Chapter 318
318 Buying time
All the men, including the leader, widened their eyes in horror. They were lost, it felt like their hearts had been separated from their bodies. They didn’t offend anyone else but Alpha Chaos?!
“Lola,” Jeslyn mumbled with Lola on her lap as she sat there on the floor, lost in her own world of hopelessness with Lola’s limp body.
She wasn’t breathing, nor was she giving signs of being alive, so Jeslyn lost hope of survival. After all, her men were surrounded and the enemies were still many, about thirty or even more.
She was just sitting there and expecting her death.
Meanwhile, the enemies were all staring at their new leader and waiting for his order. The leader shifted his gaze at Jeslyn. Her cream–colored shirt was stained with blood. He wasn’t sure if she got wounded but that’s not the problem right now.
“We’ve already offended Alpha Chaos. Even if we let her leave, he’ll still come after us. Peradventure he doesn’t come after us, the person who gave us this mission would kill us. So, it’s only right to kill her.”
“You’re making a big mistake!” Code 7 roared.
“I know. Whatever step I take, we already made a big mistake, so don’t let us waste it.” He said.
“100 million dollars!” Code 5 butted in: He was buying time.
The leader froze. After a while, he relaxed and chuckled. “I don’t do such jobs, bro. Our reputation
matters most-”
Code 5 cut him off, “You have to be alive to consider reputation, right? If you kill Alpha Chaos‘ wife, he’ll hunt you until eternity. But if you take the money and leave, he might be lenient with his punishment. Madam is a nice person, she might beg for you to be let off.”
“Hmmm, those are nice and convincing words but look, her friend is dead and a person like her whom I watched kill my men just a while ago would be very heartless and won’t think twice to seek revenge on me when she gets the chance… so, farewell!”
He pointed his gun at Jeslyn and a villainous smile crept into his lips. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, a loud gunshot sound rang in the alleyway followed by Code 5 and the other’s screams.
“Bang!”
“No!!!”
“F*ck you!!!”
“No!!!”
Iron heart’s finger froze on the trigger. His eyes widened. He looked down at his chest and saw a red stain on his printed white shirt with fading smoke on the area of his chest.
The gun fell from his shaking hands and he touched the wound on his chest. It was as he thought, blood!
He tried to tilt his head to see who shot him from behind but before he could turn halfway, he fell like
a sack of potatoes.
Goodness was on his side because the indomitable person who shot him was walking towards him in relaxed steps while the sounds of gunshots accompanied every powerful step he took.
“Bang!
“Bang
“Bang!
“Ahh!
“Puff!
“Doom!”
Different sounds, from gunshots to screams, down to the falling of men rang in the alleyway.
Looming over Ironheart who was lying on the floor, staring at the man in black who seemed to him like a grim reaper, was Alpha Chaos!
With his gun pointed at Ironheart’s face, without words exchanged or emotions shown, his long fingers pulled the trigger and a large bullet flew straight into his face.
“Bang!”
Ironheart’s face exploded. His brain, blood, bones, and everything that was stored in his head mixed together.
It was an extremely disturbing sight but to Alpha Chaos, it was just like regular water to him. He stepped over the dead body and started walking to his wife.
Even though countless gunshot sounds were ringing behind her, Jeslyn didn’t turn nor wake up from
her daze.
Maverick lowered his height and carried his wife into his arms. It was at that moment when her nose took in the familiar smell of her husband’s perfume did Jeslyn slowly awoke to see the handsome face
of her dear husband.
“Ma- Mave-” her voice disappeared and a stream of tears broke onto her cheeks.
“You are fine now,” Maverick lowered his face and kissed her on the forehead.
Jeslyn shook her head fervently, “Lola…” she managed to say.
“She’ll be brought to the hospital,” Maverick said and started walking towards the entrance.
“No, Lola is dead!” Jeslyn cried out loud.
Maverick paused in his steps. He turned his head to look behind him at Lola who was being carried off the floor by Code 10. She indeed looked like a dead. person.
Code 10 observed Lolita for a while and frowned when he saw a faint yellow glow at the exact place she was shot. Lolita had stopped breathing when he carried her off the floor, but now, he could feel life in her.
The situation came as a shock to him but he didn’t dare to keep his angry master waiting, so he nodded, an indication that Lolita was still breathing.
“Send her to Matt,” Maverick instructed.
“Yes, Boss,” Code 10 responded and started hurrying towards the other entrance.
“Lola died because of me,” Jeslyn had been blaming herself since. While they were fighting, she realized that she was the one the people came for. Now, her best friend is dead and it’s her fault! “You
can’t be sure until Matt says so.”
“B- but she stopped breathing,” she refused to be consoled.
“Her body might have needed to shut itself down for a few seconds to support her.”
“Maverick, she was shut in the chest!”
“There are other parts of the organs in and below the chest that aren’t the heart. The bullet might have missed her heart, which means she might have a chance of survival if an operation is carried out immediately.”
Jeslyn’s tears stopped flowing and she stared at her husband’s face for a long time. “Y- you mean…” “You shouldn’t worry too much, she might be fine. Matt will take care of her.”
Jeslyn nodded.
Meanwhile, Jeslyn had no idea that when she held Lolita in her embrace and was crying, a faint glow left her ring and entered Lolita’s wound through the back.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
