After a short period of astonishment, Shawn narrowed his eyes slightly. "Ghosts don't exist! Unless someone is pretending to be one!"
But now, there was a good chance in front of him. Isai left with his men, leaving only seven or eight people to guard this cabin. He was confident that he could save Stanley from there.
He made a gesture, signaling the two people next to him to cover him. After that, Shawn bent over and quietly approached the log cabin.
Stanley was sitting still in the cabin. Suddenly, he heard a sound outside, but there was no gunshot. He frowned and immediately sat up straight. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Shawn coming in from outside. Shawn directly raised the gun in his hand and aimed it at him. He was expressionless, and there was a "bang" sound.
Another sound came from behind Stanley. Before the man behind him could react, a bullet shot through his forehead. He fell off the chair, dead with his eyes wide open.
Shawn came over and directly shot the handcuffs off Stanley's wrist with the gun. He said lowly, "Isai is not here. Let's go!"
With that, Stanley bent down, picked up the gun that the dead man could not take out in time, and strode toward the door.
"Why are you here?"
"Don't overthink it. I didn't want Sharon to be in danger, so I came to find you on her behalf!"
"Where is she?"
"I asked William to take her out of here. He'll contact me when they're safe..."
As the two of them pushed open the door and walked out, Shawn had his words stuck in his throat, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on the gun in his hand.
As for Stanley, his eyes narrowed at once, and they were full of chill and darkness.
Isai was standing outside, with the struggling and cursing Sharon in his hand. She was probably beaten as her hair was messy, and there was some blood at the corners of her mouth, not to mention that her cheeks were also swollen.
"Isai, you old fart, let me go!" Sharon did not notice that Isai had stopped and become angrier. "You are the worst ever! No one could compare to you. You killed your own wife, and now you want to kill your own son. Why don't you go to hell, you piece of sh*t?"
She was halfway through her sentence when she noticed Isai staring straight ahead. Following his line of sight, she saw Stanley and Shawn at the door of the log cabin. Both of their gazes fell on her, and time stopped for a moment.
Immediately, Sharon was filled with regret and wished she had stalled for more time. From the look of things, Shawn was just about to take Stanley away, but Isai had brought her back here, and they had all ran into each other.
"Keep cursing! Why did you stop?” Isai held her neck with one hand and pointed a gun at her temple with the other. "Calling me a piece of sh*t? What is Stanley then, hm?"
Sharon immediately kept silent.
Pah! F*cking piece of sh*t!
"I didn't scold you!" Sharon shouted at Stanley. When she thought about it, she felt that their actions were too slow. Rolling her eyes, she complained,
"Why didn't you guys move a little bit faster? Ryan and I tried so hard to play ghosts to buy you some time, and after all that, you're still here? I'm so pissed!"
Shawn and Stanley were both speechless.
With that, Isai snorted coldly. "So it was you who did it. How did you as a woman kill more than a dozen people?"
"I didn't kill anyone, nor do I know how to kill anyone. Don't throw mud at me! Your men clearly outnumber us, so we could only carry out a sneak attack!"
Yes, Sharon's idea was to lure them over, disperse their strength, and then defeat them one by one.
They definitely had no chance to win if they fight face-to-face. But if they were to sneak attack, their chances of winning would be much higher!
