The leader seemed satisfied with his way of scaring the men, so he pointed at another person and said, "You go next. If you dare to jump down on your own, don't blame me for being merciless."
If the person who was sent down did not get shot by Kevin Kyle and did not waste any of his bullets, then their efforts would be futile. Therefore, the leader would not tolerate anyone for jumping down to the sea instead.
They would die either way. The person who was chosen gritted his teeth and walked over like a dead man.
Similarly, when he gradually went down the cliff, he saw Kevin, who was still wearing a faint smile on his face.
Kevin’s expression seemed to be very friendly, but the rascal could only feel chills running down his spine. This man really looked scary.
Kevin didn't do anything, but it still made him feel terrified, as if he had already fallen prey to him.
Kevin still didn't fire his shot. Instead, he pointed at the edge of the cliff with his gun and asked the rascal to jump down by himself.
The rascal looked up and saw that his leader's gun was also pointing at him. Whatever move he made, it would still be a dead end. He clenched his teeth, held on to the branch with one hand, and held his gun with another, ready to shoot Kevin.
However, how could Kevin just watch blindly? He moved so swiftly that he managed to point the gun towards the rascal.
Bang—
The bullet went through the man's hand mercilessly.
As he was shot, the rascal dropped his gun into the sea. Then, he lost the strength to hold on to the branch too. He fell into the sea and was soon drowned by the huge waves. No one knew what happened.
"Damn it!" The leader cursed in anger. He shot aimlessly towards the sky with his pistol and pointed at another person.
The guns they used could only hold five bullets at most. Even if the bullets in Kevin's two guns were loaded, he only had 10 chances at shooting.
Since he shot the two men earlier, and another two more while he was in the cave, Kevin would have six bullets left. Therefore, the leader was ready to let six of his men die just to waste Kevin's bullets.
However, they were pressed for time. It was getting dark and the waves were getting bigger.
If the tides continued to rise and the waves got bigger, after a while, the seawater would flood the cave, and Kevin would be at a dead end.
The leader had suddenly realized this point. As long as they trapped Kevin inside, Kevin would definitely die.
He said, "There's no need to go down anymore. Stand guard here, all of you. Open your eyes wide, and wait for him to die."
As he heard the leader's tactic, Kevin raised his hand and looked at his watch. Two hours had passed, so Nick Black should be arriving soon with his men.
As long as Nick could arrive before the cave gets flooded, everything would be fine. Kevin would even let the attackers off the hook.
The leader of the attackers was taking a bet. He was betting that Kevin would give up and walk out on his own as soon as the cave gets flooded. At that time, it would be easy for them to attack him.
Kevin had never been a person who would let others decide his fate. The tide should be rising soon, and he was pressed for time.
