Chapter 1688
Lara's face twisted. "No way he would say that. He wants the four families wiped out."
"Take it up with him." Juan shrugged, heading out of the valley. "I'm not wasting my breath on you."
Lara muttered in disbelief, "Our master wouldn't do that. This was our shot to take them down."
Before she could piece it together, a guy rushed up. "Miss, something else showed up."
"Who was it?" Lara snapped, annoyed.
The four families only had Debra and Marion worth a damn to them.
"Looks like someone from the Osborne family."
"Randy? What's that punk doing here?"
Right then, a guy flew in from the mist, screaming as he hit the ground.
Randy stepped out with a fierce expression. Lara barked for her crew to gear up.
Everyone was puzzled, not expecting a wuss like Randy to be so good at fighting.
He'd taken out every guard outside the valley solo, and not one alarm had been tripped. It meant he had memorized the layout, found the safest path, and dodged every trap.
Lara sized him up seriously for the first time. She'd seen him before, but this version felt like a stranger. "Perfect. Grab him," she said. "With him in hand, Debra and Marion will cough up the gemstone."

She felt a sharp sting in her neck as his Swiss army knife pressed against her skin, drawing blood on purpose.
"Take me to Erica," he demanded.
"Trying to save your little girlfriend, huh?" Lara said playfully. "I can lead the way. Do you dare to come?"
Randy knew her game too well. When he didn't bite, she slid her hand around his waist.
He wasn't playing. His hand shot to her back, tracing her spine until she froze stiff.
He wasn't dumb. She'd been about to hit a pressure point. He beat her to it.
