It even felt like he was willing to give her his whole world.
When the kiss ended, Julius rested his head on Quinn’s shoulder, still caught up in the moment. “Quinnie, if you ever feel like kissing me again, you can do it anytime.”
Quinn was at a loss for words. Is this… some sort of invitation?
The car continued on its journey, with Quinn gazing at the scenery passing by.
Quinn had come to Yarburn to bury her parents‘ ashes in the ancestral hall and complete a protection job for the military.
She didn’t expect her relationship with Julius to change during the trip.
Now, she couldn’t help but wonder what would happen between them once she returned to Jexburgh.
Their car soon pulled into the underground parking lot of the Yarburn branch of Whitethorn Group.
Quinn was about to wake Julius when the car suddenly jolted and stopped. A loud bang echoed.
Startled, Quinn froze in place, while Julius, who had been napping, opened his eyes.
“I accidentally knocked into another car. I’ll go check it out,” Fabian said as he opened the car door and stepped out.
Through the windshield, Quinn saw a white sedan that had slightly scraped their car. A woman stepped
out.
Fabian went to talk to her.
Just when Quinn thought it was a minor collision, she noticed something seemed off about Fabian.
Since he was facing away from the car, all Quinn could see was his figure, which seemed to stiffen momentarily.
However, it was just this fleeting moment that made Quinn feel that something was off.
Immediately after, she saw Fabian collapsing onto the ground. The woman, without missing a beat, raised a pistol, aiming it straight at them inside the car.
“Danger!” Quinn yelled, pulling Julius down.
The woman fired into the car.
Quinn flung the car door open, pulling Julius out of the vehicle to take cover behind a pillar in the parking
garage.
The bodyguards, who were initially assigned to ensure Julius‘ safety, should have been tailing them in a car. However, there was no sign of any trailing vehicle at that moment.
Something was clearly wrong.
As the gunshots rang out, a sense of urgency welled up within Quinn. It wasn’t just because her mission was to protect Julius. She was also worried that other cars might pass by at any moment, and the bullets

could easily hit innocent bystanders.
“Stay hidden. I’ll distract her!” she whispered.
Before Julius could respond, Quinn had already darted out from behind the pillar.

Julius stared blankly at Quinn’s retreating figure. It felt like their video game session from the day before when she’d told him to hide then too.
Is she going to risk her life again?
No! She shouldn’t be doing that!
With another gunshot echoing in the air, the bullet grazed Quinn’s arm. Seizing the moment as the female assassin closed in, Quinn forcefully kicked the half–open car door, using it to knock her straight to the ground.
The female assassin awkwardly fell to the ground, her previously gripped gun now lay discarded on the floor.
Seeing the female assassin trying to retrieve her gun, Quinn instantly lunged forward. The two of them immediately engaged in a fierce fight, using their most ruthless moves.
Blood was rapidly streaming down Quinn’s arm, yet she seemed completely oblivious to it.
All she could think was that she had to stop the female assassin from getting the gun.
As the two were locked in an intense battle, a voice shouted, “It’s over!”
The female assassin froze. Quinn turned to see Julius holding the gun he had picked up, aiming it at the back of the female assassin’s head.
Quinn heaved a sigh of relief.
Julius wore a serious expression as he looked at Quinn’s arm. The area where the bullet had grazed her was now soaked with blood, staining a large portion of her sleeve red.
“Did you get shot?” Julius asked.
“It’s just a scratch.”
Suddenly, she heard the chilling click of Julius cocking the gun. His voice was cold with anger. “How dare you hurt her!”
He was furious that someone had harmed the woman he wanted to protect.
“Don’t shoot!” Quinn shouted, running to him.
She didn’t want him to carry the burden of killing someone.
At that moment, Julius‘ bodyguards arrived. Only four bodyguards stepped out of the car. One was missing.
