NovelEnglishChapter 674 Chapter 674 Marion quickly explained, "That was because..." Debra cut him off. “And you pointed a gun at me. Were you trying to kill me?" "No. Kale's reflexes are top-notch. He would never let you die." "So, you were just gambling with my life, trusting a stranger to protect me? What if he hadn't reacted fast enough?" "I raised the gun one centimeter higher. Even if he failed to react, the bullet wouldn't hit you.' Overcwith sadness, Debra threw herself into his arms, finally letting out all the frustration, fear, and anger she'd been holding in for days.
