Chapter 429 Revenge (5)



Before long, the sound of a car engine approaching at full speed caught his attention. He observed a black car slowly come to a stop and park behind his car.

Inhaling from his cigarette and letting the smoke circle in the air, his smile appeared, framing his calm and handsome face as he saw Xander step out of the car with a tense expression.

"Man, you don\'t have to worry too much..." Rex couldn\'t help but comment as he saw Xander walking quickly towards him, with some men following behind, one of them being Alex Hill, the head of the XTeam special forces. "Everything\'s fine inside. She is safe!"

Xander\'s tense expression gradually softened, and he sighed, relieved. "I\'ll go inside," he said, not waiting for Rex\'s response.

With determined strides, Xander entered the house, with Alex following closely behind. Inside, they saw several special forces in camouflage tactical suits stationed in various places and several motionless bodies on the ground.

They quickly made their way in the direction the special forces were leading them. Without knocking, they kicked the door and forced it to open.

Xander was utterly surprised by what he saw. His wife, Scarlett, was stomping on a man\'s chest with her foot and pointing a gun at his forehead.

"Scarlett," Xander hurriedly walked towards her, concerned about her unstable emotions. "Let Alex take over here," he said gently, placing a hand on her shoulder.

Scarlett seemed to snap out of her intense state when she heard Xander\'s voice. As her eyes met Xander\'s, she felt her anger slowly subside.

"X-Xander..." She said softly. Her strong desire to end Jude Withers\' life gradually faded, her hands trembled, and her knees felt weak. She didn\'t even notice that her gun had changed hands and was now in Xander\'s grip. She held onto his hand tightly, trying to keep herself from falling apart.

But then she noticed Noah Withers\' body move slightly, and her feet started moving on their own accord. She walked towards Noah, her emotions torn between fear and a glimmer of hope.

"Uncle Noah," she said, almost whimpering, kneeling on the floor before Noah Withers\'s weak body. "A-Are you okay?" She stared at his face, now free from Jude Withers\' mask. His pale face was covered with wounds.

"S-Scarlett?" Noah\'s raspy voice was weak, barely audible. "W-Why am I still alive?" he asked, confused. He still remembered receiving Scarlett\'s bullet moments ago. But why was he still alive? He was supposed to be dead, right?

Scarlett said nothing but sobbed, allowing all the emotions she had held in to pour out. Her tears were unstoppable, and she couldn\'t hold them back. She clutched her uncle\'s hand tightly.

"Everything is finished, uncle..." She finally managed to speak after a few moments of crying. "Y-You are safe. You will be alright..."

Noah could only smile to respond to her. It was hard for him to speak now. He could feel a nameless pain was now engulfing his limbs.

"Baby, we need to send Uncle Noah to the hospital," Xander said gently, "He needs medical help..." he said worriedly.

Scarlett nodded, trying to compose herself. "Uncle, let\'s go to the hospital!" She softly said while wiping her tears away.

...

A few minutes later, paramedics arrived and carefully took Noah Withers to the hospital.

Before heading out to follow her uncle, Scarlett couldn\'t help but cast one last glance at Jude Withers, who was still kneeling on the floor, his head hung low and his gaze fixed on the ground. She couldn\'t see his expression, but she could sense the despair and defeat in him.

Scarlett gritted her teeth, wanting to tear apart the man before her, but she held back. Despite her strong desire to avenge her family and make him suffer for the pain he had caused her mother and all her family on B Island, she couldn\'t act on it. Being pregnant, she didn\'t want her child to grow up knowing that their mother was a murderer.

Suppressing her anger, she turned to Alex, who was now talking to someone.

"Brother Alex, I want this person to receive the harshest punishment possible. I want him to never see the sun again. I want him to rot in prison! Please ensure he faces the severest consequences, so all his victims can find peace!" she said coldly.

Alex smiled reassuringly at her. "Don\'t worry, sister-in-law. This man will definitely receive the most severe punishment this country has ever seen!"

"Thank you, brothers," Scarlett replied, giving Alex a satisfied smile before following Xander out of the room. She needed to hurry to the hospital to be with her uncle, Noah Withers.

When Scarlett left the building, she saw Rex still waiting for her, with Seven standing beside the car, smoking while conversing seriously. As soon as they noticed her, they threw away their cigarettes and smiled at her.

"Rex, Seven, thank you..." Scarlett couldn\'t help but express her gratitude. "You guys can go back now; I\'m going to the hospital with Xander," she continued.

Rex didn\'t say a word. He simply waved his hand casually and tossed a key to Seven.

"Brother Rex, please also convey my gratitude to Nine for his help," Scarlett said. "If it weren\'t for the special bullets that Nine gave me, I wouldn\'t have gotten such a quick confession from Jude Withers."

Rex halted his steps before getting into the car. He turned to look at Scarlett with a dark expression. "Little sister, you better tell me your true plan next time. How dare you make me worry like that!?" His gaze was sharp as if scolding her with his eyes. Before Scarlett could say anything, Rex had already entered the car.

"Bye, Three! See ya..." Seven said while chuckling, then he promptly got into the car and took the driver\'s seat.

Scarlett could only faintly smile as she watched Rex and Seven\'s car move away and disappear from As their car started, Scarlett glanced at Xander, who was driving. She said, "Didn\'t you see the live 14:38

streaming?"

her sight.

"Baby, what\'s wrong?" Xander, who was standing beside Scarlett, asked. "Why does Rex look so annoyed at you?" He was confused by Rex\'s attitude. It was the first time he saw Rex angry at Scarlett; usually, the man would look at her with a gaze that could make anyone jealous.

Scarlett frowned upon hearing Xander\'s question but didn\'t say anything. Instead, she asked him to go to the car, explaining that they couldn\'t stay there long. She needed to get to the hospital to accompany her uncle—many things she wanted to talk to him about.

As their car started, Scarlett glanced at Xander, who was driving. She said, "Didn\'t you see the live streaming?"

"What!? There\'s a live streaming?" Xander was surprised to hear that. "Why didn\'t you say it before?" he asked.

Scarlett secretly gulped, scolding Rex in her mind for not letting Xander watch the live streaming even though she had asked him to do so. Not wanting to annoy Xander further, she immediately proceeded to tell him everything that happened in the room when she confronted Jude Withers.

Instantly, Xander\'s face darkened.

No wonder Rex was upset; his wife had been stalling for time, and the chances of her getting hurt were huge. Despite feeling worried and annoyed, Xander refrained from saying anything, choosing to listen in silence.

After a few minutes, Scarlett finally concluded her story.

Xander took a deep breath before asking, "Baby, was it your idea to ask Nine to prepare a special bullet that would make Noah die in a certain time?" He was curious since it was the first time he had heard of such a bullet.

"Hmm, I gave him the idea, and he made it in a short time," Scarlett proudly explained Nine\'s abilities to Xander.

"Nine has a very dangerous ability. This guy is far more powerful than a nuclear explosion. He can kill lots of people with the poison he creates," Xander remarked, imagining the potential consequences if Nine created a poison or virus to kill on a large scale — He can kill people without anyone knowing.

"Indeed. He is the scariest among us," Scarlett agreed.

"Have I ever met him?" Xander inquired, recalling that Scarlett had never introduced Nine to him.

Scarlett pondered for a moment, trying to remember. A few seconds later, she recalled the incident on Island B when she killed all the bandits in the forest, and Rex had come with Nine.

"You saw him once," Scarlett said, glancing at Xander, reminding him about the incident on Island B.

"I don\'t remember seeing him; I only remember meeting Seven. But if I see him in person, maybe I\'ll recognize him," Xander replied.

"I\'ll introduce you when we meet again. But not this time because they\'ll be leaving the country soon since this case is over," Scarlett explained.

"I see. Oh right... What are your plans with Withers?" Xander asked, glancing at her quickly.

Scarlett was left speechless by Xander\'s question.

\'My plan?\' she asked herself, realizing she had no concrete plans for dealing with Withers once the evil that is Jude Withers was gone. She had hope, though. Her only hope was that her mother would come out from her hiding when she learned Jude Withers\' threat was ended.
