?Chapter 429:


    “In the Harper family, it’s normal to carry firearms,” Brenna said coolly.


    Suddenly, a knock sounded from outside, followed by Ethan’s voice calling out, “Brenna, are you in there?”


    “Yes, I am here!” Without hesitation, Brenna fired, aiming at Viper’s forehead.


    Viper was caught off guard by her decisive action.


    His reaction was too slow, and the bullet was quicker.


    Stunned, he copsed backward, dead.


    Ethan’s panic was unmistakable as he pounded on the door, startled by the gunshot. “Brenna!” he shouted.


    “I’m fine,” Brenna assured him, stepping past Viper’s body to unlock the door.


    When Ethan stepped inside, he was confronted with the sight of Viper’s lifeless body.


    Just then, security personnel arrived, their guns aimed at Brenna.


    Jade walked over, furious. “You killed him!”


    Ethan stepped in front of Brenna, defending her without hesitation, saying, “He got what he deserved for following a woman into the restroom. Brenna only acted in self-defense. If you have a problem with this, take it up with me.”


    Jade had badly underestimated Brenna, assuming she would be an easy target for Viper, whosebat skills were usually unrivaled.


    She was confused by the situation. How could Brenna, who seemed so delicate, have been able to kill Viper?


    Viper couldn’t even overpower a woman? So useless!


    The unexpected turn of events left Jade shocked. Her eyes, filled with intense hatred, locked onto Brenna.


    As Vand’s undergroundworks crumbled and key distributors were arrested, Viper’s role in establishing new connections had been crucial. Now, with his death, Jade found herself uncertain about the future of her business.

    Jade hissed with fury, “You’ll pay for this with your life, Brenna!”


    Jade gave a subtle nod, signaling two more gunmen to enter. Their weapons clicked ominously as they loaded them and aimed at Brenna.


    Ethan moved quickly, drawing his gun and pulling Jade over, the cold muzzle pressing against her head. “One move, and she’s dead,” he said coldly.


    Jayceon and Ernst, caught off guard by the sudden esction of the situation, stopped at the entrance, watching the tense scene.


    They then reacted immediately, raising their guns in unison, aiming at the armed guards.


    Denis found himself unarmed, regretting hisck of preparation for what was happening. He had really thought this was going to be a simple gathering. In a calcted move, Denis discreetly retreated to the men’s restroom for cover.


    Brenna, meanwhile, positioned herself strategically behind Ethan, her firearm aimed at the opposing gunmen.


    Jade had never expected Ethan to take her hostage. He was gripping her neck tightly, causing her pain without any hint ofpassion.
