Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman

Jeremy's answer enflamed the fire in Carter's heart. A few seconds later, his lips pulled into a wicked smile.

"It seems that God wants the two of us to end this face to face. Okay, then we will do just that! "

Carter was about to make a move immediately after speaking. Judging from his actions, it seemed that he was carrying a gun.

"Carter, I advise you not to act rashly."

At this moment, another voice came from the front. Fabian walked over calmly with his hands in his pockets.

When Fabian appeared, the group of people who wanted to catch Carter that day appeared behind him.

Soon after, Carter was surrounded by those people again.

"Carter, don't try to struggle unnecessarily!" the man holding the gun warned.

"We received the orders from the higher-ups to take you back to St. Piaf for interrogation. If you dare to resist violently, we will also take corresponding measures to deal with you. We hope you know what's good for you now."

"What's good for me?"

Carter repeated these four words with a smile.

"How dare you warn me like this?"

"Carter, do you still think that you are the Viscount of St. Piaf? You're just a fugitive who has committed a crime!"

"Heh, hehe..."

Carter laughed, wondering how he had fallen to this point.

These people who would normally need to humble themselves before him could now threaten and warn him with such bold words.

At the sight of this, Shirley came to Carter's side again nervously. "Carter, don't try to go head-to-head with them. Listen to me, okay? Just listen to me and go back with them. You're a viscount at the end of the day, aren't you? They wouldn't dare do anything to you."

Shirley clung to Carter's hand in a panic.

"I was wrong, I shouldn't have asked them to arrest you. Carter, I'm begging you, stop resisting, okay?

"

Shirley's face was dreadfully pale because she was almost at the point of pleading with him.

Carter's eyebrows furrowed further at the present. He still did not want to give in, but upon listening to Shirley's pleading, Carter's heart softened involuntarily.

However, he still glanced at Jeremy reluctantly.

Seeing that Carter still wanted to make a move against Jeremy, Shirley grabbed him with all her might.

"No, Carter."

Carter's heart hurt. He lowered his eyes to look at Shirley, who was full of sorrow, and then he suddenly squatted before her.

"I promise you I won't resist." Shirley froze for a moment. "Really?"

"Really," Carter promised and nodded. "If this is the last thing I can do for you, I promise."

"... The last thing? Carter, what does this mean?" Shirley hurriedly grabbed Carter's hand.

However, Carter just smiled deeply and finally turned his gaze on Jeremy.

"Jeremy, let's settle this once and for all."
