The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows novel Chapter 134

Chapter 134 I Won’t Say It Again

Harlan burst into laughter. “Are you out of your mind? Can’t you see Jay’s got guns? Do you really think you

can outrun bullets?”

“We’re not here to outrun anything” Thiago firmly stated, unfazed. He knew how the underworld worked and had already expected them to arrive with weapons. Harlan, as useless as ever, had come with backup, carrying guns. Disappointed but not surprised, Thiago ordered, “Hand the items over.”

Harlan let out a loud, smug laugh. His arrogance showed in the way he carried himself. At first, he’d worried Jay’s men might fall to these two again. But now, Jay had guns, so he feared nothing

He said, “I brought the goods. They’re stashed right here. If you’ve got what it takes, go ahead and find them. But I doubt you’ll even get the chance. Today, I’m going to make sure you regret ever crossing me. Thiago, I didn’t think you’d actually show up. Throwing your life away for a diary and a handful of useless junk? It’s not worth it. I never figured you’d turn out as foolish as your dead mother. Today, you’ll learn what it means to wish you were dead.”

Suddenly, Harlan yelled at the gunmen behind him, “Break his legs!”

The men glanced at Jay, then opened fire on Brenna and Thiago, who spun around and sprinted into the

bushes.

“They’re so stupid. Picking a place like this… It’s a perfect place for us to hide from the bullets,” Brenna said loudly, making sure Harlan and Jay could hear every word.

Jay’s face twisted in fury. He slapped Harlan across the face and bellowed, “You idiot! With all this bush, once. they’re hiding in them, how do you plan on finding them?”

Harlan rubbed his face and mumbled, “I thought this place was abandoned. I figured it’d be easier to kill them out here. I didn’t know it was such a good place to hide…”

Jay spat out a curse. “Idiot.”

With a wave of his hand, he sent his men to track down Brenna and Thiago.

Regret churned in Harlan’s gut. He saw now just how stupid he had been. Frustration boiled over inside him.

In the thick of the bushes, Brenna and Thiago didn’t move a muscle. Each time someone got close, they knocked them out fast and clean. Not a single sound escaped the scuffle.

Half an hour crawled by. None of the men who had gone searching for Brenna and Thiago came back. Harlan and Jay felt a creeping sense of dread, especially the latter. The last time he had faced them, he barely escaped with his life, so he kept his remaining men close.

He knew if he ended up alone with Harlan, the fool would get him killed

“Let’s get out of here now.” Jay muttered.

Harlan stepped in front of him, desperate “Jay, don’t! We haven’t killed them

yet.”

Jay slapped him again “Idiot! Look around you. Can’t you see? Our men are already down!”

Having no idea what Brenna and Thiago were capable of, Harlan shook his head in disbelief “No way Maybe

they’re just too scared to come out. We’ve got so many people with us. We can kill them.”

Jay stared at him, incredulous. He had never met anyone so thick–headed. “If you want to sit around and wait,

go ahead. I’m out of here.”

“Stop! Don’t move!” Just then, dozens of armed police officers emerged from the bushes, weapons ready

Harlan stood frozen, completely blindsided. “I thought I told them not to call the cops!”

Brenna and Thiago stepped out, both smirking at him.

Without a word, Ethan protectively moved in front of Brenna, shielding her in case the gang did something reckless in desperation.

The gang members turned on Jay and bolted, only to run straight into a wall of officers. Surrounded with nowhere to run, they dropped their weapons and surrendered.

Ethan turned to Brenna and said, “You shouldn’t be here. It’s too dangerous. No more of this. I’ll only worry”
