Chapter 293
Flora felt pretty sure she could slip away from the mercenaries without a scratch, but the Empire Base folks? They were a real pain. If things got violent, she worried she might accidentally hurt them. After all, they were Connor’s men, and she didn’t want any harm coming their way.
“I won’t hurt you. Just let us go, and I promise you’ll be safe,” she said.
The man’s knees buckled in pain. He could feel something pressed against his head and gritted his teeth in frustration. Who would’ve thought this seemingly delicate girl was such a badass?
Heering Flora’s words, he sneered, “Do you even dare to shoot?”
“You were just holding me hostage. What are you scared of?” Flora’s eyes, shaded by her sunhat, lifted nonchalantly. “You know, if we fight, it’s a lose–lose. Your life and your brothers‘ lives, all gone because of me–what a waste that would be.”
Considering the Empire Base crew and his own brothers, the man knew Flora had him comered.
He didn’t expect her to understand his thoughts so well, and it made him uneasy. She was right; dying because of a woman was too humiliating, even for desperadoes like them.
“Fine, we’ll let you go,” he said through gritted teeth.
Flora grabbed the man by the neck and lifted him effortlessly, like he was a little chick. Til let you go once we’re safe.”
They’d rather have an
The mercenaries looked frustrated and humiliated. Being threatened by a woman? That was a hard pill to swallow. They’d all–out brawl with Flora.
Flora had the Empire Base folks go first, holding onto the man as she walked at the rear. Colton and the Enforcement Leader stuck close by her side, ready for any surprises.
Yara’s eyes flashed coldly. Flora had been full of surprises. Not only was she a hacker, but she also knew martial arts. Colton was head over heels for her, and even the Enforcement Leader was impressed.
At this rate, everyone at the base would be falling for her
The group moved quickly, the mercenaries‘ eyes following them like hawks. Suddenly, a gunshot rang out. Already on edge, the mercenaries instinctively opened fire.
In the chaos, bullets aimed at Flora. She dodged quickly, but the next bullet hit the man’s throat. His eyes widened in shock as he died. Seeing their leader killed, the mercenaries thought Flora and her group had betrayed them. They had let them go, but now their leader was dead. Enraged, they went berserk, determined to avenge him, especially targeting Flora.
If it weren’t for that woman, their leader would still be alive!
Gunshots filled the air, and a fierce battle was about to erupt
“Everyone, get to cover!” the Enforcement Leader shouted. The group scattered.
Colton stayed by Flora’s side, fighting alongside her with perfect coordination. Lance, knowing his limits, hid and took shots at the mercenaries when they weren’t looking
The Enforcement Leader had just shot a man in front when he heard gunfire behind him. Turning, he saw a mercenary with a bullet in his forehead, still holding a gun aimed at him.
A cold sweat broke out on the Enforcement Leader’s back. He glanced at Flora, who had shot the mercenary, and felt a wave of relief. If it hadn’t been for Flora’s quick action, he would’ve been the one shot.
