"Well then, with that settled, I think I'll take off. It's not like anyone can stop me, right? Is anyone dying for a 500 thousand dollars gift?" Duncan asked cheekily. His twisted sense of generosity was irritating.
Everyone present was trained by Karen. They had sworn to protect Chuck with their lives. And now, Duncan had actually wanted to kill him in five days!
He was threatening Chuck!
"Go to h*ll!" one of the men had shouted.
He was fired up and started to rush towards Duncan who had a sneer on his mouth. Then, a gunshot sounded. A bullet whizzed through the air, fired out of nowhere.
Blood started to spurt out from the man's leg.
The man fell to the ground instantly, cold sweat all over his head. He was shot in the leg, and he was filled with agony.
Duncan glanced at him, waving him away as he said, "Don't even try making a move if you're this incompetent. It's a waste of my 500 thousand dollars. Right then, enjoy your last five days, Chuck."
After that, Duncan made his move to leave.
"Young Master, let's beat him to death! We're not afraid!" one of the men shouted.
"Yes, Young Master, we're willing to die for you!" another echoed.
Everyone surrounding Chuck roared.
Chuck looked at them and contemplated. He knew with Black Rose here, she could easily shoot ten bullets in a second, crippling all of his men in no time. How could they possibly beat someone they couldn't see?
Guns were guns after all. It wasn't a weapon one's body could stand up against fairly.
"Young Master," Betty murmured. Her face was pale, she had been shot and it really hurt. It didn't matter though, her first priority was Chuck's safety.
Chuck shook his head. It couldn't go on like this, he would lose more than half of his men here in an instant.
Chuck could tell the sniper was ruthless, she was in no mood to provide mercy.
"You're smart. I'll have to remind you that Black Rose's gunmanship is unparalleled! No one can defeat her. If you move, I promise this next bullet will pierce through your body! We'll see if you can survive that!" Duncan laughed, a bit delighted as he made his way outside.
All of a sudden!
A gunshot had sounded outside. Duncan turned his head in query and stopped walking.
Chuck and Betty heard it, so did the others in the room. They all fell silent at once.
Duncan narrowed his eyes. Someone had tried to shoot at Black Rose, there was a bullet trace left on the wall, at the spot where she had been standing.
Had someone just attacked Black Rose?
Thinking of this, Duncan felt a chill in his gut. Who was this person? Any ordinary person would not think to mess with Black Rose. Was it Karen? It was impossible! She was still out of the country, she had no time to rush back!
If that were so, who was this person?
A loud boom sounded just then.
Another bullet was fired at where Black Rose was standing. She was keen, alert, attentively observing where the bullet was being fired from. This unknown person had actually found out where she was positioned. It was getting quite interesting.
In an instant, she stood up and pulled her trigger to shoot at her target.
The gunshot made contact with a wall.
As it did, the Black Rose caught a glimpse of her target. It was a woman.
Holding a gun in her hand, the woman appeared very calm.
Black Rose's interest piqued at that. This woman was quite capable, she could have a run for her money.
Then, another shot was fired.
The bullet bounced off the wall next to Duncan, the wall crumbling to ash as it did. Duncan didn't even blink. He merely turned his head and said, "Oh, I thought it was someone else. Turns out, it's you. It's been a long time since I last saw you. You're getting more and more beautiful."
The woman was Willa Logan!
Yes, it was definitely her. She had guessed Duncan's intentions so she had come here prepared, fully armed.
Chuck was touched when he saw her outside. When did Auntie Logan get here?"
Could it be that she has been here all this time, but he didn't know?
Betty was also surprised by her unexpected arrival.
"This sounds like a fun game. I think I'd like to participate if you'll have me," Willa said.
