Chapter 443 - Four Hundred And Forty-three: They Were Finally Saved (2/2)

For the time ever, Isabella had no clue what he was saying and was about to ask for details when it clicked in her head - she had previously asked if he had a family around their - the kids - age. Isabella boomed a smile at him, he was on their side.

The other guy being harassed by Mr Smuff was finally roused from his ”melodrama” when his partner fell to the ground and died. His eyes widened and turned to Jean, unbelieving, ”H-how could you?”

And then, as if a scale was finally taken off his eyes, the pissed-off hitman went into full business mode. He reached out from behind and caught Mr. Smuff, who attempted to escape once again but was unable to under the man's tight grip.

With a curse unsuitable for kids age, the man bought out his gun and fired it straight at the damn thing, blasting its head off.

”No!!” Neon shrieked, unable to save his mouse on time. The boy, froze for a minute dramatically - which was actually a few seconds in reality - unable to process what just happened, and then fell on his knees.

”Mr. Smuff,” his lips quivered, watching as his mouse's lifeless body dangled from the killer's hand.

A cruel smile curved the hitman's mouth - he enjoyed the boy's misery. Then he tossed the gory mouse away and proceeded to finish what he started. Jean betrayed them, he had to pay with his life with these fools.

At that same time, Miguel's eyes grew wide when he saw Jean, his contracted killer, murder his partner. Ever since Reina made that atrocious offer of buying him over, he had a niggling feeling that the asshole would betray him but he had pushed the thought to the back of his mind. Now, he ignored his instinct and got bitten by his dog gone rabid.

Knowing the only solution to this problem was to end Jean, he kicked that annoying wife of Niklaus out of his way and picked up his gun. He was done joking around, it was time for business.

As if Isabella and Jean shared a tactile understanding, they realized that things were about to get ugly and worked in harmony.

Jean tossed a gun to her which she caught and both exchanged their position; Isabella shot at Miguel who had less experience with guns; Jean shot at his on par partner who was a ruthless killer.

Isabella didn't go for the instant kill even though she could end him, she deliberately shot at his hand grabbing the gun, which fell and then his ankles, forcing him to plonk to the ground. Miguel let out a cry of agony. Unlike Jean who shot his partner right at the head and the man fell at once.

However, almost immediately, men on uniform, geared to the teeth with ammunition rushed into the room and Isabella let the gun fall from her hand as she raised her hand in surrender. But then breathe in relief when Judy strode in.

Thank God, they were safe at last.
