Chapter 697:
He would make sure of it.
However, Annabel remained calm and composed.
She stood her ground against the large group of Dominik’s men, wielding the steel pipes with a cold smile. She moved swiftly and effortlessly, brandishing the pipes as if they were sharp blades.
Each time the metal connected with a man’s body, the clear crack of bone echoed through the alley.
Her attacks were ruthless and fast, showing no trace of mercy. In a situation like this, any hesitation would make her the one lying helpless on the ground.
Within seven or eight minutes, every one of Dominik’s men had collapsed, scattered across the pavement, groaning and whimpering in pain. They were completely immobilized.
Annabel tossed the steel pipes aside, letting them crash loudly against the ground. She fixed her gaze on Dominik, her face unreadable.
“What do you say, Dominik? Shall we make a deal p>
“A deal?” Dominik repeated, stunned.
Annabel nodded. “Tell me—who is the person you’re trading with? What benefits did he promise you? I can guarantee you double whatever he offered p>
“Hmph!” Dominik scoffed. He had to admit, Annabel was impressive. He had never seen a woman so ruthless and agile.
But thinking of Talia’s seductive face, he rejected her calmly. “I might be wicked, but even we have our principles, and we value them. I won’t betray my own ethics for a little extra gain p>
Annabel’s lips tightened in frustration. “So you’re saying you refuse to cooperate p>
“Cooperate?” Dominik stepped back toward the mouth of the alley and smirked. “Miss Hewitt, you’ve misunderstood me. Did you think I would bring you here without a plan B? Since you’re so capable, let’s see how you fare against more. I brought over three hundred people with me today as backup p>

The moment the words left his lips, dozens of men flooded into the alley, pouring in from every direction until they sealed off all sides.
Annabel gave a contemptuous smile. “You claim you value your moral principles, yet all you do is resort to dirty methods. How shameless p>
“There’s no need to provoke me with words,” Dominik snapped. “Today, you have no choice but to die right here, right now p>
As if he had already passed sentence, Dominik leaned against the wall. He took out a cigarette, lit it with a lighter from his pocket, and drew in a slow breath before exhaling a thin ring of smoke.
“I’ll give you a time limit,” he said coldly. “By the time I finish this cigarette, if you haven’t killed this woman, you no longer have the right to come back with me p>
At his order, the men tightened their grips on steel pipes and charged at Annabel without hesitation.
The alley was narrow, a confined space with barely any room to maneuver—especially not with so many people packed inside it. Annabel was completely surrounded, with no clear path to escape.
As she watched the crowd rush toward her, her expression tightened into a small frown.
