Chapter: 760
Trying to maintain his composure, he retorted, “Enough talk. Let's see who's quicker on the draw."
No sooner had he spoken than the guns of five of his men were trained on Norah, each one firing.
The barrage wasn't from a single gun but five, intensifying the peril.
Joanna and Susanna, cowering behind cover, cried out in alarm.
"Norah, take cover!" they screamed, their voices filled with fear and desperation.
Faced with an onslaught of bullets, Norah's odds of escape appeared bleak.
Yet, with an unshakable calm, Alice turned her attention to the minions behind the bald-headed leader. A few shots later, each minion succumbed to a single bullet.
The leader watched Alice shoot. He couldn't help but wonder how she learned to shoot so well.
Just when everyone thought it was all over for Norah, she swiftly grabbed onto the sofa's armrest and, with a swift, agile jump, managed to dodge all five bullets with a breathtaking whirling kick.
Joanna and Susanna were totally impressed by Norah's move. They thought she was super cool and really brave.
The gang leader realized that Norah and Alice were not going to be easy to beat. They were stronger than his minions, shooting and hitting their targets without batting an eye.
He was amazed by Alice's actions. Her shooting, accuracy, mental toughness, and calmness were all impressive. He knew he had a tough challenge ahead.
In just a few seconds, while he was thinking, three of his minions had been taken down by Alice. He knew he had to act quickly if he didn't want to become a target.
He clenched his teeth and took a step back, signaling his remaining minion to retreat. “Let's get out of here!" he growled.
Tonight was supposed to be the final celebration for the Inferno Alliance before its members scattered, but it turned out to be anything but that. After tonight, most of the Alliance's members would be caught and arrested, but he and his team of senior leaders planned to flee the country after the killing spree.
Once they were out of the country, it would be much harder for the police to track them down.
The Inferno Alliance stirred up trouble to distract the Glophia police so they could get away. But Joanna's escape would be a bummer -they would've loved to see her get killed. It would've made the night even more thrilling.
The lone minion, protecting his leader from any possible attacks, was clearly frightened. His hands shook as he gripped his gun, knowing that Norah and Alice could end his life in a heartbeat. It was hard not to be afraid.
Watching his friends fall to the ground in the blink of an eye had solidified that fear. It was a matter of life and death.
Norah, seemingly unfazed, raised her hand and fired two shots with ease.
The minion, hit in his wrist, dropped his gun and fell to the floor in pain.
"Ouch! That hurts!"
The bald-headed man wasn't spared either. A bullet found its way to his right knee, causing him to fall to one knee.
"Take your time. The police will be here soon."
