Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 331: He Held Her and Jumped into the River…
The entire casino city was engulfed in flames and thick smoke, instantly shattered into pieces...
The sudden explosion caught everyone off guard.
Virgil Davies couldn’t care less about Kaleb and Melody Parker, as he was immediately dragged by his subordinates into an escape tunnel, leaving the smoky, soon-to-be-ash inferno.
Kaleb’s face turned even paler as he witnessed the blazing scene.
When the underground casino was rebuilt, Virgil Davies intentionally had heavy explosives buried everywhere and escape tunnels constructed, just in case of an external attack to capture his enemies in one swoop.
Even if he couldn’t capture them all, he would still deliver a painful blow, a harsh lesson to anyone daring to invade his territory.
And the reason for this setup originated from the last attack by Adrian Davies.
Because Adrian’s men not only attacked his casino last time but also caught him off guard, ruining half of his business and forcing him to flee in embarrassment.
So when rebuilding the casino, he took that into consideration.
If Adrian dared to attack again, he would make sure Adrian paid a painful price!...
But looking at the current situation, this sudden explosion didn’t seem to be orchestrated by Virgil Davies.
Kaleb was shot in the waist and bleeding profusely, but he couldn’t care about it at all.
He tightly held Melody Parker’s hand, urging her, "Go, quickly!"
Melody Parker didn’t move. Seeing the towering flames, she panicked and asked, "What about you? What will you do?"
"Don’t worry about me! Just go!" Kaleb pushed Melody Parker, stubbornly insisting she go first.
To save this woman, he exposed his identity and ended up drawing swords against Virgil Davies.
Perhaps the mission would remain unfinished, but he didn’t regret it.
She is the mother of the beloved one, as well as an innocent civilian.
Whether out of duty or his promise to his beloved, he should protect her well.
If he died here today, the organization could send someone else to replace him.
But if he stood by and did nothing, he would truly lose his conscience, becoming no different from those genuine people in the underworld, truly disgracing his profession, and disappointing everyone.
If he were lucky enough to survive, he determined to enter the secret path and return to Virgil Davies’s side, aiming to obtain his retina.
Melody Parker looked at Kaleb and finally confirmed: this man was a good guy, saving her without any ulterior motive!
"No, we leave together! Let’s leave together!" Melody Parker looked at Kaleb, her eyes firm.
This man saved her.
He led her out of the private room, shielded her against Virgil Davies, and got shot for her, how could she leave him and escape alone?
After saying that, Melody Parker reached out to support the injured Kaleb.
But before she could touch him, a huge explosion erupted nearby.
With the explosion, a ball of fire flew over.
Melody Parker turned to look and felt a sharp pain in her eyes, and she instantly fell unconscious.
"Hey! Are you alright?" Seeing Melody Parker collapse, Kaleb called out anxiously.
But Melody Parker had already passed out and could not respond at all.
Kaleb lifted Melody Parker from the ground, supporting her as he ran outside quickly.
Boom! Another bomb was ignited.
With the thunderous explosion, Kaleb and Melody Parker were directly thrown to the ground...
Kaleb was already shot in the waist, and now his back caught fire too.
Yet he still struggled to get up from the ground, holding Melody Parker, whose back was also on fire, using all his strength to take her away from the casino...
Outside the casino connected to a wide river.
Kaleb, without hesitation, jumped into the river with Melody Parker.
Because their backs were still burning, and because behind them, the fire from successive explosions was still chasing.
Even more mysteriously, Kaleb faintly saw the golden double butterfly mark on Melody Parker’s back still emitting dazzling golden light among the flames...
Even after jumping into the water, with the flames extinguished, that golden light persisted.
Meanwhile, far away in Fland, Neal Galan felt a sharp pain in his heart, pressing it tightly.
How could this be, was something wrong with Melody?
He immediately stood up but felt a dizzy spell, fainting...
Over here, at the moment Kaleb and Melody Parker jumped into the river, the flames on their bodies extinguished, but simultaneously the river around them turned into a river of blood.
All the blood came from Kaleb.
Kaleb didn’t care and couldn’t afford to care.
He just struggled, withstanding the urge to breathe his last, dragging Melody Parker as they swam, attempting to take her to a safe spot, away from the explosion site.
But he was losing too much blood, his strength was depleting, becoming less capable...
A big wave from the distant ocean swept them away...
When Adrian arrived at the casino, all the explosions had calmed down, and the casino was blown beyond recognition, reduced to ruins.
At this time, Barrett Carter and Ned Faris were already burnt black all over.
They nearly turned the casino inside out but couldn’t find any trace of Melody Parker, nor was Virgil Davies seen.
Barrett Carter kept searching in the debris of the blown-up casino, hoping to find any survivors or any valuable clues about the miss.
Adrian’s gaze turned blood-red as he looked at Ned Faris, questioning sharply, "Where’s Melody?"
Ned Faris lowered his head, not daring to look at Adrian, "I’m sorry, President, Miss Parker... is missing!"
"Missing?" Adrian’s voice was icy cold.
Seeing the debris, his blood-red gaze grew even redder with anger, "Who told you to blow it up! Bastard!"
With a thud, Ned Faris knelt down, "President, the casino exploded by itself. There were too many explosives buried here, and someone unknown triggered the mechanism inside..."
In any case, failing to protect Miss Parker was their responsibility.
"Melody!..." Adrian shouted at the ruins.
No one responded.
His Melody’s whereabouts were unknown at this moment.
"Melody! Where are you? Answer me!..." Adrian shouted loudly, looking everywhere in the still-burning casino left by the explosion.
His hands kept searching through the wreckage in front of him.
Since the explosion had just happened, the temperature of the wreckage was extremely high, some even still on fire.
His hands touched these wreckages.
Soon, his hands were burnt and scalded.
Yet he seemed not to notice at all, persistently searching, "Melody, you’ll be alright! I’m here, I won’t let anything happen to you!"
...
Adrian searched every corner of the casino, went through all the bodies, and watched with his own eyes as the injured were taken one by one into ambulances by the police.
His Melody was not among them.
He thought of every possibility, searched every direction, but could never find his Melody.
