In an instant, what looked like four or five bullets hit Josiah's chest.
The staff nearby were also injured.
Simultaneously, a group of soldiers in military uniforms jumped out from all directions and returned fire.
Following the assault of immense firepower, Quinn and Lucas were soon shot and fell in a pool of blood.
Before I could react, I heard the long, ear-piercing sound of a car horn rushing towards me from afar.
I turned, only to discover a black car that was about to run over me.
However, within the blink of an eye, a person immediately jumped out from behind and threw me forward.
I opened my eyes as my surroundings finally stopped spinning and Hendrix's face came into view.
We were both breathing heavily. The car had already departed by the time I checked.
The only thing left was the commotion at the club.
The gunfight had caused quite a stir. Seeing the military regulate the situation, the public recklessly gathered to surround the entrance of the club.
Hendrix supported me and helped me through the crowd.
The injured were all taken into the club hall. When we entered, Josiah was already dead.
Anne held him in her arms and didn't say a single word, but her eyes were bloodshot. Drops of tears drenched her eyelashes and fell to the ground. Her sadness was a palpable thing to anyone who watched.
Anne never saw how Josiah hurt Monique. Hence, to her, the person in her arms was just her father who gave life to her.
Hatred was superficial, but blood ties ran deep.
