As Quentin began his recovery, a sudden commotion outside caught his attention. Lyly rushed to the window to catch a glimpse of a group of people rushing towards the house, shouting his name." Quick ! Our friend is seriously ill, we fear he won't survive ! " declared a desperate man.Lyly turned to her mother." What should we do ? "" Go and help them, my daughter," her mother replied, confident in her abilities." But what about Quentin ? " Lyly hesitated.Quentin took her hand." Go, someone needs your help. I'll be fine."Lyly's mother nodded approvingly." Go ahead, it is your duty to assist this patient. Do what you do best."Lyly smiled faintly." I'll be back quickly."Then she followed the group with determined steps." What's the problem ? " she asked, kneeling beside the patient, who was already pale." He had a seizure and then lost consciousness, we can't wake him up!" cried a distraught woman.Lyly carefully and gently examined the patient." His breathing is weak and i
Thus, Quentin and Arjun escaped from Lyly's mother's house, evading the approaching police.They ran through the streets, turning back at every corner, until they finally reached a train station." Where are we heading ? " Quentin asked, gasping for breath." We're going home ! " Arjun replied, scanning the surroundings for any signs of danger.They quickly bought a ticket and boarded the next arriving train.Once aboard, Arjun turned to Quentin." What you achieved back there is hardly commendable," Arjun declared disapprovingly.Quentin raised an eyebrow." What do you mean ? "" You know exactly what I'm talking about. Your behavior towards Lyly's mother was inappropriate. You seemed completely devoid of gratitude for what she and her daughter did for you," Arjun stated in a serious tone.Quentin sighed." I had to act that way to protect them," he replied." What do you mean ? " Arjun asked, confused." I don't know if you're being followed or monitored by someone, but I had to ma
Suddenly, Quentin turns his gaze towards the direction from which the detonation resonated and catches sight of an old lady struggling with a masked individual in the public thoroughfare.He then turns to Arjun, wearing a fervent expression." We must intervene, she needs our help ! "Arjun tries to hold him back." Quentin, wait ! It's dangerous, we should alert the authorities ! "But Quentin is determined." I don't have time, I can't remain idle here ! " he exclaims, freeing himself from Arjun's grip.He rushes into the street at full speed." Quentin, no ! " exclaims Arjun as he follows him.When they arrive at the scene, the woman is being mistreated by the masked individual.Quentin charges towards them like a fury." Release her immediately ! "The masked individual turns towards him and delivers a powerful punch. Quentin takes the blow, then retaliates with a violent knee strike to the stomach.The man stumbles. Quentin grabs him by the arm and disarms him with a skilled move
Quentin's heart races as he recognizes the young woman in the room, namely Jasmine.However, he notices that Jasmine is no longer the same today. She looks pale, tired, and her belly has grown." Jasmine ? " he calls out to her.Jasmine abruptly stops and gazes at him for a few seconds before quickly turning away and heading towards the door." Jasmine, wait ! " Quentin calls out again.However, the casino owner intervenes, rising from his desk to block her path." Excuse me, young man, but how do you know this woman ? " he asks, giving Jasmine a sneaky glance.Quentin steps forward with an authoritative tone." I know her perfectly well, and she's pregnant with my child. However, she shouldn't be in such an environment."" Jasmine, explain to me why you're here," he adds, staring at her once again.From that moment on, Jasmine lowers her gaze, avoiding any eye contact with the people present in the room." As you can see, I work here ! " she murmurs in a barely audible voice.Quentin
Quentin's heart races even faster when he notices smoke curling out of the briefcase.Carefully, he grabs it and rushes outside, placing it safely on the ground, as far away from the casino entrance as possible.A few moments later, a muffled explosion occurs, shattering the briefcase into pieces and sending flaming bills into the air.Quentin watches in disbelief as the money he had worked so hard to earn goes up in flames." This situation is highly suspicious. It is highly likely that the briefcase was rigged to explode as soon as I left the establishment, " he realizes with clarity, although sadness is evident on his face." Clearly, someone did not want me to keep this money, " he adds.His mind races as he tries to determine who could have orchestrated such a plot." I know who is capable of such treachery ! The owner of the casino, " he murmurs almost to himself." But how could he have tampered with the briefcase without me noticing ? " he wonders once again.It is at this mome
Quentin's mind was besieged with questions after the enigmatic phone call." I must make a decision promptly ! " he thought." Indeed, it is a risky plan, but the idea of saving Jasmine was far too tempting to be neglected, " he also said to himself in a barely perceptible voice.Meanwhile, Arjun attentively observed his friend, sensing the internal struggle Quentin was going through." Quentin," Arjun said softly, breaking the silence between them." Who was the person on the other end of the line? What did they want from you ? "Quentin glanced at Arjun, mixing determination and uncertainty in his eyes. He took a deep breath and explained the entire situation to Arjun, including the details about the phone call." However, they claim to have information about the identity of the casino owner, " Quentin revealed with a voice tinged with skepticism." But they demand that I retrieve an object from his office in exchange for the means to save Jasmine, " he added.Arjun furrowed his bro
Quentin frowned, frustrated. His mind raced as he searched for the best course of action .After a long moment, he spoke up." The safety of Jasmine is my top priority. While I am eager to put an end to Mateo's scheming, she doesn't deserve to suffer because of my personal vendetta against Mateo. "Arjun nodded, showing his understanding." Very well . We will focus our efforts on infiltrating the casino as we discussed before. "" But Mateo cannot go unpunished, " Quentin declared through gritted teeth." We must also find a way to thwart his plans, " he added." One thing at a time, my friend," Arjun replied." Let's start by saving Jasmine. Once she is safe, we can turn our attention to stopping Mateo," he continued.[ Two days later. ]Quentin and Arjun were sitting in the back of a parked vehicle near the casino.They were finally ready to infiltrate the premises and were discussing the final details before embarking on this risky endeavor." It's been almost two hours since we'v
Arjun's jaw tightened, his unwavering gaze." We cannot allow them to stop us now. Let's quickly find a solution," he declared firmly.They exchanged a brief glance." As soon as I signal, I'll start the car," mumbled Quentin through clenched teeth, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly." Let's act fast, we need to escape from these men," Arjun replied anxiously.Without wasting another moment, Quentin abruptly pressed down on the accelerator pedal, and their car surged forward, leaving the wreckage behind.The screech of tires filled the air as they sped through the chaotic casino parking lot.The imposing men pursued them in another vehicle, their sleek black car skillfully maneuvering through the traffic.Quentin and Arjun's hearts raced as they exchanged worried glances, fully aware of their numerical disadvantage." We need to come up with a plan quickly," Arjun said." Arjun, check the glove compartment. We might find something useful in there," Quentin shouted over the
