Chapter 298: THE ATTACK (3)
The noises outside the door of this small boardroom grew louder and louder and it seemed that the fragile door would not last long, not even until the lights returned.
Impatient and running out of time, they tried to force their way in by breaking the door lock, by shooting it.
A few gunshots rang just a moment before Ramon hung up on his cell phone when he called Hailee. It was certain that his wife had heard the noises and it worried him that Hailee would start to panic and think the worst…
But, now, there was something much more urgent that Ramon had to do.
"You won\'t be able to escape from here," Leon said with a chuckle because he believed he had cornered Ramon.
On the other hand, hearing those words, Ramon was completely unaffected, instead he walked over to Leon and quickly threw a fist into his face and two kicks to his stomach until the middle aged man collapsed on the floor and coughed, hugging his chest, sick and difficult to breathe.
Pain radiated through Leon\'s body at the unexpected attack from Ramon, because after all, he couldn\'t see clearly in this dark space.
However, before Leon could utter any swear words or put up any resistance, Ramon had grabbed his collar and forced him to stand up, then a cold object stuck to his temple.
For someone like Leon, it only took him a fraction of a second to guess what it was.
It\'s a gun. Ramon was pointing a gun to his head. This was the unexpected part that Leon had not thought of.
"You want to kill me?" Leon asked breathlessly, after his coughs subsided. Looks like he got a broken rib.
Ramon didn\'t answer his question, because his focus was on the door that was about to open. From the gap under the door, Ramon could see the light from the torches they were carrying.
"You\'ll see the agony that…" Leon didn\'t finish his sentence when Ramon shot one of his legs, but forced him to stand still.
"I told you to be quiet," said Ramon coldly, ignoring Leon\'s roar of pain. This time he pointed his gun at the door, waiting for the first person to enter.
And in the next second, the door collapsed, and gunshots could be heard, followed by more gunshots.
================
In front of the gates of the Tordoff residence, there were about ten cars lined up, blocking the exit, but of course they couldn\'t get in because the gate was locked and couldn\'t be opened easily, just by crashing it.
"Prepare for gunfire," Pyro said through the earpiece in his ear. Then he turned back and looked at Hailee, trying to calm her down. "It\'s okay Mrs. Tordoff, this problem will be resolved soon," he said.
Meanwhile, Hailee didn\'t know how to respond to Pyro\'s words, so she just nodded, hugging her stomach.
Hailee kept muttering words; calm down, everything will be fine, soon you will meet Ramon. Calm down, everything will be fine, soon you will meet Ramon...
She mumbled those words over and over again to relax herself and not panic, but of course she couldn\'t fool her own feelings just by repeating those words.
Because what Hailee saw before her eyes was far from \'calming\', especially when she noticed what happened next…
Two guards walked past the gates and approached the cars, shouting something. Hailee couldn\'t hear what they were saying, because her car was blocked by the two cars in front of her, but that didn\'t prevent her from seeing the two people and a man in black getting out of the car.
The conversation didn\'t last long, because the man who got out of the car quickly pulled out his gun and shot one of the guards who were approaching him, while the other guard resisted, but unfortunately his shot missed and a man from a different car shot him down.
It happened so quickly and it was so hard to believe it had happened, that Hailee had a hard time processing it all.
What happened was an unexpected event, which Hailee thought would only happen in the world of her imagination. Like a scene of violence in every movie she\'s seen...
However, all of this was happening for real and Hailee could even see the blood oozing from the gunshot wounds of the two guards, in the light of the car headlights.
"Oh, shit!" Pyro cursed. "Retreat!" he called into the earpiece in his ear. "Call all units to come to the main gate!"
A commotion broke out and the deafening sounds of the cars roaring filled the night, while the car Hailee was in, prepared to take her back into the house.
Only, a loud sound hit the side of the vehicle, followed by another sound, like being hit by a barrage of bullets, or maybe that was what happened.
Hailee screamed loudly, she curled up in the back seat, trying to protect herself and prepare herself to feel the pain she would receive if one of the bullets penetrated any part of her body.
"Mrs. Tordoff, it\'s all right. It does not matter. This car is bulletproof, that\'s okay," Pyro\'s faint voice tried to calm her down as the car they were in drove away from the shooting area, leaving the other cars to deal with the intruders.
Yes, almost all cars owned by Ramon are bulletproof, especially the cars used by the Tordoff family members, so it is certain that the car Hailee is traveling in has the same durability, making everyone in it fine under the hail of bullets.
Slowly, Hailee opened her eyes and looked around her with a worried look and trembling body.
"Mrs. Tordoff, are you alright? Are you hurt?" Pyro asked worriedly, while another bodyguard drove the car back to Ramon\'s residence.
Of course Hailee wasn\'t fine, she was having a hard time stopping her trembling body and neutralizing her fast beating heart, but Hailee nodded in response.
Seeing that Hailee seemed to be still able to communicate, which indicated that her condition was still fairly good according to Pyro, he then continued his order quickly through the earpiece on his ear.
Hailee bit her nails, her habit when she was panicking. Her breath was ragged and her head was a little dizzy…
Looks like it\'s going to be a long night.
