The policemen are slowly back away into their cars. Soon the undercover cars leave a gap in the main road and make way for Black Wolf.The police are all reluctant to surrender, knowing that Katrina will have a difficult time in Black Wolf"s hands. They don"t even know when they will see her again, or if she will even be safe. She might not get out of this alive at all.
The whole team cares for Katrina. But despite their objections, they are helpless to concede to the enemy.
As soon as the cops get out of the way, Black Wolf moves to pull Katrina into the car, when a sports car rushes out of nowhere and stops to a halt in front of them, rolling up dust in its wake.
A man in a black suit pushes the door open and gets out of the car. Carrying a briefcase in his hand, he strides towards Black Wolf, walking through the clearing dust like the character in an action movie amidst a spectacular explosion. He looks untouchable. His images illuminated a powerful presence that will scare everyone.
Aaron? The recognition puts Katrina in a daze. What is he doing here?
The moment she sees Aaron, she feels like crying. She remembers the way he took her in his arms and practically begged her to come back safely. I know he cares about me, but I can"t believe he"s here…
Aaron stops five meters away from Black Wolf. Staring the criminal dangerously while his sight flew towards the woman"s face that he loves the most. He clenched his jaw while looking at Katrina"s difficult situation.
At the sight of the newcomer, Black Wolf demands, "Who are you!"
He isn"t the only one confused by Aaron"s appearance. Along with the rest of the team, the captain looks at him in confusion. Who is he? He looks familiar… Why is he risking his life like this? Why did he suddenly appear in this difficult situation?
Aaron stands still, looking directly into Black Wolf"s eyes without a hint of fear. "I"m their superior, the commander in charge of their mission! A lowly officer with no status is of no use to you! Take me, and you"ll be the biggest threat to the Chinese police!"
To bring down the enemy, you must take down the leader. Holding a soldier hostage is nothing compared to holding a general hostage.
Although the police are surprised and confused to hear Aaron"s claim to be their superior, they keep silent. Whoever he is, he must be on our side. Why else would he volunteer to be a hostage?
The police watched in antic.i.p.ation of Aaron"s next move, but before he appeared, they had lost all hope for Katrina. But now there"s a chance to turn things around. They prepare to cooperate with Aaron to rescue Katrina.
But Black Wolf is suspicious of Aaron"s offer. Handling a man will be more difficult than dealing with a girl. He sneers, "I told you, I don"t want a man for a hostage!"
"Oh, is that so?" Unperturbed, Aaron opens his suitcase, revealing bundles of dollars inside. He takes a stack and throws it into the sky. The paper bills fall to the ground like snowflakes, painting a magnificent picture. He used this trick to buy more time, and he could rescue Katrina.
"You probably don"t know me, but besides being their boss, I"m the grandson of Eric Simon, the richest and most powerful man in Abbe City." He said without hesitation.
The grandson of Eric Simon? A thrill runs up Black Wolf"s spine. He turns greedy eyes to the falling bills and grins.
Money is the reason he started on the path of crime. If I have Eric Simon"s grandson as a hostage, I can get all the money I want with just a simple phone call. Aaron"s offer suddenly becomes more appealing.
Excited by the suitcase of money, Black Wolf immediately makes up his mind. "You can take her place! Throw the briefcase over and take off your suit! I want to make sure you don"t have a weapon on you!"
Aaron throws the suitcase as instructed. But he hadn"t closed the case properly beforehand, and the dollar bills spilled out like a fountain and spread throughout the road.
Black Wolf turns his head and shouts to his bodyguards, "You fools! Get over here and gather everything!"
The bodyguards hurriedly get out of the car and squat down on the ground to pick up the bills. Meanwhile, Aaron takes off his suit and pats himself from top to bottom to show that he is unarmed.
Black Wolf nods in approval and barks, "Good! Get over here! Faster!"
Aaron walks towards him one step at a time.
Seeing Aaron so determined to take her place, Katrina shakes her head furiously to make him stop. I don"t have any regrets about dying on the job, and I knew what I was getting into when I joined the force… He"s just a civilian, and I can"t let him do this! A tiny voice screams in her head. She can"t let Aaron"s life be in danger because of her.
Katrina feels her anxiety well up as she watches Aaron"s approach. I"m just an ordinary police officer. Sacrificing my life is my duty!
Aaron is the CEO of an international corporation. If anything happens to him, it would be a huge loss. I can"t believe he"s doing this. This stupid man wanted to sacrifice his life.
Katrina doesn"t like equating a person"s value to one"s wealth, but she knows without a doubt that Aaron"s life is much more valuable than hers. She felt so much scared while Aaron gradually came closer to them.
Aaron noticed the sudden anxiety in Katrina"s face, but he still continues moving forward as he is determined to save her. His life will have no meaning if Katrina dies. He can"t live without her, and he is still looking forward to a better future ahead of them. Katrina knew how stubborn Aaron was.
