Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 697: I don't owe you anything. You owe me.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The man ducked the moment he heard the first sound of gunfire. He instinctively covered his head, hiding under the table.

Thud!

He flinched when a body thudded onto the table above him, before falling right in front of him. The man's breath hitched, his eyes shaking as he gazed at the person whose life had been taken by a bullet.

It was one of the men who had been pointing a pistol at him moments earlier. The other man's eyes were still wide open, staring at him from under the table.

"Hah..." he breathed out, knowing he had to run as far away from here as possible. But how could he escape when the gunfire was continuous?

Another loud thud rang behind him. Looking back, he saw that the man who had previously aimed a gun at him had been gunned down. Before he could think about what to do next, he heard the door slide open.

"Shit-"

"Get out!" Hugo yelled as he grabbed the man from under the table, glaring at him fiercely. The man slowly looked up, causing Hugo to squint slightly. "You're... younger than I expected."

After saying that, Hugo dragged the man by the collar. At the same time, he lifted his pistol and shot down the person who was approaching the partitioned room. He glanced at the broken partition, indicating that someone had gotten away. However, chasing after them wasn't the plan right now.

"Come with me "

"Wait!" The man grabbed Hugo's wrist, stopping him. He looked at Hugo with wide eyes. "This place is surrounded."

"I know," Hugo replied impatiently. "That's why we need to go."

The man clenched his teeth, clearly displeased about something. He planted his feet firmly to resist Hugo's dragging.

"What? You want to die?" Hugo hissed, his eyes glinting.

"Why did you come back?" the man asked. "I told you to get out, not save me."
