Chapter 353 - Misunderstanding (2) (1/2)

Ugh, the situation was really bad right now, Nicolae thought. Mischa turned the tables and caused the situation to be increasingly unbalanced by involving a gun. Nicolae never carried a weapon with him, except for his Swiss Knives, even though some of his friends insisted that he should start protecting himself more seriously.

His physical strength had been enough to keep him safe all this time, even when met thugs with firearms. However, he never dealt with professional assassin like Mischa before, who was physically as strong as him and carried a gun, and now Nicolae regretted not listening to his friends.

”I don't have time to play with you ...” said Mischa while wiping the blood from the corner of his lips. He glanced at the injured Takeshi, then at Nicolae's sports car, trying to see if Aleksis was inside.

Nicolae followed the direction of Mischa's eyes on his car.

”Ah ... Aleksis ...” he muttered. He immediately remembered that Aleksis' safety was still at stake if he did not get rid of this opponent in front of him. Without thinking, he pulled his Swiss Knives from his back pocket, opened the knives set and threw it at Mischa to get rid of the gun.

Mischa was faster, he had pulled the trigger while trying to avoid Nicolae's knife throw, but the knife managed to hit his hand just half a second after the bullet was fired.

”Aaghhh ... !!”

There was a cry of pain from both men. Mischa dropped the gun he was holding and held his injured right hand which was covered in blood, while Nicolae, who did not have time to avoid the shot, got wounded on his left shoulder.

Aleksis, who was waiting in the car and could not contain her stress, was very shocked to hear the sound of a gunshot. She did not see Nicolae carrying a gun earlier, so that only meant that the criminal, who was about to kidnap her, was the one who had fired earlier ...

Who was shot ...? Was ... was Nicolae shot? Was he dead ... ???

Aleksis saw the car keys hanging in the car and remembered Nicolae's message to escape and look for help if anything happened to him ...

But how could Aleksis run away and leave someone who had fought hard to help her?

Oh God ... if only her bodyguards were here ... If Lauriel were here ... If Alaric were here with her....

Aleksis cried thinking about those people ... They must be very worried.

She wiped her eyes that were wet with tears and made up her mind to try to get the criminals to talk and offer them a huge amount of money to let her and Nicolae go ...

”Nico ... !! Are you all right?” She got out of the car and immediately ran towards Nicolae who was holding his bloody shoulder.

”Aleksis!! Stay in the car!” exclaimed Nicolae in a painful voice.

”Miss, are you okay???!!” Mischa exclaimed in a relieved voice.

The two of them talked at the same time, and when they heard each other's sentences, Nicolae and Mischa stared at each other in surprise.

”You … ??”

”Who are you?!”
