This scene happened so fast that no one in the yard could react. No one could recall how the masked man rushed into the yard. It was as if he appeared beside Toles out of thin air.
It wasn't until Towers fell to the ground with blood spurting out of his neck that the people in the courtyard seemed to have recovered from their pause. The women let out ear-piercing screams in unison while the men roared furiously. Their first reaction was to reach for their weapons at their waists.
Those who could attend the party at Toles' villa were basically members of the Mafia family. Their status in the Gehrman family may not be as important as Toles, but they were all armed. There were many people who had guns.
Monica was also in a state of shock. Thors, who gave her nightmares, was like a chicken. He was killed by the masked man with a wave of his hand. Furthermore, the masked man used the razor blade that she brought in. She couldn't believe her eyes.
When her gaze fell on the masked man, her body trembled and she almost blurted out a name.
At this moment, the masked man suddenly reached out and pulled out the pistol on Toles' waist. At the same time, he grabbed her waist and took her a big step to the side.
Almost at the same time, Monica also heard the gunshot. She even saw the sparks when the bullet hit the spot where she was standing just now.
The gunshot also made her come back to her senses.
It was only then that Monica realized that even though Toles was dead, she was still in a dangerous situation. Her chances of survival were still slim.
The gunshots in the yard were mixed with the screams of women. The scene was very chaotic.
Monica was carried by the masked man. She couldn't help but dodge left and right. Several bullets flew past her body, and she was in danger.
The masked man didn't say a word from beginning to end, but it gave Monica a great sense of security. It was as if as long as she stayed by his side, she would be fine.
This was a state that was difficult to describe with words. A group of ferocious mafias were chasing them with guns, but Monica felt very peaceful in her heart, and there was no trace of fear at all.
The masked man pulled her hand, and she suddenly pounced on the masked man involuntarily.
The masked man turned sideways and carried her on his back.
Then, Monica felt as though she was riding on the clouds. The masked man stomped his feet on the ground and the two of them instantly soared up to a height of at least three to four meters. Without the aid of any equipment or a run-up, such a jump completely violated the laws of physics — let alone carrying a person, even if they were lightly equipped, if they could jump up to such a height, they would be qualified to participate in international competitions.
Monica even saw the masked man kick the head of a big man when he was exhausted and fell. Then, he used the momentum to jump up again.
After a few jumps, the two had easily crossed the courtyard wall and jumped out of the encirclement. Monica could still faintly hear the exasperated shouts behind her.
The masked man didn't stop. Instead, he carried Monica to the parking lot at the side of the villa.
He glanced around and then came to a black Mercedes-Benz. Among so many cars, this was the only one that didn't turn off. Moreover, there was someone sitting in the car.
Those Mafia people definitely wouldn't give up so easily. He had to break out of the encirclement before they closed in again and leave here safely. He couldn't waste any time. Directly grabbing a car that didn't turn off was obviously the most time-saving way.
The masked man opened the door of the front passenger seat. A middle-aged man was trembling with fear, his whole body trembling like a chaff.
The masked man pulled the middle-aged white man out of the car with one hand.
The middle-aged white man quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, "Please, don't kill me! I have nothing to do with Towers! "
Then, he saw Monica on the masked man's back. As if grabbing a life-saving straw, he said, "Monica! Hurry up and explain to your friend that we're not with Towers! "
Coincidentally, there was no story.
In such a short time, the masked man had chosen this car among the many luxury cars. It was the car that the Grasso family had sent Monica here.
The one who was pulled out and thrown to the ground by the masked man was the butler of the Grasso family. He was the family head's loyal follower.
The masked man didn't care about the butler at all. He just coldly said one word to the driver, "Get out!"
The driver scrambled out of the car.
The masked man stuffed Monica into the car. While closing the door, he put his hand on the hood and came to the other side.
He nimbly got into the car and quickly started the car.
When the Mercedes-Benz rushed forward, the masked man closed the door at the same time.
From pulling out the butler, driving out the driver, and starting the car, the whole process took no more than five seconds. When Monica came back to her senses, the car was already galloping on the road like a wild horse.
Behind them, a group of mafias angrily shot at the car, but they couldn't hit the car accurately. In addition, the masked man drove the car in a zigzag motion, so the bullets didn't even touch the paint of the car.
Those mafias rushed to the parking lot and got into the car to chase after the car.
The car behind them was still some distance away. Monica looked at the masked man, still in shock.
She stared deeply at the masked man who was driving at high speed, and then called out in a trembling voice, "Xia!"
The masked man drove through a sharp corner at high speed. The movement of the tail was almost impeccable. When the car entered a straight road, he quickly turned his head to look at Monica, and then continued to stare at the road, holding the steering wheel tightly.
The masked man asked in English, "Do you know me?"
Monica was very excited. When the masked man appeared, she had a very familiar feeling. Whether it was the movement or the figure, it was very similar to the oriental man who was engraved in her heart.
"It's really you?" Monica said excitedly, "God … This is unbelievable. Xia, how did you suddenly appear here? Is this really God's will? "
The masked man said faintly as he drove, "I don't know why you're so excited, but I think … you've got the wrong person!"
After that, he reached out and took off the headscarf covering his face.
Monica's ecstatic expression suddenly froze — this was a completely unfamiliar face. It was not the man she had been thinking about day and night.
Although many Europeans and Americans felt that Asians looked similar when they saw them, just like how Huaxia people saw foreigners, it was difficult to tell the difference between them. But Monica was different.
When she saw other Huaxia people, she might not be able to tell the difference, but it was absolutely impossible for her to mistake Xia Ruofei. Xia Ruofei's appearance had been deeply engraved in her mind.
The young man in front of her was not Xia Ruofei at all.
From great surprise to great disappointment, Monica's mood was like a rollercoaster. She squeezed out a smile and said, "I'm sorry, I've got the wrong person … Sir, thank you for saving me today …"
This masked man was naturally Xia Ruofei, but after changing his appearance, Monica could not recognize him at all.
In fact, when he was covering his face, Monica's intuition was quite accurate. This feeling was very mysterious, and only two people who were very close to each other would have this kind of feeling.
However, when Xia Ruofei took off the headscarf covering his face, Monica naturally overturned her previous judgment — after all, Xia Ruofei's means of changing his appearance was too magical. Even his temperament was completely different from before. Monica would never have thought that her previous judgment was right.
Sometimes, what the eyes saw might not be the truth, but the first impression was more accurate.
Actually, Xia Ruofei was one step ahead of Monica and had already hidden outside the villa.
When he saw Monica get out of the car, he felt a stabbing pain in his heart.
At that time, Xia Ruofei said in his heart, "Did Monica finally choose to compromise? Maybe this is not a compromise, but something she did willingly? "
Because at that time, Xia Ruofei saw Monica give Toles a charming smile.
Xia Ruofei was too familiar with this smile. Every time he was with Monica, this smile would make him completely lose his resistance. The temptation of this smile was amazing.
However, Xia Ruofei was a cultivator after all. He quickly noticed the razor that even the woman in black who was searching him did not notice.
At this time, Toles was about to put his arm around Monica's shoulder, but Monica had already raised her hand. The reflection of the razor blade completely woke Xia Ruofei up.
Without any hesitation, he shot out at lightning speed. Before Monica could make a move, he snatched the razor blade with his mental energy and slit Toles' throat with a single slash.
Until now, Xia Ruofei still felt a little guilty for his short hesitation just now.
When Monica called out his name, his heart trembled, and he wished he could immediately reveal his identity.
But Xia Ruofei knew that he could not do that.
His true identity was too sensitive. He had such a big company behind him and so many employees. If he was involved in such a vicious case, too many people would be affected.
In addition, Xia Ruofei did not want Monica to be implicated. Naturally, the less she knew about such things, the better. Only by hiding it from Monica could he be as foolproof as possible. In the future, even if Monica used a lie detector or advanced hypnosis, she would only reveal Xia Ruofei's current appearance.
Therefore, when he saw Monica's disappointed look, although Xia Ruofei felt a little distressed, he still hardened his heart and did not reveal his true identity.
Monica couldn't help but look at Xia Ruofei again. If she didn't look at his face, she would really think that the man in front of her was the man in Huaxia who had left an unforgettable impression on her.
Then, Monica suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but ask, "Sir, just now when I called you Xia, you seemed to have asked me, 'Do you know me?'"
Xia Ruofei said indifferently, "My name is Xia, and I'm from Huaxia. Madam, I haven't asked for your name yet! "
"Xia …" Monica repeatedly chewed on the name and couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
She said in her heart, "He's also surnamed Xia, and he's also from Huaxia. What a coincidence!"
"Hey! Did you hear what I said? You're not asleep, are you? "
When Xia Ruofei's voice sounded, Monica came back to her senses. She quickly said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was a little distracted just now … Hello, Mr. Xia. My name is Monica Grasso. You can call me Monica!"
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Hello, Monica!"
Monica explained, "Just now, I thought of a Huaxia friend of mine, so I was distracted. I'm really sorry!"
Hearing this, Xia Ruofei couldn't help but have a mischievous heart. He smiled and asked, "Do I look like your Huaxia friend?"
Monica turned her head and looked at Xia Ruofei again. She said seriously, "He's the same as you, surnamed Xia … You two … How should I put it? There's obviously no similarity in appearance, but there seems to be a very similar characteristic. I can't explain it clearly, but I just thought you were him … "
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded. "Is that so? Is there such a magical thing? If there's a chance, can you introduce me to him? "
"No problem! I believe that you two will become very good friends! "Monica said without hesitation.
Then, Monica couldn't help but ask curiously, "Mr. Xia, why did you appear in Toles' villa and save me?"
Xia Ruofei focused on driving and said lightly, "I appeared in Toles' villa to kill him. As for the reason, I think it's better for you not to know. It's better for you this way. Saving you … was just a coincidence! I saw the blade between your fingers. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. We Huaxia people believe that meeting is fate. Since we met, I brought you out of there, that's all! "
"Just a coincidence!" Monica murmured.
Although she had already confirmed that this Xia was not the same person as the one in her heart, Monica still felt a faint sense of loss in her heart.
Xia Ruofei looked at the rearview mirror and asked, "Monica, do you have any other questions?"
"No!" Monica blurted out.
"Since there's no other questions, then fasten your seat belt and sit tight in your seat!" Xia Ruofei said.
As soon as he said that, Monica suddenly felt the car speed up a lot. The strong pushing force caught her off guard.
After fastening her seat belt in a hurry, Monica realized that the headlights behind her were a little dazzling.
The safety features of the Mercedes-Benz were quite good, but this kind of unmodified factory car was obviously inferior to the off-road vehicles of the mafia in terms of speed.
