The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella)

Chapter 2122

"Stop struggling, it's no use," Serena said coldly, her voice cutting through the chaos as she looked upon the injured and fallen.

"You're all going to die anyway, so why waste your energy?"

Jack tumbled into the heap of chairs, nearly as broken apart as the splintered wood around him. But he knew he couldn't afford to

stay down; his boss had given him a task that wasn’t completed yet—he had to ensure the safety of the Collins family as they left.

Wolf reached out to them, pulling them up with one grab.

The several bodyguards who had been helping with the chairs had already been thrown out the window by Chester, it was

unknown whether they were dead or alive.

Jack and Wolf then helped Bernard and Cornelia up from among the wreckage, protecting them behind their backs. Shoulder to

shoulder, they faced the seven or eight menacing Chesters together.

Behind Romeo and Arabella, there were Kenneth and Louisa to protect, as well as the unconscious Stinger.

The two of them stood next to each other, whispering their strategy as they faced the dozen or so Chesters in front of them.

"Bella, forget about us, just get out." Louisa was nearly in tears. She knew for her daughter and future son-in-law, escaping through

the window with the help of chairs wouldn't be a problem.

But the problem was these two children were too filial and responsible; they'd never leave their family behind.

Kenneth knew it was futile to persuade his daughter, so he pinned his hopes on Romeo.

"Romeo, I've never asked you for anything before, but today, please, take Bella and get out. If anything happens to her, we

couldn't bear it."

"Don't worry, sir. I'll keep Bella safe and get us all out," Romeo and Arabella had already discussed it, each holding a knife, they

stabbed at the oncoming Chesters.

They were searching for Chester's weakness, probing with their blades at Chesters’ shoulders and arms and quickly shifting to

another target when it wasn't effective.

At this point, Jack was feeling overwhelmed; these Chesters were like invincible monsters, draining all his strength.

He realized he had underestimated the situation. When he'd first heard Serena had taken the Collins family, he was dismissive,

thinking she could not cause much trouble, so he'd brought only a handful of his own men to meet with Romeo's crew.

But even combined, their hundred men weren't enough to fend off these Chesters.

Suddenly, a voice from outside broke through.

"Boss, catch the bottles."

From outside, one of Arabella's men threw in sbottles - knockout powder they kept in the car for emergencies.

If Chester hadn't thrown him out the window, he wouldn't have had the chance to fetch these items.

Jack caught one of the bottles in a swift move, and Arabella and Romeo snagged the others flying in.

The powder was thrown at the Chesters, but it had no effect.

"They're not really human, so the powder's useless on them," Arabella realized.

"Is there anything else?" Jack shouted to the others outside.

Quickly, another bag was tossed in. "Jack, boss, catch this."

Inside the bag was several small bombs Arabella had crafted, no larger than ping-pong balls.

Jack, with his advantageous position akin to being the first to get the moon by being close to the water tower, quickly leapt up with

the help of a chair to catch the bag. After catching it, he handed two to Wolf, kept two for himself, and threw the remaining whole

bag to Arabella.
