After witnessing their fellow comrade being shot, everyone panicked while they tried very hard to maintain their cool. They didn't know where the person was hiding.
However, after calming down, they guessed that the person was hiding under the cliff.
There were only two ways to kill Kevin Kyle.
The first way was to head down the cliff and face him directly. They had done this earlier and lost a member, as Kevin was ready to ambush them. This seemed to have a low chance of success.
Another way was to attract Kevin’s attention and lure him up, but Kevin was not stupid. He knew that he would die if he came out, so he would just stay put.
Kevin wouldn't come out and they didn't know how to lure him out too. At the moment, they didn't know what to do.
The group of people were all outlaws. They were good at fighting and killing, but they were not good at devising an ambush strategy. After all, they only listened to other people's orders, and they never need to do much planning.
Everyone looked at each other. They hoped that one of them could come up with a solution quickly.
They were relying on each other.
Compared to the group of hitmen who were anxious and helpless, Kevin, who was just sitting at the entrance of the cave, was relaxed.
Karen Daly felt calm looking at him. Of course, he was confident that he could deal with these people, to protect Karen’s safety, and to wait for Nick Black to arrive with his troops.
Kevin looked at Karen as he raised his eyebrows and smiled subtly at her. He smiled rather cheekily as if he was waiting for her to praise him.
Karen gave him a thumbs-up and mouthed the words, "Kevin, you're awesome!"
After being praised by Karen, Kevin smiled like a child and looked as happy as a kid on Christmas morning.
If the attackers knew that Kevin underestimated them, or that he could remain calm and relaxed during this stressful time, they would definitely be pissed off.
"Boss, the gunshots came from beneath the cliff, so Kevin might be below us," one of them said.
The boss knew that he was down there. The reason why he didn't say anything was that he didn't know what to do. The silence was his only solution.
But this guy was just stating out the obvious.
You could only imagine their level of annoyance and anger.
The boss had just thought of a way to ask everyone to pretend to retreat so that Kevin could let his guard down. Then at his most unexpected, they'll attack him.
Then one of his men actually spoke out loudly. He was so angry that he wanted to raise his gun and shoot this reckless bastard to death.
Kevin was a man experienced in combat. Though he was young, he was wise and meticulous. It would not be easy for them to defeat him.
They attacked Kevin on this island where he was unprepared and at his most vulnerable. It was supposed to be an easy job.
Unexpectedly, they did not manage to kill Kevin yet, and now three of their comrades were dead. Now they believed that they underestimated Kevin's capabilities.
The leader looked at the man who spoke out earlier with a vicious look, then he made a gesture to ask him to go down and have a look.
