To tell the truth, Sonia wasn't surprised that Zane and Charles would come to save her. She and Charles grew up together, so he wouldn't sit there and do nothing. As for Zane, she was a civilian while he was a dignitary, so he wouldn't be absent in such cases.
What surprised her was that Titus came as well. Is his condition… well enough for him to do such a thing? she wondered.
Sonia looked at Titus with mixed expressions, including shock, unexpected, surprise, and worry.
When Titus noticed that, he felt very comforted because his daughter cared about him.
"Hahaha! What a touching scene." Tina laughed hysterically and broke the warm atmosphere. Then, she pulled a gun from somewhere and held it against Sonia's temple.
Everyone on the scene was shocked at her actions.
"What do you think you're doing?" Toby asked.
"Can't you see? I'm going to kill her. In my entire life, I hated her the most. When I see all of you care so much for her, the more I feel like killing her so that all of you can suffer in pain. Wouldn't that be interesting to see?" Tina chuckled while she spoke.
"Don't you dare!" Toby had his hands clenched into fists.
"Watch me!" Once Tina said those words, she nudged the gun barrel harder against Sonia's temple.
Feeling the pain in her temple, Sonia groaned while Tina was about to pull the trigger.
At that moment, Tina's laugh became even happier.
"No!" When Titus and the others saw that, their pupils contracted as they quickly screamed for Tina to stop.
However, Tina looked at them and smiled even brighter. The more they screamed for her to stop, the more eager she was.
Bang! A gun was fired, and the sound startled almost all the birds inside the forest, causing them to fly away.
"No—" Titus screamed at the top of his voice and fell to the ground, thinking that Tina had killed Sonia.
Even Sonia thought so, but she felt no pain after closing her eyes and waiting for a long while.
Confused, she opened her eyes and saw Toby and the others still standing before her. What happened? Am I not dead?
While she was thinking about that, she suddenly heard something fall to the ground behind her.
The sound startled her, and she quickly turned around to look. She saw Tina on the ground with both eyes wide open and blood spurting from a hole in her chest.
If her eyelashes hadn't been moving, those who didn't know what happened might have thought she was dead. But judging by the looks of it, she might not make it.
What just happened? Sonia felt a little dizzy.
Then, Toby yelled to her, "Little Leaf, come here, quick. The police in the sky shot and killed Tina."
It was after hearing what Toby said that Sonia realized what had happened. Since Tina was about to shoot her hostage, the police were on first alert and shot Tina before she pulled the trigger.
In the meantime, the military and police that were still hovering above the ground all aimed their guns at Conner and his gang. If any one of them made a move, the military and police wouldn't hesitate to shoot them.
That was because Connor was a very dangerous criminal, so they could kill him if they couldn't apprehend him.
Connor knew that as well, so he didn't stop Sonia from heading over to Toby's side, but his expression was as dark as coal.
Knowing that she was free, Sonia quickly ran toward Toby.
However, at that moment, Xander's expression suddenly twisted wickedly. He ignored the armed forces in the sky and shot at Sonia's back.
The hatred he had for Toby was so strong that he decided that since he couldn't kill Toby, he would kill the person he cared about the most and make him suffer for the rest of his life.
Bang! Bang! Bang! There was another round of gunshots.
When Titus noticed Xander's movements, he quickly ran over and hid Sonia behind his back.
Then, with a "Pfft" sound, the bullet entered Titus' flesh.
