Chapter 86: Gun VS Sword (1/2)

The sound of the Bullet leaving the gun rang out through the room. The girls closed their eyes as they were too afraid to see what had happened to Novis.

”What was he thinking going up against a gun,” They thought.

The only people who were able to witness what Novis had done were Tony, Dan and Rob himself.

As soon as Arthur took a step forward, Rob had pulled the trigger, the bullet flew out and almost at the exact same time, Arthur swung the metal pipe but something was strange.

There was no clang sound of metal going against metal as one would expect. Instead, the bullet simply dropped right in front of Arthur.

The bullet then rolled across the ground and moved towards Rob. Rob was unable to comprehend what had just happened. It was the first time something like this had happened to him. He could understand if he had simply missed the shot, even if the bullet had hit the pipe.

But what everyone had witnessed was supernatural. Arthur had swung the pipe just before the bullet had even reached him, causing the bullet to fall mid air.

”I don't know what you did but it won't work again!” Rob shouted as he pulled the trigger multiple times.

Every time Rob pulled the trigger Arthur would swing in response and before the bullets could even reach him, they would fall to the ground. This was because Arthur was using sword energy. Sword energy was almost like an invisible force and it worked that way too. Arthur would swing the pipe to create a wave of sword energy that would stop the bullet in its tracks.

It was simple, the energy created from Arthur's swing was far greater than the energy created from the bullet.

Eventually, Rob pulled the trigger once more and all that could be heard was the sound of clicking.

He had run out of bullets. Rob then looked to his left were Scarlett was in her chair and pulled out the knife he had earlier. Arthur and George could see what Rob was planning.

”Switch!” George shouted.

Instantly Arthur and George had switched places and a second later before Rob could even reach Scarlett, George had leapt across the room and was inches away from Rob's face.

George wasn't going to hold back and decided to hit Rob from the chin up with the pipe, with just enough force so he wouldn't die but might have other serious implications.

As soon as Rob's body hit the floor and was knocked out, George gave control back to Novis.

”Wait there's one more,” Novis said looking at Tony who was leaning against the wall.

”Don't worry, I have a feeling he isn't going to do anything to you guys.”

Ashley then quickly moved over to Scarlett and helped untie her from the chair. Ashley was surprised that Tony wasn't moving from where he was.

In truth, Tony was replaying in his head what he had just seen Novis do. He couldn't believe that a human being was actually able to stop bullets. It was clear that even if Tony wanted to stop them from leaving, he wouldn't be able to.

”What do we do about these people, should we go to the police?” Ashley asked.

Scarlett was currently trying to unsettle her nerves and take in everything that had just happened to her.

”You guys just go.” Tony said, ”I will take care of this, just make sure she's okay and tell her I'm sorry.”

Ashley didn't care for the man's apology. Clearly, he was a bad person to be even in this type of business in the first place but all she knew was he was letting them leave and so they did.
