Chapter 236: Chapter 236: Refusing to Let Go (6)
"Maybe they’re just jealous of my good looks!" Even in such a perilous situation, king remained cautious and composed.
"Stop joking around! If we don’t take out that machine gunner up ahead, we’re not getting out of here!" Lott didn’t share their calmness in the face of crisis. ’He was the one who caused this mess; he absolutely cannot let anything happen to king!’
"Want to take him out? Easy enough! You jump out from here!" Seraphina Sterling shot Lott a glance. ’If he hadn’t had his men capture me, I wouldn’t be facing this kind of crisis!’
Lott stared at the dense spray of bullets. ’Charging out now would be a suicide run! But since her marksmanship is good enough for even king to praise, she should be able to handle this.’
"Seraphina Sterling! This had better work!" With that, Lott leaped out. He could hear the WHIZ of a bullet grazing past his ear!
The moment Lott moved, Seraphina Sterling sprang up, kicked off the wall with one foot, aimed for the space between the machine gunner’s eyes, and killed him with a single shot!
Seraphina Sterling patted Lott’s shoulder. "Stop playing dead. Keep up!"
He was still alive! Lott took a deep breath. He was damn lucky to have survived such a dense hail of bullets! But Seraphina Sterling’s marksmanship was truly on another level, good enough to rival king. ’A moving shot in such a narrow space, with just a handgun, all while dodging enemy fire... and she still landed a one-shot kill. That’s unbelievably difficult!’
"Convinced now?" ’king knew his younger brother all too well. If he hadn’t been so skeptical of Seraphina Sterling’s skills, he wouldn’t have let himself be provoked into disobeying a direct order and taking this job.’
"I’m sorry!" This was the first time Lott had ever formally apologized to king.
"Save that for after we get through this!"
The three of them made it to the doorway without incident. Once through this door, they would be out of the villa. But there was no telling how many people were waiting for them on the other side.
"Roy, stop struggling. You can’t escape! Even if you’re a sharpshooter, you can’t fight everyone at once! My men are everywhere outside!" A gruff voice rang out, forcing the trio to change their plan to break out.
"king, don’t tell me you came here alone? When’s backup getting here?" ’Seraphina Sterling had just peeked outside; there were at least a dozen of them! A dozen men with guns guarding an exit this small... if they each fired just one shot, it would be more than enough to take all three of them out.’
"If they’re not here by now, they’re probably not coming!" king grew serious. ’Without backup, getting out of here safely would be next to impossible.’
"Fuck!" Seraphina Sterling really felt like cursing. ’Looks like our odds of getting out of this alive are slim to none.’
"What do we do?" Lott was completely out of ideas.
"We go out! If we stay, we die!" king knew better than anyone how grim their situation was. He glanced at Seraphina Sterling. "Kid, stay behind me and Lott!"
’For the first time, king felt he had no control over the situation. He was starting to regret dragging Seraphina Sterling into this. He’d never expected Tony’s reach to be so long that he could even cut off his backup!’
Lott had no objections. The moment king shoved the door open, he charged out in front of Seraphina Sterling. The three of them scattered in different directions almost simultaneously. They could feel bullets whipping past them nonstop. As luck would have it, Lott was the only one to receive the bullets’ "affectionate" greeting.
Though king and Seraphina Sterling were unscathed, the situation remained grim. They were still at a major disadvantage.
