For a moment, the atmosphere became tense.
A furious gunbattle broke out inside and outside the mansion. The people brought by Amelie all took out their weapons and the two sides confronted each other face to face.
One was in the open while the other was in the dark. Except for Adam and Carter, all the other well-trained soldiers were all outside.
The moment the gunshots rang out, Anthea bowed down and went to hide, according to Adam's instructions. There was a rain of bullets, but she no longer had the time to be afraid.
Anthea was unable to help them. She could only shoot.
The only thing she could do right now was not to cause any more trouble. At the same time, she tried her best to cover her body from being shot by the airpiercing bullets.
She held the gun in her hand tightly, not daring to relax. She was on full alert.
Even though Adam was fighting fiercely, he never left her, with broad shoulders and back protecting her.
The gunfight lasted for ten minutes.
The people brought by Amelie were either shot or captured.
This was a trap. Now that she had fallen into it and was ambushed, she would not have any chance of winning. Her people and she were completely annihilated.
Amelie was also injured. Her right leg and shoulder were shot, and she fell to the ground awkwardly. All of these were made by Carter in the attic.
In the end, it was Carter, whom she had never respected before, who caught her and handcuffed her.
When everything was settled, Carter hung up the phone and reported, "Captain Chin, we have already notified the local military!"
Adam nodded. He glanced at Amelie coldly with his black eyes and ordered, "Take Amelie away. Leave the others to the local military. Inform our people to leave half an hour later."
"Yes!" Carter nodded.
Vehicles gathered outside and the surviving killers who followed Amelie were all taken away by the military.
Carter also escorted Amelie and strode out.
Everyone was ready to leave. Adam was holding his waist with one hand and negotiating with the people
of local military. Anthea and the other military doctor were packing up their medical cabinet, about to leave with them.
Anthea kept looking at Amelie.
After losing her plan, she appeared unusually calm, except for her scarlet eyes glaring at them with hatred.
As she approached the car, Amelie stumbled.
It seemed to be because she was shot in the right leg, she staggered and fell down.
Carter exerted force in his arms, wanting to lift her up.
However, when Amelie fell down, her hands, which had been handcuffed, went down, as if stretching to her ankles.
Anthea's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Overwhelming fear rose from the bottom of her heart.
Anthea saw a small silver pistol in Amelie's hand. It seemed to have been hidden in advance. She quickly turned around and pointed the pistol at Adam, who was standing sideways at the door of the house and was unguarded.
Anthea’s little face instantly turned pale.
In a second, Anthea realized that Amelie came with the intention of perishing together. Even if her plan failed in the end, she had another plan...
Amelie pulled the trigger.
Anthea shouted, 'Adam, watch out-"
Almost out of instinct, she rushed over.
Running with all her might, Anthea threw herself into Adam's arms.
