Bullets were flying across their heads. If it hadn't been for Ryan protecting her behind a tree, her entire body would definitely have been riddled with holes by the bullets.
Sharon was in a hurry to find Stanley in the midst of the battle. There were too many people, and she had to be on guard against bullets. For a moment, she couldn't find him.
The sky turned bright, and the day was about to break.
There was a smell of blood in the fresh air, and one could almost vomit smelling it. Sharon looked at the corpses lying on the ground, her teeth chattering.
"Stanley!"
She called his name.
Not far ahead, Stanley's angry voice rang out. "Ryan, take her away first!"
Following the voice, Sharon finally saw Stanley standing behind the wooden house. It was a bit too far away for her to see him clearly. She was so worried that she wanted to go to his side, but she knew that she couldn't create any trouble for him now.
"Miss Cruz, let's go!"
Ryan yelled in her ear, "Stanley is trying to buy us some time. If we miss this chance, none of us can escape."
Sharon also wanted to leave, but her legs weren't cooperating; she couldn't move a single step. In her heart, she was too worried about Stanley.
She started tearing up; she was so anxious that she didn't know what to do.
Stanley stood against the log cabin. Opposite him was Shawn standing behind a tree. Their opponents had an abundance of weapons. If they kept fighting like this, they would run out of bullets sooner or later.
Taking a deep breath, Stanley ordered in a low voice, "You! Take her away!"
Shawn looked at him in disbelief. "Me?"
"Do you want her to die here?"
"No, I don't."
"Then take her away!"
Shawn fell silent. If Stanley was there to hold up their enemies, Shawn was indeed confident that he could bring Sharon with him... It came as a surprise to him that Stanley would actually do this. Wasn't he trying to kill him and get rid of him? Why did he want him to bring Sharon along now?
Stanley's face was full of haze. "It's time to settle the matters between me and Isai. You bring Sharon to the southeast, and I'll go look for you after I've finished with the matters here. Don't you dare bring Sharon to other places. I'll hunt you down if you do so!"
At this point, he looked over with a hint of killing intent in his eyes. "The next time we meet, you'll die."
Hearing this, Shawn smiled and said, "Now this is the Stanley I know." After that, he paused and asked, "Are you sure you can do it alone?"
"Stop bullshitting! Just go! Protect her and don't let anything happen to her. The kids are still waiting for her to come home."
Shawn looked at him in surprise. After taking a deep breath, he nodded, took out a few magazine clips and a gun from his pocket, and said, "Watch out!"
Stanley raised his hand and caught it. Without saying a word, he gripped the gun in his hand tightly.
Without saying anything further, Shawn turned around and ran in Sharon's direction.
Although the sky was bright, it was not completely bright yet. The fog in the forest was thick. Sharon watched a person running towards her from a distance. She thought it was Stanley, so she ran towards him joyfully, but her facial expression changed drastically as she approached him.
To her dismay, it was not Stanley, but Shawn.
She turned around subconsciously, but Shawn grabbed her wrist and dragged her away immediately.
Sharon yelled, "Let go! What are you doing?"
