Chapter 553 - COUNT TO TEN (2/2)

The girl did not dare take offence at the insults made by Bonnie. She took a deep breath and counted to ten. She aimed the camera at the two calm people in the restaurant. She felt envious of their relationship and confidence, even in a dire situation.

She started counting to ten again. That woman might be crazy, but she was right. It did help alleviate her fear and shaking. Surviving for ten seconds was not too hard.

Kaito pulled a chair for Akira to sit down. He looked at her face. She did not look distressed or even afraid of the current situation. Nothing about the threats from Bonnie and Clyde even caused her heart rate to accelerate.

However, Kaito could not help but worry.

He had already made a decision in his heart. He hoped that things would not get there. But if push came to shove, he would only need to disregard the lives of the people in the restaurant and save his wife and unborn child.

In an ideal situation, he would like to ensure that everyone, apart from the anxious young man who was already dead, got out safely.

But the real world was not like a perfect movie. Sometimes, one had to make the best decision to match their situation and their conscience.

He was sure that he could protect Akira. He would probably sustain some injuries, but he could even kill Bonnie and Clyde. But it would not be without a lot of collateral damage.

He had looked into their eyes when they started broadcasting themselves on Watch. They did not plan on getting out alive. They planned on leaving the world in the most dramatic and memorable way possible.

Therefore, they would not stand still and wait for him to kill them.

”You do not have to play their game. We can get out of here.” Kaito said while checking on Akira's condition while on one knee in front of her.

”I know. It is a little interesting. Plus, there is no harm in trying to save a few people.” Akira said while tapping on her phone. ”Think of a way for us to take them out without killing them. Right now, there are too many eyes on us. It would be better if we could take them in alive.”

She spoke in a low tone, making it impossible for people around apart from Kaito to hear. They looked intimate as they discussed their predicament.

”I can try for non-lethal injuries, but I am not sure of the success rate,” Kaito replied.

”Do not push yourself too much. We will just try to save any person we can, but our family comes first.” Akira said as she continued tapping on the phone in her hand. She had never been happier about this phone that Zhong Feng gifted her.

”Alright.” Kaito stood and kissed her head lightly.

When he turned, he found a chopper flying from the Crystal Plaza to the Floating Pavilion. It seemed like the CAB was finally taking notice of the warning given by Akira. But they sure had taken their sweet time to respond.

Kaito sighed at the inefficiency of the government.
