Ch. 354: Mr. Edwards’ Unraveled Life Chapter 354

Chapter 354

The special forces kept advancing, one after another, only to be subdued every time.

None of them had any idea what was happening.

Kevin crouched behind a sofa, unarmed and alone. This was a battle of life and death, but he had no choice. If he didn’t fight, Calvin would never trust him, and his mission would fail.

His goal was clear: locate Calvin’s hideout. The risk he’d taken earlier—blocking a needle meant for Bianca—was a calculated move to ensure she’d bring him here.

Only Calvin held the antidote to Kevin’s poison. If Calvin could cure him, there was a chance Norah’s poison could be cured too.

Hope was all Kevin had, and he would cling to it—even at the cost of his life.

Brushing off his fear, Kevin steadied his breathing and stood up, knowing retreat wasn’t an option.

Raising his hands, he looked Calvin square in the eye and smirked. “Kill me, and you won’t make it out of here alive.”

Calvin’s expression darkened. “So, this was your plan all along?”

Kevin nodded. “A win-win, don’t you think?”

“You manipulated me into discovering Archer’s betrayal, knowing I’d try to eliminate him,” Calvin snapped. “You played me!”

Kevin’s gaze didn’t waver. “In your eyes, wasn’t I just a useful pawn all along?”

Calvin aimed his gun. “You’ve mastered this act of sacrifice. Aren’t you afraid of death?”

“I am,” Kevin admitted. “But I’m more afraid of others dying because of me.”

Calvin finally saw the bigger picture. Kevin’s ultimate goal was to have Bianca lead him here, straight to Calvin’s lair. Finding Calvin meant finding the lab—and the antidote.

Kevin was willing to gamble everything, including his life.

Calvin let out a bitter laugh. “You tricked me. But you’ll pay for this!”

Kevin’s calm resolve only fueled Calvin’s rage. Just as Calvin raised his gun to fire, Bianca’s desperate voice rang out.

“Dad, don’t shoot! Please, don’t kill him!” she cried, her voice trembling.

The chaos outside was closing in. Calvin needed to escape. But Bianca’s pleas distracted him, giving Kevin the opening he needed.

In a flash, Kevin grabbed Calvin’s arm and wrested the pistol away.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Kevin dodged the gunfire and ducked behind cover as Bianca screamed in fear, her hands covering her head.

“Which bottle is the antidote?” Kevin demanded.

Calvin sneered. “Do you really think I’d tell you?”

“Tell me, and I’ll let you live.”

“You’ve destroyed my lab!” Calvin yelled, grabbing a submachine gun and firing wildly.

Kevin remained calm. “Even if you don’t say, it’s only a matter of time.”

Calvin’s fury reached its peak as bullets tore through the walls, turning the lab into ruins. His men fought off the special forces outside, but Kevin knew Calvin was planning his escape.

True to Kevin’s suspicion, Calvin activated a hidden mechanism, opening a tunnel beneath the lab.

Kevin lunged, but Calvin was already gone, locking the gate behind him.

By the time Kevin reached the tunnel’s entrance, it was pitch black, and Calvin had vanished.

Bianca’s panicked cries echoed through the ruins. “Kevin, Kevin!”

Ignoring her, Kevin focused on the mission.

“Captain Edwards!” Levi called out as he rushed in, relief evident on his face. “Are you alright? Did Calvin escape?”

Kevin pointed to the tunnel. “Search the area. Capture everyone in the lab—I’ll need them.”

“Yes, sir.” Levi mobilized his team to secure the lab.

Jace entered with a toolbox, unfazed by the chaos. Kevin turned to him. “Jace, check the medicines. Is the antidote here?”

Jace put on gloves and inspected the vials methodically. “I’ll need a few days to run tests, but there’s hope.”

“Do whatever it takes,” Kevin urged.

Suddenly, pain surged through Kevin’s body. He clenched his fists, his face pale, but he refused to falter.

Jace noticed his condition. “Are you sure you’re okay?”

Kevin nodded through gritted teeth. “Just a bruise. Focus on finding the antidote.”

Jace nodded. “Even the smallest clue can lead to a breakthrough.”

Meanwhile, Frank approached Kevin, gesturing toward Bianca, who was curled up in a corner. “What about her?”

Bianca’s tear-streaked face turned to Kevin. “I’m scared. Hold me, Kevin!”

Kevin’s gaze hardened. “Arrest her,” he ordered coldly. “She’s no longer my concern.”

“Kevin! Kevin!” Bianca screamed as the soldiers dragged her away, her cries fading into the background.

Levi returned, frustrated. “Captain Edwards, the tunnel is too complex. We couldn’t catch him.”

Kevin’s jaw tightened. “Lock down the entire city.”

“Yes, sir!”

Levi hesitated before adding, “By the way, Captain Edwards, Madame is here.”

Kevin froze. “What? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

Without wasting a second, he bolted out of the lab and headed for Norah’s car. But when he flung the door open, she wasn’t there.
