S31 87. The Gunshot

Emily put her hands together in front of her chest. Her prayer sounded loud in the car. Louis could only agree. He was too busy thinking about how to deal with the enemy.

In the midst of the fierce battle, suddenly, Emily felt a vibration from her watch. Seeing the call coming from Frank, she breathed a sigh of relief.

“Daddy!”

“Princess, where is your brother?”

Emily brought her watch closer to Louis.

“Daddy! We are under attack. We’re hiding in the Range Rover, but it turns out, they have a level 8 rifle! The car window can only withstand two shots. The left-side window has been hit twice! So I turned the car to face the rifle,” Louis explained before flinching because a bullet had just hit the windshield.

“Turn the car towards seven o’clock!

“Okay, Daddy. Seven o’clock, seven o’clock.”

“That way, Louis!” Emily helped him thinking.

Quickly, Louis carried out the order. Just as he stopped the car, a bullet hit the arm of the man with the rifle.

“Aargh!”

The shot that should have hit the car instead dived towards the floor.

Instantly, all the guards pointed their guns to where the bullet had come from. “Who is there?”

While everyone was busy looking around, from the opposite direction,

someone ran as fast as light. He put a knife to the shooter’s neck and grabbed the rifle.

“He’s here!”

As the mysterious figure pressed the blade’s edge deeper into his captive’s neck, Victor’s men turned around. He didn’t care how many guns were pointed at him. While using the shooter’s body as cover, he stepped back towards the car. The muzzle of the rifle pointed at

Victor.

“Drop your weapons or this bullet will penetrate your master’s brain!”

Victor gasped. He knew that the shooter had just loaded the rifle and used one bullet. There were still four more that could slide towards
