Reflexively, Anthony sprung forward and opened his arms to protect Benjamin.
He did it without hesitation as he stared straight at the enemy's gun.
Bang!
Anthony closed his eyes.
However, even after a few long seconds had passed, he didn't experience the pain he was expecting.
Then, he heard Kenneth shout, “Close the window!”
Upon opening his eyes, he saw that the gunman aiming at him earlier was dead.
He didn't need to guess who blew up that person's head.
Immediately, Anthony shut the window and turned to Kenneth. “Daddy.”
Kenneth gazed at them and reminded, “You mustn't lower your guard at moments like these!”
“Okay!”
The look in the man's eyes shifted as he looked at the vehicle behind him through the rearview mirror. He sneered, “Since they want to die so badly, I guess I'll have to fulfill their wish! Sit tight.”
Immediately, the boys followed their father's instruction.
As Kenneth did his own thing, Benjamin turned to Anthony and examined his brother from head to toe. “Are you okay, Tony?”
“I'm fine,” Anthony assured.
Benjamin released a heavy sigh of relief.
Kenneth used his extreme driving skills to deter the pursuer from chasing after them.
It was apparent that the pursuers wouldn't back down as the two vehicles occasionally bumped into and brushed against each other.
Aside from the front, Kenneth's car was surrounded on all three sides. Occasionally, there were still bullets flying in his direction.
He was focusing on taking out the car on the right while the boys were staring at the car on the right and behind anxiously.
“Daddy—” Just as Anthony was going to say something, he saw a huge car driving leisurely ahead.
Their car was faster, so they were rapidly gaining on the vehicle ahead.
Kenneth kept applying pressure on the car to the right, disallowing them to overtake him or fall behind.
Eventually, with only ten meters away from the huge vehicle, the pursuer on the right could only choose to smash into that vehicle or stop the car.
As Kenneth had no intention of letting the pursuer go, the latter had no choice but to step on the brakes.
However, because the pursuers were going too fast, their car flipped over.
If not for his quick moves, Kenneth wouldn't have been able to avoid a crash.
Anthony applauded gleefully when he witnessed his father's perfect dodge. “You're too awesome, Daddy!”
Upon seeing their pursuer's crushing defeat, Benjamin also couldn't help but cheer, “You're amazing, Daddy!”
Their compliments didn't elate Kenneth.
He looked into the rearview mirror and saw two cars still on their tails. “Sit tight! The best part isn't even here yet!”
Once again, he accelerated his car, to which the vehicle behind responded by doing the same.
“Do you need us to help you, Daddy?” Anthony asked.
