The Princess and the Pauper

"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.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“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 some bottles — knockout powder they kept in the car for emergencies.

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.
