Chapter: 759
The leader's gaze shifted to Joanna. She indeed belonged to the influential Andrews family.
He had long established his dominance in Glophia and was familiar with the influential families there.
Previously, he had avoided conflict with the Andrews family, but now, with his alliance weakened, he saw a chance to stage a dramatic event that would shock the local police.
The murder of Joanna Andrews, from one of Glophia's esteemed families, would indeed create a sensation.
"The Andrews couple's daughter here?" He exclaimed, unable to hide his surprise. "What a catch!"
Laughing boisterously, he ordered, "Grab her, men. This will be quite the show for the cops."
He envisioned the drama of executing such an audacious act in front of law enforcement.
His men, armed and determined, moved quickly.
Norah, her expression stern, confronted the gang leader, "You're the leader of the Inferno Alliance?"
"You know who I am?" the leader replied, visibly startled. "Trying to connect won't help you today."
Turning to his men, he instructed, "Leave Miss Andrews unharmed. Just bring her here, and for your cooperation, you can spend time with those two women. I'll take the fairest."
His words coldly sealed the fate of the four without a second thought.
In a moment of tense silence, Norah's emotions flickered across her face. Suddenly, she lifted her hand and fired.
"Uh..." The targeted man clutched his chest and collapsed, his fall reluctant.
Other men stood frozen, shocked by Norah's adept shooting. Despite the distance, her casual yet deadly shot took them by surprise.
One of the men, terrified, stumbled backward, stammering, "Boss, we... we..."
The gang leader's expression grew grim. “So, you're the slayer of my men. I had plans to spare you."
He pointed his gun directly at Norah and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
A gunshot rang out, but almost simultaneously, a man beside him shoved him aside, causing him to miss. He stared in disbelief at the small bullet hole near the door.
They had fired at the same moment. Had it not been for the timely intervention, he might have been the one with a bullet in his head.
"As the leader of the Inferno Alliance, you don't seem to be too skilled with firearms," Norah commented, eyeing the bullet hole that was just off mark from her position. Her voice was teasing, laced with confidence.
“If that's the best you can do, I'd advise against wasting your time with us. Otherwise, you'll end up like them," she warned, her tone dark yet alluring, echoing ominously in the room.
Susanna's eyes sparkled with admiration for Norah, seeing her as both heroic and beautiful. She felt a surge of security in her presence.
The gang leader, no stranger to dangerous situations, quickly assessed the threat Norah posed. He realized she was as formidable in action as she was in words.
