Chapter 1294
Cornell was in such a rush that he tumbled down from the roof, landing onto someone else's rooftop
and rolling onto a sun-drenched terrace.
The terrace was littered with clothes hanging on wooden pegs, and he landed in a pile of these, taking
a while to regain his footing.
Arabella was swift on his heels. Gordon was just about to warn her to be careful when he saw her leap
from one rooftop to the next, sliding down to the terrace, hot on Cornell's trail.
Gordon couldn't believe it. The distance between the rooftops was substantial, yet Arabella made the
leap effortlessly. More unbelievably, she was incredibly fast.
Seeing that someone was actually pursuing him, Cornell was enraged and descended into the
labyrinthine alleyway, desperately trying to evade capture.
Arabella kept pace, and it seerned like she was about to catch up.
Just then, a toddler, barely a year old, was toddling on the cobblestone path. Cornell picked up the
child and threw him behind him.
The toddler's mother let out a scream.
In the blink of an eye, Arabella deftly leapt off a wall, catching the child in mid-air. The toddler, oblivious
to the danger he was in, beamed at Arabella, seeming to find the whole episode amusing.
The mother, on the other hand, was terrified, rushing over, tears streaming down her face, as she took
her child from Arabella, thanking her profusely.
Noting the inhumanity of the man she was pursuing, Arabella quickened her pace. There was an
elderly woman sitting on a porch, and Cornell, without a hint of remorse, knocked her and her chair
down. The woman fell to the ground, crying out in pain.
Arabella rushed over to help her up. The woman was cursing, a gash on her chin.
"Ms. Bella, let me handle this.” Gordon quickly helped the elderly woman, pulling out his wallet and
handing her some cash.
Seeing the generous amount of money, the woman's first instinct was to pocket it quickly, before
locking her door, fearing that someone might see and try to rob her.
Gordon didn't offer any further assistance, instead, he turned and caught up to Arabella.
From a distance, he saw Arabella hurl an alleyway bamboo pole like a javelin, hitting Cornell square in
the back.
Cornell let out a cry of pain and fell face-forward. Arabella quickly caught up, and a fight ensued.
Gordon rushed forward to lend a hand, but Cornell, outmatched and outskilled, pulled a knife and
scattered some powder, but to no avail.
Arabella grabbed his hair and slammed him against a wall, “Try moving again, see what happens."
"So can't you guys from Mafia Rock keep your word? You said you'd spare me, and now you're trying
to kill me.
What's the meaning of this?" Cornell, unable to break free from Arabella's grip, gritted his teeth and
questioned.
Arabella and Gordon exchanged glances. Mafia Rock?
Wasn't Mr. Elliot also from Mafia Rock?
“Whoever made that promise to you, you should find him.” Arabella decided to play along, refusing to
let go.
Cornell let out a cold laugh, “Why bother pretending? Wasn't it your boss who made the promise to
me?"
Arabella wondered, was he talking about Mr. Elliot? Or someone else?
“I can spare you, but I need to know the whereabouts of the woman who played your wife." Arabella
stated coldly.
Cornell laughed mockingly, "Are you testing me? What, you suspect she's not dead? Didn't she die at
your hands? And you didn't even spare the child. Wasn't that your style to kill all the related people?
Even when they died in front of your eyes, you still don't believe. If she's alive, she wouldn't let this go
so easily."
Arabella hadn't expected to get so much information from him. It seerned that the woman, and the child
who played their son, were indeed dead.
Cornell was indignant, "You promised, once we played out the act, each of us would receive twenty
dollars, and you guaranteed you'd let us go. But you broke your promise, killing the two of them, and
now hunting me down."
