Lea held Shannon’s hand and comforted her. Her face was calm and her eyes were cold. She was not afraid at all.

Since Yannis was here, the assassin wouldn’t be able to succeed.

As Lea held her hand, Shannon calmed down almost immediately.

Yannis glanced at Lea and then at the corpse hanging out the window.

A cold light flashed in Lea’s eyes. She let go of Shannon’s hand and reached out to grab the corpse’s

arm.

Yannis understood and grabbed the other arm. The two of them exerted force and pushed the corpse out the window.

Lea glanced up and saw two people squeezing through the crowd towards them.

Their swift figures and cold auras were wrapped with killing intent.

These were professional assassins.

The moment she noticed them, Yannis did too.

Upon discovering them, the two assassins brazenly rushed over.

“Let’s go,” Yannis said, moving against the crowd of people to block the assassins.

Lea

gave Shannon a look.

Shannon had already entered the stairwell, so Lea followed her quickly.

They took the stairs. When they reached the fifth floor, they noticed that the elevator, stairs, and emergency exits were all available. The crowd was evacuating in all directions, under the direction of the hotel staff.

Lea continued taking the stairs, moving quickly toward the first floor.

There were even more staff on the first floor. The hotel manager was personally leading the staff to care for all the guests.

The fire on the sixth floor had not been put out yet. No one could stay in the building, so they were all led to the large plaza outside.

Temporary tents had already been set up in the plaza, with a high level of service to ensure their guests were as comfortable as possible.

“Miss, this way.” One of the staff gestured for her to leave.

Lea followed a few women with children out of the hotel where a few female staff were already taking care of all the women and children.

One of the staff handed a child to her mother and came up to Lea. “Miss, there are still empty seats

here. Please rest here.

Lea followed her to the west side of the square, where there were fewer people.

“Over here. You can rest in the tent. We’ll escort you back once it’s safe.” The staff told Lea.

She turned around, took a bottle of mineral water from the service counter, and handed it to Lea,

saying, “Here you go.”

Lea reached out to take it but felt a sudden cold aura head toward her. Lea was faster, thrusting out the fruit knife she had hidden in her sleeve.

Before the woman could react, Lea had already stabbed her,

The female assassin, who was disguised as a service staff, was stunned. She grabbed Lea’s wrist and tried to stab her abdomen with a short military knife.

Lea wanted to retreat but she was being held with such force that she couldn’t move. She raised her leg and kicked but could not break free from the assassin’s grasp.

Seeing that she was about to be stabbed by the knife, Lea’s heart sank.

Suddenly, a figure flashed out, looping an arm around the female assassin’s neck. The powerful force almost broke her neck, and she quickly let go of Lea.

Caught off guard, Lea fell to the ground with a thud.

The light from the distance shone on her face, revealing the blood all over her white pajamas.

After stabbing the female assassin, her hands were covered in blood.

“Lea!”

When Lea heard the voice, she realized that it was Alfred.

He had already pushed the assassin away and was heading toward Lea.

“Don’t come over!” As the words left her lips, Alfred was already on one knee in front of her.

He grabbed her hand and said anxiously, “Where are you hurt? Is it serious? I’ll send you to the hospital.”

“No, it’s not my blood. Don’t look!” She pulled her and away forcefully.

The hand around her wrist suddenly stiffened.

Lea could feel his body twitching uncontrollably as his muscles hardened.

“Alfred, you…”

Lea looked up at him and met his eyes. The light in his eyes was dimming. They were dark and malicious, and his eyes were red.

Her heart sank, as she stayed frozen. All of a sudden, Lea put her arms around his neck and kissed him.

She had kissed him once before, but she still had no experience so she was clumsy and a little flustered. Lea didn’t know how to proceed from here.

However, like a moth to a flame, Lea tried to use this method to pull him back to his senses.

As expected, Alfred’s attention was diverted.

face His dark eyelashes fluttered, and his pitch–black eyes gradually lit up. He looked at the small! that was inches away from his. Her tall nose and long eyelashes fluttered against the bridge of his

nose.

Her soft and sweet lips were mixed with a familiar scent.

Alfred clasped the back of her head with one hand and her vest with the other, kissing her back.

His movements were jerky and clumsy like hers, but they were very fierce. He devoured her and pulled her deeply into him.

Lea felt a sharp pain before her mouth filled with blood.

She realized he’d bitten her.

Subconsciously, Lea retreated, wanting to put some distance between them.

However, Alfred tightened his grip on her, as if he was afraid that she would escape.

Lea was shocked again. She figured that his blood phobia was acting up, causing him to lose his rationality. Although she was in pain she didn’t want to avoid him and just lay against him, letting

him kiss her.

Alfred paused for a moment before kissing her even more passionately. However, it was very gentle and did not hurt her.

Lea felt as if her lips had been sealed and she couldn’t breathe, feeling a little suffocated. At that

moment, she felt like she was in a daze. Meanwhile. Alfred was passionate, and burning hot as if he wanted to melt her into him.

It didn’t seem like they had only known each other for a short time. It was more like they loved each other so deeply, it was etched into their very souls, so they couldn’t stop themselves now that they had a hold on each other.

The man in front of her seemed to be the Alfred from her previous life who had travelled through time and space.

“Alfred…” His name slipped out from her lips.

There was a loud crash as the female assassin who had been kicked over by them picked up a heavy box and smashed it against the back of Alfred’s head.

Alfred fell to the ground.

The assassin raised her knife and attacked her original target, Lea.

All of a sudden, Craig appeared from the side, knocking the assassin to the ground and immobilizing her.

By the time Lea had left the hotel, Craig and his men had already dealt with the assassins within the hotel. They’d left the hotel and witnessed Alfred attacking this female assassin but they had not approached.

However, Craig had not expected the both of them to start making out at this time when they were surrounded by danger. They’d kissed with such passion, that it seemed impossible to break it up.

Craig had stood rooted to the ground.

The fire had been deliberately started by the assassin so they could get access to Lea. The area of damage was not too big, so everything had been settled within half an hour.

The guests returned to their rooms.

Some guests were still worried about the safety of the hotel and immediately checked out of the hotel.

Lea and the others returned to the hotel. Their rooms were changed to the eighth floor.

Shannon checked the hotel’s occupancy information online. Sure enough, she found that a hacker had checked Lea’s occupancy information and found her room.

After replaceing out this information, the assassin set a fire to cause chaos so that he could replace an opportunity to attack Lea.

After what had happened, they were confident that the assassins would not try anything else for the

time being.

The hotel no longer had Lea’s check–in information, so the hackers would not be able to replace the information.

Craig even modified the entire hotel’s security system and secretly arranged for better bodyguards.

Even if someone came to assassinate Lea again, they would die trying.

They had an interview with Conrad University in the morning so Shannon went to her room to sleep.

Craig’s–men were guarding the hotel and Yannis was keeping watch at Lea’s door. Seeing that he had

to leave, Lea approached him. “It’s fine. Go back and rest.”

Yannis looked at her and then at Craig, who was waiting along the corridor in the distance. He said, “In the afternoon, they were the ones who asked me to come later in the day and arranged a room

for me.”

Yannis was loyal to her. Although he also believed that Alfred’s people were protecting her, he still told her everything.

Lea had already suspected that Craig and the others had made arrangements. Now, she understoo

even more.

If they hadn’t taken the necessary measures beforehand, Lea was sure she wouldn’t have escaped easily.

She nodded. “I understand. I’m going to get some rest.”

Yannis also returned to his room.

Craig watched Yannis from afar and frowned, his eyebrows bunching tightly together. This was first time he had seen such a stubborn person.

Craig clucked his tongue quietly. ‘No wonder he does so well in the boxing ring. Without killin him, there’s no way to defeat him.
