Chapter 532 - Five Hundred And Thirty-Three: You Must Be An Alien (1/2)

The third point of view:

Sweat trickling down their faces.

Body positioned and taut.

Eyes focused on targets.

Hands curled around the trigger, ready to fire.

That was how tense everyone was as Niklaus and George had a face-off. All of them present knew only one possible way this situation could turn out and that was ”disastrous” yet none of them backed away. This was what they were employed for, was paid for. They are warriors in the face of battle.

”Where is my grandson?” George asked once again, his voice almost a growl, and spoke of ferocity. He was at the edge of losing.

One couldn't imagine how happy the man was when he got information that his grandkid's location had been discovered. But that jubilation was short-lived when he heard Niklaus had taken the boy hostage.

He would have arrived that night but had spent it gathering his forces knowing he had time - Niklaus wouldn't hurt Julie, he wouldn't dare to. However, since Niklaus wanted a war, he brought one to his doorstep.

”Why?” Niklaus sneered at him, ”Are you going to have them fire those guns at me if I don't tell you?”

”Don't test my patience!” George warned him.

”Alright, stop it both of you!” Someone emerged from behind and Niklaus wasn't surprised to see his wife Reina, striding over to them with fury.

”Stop it this instant!” She boomed, her eyes shooting molten fire as she got in between the both of them.

”What do you think you're doing?” Reina whipped towards her husband, glaring at him.

”I - I” Niklaus was suddenly out of words to say, especially when facing this rare, furious side of Reina. She looked like a goddess of war with her arms akimbo and her eyes narrowed in tension. All that was missing was for Reina to wear her personalized armor, indestructible bracelets, projectile tiara, sword, shield, and the lasso of truth, then her Wonder Woman look would be completed - thankfully for him, she couldn't read his thoughts.

”Your job is to welcome our guest and make him feel comfortable, yet here you are, starting a war with one. Is that it?”

”No, I didn't mean it that way,” Niklaus said, dropping his gaze like a kid who was caught doing bad.

”Now, put down your guns,”

”What?”

Even Niklaus was shaken by that order, not to talk of his men who were hesitant, and looked between both couples, wondering whom to obey without getting their heads cut off. Even George watched the scene amused, it seems that Niklaus wasn't as strong as they thought when it came to his wife.

”Do as your Madam says,” Niklaus ordered his men when he sensed their reluctance.

And just like that, they brought down their guns even though their opponents still had their's pointed at them - which was dangerous. Niklaus knew they would be all dead if George issued an order.

Satisfied with their cooperation, Reina turned around to face George who was somehow stunned by the fire in her eyes. She was a warrior woman.
