Despite his injuries, Leo gritted his teeth, snatched the gun from Nelson's hand, and pressed it against the back of his head. He commanded, "Tell them to put their guns down!" Nelson was shaken. "Put them down! Put the guns down..." The bodyguards exchanged glances before complying, but they still maintained a disciplined formation, closing in on Nelson.
When force didn't work, Nelson resorted to pleading. "Leo, is this how you treat me? I brought you back, gave you food and clothes, money and power-everything you wanted. Why must you go against me?" Seizing the moment of distraction, I ran toward Yasmine, pulling her behind me. "Don't be scared!" "Ari..." Yasmine was still dazed, her gaze fixed on Leo. She askedhesitantly, "Who... is he?" The man she had hated for days, slapped countless times, and who had now shielded her from a bullet-who was he? Nicholas caught up with us, scanning the surroundings cautiously.

He wished he could end him right then and there. No, even killing him wouldn't quench the burning hatred in his heart! en How had he becan orphan? Smen, despite fathering a child, didn't deserve to be called fathers. Nelson was one of them-completely unworthy! Nicholas lowered his voice and said, "I've already informed the police and arranged a plan before coming here, but it'll take tto break through..." At that moment, the auction hall's main door was kicked open. Special police burst in, and Nelson's reign of terror cto an end.
As the police began securing the scene, they took custody of Nelson from Leo. The latter collapsed straight to the ground.
"Leo!" Yasmine darted toward him like an arrow released from its bow.
She didn't care about anything else- -her eyes were only on him. "Call an ambulance! An ambulance!"
