Chapter 133: Why Do You Have That?! (1/2)
”Y-You... You're a demon!”
”Why, thank you...?”
”Stop!”
A thunderous voice rang out from behind.
Charlotte abruptly turned her head to the source of the voice and found Calvin standing there with a solemn look on his face.
”Wha... What are you doing here?! They are going to kill you!”
”Then, am I supposed to just let you be killed by these bastards and let Cecilia live without her mother?”
Charlotte gnashed her teeth out of frustration.
”You must be the husband. How bold of you to come here by yourself.” The gentleman let out a slight smile.
Calvin fearlessly stared at the man and asked, ”Are you the leader of the Yellow River Gang?”
”Oh?” The gentleman looked to be astonished, ”You even know our name. Interesting, you must be capable since you came here alone so confidently.”
”What a joke... Your gang's basically all over the Northern Borough and you expect me not to know your gang?”
Calvin scoffed in derision.
The gentleman approached Calvin and stood in front of him.
The steel weapon in his hand looked familiar to Calvin, but he couldn't remember what it was for some reason. All that he knew was that there was something deep inside of him that was telling him that this weapon was dangerous and must never be underestimated.
The gentleman raised the steel weapon and pushed the still hot barrel of the weapon onto Calvin's chin, ”We may be popular, but we sure as hell ain't stupid as to reveal our base to an average joe out there. Now, tell me. Just how did you know the location of our base?”
Calvin coldly stared at the gentleman but he didn't say anything.
Charlotte grew anxious, ”Calvin! Run! Escape without me! You can still run! I know that you can do it!”
Calvin made a sidelong glance at Charlotte and he instantly became angry when he saw her bloodied face. He slightly shook his head and gestured to her that he was never escaping this place alone. It was them or these bastards.
”Are you saying that he can escape?” The gentleman lightly chuckled after staring at Calvin from top to bottom, ”If a cripple like him can escape from our hands so easily after being surrounded by us, then we might as well drown ourselves in the Revoir River!”
”Hahaha! Damn straight!”
The gentleman roared in defiance and the other man boisterously laughed. Indeed, every member of the Yellow River Gang was ruthless individuals and if given the order, they believed that they were capable of doing anything. What's more, Calvin was nothing but a cripple and he was also alone without anyone beside him.
To be honest, the gentleman or the leader of the Yellow River Gang could've ended his life earlier but he was so amused by the fact that Calvin came here by himself and basically sent himself to be killed that he decided to humor Calvin for a moment.
For him, Calvin was an incomparably stupid man, but nevertheless, amusing.
”No! Calvin, please! Go! Run! You must live! You're the only one that can tell my daughter that I love her!”
Charlotte was now crying.
The gangsters around her smirked and one of them even whispered, ”Oh, she has a daughter? I wonder how old is she?” A ruthless light flashed across his face and it didn't go unnoticed from Calvin's eyes. Calvin saw the gangster's face on his peripheral vision and he made a mental note.
Shaking his head, he replied to Charlotte, ”I cannot escape. This guy's already made up his mind ten minutes ago.”
His expression was so calm and his tone of voice was so languid that Charlotte couldn't believe what she was hearing.
”Then, why did you even come here?!”
”Of course, I'm planning on saving you.” Calvin almost immediately replied.
But his casual reply silenced everyone in the area before they all erupted into boisterous laughter.
”Hahaha!”
”Holy shit, I like this lunatic!”
”Just what did he say? He said that he's going to save her, right under our noses? Hahaha!”
The gentleman smirked and moved to pat Calvin's shoulders, ”All right, all right... You came to save her, right? Then, you are a man of my hour. Tell me just how exactly you are planning on saving her under our watch with just you alone? Come on, tell me. I really want to know.”
The gentleman acted as if he was Calvin's best friend.
The steel weapon in his hand hang beside Calvin's crippled arm but in the very next moment. Calvin made his move.
He captured the gentleman's wrist, twisted it, and snatched the steel weapon from the gentleman's hand before pulling the trigger.
Bang!
A thunderous explosion rang out.
The bullet from the steel weapon pierced a hole through the gentleman's forehead and his face was now forever frozen in disbelief. He couldn't believe what just happened. One moment he was smirking, but the next moment his face became frozen in confusion and astonishment.
Everything happened so fast that by the time that other gangsters reacted and rushed Calvin with knives and wooden bats, he had unloaded everything from the magazine of the steel weapon onto the foreheads of the gangsters. Of course, he soon ran out of bullets, and soon he was overwhelmed by the sheer number of gangsters rushing up to him.
”How dare... How dare this bastard...”
”How dare this bastard kill the leader!”
”Kill him!”
The gangsters' eyes went bloodshot as they collectively let out a shout.
But before they could finish the injured Calvin, the doors of the warehouse opened and Ashlynn along with Bruce stormed in.
Their eyes glowing with distinctive lights as they unleashed their wrath over the gangsters.
The gangsters almost immediately scrambled for their lives. Bruce swept his gaze across the area and discovered that the place was littered with drug paraphernalia and instruments for the creation of illegal addictive drugs forbidden by the three Judiciaries belonging to the Church of the Three Orthodox Gods.
A hardened look appeared on Bruce's face.
He had decided to veto out the death sentence for each and every gangster in the warehouse.
”None shall leave...”
”Collapse!”
Bruce slammed his knuckle dusters downwards and the ground where the gangsters were standing almost immediately caved in and collapsed. After their screams, silence ensued and the chaos was suppressed. Ashlynn turned to look at Bruce with a bitter smile and said, ”You didn't even give me a chance to warm up...”
”Ah...”
