Chapter 252 - War (Part-3) (1/2)

Complete darkness had enveloped inside the house. Men wore dark adaptor goggles on their eyes to scan the interior of the house.

Everything seemed to be properly arranged inside the house as if no one had been living here and that was very unusual.

And yes, they were right because in the next moment,

'Bang!'

'Bang!'

'Bang!'

'Bang!'

On the spur of the moment, the firing started from above. It seemed that Xin Chao and others decided to be loyal towards Markus till the end.

The men in the down were quick enough to hide and shoot back.

'Bang!'

'Bang!'

'Bang!'

In the quiet jungle, the sound of gunshots was echoing but ended up being muffled by the thick foliage of the forest trees such that the outside world didn't know that war had begun in the deep center of the forest.

Many men were dying, some were getting shot on their bodies but still, they continued to fight back. The smell of blood and bullets escalated.

”We need to go up.” Mo Jiang said because being at a lower elevation than their enemies, brought his team a disadvantage.

Mo Jiang had a higher number of men compared to Markus which put him in the lead position to win against Markus but seeing the rate at which his men had been dying, the situation could be changed.

Thus, before it was too late, Mo Jiang immediately made a decision but the problem was that the stairs were far away and there was nothing around which they could hide behind.

”I will cover up for you.” Liu Juan was prompted to help as she also understood their disadvantaged position.

Michael was on the other side, so he couldn't help.

”No, I will cover up for you.” Mo Jiang said after a thought which perturbed Liu Juan as who would cover-up, there was a high chance that he/she would die.

”But...” Of course, she couldn't agree with his suggestion but Mo Jiang didn't give her a chance to protest.

”It's my order. Do it as I say.” Mo Jiang commanded and instantly stood up in front of Liu Juan.

The men above saw Mo Jiang and started firing towards him.

Liu Juan was smart enough and didn't risk Mo Jiang's life in the argument. She immediately stood up and scuttled off.

Mo Jiang was following after her and firing back so that no bullet passed through him towards Liu Juan.

Fortunately, Si Li's men were shrewd enough to stand up to cover Mo Jiang up. He was the leader and partner of their boss, Si Li, so it was their duty to protect Mo Jiang even if no one had given an order to them.
