Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 961

"Elena, are... are you alright?" Dylan called out, his voice laced with panic.

"Dylan, why did you jump in front of me! You idiot!"

Even if she had taken the bullet, it might not have been fatal! But he had thrown himself into the line of fire to protect her, taking a direct hit to a vital organ.

Elena pressed her hands desperately against his wound, but the crimson tide slipped through her fingers, impossible to stop. Her tears broke free, spilling down her cheeks.

"Don't... don't cry," Dylan murmured, his voice fading. "You have to... promise me you'll live."

"Stop talking. I'm going to save you, I'll save you!" Elena sobbed, pressing harder to stem the bleeding.

But Sirius's men launched another wave of attacks.

Tyler Smith rushed over, laying down cover fire.

"Boss, you have to go!" Tyler yelled.

"I can't leave him!" Elena muttered in despair.

Sirius charged straight for her, kicking her and Dylan to the dirt.

Elena's eyes burned with pure fury as she raised her weapon, unleashing a barrage of bullets at Sirius.

But he managed to dive into cover, dodging the spray.

"Logan! Spare no one, take Sirius out!" she screamed.

"Sean, get Dylan to the hospital right now! Hurry!"

Sean wasn't cut out for heavy combat; staying would only get him killed.

Gritting his teeth, he hauled Dylan into his arms and sprinted away, weaving through the hailstorm of enemy fire.

Elena and Logan locked onto Sirius, tearing after him.

Sirius sprinted out of the village, making a break for his getaway vehicle.

Above them, the sky was slowly beginning to lighten with the approaching dawn.

Logan fired a precision shot, blowing out the tire and rendering the vehicle useless.

Elena closed the distance in a dead sprint. Her gun clicked empty, so she tossed it aside, drawing the combat knife from her harness before launching herself at Sirius in the back of the pickup truck.

"Sirius, your life ends here!"

Logan tied up the rest of Sirius's remaining guards.

That left Elena with a clean shot at Sirius—just the two of them!

"Burn in hell, you monster!" Elena ripped the blade free and plunged it down several more times.

Sirius couldn't even choke out a final word before the life completely left his eyes!

She had finally gotten her revenge!

"Zachary, I avenged you!" she whispered.

"Dylan, I made him pay!"

Over by the perimeter, Logan had finished off the last of the guards, while the few survivors, seeing their leader dead, scattered into the wilderness.

"Boss!" Logan jogged over, panting heavily.

He was battered and bruised, one arm hanging limply from a dislocated shoulder.

"He's dead! He's finally dead. After all these years, I actually did it. I got justice for our team!" Elena cried, her voice shaking with raw emotion.

Logan managed a strained smile. "Yeah, we got justice. We did it, Boss."

A gentle breeze swept through the destruction, carrying a chilling wakefulness over them.

They looked up together, watching the first pale streaks of dawn break across the horizon.
