"General Kaelen! Since they want to die, wipe them out! But put a bullet in that woman's head first!" Woods ordered, pointing a trembling finger at Elena.
Elena didn't flinch. If Logan had shown up, she knew he wouldn't have come without a flawless exit strategy.
Just as the armored vehicles rotated their heavy artillery toward the crowd, a deafening roar tore through the sky.
A military-grade fighter jet broke through the clouds, diving straight for the compound.
Before anyone could process what was happening, a missile dropped from the jet, slamming into the warlord's lead armored vehicle and blowing it to smithereens!
"Get down!" Elena screamed.
The crowd hit the dirt.
Elena grabbed Theresa and dragged her behind a concrete barrier.
Thick black smoke swallowed the courtyard. The warlord's forces were decimated in an instant, and the survivors scattered in absolute panic.
Then, a second wave of highly trained operatives breached the perimeter, engaging the remaining syndicate guards in a brutal firefight.
The fighter jet circled back, dropping pinpoint strikes on the heaviest clusters of enemy resistance.
Realizing they were outgunned by superior air power, General Kaelen's men abandoned their posts and ran for their lives.
Manager Woods scrambled through the rubble, nearly getting vaporized by a secondary explosion as he fled.
When the dust finally settled, the fighter jet touched down in the middle of the devastated courtyard.
The compound's massive gates and fortified walls had been completely leveled, leaving nothing but scorched earth!
The scene was absolute chaos.
Through the dissipating smoke, a figure climbed down from the jet. Elena blinked, hardly daring to believe her eyes.
It was Dylan Sinclair.
"Logan, when did you get in touch with Dylan?" she asked, stunned.
"Mr. Sinclair was worried sick about you, Boss. Of course I had to keep him in the loop. He said he was calling in some favors for backup, but I never expected him to pilot a damn fighter jet himself."
Dylan pulled off his flight helmet, tucking it under his arm as he strode toward her.
At that moment, the man looked ridiculously attractive.
