How Did This Bat-shaped Dart Appear?

Watching Melina run out with Yelena, while Alexei coldly worked on his car in the distance.

Ke Chen's heart gradually sank. He knew that this day had finally come.

He wanted badly to keep Natasha and the others with him, but he knew he could not protect them.

"Godfather."

Yelena threw herself into Ke Chen's arms as well.

The two little girls immediately occupied him.

"Little princess, don't cry."

Ke Chen gently held Yelena. Feeling his tenderness, her sobbing softened.

"Why can't we live with you?"

Yelena asked through tears.

Ke Chen had no answer. He could only hold them.

"No one can stay together forever, little princess."

That was all Ke Chen could say.

Yelena kept shaking her head, quickly soaking Ke Chen's clothes with tears.

After a while, he let go of his two goddaughters.

He took out two small, inconspicuous necklaces from his pocket and put them around their necks.

From the moment they wore them, only they themselves could see them.

"These are gifts from me. No matter what happens, never give up."

"You will always be the best."

Ke Chen spoke heavily.

The two goddaughters could not say anything. They only cried harder.

Then Ke Chen took out another one and put it around Melina's neck.

"You are my bride."

He was a scumbag anyway, so at a time like this, he did not hold back his words.

If he were really asked to marry Melina, he definitely would not agree.

But saying something like that would not cost him anything.

"I love you."

Melina could no longer control her emotions and said it aloud.

"Me too."

Melina wore the child necklace and lowered her head. "It's beautiful."

They were child necklaces of the Life-Sharing Necklace.

Ke Chen had never found an opportunity to give them to them.

Now that he had given them away, they were leaving as well.

"Melina, we have to go."

Alexei finished preparing everything and called out to them.

Watching his nominal wife and daughters being close to another man filled him with indescribable pain.

Melina had no choice. She knew they could not waste even a second.

"We have to go."

She took her two daughters by the hand and headed for the car.

Melina could barely control herself, forcing herself to be a little more hard-hearted for the moment.

But Yelena kept turning back to look at her godfather.

Natasha, meanwhile, pretended not to care and walked ahead without looking back.

That road eventually came to an end. They got into the car, Melina waved to Ke Chen, and then the vehicle disappeared from his sight.

Before long, countless sirens blared. They had already been discovered.

"You shouldn't have wasted time."

Alexei complained, "Don't tell me you really fell in love with him?"

"He is our enemy."

"He is not from the United States."

Melina said coldly, her eyes full of reluctance.

Alexei drove to a farm they had prepared beforehand. There was an old-fashioned plane there.

Natasha and Yelena seemed exhausted from crying. Like wooden dolls, they merely followed Melina onto the plane.

Then they watched the two adults struggle to start it, sending the aircraft racing forward.

"Can we come back?"

Yelena asked her sister.

Natasha looked out the window. "I will definitely come back."

"I'll definitely come back before you do."

Yelena refused to be outdone, but neither of them knew what their future held.

As children, they could never decide their own fate. They did not even know what would happen to them.

At that moment, they both hated the feeling of being controlled.

If they had already grown up, they would not have needed to listen to Alexei and Melina at all.

At that moment, Alexei jumped onto the plane while Melina controlled the old propeller plane, trying to get it airborne.

Countless bullets streaked past him.

Police cars followed behind them. Just then, a bullet flew toward Melina in the cockpit at an astonishing angle.

In that split second, a dart-shaped hidden weapon flew from the rooftop beside them.

The dart struck the gliding bullet with incredible precision. It was instantly knocked away, but the bullet's trajectory changed as well.

It had originally been fired toward Melina, but it hit Alexei, who had just boarded the plane.

Alexei was shot in the shoulder, and blood instantly soaked his shirt.

"Are you okay?"

Melina, unaware that she had just escaped death, asked.

If Alexei died here, they would be finished.

"I'm fine."

Alexei felt rather unlucky.

At that moment, Natasha and Yelena both seemed to see a figure on the rooftop outside the window.

But when they rubbed their eyes and looked again, the figure had vanished.

"Was that an illusion?"

Natasha murmured. She thought she had seen her godfather!

And... her godfather had even waved at her.

Natasha lowered her head and tightly gripped the necklace her godfather had given her.

Ke Chen stood in the shadows. Seeing the plane successfully take off, he turned and quietly left after accomplishing his deed.

He had no choice. FBI agents and other operatives had already surrounded the area.

If he did not leave now, it would be too late.

Even with Ke Chen's abilities, once he was surrounded, he would only end up being captured.

"Sir, they got away."

"I'm not blind."

An officer from some unknown department said, "Search this place and see if there's any information."

"Damn Russian bears."

Clearly, they already knew the identities of Alexei and his family.

Although the enormous Red Empire had collapsed, Russia, which inherited most of its legacy, still opposed the United States. Their covert struggle had never diminished.

Soon, the joint search conducted by several organizations came to an end.

They were all experienced agents, and they quickly found useful information.

"We found a dart here!"

Everyone looked over. An agent held a black dart in his hand. It was shaped like a bat, incredibly sharp, and bore a bullet mark...

"How did this appear?"

"I don't know."

"You don't know? Did it appear out of thin air? Search the area!"

Clearly, those people had accomplices!
