Chapter 309
Carl narrowed his bloodshot eyes at Ophelia, surprise flickering briefly in his gaze. He would never expect to see her here.
Ophelia drove a mud-splattered bulletproof SUV, maneuvering round the mercenaries. With their hands full and unable to turn quickly, she circled them with ease.
Eric rolled down the car window and launched a surprise attack from behind the mercenaries. Ray set up his heavy machine gun and started firing at those on the boat. They absolutely couldn’t let them escape like this. “Drive over to that hill,” Kenneth instructed. With trees and a higher elevation, it was an advantageous position.
The usually composed Fabio was now unsettled. He snatched a submachine gun from a mercenary and fought back, aiming directly at the special forces officers.
Ophelia couldn’t drive up the hill, so she parked the bulletproof SUV in front of the officers, shielding them from the bullets.
The tires of the SUV were blown out, the glass was covered in bullet holes, and the cracks in the window were becoming more obvious.
Suddenly, the window shattered, and Kenneth immediately protected Ophelia. He quickly opened the car door and got out, fighting hand-to-hand with the mercenaries.
Ray’s bullets were getting low, and the car was filled with empty shell casings. Holding the machine gun in one hand, he pulled Eric out of the car, using it as cover while continuing to attack towards the river. Meanwhile, Melanie and DarkHawk finished their task at the back and hurried over in their car.
Ophelia skillfully grabbed a gun from a mercenary, saving a severely wounded officer and helping him to the back of the
car.
Kenneth, agile as ever, teamed up with the injured officers to quickly take down several opponents.
Melanie’s long-range shooting was very precise. Just as Ophelia was struggling against the mercenary in front of her, Melanie took him down with a single shot.
Their eyes met briefly in the air, and Ophelia nodded slightly before moving on to attack the next target.
DarkHawk watched Kenneth and Ophelia fighting the mercenaries together from the car. Their teamwork was seamless. The seemingly fragile girl turned out to be deadly with every move, as skilled as any guild member. After all, someone under Kenneth’s wing could never be mediocre, This inevitably reminded him of Sherry. Even though his right leg wasn’t in the best shape, he got out of the car to fight alongside his old guild members. Back in the day, he was also a core member of the guild.
As Fabio’s cargo was loaded onto the ship and it set sail, Ophelia turned to exchange a look with Kenneth.
Kenneth knew what she was thinking, and a frown creased his brow. In the midst of distraction, a mercenary aimed his gun at Kenneth from behind.
“Kenneth, watch out!”
“Kenneth!” Seeing this, Ophelia immediately sprinted over and leaped into Kenneth’s arms.
Gunfire erupted from all around.
09:55 Mon,
Chapter 309
Everyone turned to see DarkHawk and the mercenary fall to the ground together.
Kenneth’s eyebrows knitted together, a strange emotion flickered in his eyes.
DarkHawk lay on the ground with several gunshot wounds, looking at the sky as blood oozed from his mouth and his prosthetic leg shifted awkwardly. He turned his head to look at Kenneth, a calm smile on his lips. He could finally reunite with the Sherry. He missed her deeply. He didn’t even get the chance to speak before he closed his
eyes.
Kenneth’s jaw twitched slightly, his eyes were menacing, and his face was devoid of any extra emotions as he instructed his men to take away the body.
He lowered his gaze to Ophelia, who was somehow determined to protect him from the bullets. He was angry that she would risk her life for him. Wearing a bulletproof vest didn’t mean she wouldn’t get hurt.
Ophelia glanced at DarkHawk, not expecting things to turn out this way. He truly didn’t have to do what he did, but there was no time to dwell on regrets. Fabio’s ship had already set sail.
She quickly ran up the hill, with Kenneth right behind her. Together, they jumped onto the ship.
Ophelia grabbed a mercenary’s gun barrel, elbowed him in the chest, and as his grip loosened, she swiftly seized the gun, loaded it, and finished him with one shot.
Kenneth also grabbed a gun, and together they easily took down the four remaining mercenaries on the ship.
Seeing this, Fabio had no choice but to come out and negotiate, or he wouldn’t make it out today. Behind him, a bald man raised a gun, aiming it at the two.
“Hey, that’s rude. Put the gun down,” Fabio said, smiling, “May I have your names? I love making new friends,” He spoke slowly, his eyes sizing up the man and woman before him. He couldn’t believe that there were such people in Heloria. “You like making friends, huh? Well, how about making some in jail? Oh, wait. With the amount you’ve got this time, you’d probably get the death sentence,” Ophelia declared, pointing her gun at him. This time, he couldn’t get away. Otherwise, it would take another two years to catch him, and who knew how many police officers might have to sacrifice themselves by then.
“You remind me of my daughter, She’s about your age.”
“Having a father like you, I truly feel sorry for your daughter,” Ophelia said coldly, a faint sneer on her lips.
“Young lady, you’re still inexperienced. There’s a lot you don’t understand. Not everyone is on this road willingly. Once you step onto it, there’s no turning back. Everyone wants to be a good person.”
Hearing these words, Ophelia found it ridiculous. The words “good person” coming from a major drug dealer’s mouth was pure sarcasm.
“Don’t act all innocent. Nobody forced you to start smuggling drugs,” Ophelia knew he was just stalling for time. Likewise, she was waiting for the police to arrive.
“You’ve said a bunch, but it’s really just to take the goods and money. If you genuinely want to save yourself, you can jump into the river right now.
“So take a good look at your greedy face and still want to act like the good person? You’re not worthy of that in this life.” For the first time, Fabio was taught a lesson by a young girl. He held back his temper. “Okay, name your price.” Kenneth, standing on the side, snorted. That was a line he usually said to others.

Chapter 309
Fabio glanced at Kenneth, Hunking him looked somewhat familar but left no strong impression.
Just then, a fleet of helicopters swiftly flew over from a distance, Police lights flashed outside the dense forest.
Ophelia exchanged a look with Kenneth. In perfect sync, they moved forward from left and right to pin down the target.
The bald man fired wildly twice, only to be kicked onto the deck by Kenneth, who then shot him in the leg. The man shouted in pain.
Ophelia clamped Fabio’s arms, pinning him against the railing. Turn the ship around.”
“Okay,” Kenneth shot the bald man’s hand again, making sure he was no threat to Ophelia before turning and walking into the cabin.
The ship slowly began to turn around. Fabio started to panic, struggling with all his strength. “My wife is dead. I can’t let my daughter be without a father.”
“Hmph. You realize your daughter could lose her father? What about those officers who died because of drugs? Their parents- lost sons. Wives lost husbands. And children lost fathers! All because of you drug dealers.” Ophelia held him tightly, not loosening her grip at all. “You know how many officers’ lives are in your hands. If we don’t catch you, justice cannot be served.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the ship suddenly shook violently.
