Elsie was tightly gripped by Harvey as he desperately made their way to the back of the church.
But where could they possibly go?
The police had the church surrounded on all sides. Harvey was cornered, with no way out!
"Just stop struggling..."
Elsie, held close in his embrace, her face as pale as a sheet, lips turning a shade of blue from being choked for
too long, gasped, "You... you've got nowhere to run. You and Avery... it's all over!"
"Shut up!" Harvey roared, his eyes bloodshot, his body trembling uncontrollably.
But Elsie couldn't help but laugh, a mix of relief, joy, and satisfaction twinkling in
her eyes.
Cornered, Harvey had no choice but to drag her up an old ten-story bell tower at the back of the church.
The tower was sealed off. Their only hope was a helicopter for a miraculous escape.
But when Harvey tried calling his contacts, it was as if they had all conspired against him, not a single one
answered his calls.
"Damn! A bunch of ungrateful curs!" he exploded in rage.

actually believe those rats from Helgen would still dance to your tune?" Elsie laughed brightly, her disdain and
mockery undisguised, “Alliances made for profit end when the profit's gone. Alliances made for power crumble
when the power fades.
You and Avery... you're nothing but stray dogs now, with nothing ahead but a dead end!"
"| did all this for us! Do you have any idea the lengths I've gone to be with you? For years, I've dreamed of
making you my wife!"
Harvey tightened his grip on Elsie, nearly breaking, his mind on the brink of collapse, "Ellie... why can't you see
my heart? Why curse me? Have | not been good to you?"
"These years, I've been trampled on, abused, used by Avery... sent to the beds of different men to further his
greed."
Elsie spoke with bitterness, her eyes closed in pain as the malicious laughter of those men echoed in her ears,
the degrading scenes flashing before her eyes, "You just watched for years. Did you ever lift a finger to help
me?"
Harvey was shaken, the hand holding his gun trembling uncontrollably.
"You were afraid of Avery, terrified. No, not just fear, there was admiration, a willingness to submit to him. And
me? | was just a prize you'd claim when the twas right, after I'd lost all value to him. After all, you've been
his loyal dog for years; he had no reason to deny you.
Harvey, save those lies for yourself. Spare me."
Elsie's words were merciless, piercing through his facade of devotion.
"Ellie..." Harvey was torn between anger and heartache, but ultimately, he had no counter.
Because her words were sharp and true.
This time, he couldn't even lie to himself.
"Ellie!"
Elvis was the first to reach the top of the tower, his grip tight on his gun, pointed straight at Harvey's head, "Let
her go, | won't ask again!"
Elsie, her wedding dress soaked with sweat, looked tearfully at Elvis as he approached, unable to speak, shaking
her head in silent plea.
But she knew, retreat was not in Elvis's vocabulary.
"Go ahead, shoot! If you do, she won't make it either!"
Harvey laughed defiantly, challenging the man before him, "Do it, and she dies too!"
Sweat beaded on Elvis's forehead, then rolled down his chiseled features.
His heart was racing, fearing what might happen next, his hand steady only by sheer will.
Elsie wasn't just anyone; she was his world.
He couldn't risk it, couldn't afford to lose.
"What do you want?" Elvis's voice wavered slightly, his internal conflict evident.
"Two hundred million dollars and a plane within half an hour! Letand Ellie leave this place!"
Elvis ground his teeth in frustration.
Nearby, hiding and ready to strike were Cassius and Aaron.
Aaron cursed under his breath, "Two hundred million? In half an hour? Even if we emptied every bank in the city,
we wouldn't have that much!"
"We can."
Cassius's stoic face was shadowed, his voice cold, "Use my card. | have enough."
