not a good cake! ”

"Say whatever you want about me, but don't insult my son. Today's events have nothing to do with him, and when you go back, don't talk nonsense. ”

"Go back? I didn't plan to go back alive! ”

"Answer me honestly, and I won't kill you."

Headley said, revealing the pistol he had used to kill Talenaut, pulling the safety and tapping Alex's heart a few times.

"Say, how did you find this? Did the police ask you to come? ”

"Police? Who knows what they're doing! I saw it when you ran away, and I followed! ”

"Lying, looking at the car and catching up? So how did you know Luna was taken away? ”

"It just happened to happen, believe it or not! If you want to shoot, do it! ”

"Hmph, don't worry, I won't kill you, you're still useful. Ever, lock him up with Luna, he's better than Rhea. ”

Ivor understood what Headley meant, and ordered the gunmen to handcuff Alex's hands behind his back, and pushed him into Luna's room, where he locked the door as soon as Rhea came out.

Alex, who was beaten and bruised, fell to the ground with his face, and he couldn't stand up for a while in pain, so he could only turn his body over and lie on the ground first.

"Alex? What are you doing here? ”

Seeing Alex, Luna, who had been sitting in the corner, stood up, but stepped on her dress and fell headlong.

"Miss!"

Alex, who reacted quickly, rolled twice on the ground, and finally caught up - using his body as a cushion for Luna, but being hit by Luna like this made the wound on his body hurt even more.

"Uh-huh——! Are you alright, miss? ”

"Ah, I'm sorry."

Luna pulls off her stumbling gown, sits up, and lifts Alex to her feet. The room was empty, and the two sat against the wall, using Luna's gown as a cushion.

"I'm here...... Save yours, Miss. Alex answers Luna's initial question.

Luna shook her head and smiled wryly. Obviously, Alex himself is also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and he also said that he came to save people. Seeing Alex's tuxedo covered in dust and mud and her nose bleeding, Luna sighed.

"You really follow me all day long."

"Because I'm Miss's servant."

"The servants don't have anything like you. Forget it, I also have a companion when you came, and I was beaten just now? Let me see. ”

Luna leaned over and cupped Alex's face with both hands, observing the injuries on his face. Alex's muscles tensed all over his body, his body temperature rose sharply, and his breathing was rapid.

"So hot? Fever? ”

With Luna's thinking, if the wound is not treated in time, the wound becomes infected and inflamed, and the person is prone to fever. She had no idea that this "fever" was actually an "internal injury".

"No, it's not, miss......"

Alex shrank his head, dodging Luna's hand. But Luna didn't let him go, and went up to untie Alex's clothes, and carefully touched his chest with her hand through his shirt, from top to bottom, causing Alex to tremble.

"Miss, don't you need it?"

"Don't move. Does it hurt where? ”

"No, no ......"

Determining that there were no serious injuries, Luna went to check Alex's arm again, removing his shirt from his left shoulder to reveal his shoulder and arms, and was stunned.

Between the shoulder and the elbow, there is a scar five or six centimeters long, which contrasts with the flat skin around it. Luna could tell that although the wound had been treated, it had not been completely de-inflammated and cleaned, and the wound had proliferated muscles, and it was thrown together in a mess, like a raised hill in the plain.

With her hand on the scar, Luna shook her head, "Which irresponsible doctor did this?" ”

Alex shrank again, "It's okay, the doctor is a good doctor, but I didn't take care of it myself." ”

"How long? It's been a long time, right? ”

"Well, it's been a long time."

"When you get out, I'll take care of it for you, it's not good-looking."

"Then, thank you, Miss."

Alex let out a sigh of relief, still a little excited in his heart. There are not many opportunities to be alone with the lady like this, and it can't be counted when driving. He is usually mostly responsible for foreign affairs, and the people who are often busy with Miss are Mobiki and Crane. After all, when it comes to housework, he is not as skilled as Mobiki, and in terms of dressing, Krant's taste is a cut higher than him.

Even so, he wants to do something by Luna's side, anything. That's what happened when Luna received the Order of the Yatuk and he watched it on television.

At that time, Widkan was looking for a driver. He did his best to squeeze out the other competitors, and finally got his wish. Then, he gave full play to his wit and showed it every chance he could.

And today's scene can be said to be the biggest reward I can get. Thinking of this, Alex was also a little grateful to Headley.

"Miss, aren't you scared of being caught here?"

From the moment she entered the house, Luna's reaction was beyond Alex's imagination, without the slightest fear or panic.

"It's a lie to say you're not afraid, but that's okay. The police will definitely come to our rescue, won't they? Luna replied.

Alex agreed, but his heart went up and down. Miss is so simple, bad people do bad things, the police will come to punish them, the world is so simple in her mind. She couldn't figure out why Headley had hid her here in the first place, rather than just moving her away, and Cavendish being tied up, and the corpse, all of which must have been related.

For Headley, killing people may have been unexpected. If that's the case, he's already hatching bigger plans, such as moving Luna further afield, or even going abroad. Once she leaves Videa, Luna will disappear forever.

As for himself, eighty percent of them are dead. Regardless of Hedley's reason for capturing Luna, he would not let his unexpected self live.

Alex silently clenched his fists, firmly on the idea that Luna must be rescued before things become irreparable.

At first glance, he was unarmed and could not possibly be able to outwit 16 heavily armed gunmen. But on the way, Alex transmitted his location to Widkan in real time via GPS. As soon as Widkan called the police, the police would soon find the place, and then he would have a chance to make a small move.

"How did you get that injury?"

Luna's abrupt questioning interrupts Alex's train of thought. He let out an "ah" and subconsciously said the answer.

"I've done some petty theft before, and once I was found out and cut with a knife."

After saying that, he regretted it again.

"Petty theft? Why? Don't you have a job? Never went to school? ”

"Before I met you, Miss, no."

The hidden meaning of this phrase is "Miss, you have changed me", and of course Luna can't hear it.

All she heard was the sound of sirens and the sound of police shouting over loudspeakers.

"The people inside come out! Drop your weapon! Hand over the hostages! ”

*****

The presence of the police did not surprise Headley. If Alex can follow here, so can the police. He strolled down the hallway, surrounded by Ivor, Rhea, and two gunmen.

"Call Oin, Ivor, and tell him to come right over."

"Yes."

Headley glanced down and found that not only ordinary police cars, but also SWAT vehicles had arrived, and countless police officers surrounded the building, and the light of the lights came in a volley, and the police officers who got out of the car quickly stood up and aimed their guns at themselves. Headley has no fear against this lineup, even if Widkan is among them.

"Headley! What did you do to my daughter!? Vidkan yelled.

"Don't worry, Widkan," Headley's tone was the same as when they had met an hour ago, "she's fine, or will you see for yourself?" ”

With a wave of his hand, the two gunmen opened the door and escorted Alex and Luna out of the room, allowing them to appear in the hallway and stand next to Hydley.

"Daddy!"

"Luna!" Widkan hurriedly waved to the policemen, "Don't shoot!" That's my daughter! ”

The team's SWAT Captain, George, the man who had first called, stood in front of Widkan, holding a megaphone, and squinted his eyes to look upstairs.

"Mr. Policeman, think of a way!"

"I know!"

George told Vedkan to be taken to the back, and the man would only get in the way. After thinking about it, he decided to snipe again. Headley is the leader of this group, and as soon as he dies, the others will naturally give up resistance. George wants to talk to Headley to see if he can move, and as long as he gets some distance away from Luna, the sniper hiding in the car can be confident of a headshot.

"Mr. Zoluz, as the dean of the White Cross and a powerful entrepreneur in Cuaiser, you actually did such a thing, doesn't this make your years of hard work come to naught?"

Headley sneered: "The hospital is just a small business, and it is not worth mentioning compared to my future career." ”

"May I ask what it is?"

"You're not qualified, George."

"Then you at least tell me why you kidnapped Mr. Sarudo's daughter?" George continued, "As far as I know, what happened to you that you helped Mr. Sarudo win the land in the bid for Leedfield Street and let him build the Sorting House, and that your son and his daughter are still in love?" ”

George wanted to impress Headley with his children's words, but he didn't know the real reason why Headley kidnapped Luna, so he naturally couldn't shake Headley's determination.

"I need this girl, that's all. I can't talk about the reason, you can guess it! Get ready! ”

At the sound of an order, the gunman behind Headley pointed his guns at Luna and Alex, and the hearts of everyone downstairs instantly rose to their throats.

"George! The person who took you disappeared from front of me at once! Otherwise, I'll have to make these two people disappear! ”

Vidkan, who was persuaded by the police to go to the back, lost control of his emotions again, ran to the front, and pointed at Headley and yelled. George had to force him in the car with three policemen.

"Don't do anything stupid, Mr. Zoluz! You can't escape! ”

"Less nonsense! Get out! ”

The gunman's gun was held against Luna and Cavendish on the head, and George, knowing that he couldn't hold it any longer, directed the police to slowly retreat towards the surrounding woods.

"All retreat!"

Looking at the crowd moving downstairs, Headley smirked. But he didn't know that he could control the police, but he couldn't control the people around him.

As he was led into the hallway, Alex shook his right arm slightly, allowing an iron needle to slip out of his sleeve and fall into his hand. This is one of the tools he used to use in the past. When he arrived, his clumsy performance made Headley let his guard down, thinking that he was just a headless servant, completely unaware that Alex was aiming at the gunman next to him while smashing the keyhole of the handcuffs with an iron needle during the confrontation.

While Headley was shouting, Alex was just done with his job. The handcuffs made a "click", which was muffled by Headley's loud voice.

"Master, the helicopter will be here soon," Ivor leaned over to Headley, "but ......"

"What's wrong?"

"Oin hasn't answered the phone."

"Fight again."

Headley said impatiently. Eighty percent of Oin's alcohol addiction has been committed again. But no matter what, his subordinates should have picked up the phone right away.

20 seconds passed. "Master, there's still no one to pick it up."

Nervousness emanated from Headley's heart and spread to the other three. They knew Headley's plans, they knew the important role Oin played, and they knew what would happen without him. Everyone became agitated and distracted.

Now is the time!

Alex, who had been standing honestly, suddenly broke free of the handcuffs, picked up Luna, knocked down a gunman in front of him, and strode towards the stairs at the end of the hallway. The other gunman reacted quickly and pointed his gun at Alex, but he did not dare to shoot without Headley's order.

"This ...... Shoot! ”

Seeing that Alex was about to turn the corner and go downstairs with two steps left, in a hurry, Headley gave an order. The gunman's sprint shots shoot out bullets. Alex was turning, but the bullet was far faster than him, and he was shot a total of five times in the leg, waist, and back.

"Wow!"

Losing his balance, Alex stumbled, kicked into the air, tumbled down the stairs, and fell to the corner of the stairs. The bullet was embedded in his muscles, like wedges, wrestling his muscles. His back was fine, but the gunshot wounds to his waist and legs made it difficult for him to even stand, let alone escape.

"Alex? Alex! ”

Luna, who collapsed in Alex's arms, shouted his name loudly, fearing that Alex would lose consciousness from the pain. Unsure of hearing Luna's voice or the sound of footsteps approaching behind him, Alex gritted his teeth and stood up.

"Rest assured...... Miss, I'm ...... It will definitely ...... Save your ......"

The wheezing sound separated the sentence into several paragraphs. Luna asks Alex to let her go, and continuing to run away will only speed up the blood loss, but Alex certainly doesn't listen. It's no fun to escape, but Luna must be allowed to escape anyway!

As the pursuer appears at the top of the stairs and raises his spur, Alex uses his last strength to hold Luna against the staircase guardrail. Below was the ground, and he lay on the guardrail, kicked his feet, and his whole body climbed over the guardrail, and he fell.

"Woo-oh-oh——!!!"

In mid-air, Alex maintains his position with Luna below, hugging Luna and falling until gravity collides violently with the ground. The force of the impact passed through his body, through his internal organs and bones all over his body, forcing a large mouthful of blood out.

With Alex's protection, Luna landed safely without being too badly injured. Seeing that the two actually jumped off the building, Headley was dumbfounded. At this time, George, who saw everything in his eyes, immediately gave an order.

"Group AB firepower suppression! Group C rescues the hostages! Rush up! ”

The shootout began. With no hostages, Headley immediately left his men behind and ran to the roof alone. Fortunately, the helicopter also arrived, and his subordinates somewhat restrained the police fire. Headley scrambled aboard the helicopter in a hail of bullets. Fortunately, the helicopter did not eat many bullets and flew away safely, leaving behind a dozen groups of dragons without a leader, a gunman who scolded the street.

Alex lay on the ground. There was a lot of gunfire around him, and he gradually couldn't hear it, and he gradually couldn't see the bright moon in the night sky. In a trance, he could still hear Luna's cry and see Luna's tearful face. Then, feeling someone touching his body, he lifted himself onto the stretcher and moved quickly.

The body that was still in severe pain just now gradually disappeared at this moment. His limbs were out of control, unable to move, and only his head could still turn slightly, and he saw Luna, who was stumbling along with the stretcher.

“…… Lake...... I don't...... You're ...... dead."

Yes, that's it, it's not clear, but it's that. Ten years ago, on Christmas Eve, Miss said the same thing. She's still the same as before, she hasn't changed.

Alex smiled. The trembling lips, accumulating enough breath, said the last word.

"Christmas Eve...... Kindness...... Finally...... Yes...... Dew ......"

Less than twenty minutes after the ambulance departed, Alex was pronounced dead by doctors.
