Chapter 77 - The Leadership (3) (2/2)

”Fuck!”

He cursed, couldn't forgive himself how careless to forget to think that Bruno might be prepared to welcome him like this. Bernardo hid behind the big pole, shooting at the target and never missed and wasted his bullets. His eyes saw his men got hit as well.

His handsome face was tough, his eyes were full of wrath. Normally, Bernardo did not kill if not necessary. But this time, he would have to!

The bastard Bruno determined to take his life definitely. While at first Bernardo came here just to teach the asshole good and expensive lessons, intending to suffer him instead of killing because death was too quick and too good for the bad low-moral-animal like Bruno.

The firing continued nonstop. Bernardo's brain was thinking hard while firing fast. If the dickhead Bruno had prepared like this it meant Bernardo and his men were disadvantageous. He should evade now because it was not worth taking his men to die like this.

Suddenly, the sound of the fire burst at the entrance ...

”Son of the bitch!” Bernardo cursed. This was too much. Bruno didn't care to burn his own pub down just to kill him! Fucking asshole!

”Everyone, out! Now!”

Bernardo immediately shouted to order his bodyguards. The ammunition from Bruno's men had subsided. Indicating that the arson attack was the last tactic Bruno used and they were eluding out of the pub, letting Bernardo to get burned inside! That was Bruno's plan!

”Murphy, get everyone, our injured men, take them out quick!” Bernardo commanded his close man who didn't leave his side.

”What about you, boss?” Murphy shouted back. Everyone understood the situation and obeyed, so they rushed outside.

”Don't worry about me. Help them out quick! Tyson, prepare the car waiting for me. I'll follow. ”

Bernardo ordered his bodyguards through the communication device. After ordering, he moved further inside. Bernardo saw Bruno's followers ran to the back of the pub. The smoke and the flames quickly spread. Murphy hesitated but then decide to obey his boss. There were a few friends being shot. Everyone heard the boss's command and obeyed to run out. They knew their disadvantage and to save their lives was the smartest thing to do.

Murphy was outside and looked back to the front door of the pub, the blazing fire was like red monster cover the whole front. He was worried about the boss, but however, Murphy's instincts knew that the boss could take care of himself and would survive. His duty was to help his friends as his boss ordered. To let the injured friends lay burned to death, the boss would be mad and Murphy couldn't let that happen.

Bernardo turned to look at the entrance. The last henchman ran out. The fire engulfed and raged madly. Looking at it, he knew immediately that he could no longer go out that way. Also, firefighters must be informed by good citizens, including the police, probably they were on the way and would be arriving soon. He would have to find another way to get out of the burning pub.

His body felt the heat of the fire. He rushed to the bar counter, moistened his handkerchief with water and then covered it on his face. Bernardo was certain there was another way to get out of here. He saw Bruno's men ran inside and disappeared. His brain was thinking hard while his feet were running quickly to the back door which he hardly saw through the thick smoke!
