Chapter 122: Chapter 122

Edgar clutching his shoulders as he felt his throbbing head, it turned out Bruce was really sly someone had hit him from behind when he was about to restrain Bruce from going after Leo and this time he was tied to the chair that was Leo's.

Edgar let out a fury as one of his men ran into the dark place.

"Sorry Sir I was too late to save you" He said.

"Untie this knot quickly, we have to go after that bastard Bruce before he finds Leo and his wife," Edgar says, making the boy rush to untie his hands, then release him, running right out, hoping if Bruce hasn't caught Leo and alana yet.

2 months ago

Edgar found out that Bruce was going to make a big project in the country that he's currently in, that Edgar and Bruce were living in the same place, but after his conflict with Leo's father and decided to move to this Italian state and decided to go on with his business and develop it in Italy.

Offered to help him become one of the investors on the casino and nightclub in Italy to make Edgar a little frowning, Edgar a little surprised how Bruce could have had such a huge project, when he still hadn't taken control of the ocean assets of his dream decades ago, when he had told Edgar before moving to Italy and after Edgar discovered that Bruce had some shady business on the project.

First of all, Edgar just agreed to be one of the investors and went along with the plot that Bruce was playing, when in reality Edgar did not agree with Bruce's plan because he felt guilty about Leo having had a falling out with his father, which he probably didn't want to expose right now.

He chose to keep it all to himself until Bruce said he was going to end Leo made Edgar more hesitant to support himself, until Edgar saw how much love he had with alana and Leo, as he had with his now quiet girlfriend.

That's why before Bruce came, Edgar told me that he was going to rescue Leo, who initially caused Leo to unbelieve his forehead, with the offer of the man with the scar on his face, but when Edgar untied his hands only Leo believed that the man really wanted to help him, But then Edgar told me that Leo had to pretend to be on the hook because Bruce was planning on taking his wife, and that's when the plan came in and Edgar managed to lure Leo and alana out.

But now that Edgar's back in his sights and his eyes are all over the woods, some shots are heard over long distances, making him run even more quickly, hoping the shots won't be enough to take out Leo and alana.

"You'd better hide in that bush," he shouted as soon as Bruce's men showed up,Edgar immediately took up his rifle while hiding behind the bushes, and one of Bruce's men was shot down, causing Bruce to run his sights on who had been secretly shooting those men who had now fallen off.

"Get out, Edgar, I know to hide here to save Leo and his wife, if you're not such a coward, fight me," Bruce made Edgar peek through the bushes, leaving two of his men now that Bruce's holding a bullet in his hand, Edgar then running his sights in the other direction.

While Leo and alana were increasingly made uneasy as several shots were heard from there and Bruce's screams were close to them, but unfortunately as the ground beneath her began to crack and fall into the cliffs beneath it, alana sigged and invited Bruce's men who were in the vicinity.

"How we're really gonna get caught" alana blured in her panicked face while looking at Leo with her worried face

"Going up first will help you, after which we will think about how to fight Bruce's men," Leo said, making alana nod her head and climb up to his left side assisted by Leo, as the lad ran over to Bruce, Leo pulled alana in and went into hiding behind the big tree while he was about to go out into the open, but alana accidentally grabbed his wrist.

"We're hiding here, I'm sure the man with the scars is here to save us," alana said, making Leo shake his head.

"It's my business with my uncle, I have to finish" said Leo, who wants the whole thing done, Leo doesn't blame it if Bruce wants to take over all of the ocean assets, because Leo would give it to him willingly, but Leo hopes his uncle will no longer pursue him and alana yet, rather, alana shakes his head with tears that are now beginning to wet his cheeks.

"Do you think your uncle would just approve of your plan, he's being sly, maybe he'll agree to your request at first, kill us when he finds out I'm pregnant, he'll have the notion that one day our son will take over the assets he's taken over" Leo didn't want to be a coward and stay here to continue hiding.

"Just wait a second. I promise I'll be okay and back to you, we can't hide like this forever." Leo said, making alana only look at her husband with this pleading look.

"I'm afraid something's going to happen to you." alana made Leo finally pull alana into her arms.

"I will not let myself get hurt in the slightest, I promise I will come back to you when I get it all done, I will never leave you again," Leo said, gazing alana in the eyes so confidently that alana could finally only be silent when Leo let her go.

Alana couldn't possibly trust Leo, but she remained concerned if something bad happened to her husband, alana believed Bruce must have had other plunders. he was a really cunning man, coupled with a vein that would still make alana believe she was working with Bruce.

They must have scrambled their brains to take another way so they could quietly master the asset and the only way is to completely snuff out their lives, alana thought.

"Stay out of sight here, don't come out until I come back," said Leo, after which he went to leave alana, who was now sitting at the root of the tree and hiding herself behind a big tree on the side of a cliff.
