Chapter 650

Flynt sneered. He had had his men mess with Aria’s bombs, and none of them would go
off.
He flipped through the camera views but couldn’t spot Aria anywhere. Then, one by one, the base’s surveillance cameras
went dark.
“What the hell is Aria up to?” Flynt’s face hardened, and he strode out of the room.
Just then, a gunshot rang out from afar, and then rapid gunfire broke loose. Someone ran in, out of breath. “Mr. Hartley, we’re under attack. One of the snipers is down.”
“Is it Arressto again?” Flynt asked coldly.
“Yes,” the man said.
Flynt barked, “Switch to backup power and lock down all exits. Send people after Aria.”
On the top floor, Margery trembled with excitement as she heard gunfire. Since she was weak from poisoning, Ethan left the door unlocked. After she took the pill from Aria, she gradually regained her strength.
She really did cough up blood, but she wasn’t poisoned before. After Aria applied acupuncture, she gave her a small pill. Later, the doctor Flynt brought in had run blood tests and confirmed she was truly poisoned.
The herbal medicine Aria gave her helped her recover, with no side effects.
Margery stepped out of the room, ready to make her move.
‘Ms. Calderon, where are you going?” Cindy hurried to block her path.
Margery hit Cindy on her neck and knocked her out. By the time Ethan arrived, he only saw the unconscious Cindy, and Margery had already vanished.
Bloodshot and furious, he slammed his foot against the door and barked at the radio, “Lock every exit. No shots fired inside.”
Even if Margery was trying to escape, Ethan worried the snipers could hit her by mistake.
Margery ran up to the top floor of the warehouse and caught Aria taking down the last guard.
“Both snipers are down.” Aria said, kicking the guard to the ground, “He’s all yours.”
Margery sprayed him while Aria inserted a few needles into his body, dulling most of his hearing to block out the sharp gunfire. The guard inhaled the spray, losing consciousness.
Margery shook the pocket watch close to him, guiding the guard for two minutes before asking, “What’s the ammunition depot code?”
The guard said weakly, “I can’t tell you. They will kill me.”
Margery said urgently, “Mr. Hartley is under attack. We need ammo for backup now.”
The guard blankly recited a string of numbers.
They rushed into the warehouse. Margery had stolen Ethan’s access card beforehand to swipe access, while Aria entered the
code.

Just as the door opened, Luna burst in with her team, panting heavily. “The bombs are set.”
Aria pointed to the ammunition depot and said, “This is the real deal. Follow the original route again. Grab some weapons. If there’s gunfire, be ready to fight.”
“No.” One of them slumped to the ground, his voice trembling. “We’re gonna die.”
“Do you hear the gunfire?” Aria said calmly, “Rescue is on the way. Once the power is out, they can get over the wall and save us. Before that, set off another bomb, blow up the lab, then take the cars. Margery will lead you,”
The man said, “Why must we blow up the lab? Can’t we just escape directly?”
Luna smacked him on the head. “Are you dumb? If the lab stays, they’ll just catch us again and keep experimenting on us.” She grabbed the explosives and a gun. “Run or die. If you won’t fight, then stay here forever.”
Only when the lab was destroyed would there be no more victims. With that in mind, they clenched their teeth and grabbed explosives and guns.
These bombs had safety features, so they didn’t have to worry about accidentally setting them off. Aria took off her hairpin and handed it to Margery. “Put your hair up.”
Margery quickly tied her hair up, picked up a gun, and took the lead. She said, “Follow me. We’re switching routes to the lab.”
Once downstairs, Luna handed the explosives to another team member and said, “I’m heading somewhere else. Make sure the lab is destroyed.”
The next second, the crowd dispersed, each going about their tasks.
Meanwhile, Flynt led his men steadily closer to the warehouse. Aria moved into the shadows, pulled the sniper’s body aside, and lay down, adjusting her rffle’s aim.
When Flynt came into view, she fired without hesitation.
