The ambush was sudden and brutal. The two attackers were ruthless, clearly aiming to kill her!
But to Paige Summers, their speed was nothing special.
Before the attack could land, she had already darted to the side of the wall, pulling Wendy Lowell along and pushing her behind for protection.
She drew her Crossbow and fired a volley of bolts, pinning her opponents down.
As they scrambled to dodge, she grabbed Wendy Lowell again and retreated with lightning speed to the alley's entrance...
Just then, the bodyguards rushed over.
There were four of them. After exchanging a quick glance, two of them immediately moved to escort Wendy Lowell and Paige Summers away, while the other two engaged the ambushers.
Paige felt a twinge of regret. 'I'd rather have handled them myself than let these men interfere. It would have been easier to find out who was behind this.'
'But...'
She glanced at Wendy Lowell and dismissed the thought.
