Chapter 153

The dark muzzle of the gun was pressed against the woman’s forehead. She might have just tried to

fight back, and Marie could have killed her with a single shot.

Marie tore open her own shirt effortlessly, balled it up and stuffed it into the woman’s mouth, then

grabbed a rope from the corner and helped the woman by tying her to the corner of the wall.

Marie checked the gun, then opened the restroom window and looked down. It was the second floor,

and she could totally jump down.

Marie tucked the gun into her waist, jumped out of the window, and her legs went numb from the

impact. Then she took out her phone, called the police, and reported that there was a fight going on

here.

In the private room, Dennis was already on the verge of exploding. He originally wanted Marie to leave

by pretending to go to the restroom, as she had just mistakenly entered the room. As long as he and

Clayton were there, those people wouldn’t give her a hard time.

However, as soon as Marie left, the blonde woman went out too. Ten minutes.

passed, and Marie still hadn’t returned.

Dennis stood up and said, “I’ll go find her.”

Aleron laughed, “Mr. Whitney, please be patient. Once the business is done, you’ll naturally be able to

meet that beautiful young lady.”

Dennis kept a straight face and said, “You want five cases of firearms? Why don’t you tell me the

location of your base, and I can provide you with a long-term supply of firearms.”

Aleron laughed heartily, “Wouldn’t it have been better if Mr. Whitney had agreed so readily earlier?”

Aleron walked ahead, while Dennis and Clayton exchanged glances and

followed behind. Just as they opened the private room, a person from outside

suddenly rushed over to Aleron and said, “Boss, our goods have been stolen!”

Aleron’s face turned pale as he was about to grab his gun, but Dennis already had his gun pressed

against the back of Aleron’s head. In a deep voice, he asked, “Where are my people?”

Clayton laughed and said, “Mr. LeBlanc, I advise you not to move around too much. Mr. Whitney’s

bullets can be quite painful when they hit someone.

Aleron slowly raised his hands, and Clayton took the gun from Aleron’s waist,

saying, “Lead the way, once we’re out, we’ll let you go.”

Several people in the hallway were holding guns, pointing them at Dennis and Clayton, but they didn’t

dare to act recklessly.

Dennis grabbed Aleron, while Clayton covered him, and they walked out.

At the staircase, Dennis tapped Aleron’s head with his gun and asked, “Where’s the person?”

Aleron shook his head, “I don’t know…”

Dennis had a cold expression on his face, wondering where that damn blonde

woman had taken Marie.

Aleron thought he still had the upper hand and said with a smile, “Mr. Whitney, only that blonde woman

knows the whereabouts of the young lady. How about you let me go, and I’ll help you find her?”

“Really?” Dennis laughed coldly, glanced at Clayton, and Clayton raised his

gun and waved it. With a bang, a bullet flew from the opposite building and hit

a person’s thigh in the hallway.

Aleron was taken aback, as he thought Dennis and Clayton had come to discuss business, and that

their current conflict was simply due to a disagreement. He

never expected them to have a sniper!

Clayton said, “Aleron, I advise you not to play tricks, otherwise all these people in the hallway will die.” This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Aleron originally had a bodyguard protecting the corridor, but when they realized that Clayton and

Dennis had a sniper, they became a bit panicked.

Because no one knew how many snipers they had, who would be the next

person to die?

Clayton said, “Nobody move! We only want Aleron. Everyone else, put down your weapons, and I

guarantee you’ll live!”

No one moved, and no one put down their weapons; the atmosphere in the corridor had reached a

freezing point.

Although Clayton sent the address to Marie, he only thought the situation was going to worsen and

wanted to use Marie to take Dennis away.

Moreover, Dennis was his buddy, and Marie meant nothing to him, so he

never even considered whether Marie would get hurt.

But at this point, they couldn’t wait for Marie any longer, otherwise who knew if Aleron had any other

help.

The first floor had already been cleared, and Dennis dragged Aleron back to the entrance, still

hesitating, hoping that Marie would appear. Clayton said, “Dennis! We can’t wait any longer!”

After Marie finished her phone call, she heard a gunshot in the pub.

Impulsively, she immediately ran to the entrance, wanting to go inside and find Dennis.

At that moment, as a former top assassin, she didn’t care about any tactics or escape plans. All she

could think about was making sure Dennis didn’t get

hurt.

Marie rushed to the door and saw two people who had already gone around to the side of the street,

aiming their guns at Dennis and Clayton.

Marie, without much thought, rushed over with the gun and stood behind Dennis, firing a shot at one of

the individuals.

The person aiming at Clayton was hit, but the one aiming at Dennis had already fired the gun. Because

he was bumped by his falling companion, the bullet went off course and, with a “bang,” hit Marie’s right

shoulder.

Marie was knocked backward by the impact of the bullet, colliding with Dennis, and then felt an intense

yet familiar pain. She couldn’t hold onto her gun, and it fell to the ground.

Marie raised her hand to cover her right shoulder and fell to the ground. Sirens sounded from the

street, and people in the pub immediately scattered and fled. Dennis handed Aleron to Clayton and

crouched down to hold Marie.

His hand covered Marie’s wound, warm blood gushing out from between his fingers. Dennis’s voice

trembled, “Marie… Marie…”

Marie held onto Dennis’s clothes with her left hand, smiled, “Dennis, it’s okay… I’m fine…”

In her previous life, she had suffered injuries much more severe than this one, so she wasn’t actually

afraid. However, Marie’s physical constitution was not as good as Rose’s, and the rapid blood loss

made her feel dizzy in waves.

Her top was used to gag the blonde woman’s mouth, and she ran over wearing only a pink bra. At that

moment, blood stained half of her body red, making her fair skin even more striking and shocking to the

eye.

Clayton’s people had already arrived. Dennis picked her up and put her in the car, comforting her by

saying, “It’s okay, it’s okay, nothing will happen.”

Marie nodded with a smile, but quickly lost consciousness, her face and lips

turning pale, and she fainted in Dennis’ arms.
