Chapter 160 But He Must Die

Chapter 160 But He Must Die

Frank knew how crazy Jacob was. If Frank showed excessive concern for Avery now, it would only

harm her.

Soon, the door opened, and Frank saw Jacob dragging Avery out. Although she was frail, Jacob

showed no mercy.

Frank instinctively wanted to walk up to Avery, but John coldly reminded him, "Don't move."

Frank looked at Avery with a worried face. Avery opened her mouth but didn't speak.

Jacob had a shiny black pistol in his hand as if he were the mighty God who could casually control the

fate of others.

"Avy, look! He'll die because of you."

Avery was scared out of her wits, unsure of what to do to stop Jacob from killing Frank.

If she begged Jacob, it would only provoke him, but if she stayed silent, he would also kill Frank.

Avery thought to herself, "God! What should I do?"

At that moment, a clear voice sounded. "Go to h*ll, you je*k!"

It was Carl's voice. It was unknown how long he had been hiding and waiting for the opportunity.

He had learned marksmanship from Frank but was prohibited from using guns because it was

dangerous.

Carl naively believed that if he killed Jacob, the crisis would be over, and Avery would be free from then

on.

There followed a gunshot. The bullet did not come from Jacob's hand, but from Carl's gun. At that

moment, Carl was in an unnoticed corner.

The gun was aimed at Jacob, but Carl was clearly not good at shooting and missed the target. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

With a swoosh, the bullet went straight toward Avery's chest.

This unexpected turn of events caught everyone off guard. No one had noticed that the boy actually

had a gun.

When Avery could see the bullet, she was already pulled into Jacob's arms.

The familiar fragrance on his body surrounded her. Just like Jacob's personality, the scent was steady

and cold.

Not only did his tall figure shield her from the wind and snow, but it also blocked the bullet.

"Jacob!" Avery anxiously looked at him. At that moment, she panicked and focused all her attention on

Jacob. "Are you okay? Did you get hurt?"

Avery moved out of Jacob's embrace and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the bullet piercing the

black wool coat and hitting the bulletproof vest underneath.

At that moment, all the snipers turned their guns on Carl, and Avery hurriedly said, "Don't shoot him!

He's just a kid."

Jacob ran his cold fingers across the tears at the corner of her eyes. "A young beast with fangs is still a

beast. Avy, if I hadn't put on a bulletproof vest today, either of us would have died."

Leaning close to her ear, he whispered, "Showing mercy to your enemies is just being cruel to

yourself."

Jacob's tone was soft, devoid of any emotion, but Avery knew he was extremely angry.

Jacob went mad easily when it came to matters concerning Avery, but when facing others, the angrier

he was, the calmer he seemed.

Avery clung to him, her voice softened, and she pleaded, "Jacob, Carl didn't mean to hurt me. He's still

just a child. Please don't hurt him."

Ethan didn't understand why Avery was crying so miserably, and seeing her cry, Ethan began to cry as

well, as if he had been unjustly treated.

"Dad! Mom!" Ethan's crying disturbed Jacob's thoughts, and he rushed towards Jacob.

Jacob picked up Ethan, feeling bothered by Ethan's and Avery's crying.

"Okay, I'll spare the kid." Jacob stared coldly at Frank. "But he...."

Jacob stared daggers at Frank and coldly continued, "Must die."
