Before leaving, Freya went to the nursery. Xin Yao was sleeping soundly. She didn't know what sweet dream she was having, and she even giggled from time to time.

Freya was extremely grateful that God had given her such a well-behaved daughter, which saved her a lot of trouble and allowed her to do what she wanted after giving birth.

She had once thought about whether she should stay by Xin Yao's side and cherish the short time of their family of three.

But then she thought that Xin Yao was going to inherit the throne of the Queen of Stolan in the future. Her life would surely be full of ups and downs, and she would have to endure several times more hardships than ordinary people.

Therefore, they shouldn't spoil Xin Yao and make her spoiled. Instead, they should let her get used to being independent from an early age.

Freya knew it was unfair to Xin Yao. After all, her parents would be with her very little from childhood to adulthood. But she had already promised her master that Xin Yao would become the heir of Stolan, so she couldn't be soft-hearted.

"Baby, forgive Mommy for not being able to stay by your side!" Freya lowered her head and gently kissed Xin Yao's eyebrows.

The little one suddenly opened her big black grape-like eyes and grinned happily at her.

Seeing this, Freya's heart melted.

She held the child's little hand, and her eyes were filled with deep maternal love.

"Your Majesty the Queen."

Suddenly, the voice of the nanny came from behind.

Freya turned around and said apologetically, "Sorry for waking you up."

The nanny quickly got up, came over, and bowed her head. "It's my fault. I didn't even know you were here, Your Majesty."

"It doesn't matter." Freya looked down at the time on her wristwatch and said, "I'll trouble you to take care of Xin Yao. I have something urgent to attend to and have to leave now."

That flustered feeling became particularly obvious once she relaxed.

Freya was worried that something might happen to Bradley, so she didn't dare to stay any longer. She got up and left the royal palace.

Xin Yao was taken care of by Madeline, and there was a nanny watching over her at night. Since the poisoning incident last time, Bradley had even increased the number of people to secretly protect the surroundings. No suspicious person could sneak into the royal palace.

Therefore, Freya wasn't worried about anything happening in the royal palace. Instead, she was worried about the danger Bradley might face as he went out to carry out the mission personally at night.

......

No. 20 Anping Street, heading west.

The black Hummer made a perfect emergency stop in the night and finally came to a stable halt.

Blue Book got out of the car first, walked around to the back seat, and opened the car door for Bradley. As soon as the man got out of the car, he rushed towards the place Gabriel had mentioned.

It was a two-story courtyard. When Bradley approached, there were all the people Gabriel had brought around.

"Where is he?"

Bradley asked in a deep voice.

Gabriel looked towards the darkness with unwillingness, and his voice was extremely cold. "He's hiding and refuses to show himself. However, the other party asked to see you. I had no choice but to call you here in person."

In the darkness, a pair of sinister eyes were bathed in the night. When Bradley appeared, he had already become the target of the other party's sniper.

Bradley's vigilant eyes swept around and he keenly noticed the red dot in the darkness.

That was... a sniper rifle!

The man's eyebrows furrowed subconsciously. When the bullet was shot at him, he instinctively dodged to the side.

"Over there!" Gabriel shouted coldly. Then, a group of people quickly chased after the direction.

Bradley walked to the opposite tree and found a bullet from the pierced tree bark. It was exactly the same as the bullet at the royal palace last time, which indeed confirmed that it was fired by the same person.

The other party's marksmanship seemed to have been professionally trained. If it weren't for his physical illness, it would have been very difficult for him to avoid this shot.

The people who chased after him missed again. The environment here was too complex, and all the streetlights around had been damaged. It was pitch black at night, and it was very difficult to capture someone who was extremely familiar with the terrain here.

Gabriel stood beside Bradley and said in a deep voice, "It seems that the other party's target is you. He lured you here through me just to kill you more conveniently."

Bradley played with the bullet in his hand, and his pupils shrank sharply again.

The next second, he shouted coldly, "Be careful."

Another shot was fired, but it still missed the target.

Gabriel's face looked very grim, and he said anxiously, "Since the other party wants to kill you, it's too dangerous for you to stay here."

"It doesn't matter." Bradley was extremely calm, standing there like a statue.

The other party knew that he had been exposed but didn't flee. Instead, he hovered around, aiming to take his life.

So, if he left now, the other party would surely flee again, and it would be even more difficult to catch him then.

Bradley had a good understanding of weapons. Based on these two bullets, he could roughly judge that it was an I15 triple sniper rifle, and its effective firing range could reach 1500 meters. But every shot of the other party seemed weak, and the firing range was greatly reduced several times.

It seemed that the advanced gastric cancer was tormenting the other party so much that he was worse than dead. He no longer had enough energy to make the sniper rifle perform at its best.

Facing a patient, what was there for him to be afraid of?

After thinking for a while, Bradley decided to negotiate with the other party.

He wanted to see what the other party really wanted to do and what his purpose was for assassinating him.

"Gabriel, retreat all the people." Bradley ordered.

Gabriel looked at him in confusion and said anxiously, "Why should we retreat? Knowing that the other party wants your life, withdrawing the people now will only increase your danger."

Bradley insisted on his idea, and his voice became colder. "The other party is a patient with advanced cancer. With his current strength, he can't hurt me. Let everyone retreat first."

Although Gabriel was worried, he had always respected Bradley and obeyed his order.

"All of you retreat!"

As soon as the words were spoken, all the people hiding in the dark retreated to a safe distance.

Relying on his feeling, Bradley's long and narrow eyes looked towards a certain position. Although the sniper rifle was equipped with a silencer, he could still judge the position of the other party according to the direction of the bullet.

"I've sent everyone away. Now, tell me why you want to kill me?"

Bradley's tone was very light, as if he was casually discussing the weather tonight.

There was a long silence in the quiet night before a hoarse male voice came, "Because you deserve to die!"

"How dare you!" Blue Book shouted.

Unexpectedly, the other party sneered. "I'm a patient with advanced gastric cancer and only have a month left to live. Don't threaten or intimidate me. I'm a dying man and I'm not afraid of you."

Bradley raised his hand to signal Blue Book to step back and said, "Tell me, how do I deserve to die?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other party's emotions suddenly became very agitated. "I'm in this situation all because of you. You destroyed my family, took away my job, and made me lose everything. I want to kill you."

After saying that, the other party fired several more shots in a row.
