Spencer narrowed his eyes. Just when he was about to say something, Thalia stepped forward and grabbed him.
“We must leave before they rush in.” While saying that, she looked at him. “When the door opens later, I'll cover you. You go first.”
At that, Spencer's brows furrowed. “Thalia, I am a man. But I'm not one who needs your protection.”
Thalia held his gaze, her expression serious. “That's not what I meant. It's just that our professions are different.”
“You analyze things by profession, but I do so by relationship. At this moment, I should be the one to protect you,” Spencer enunciated, his pride tolerating no challenge.
Just as Thalia was about to argue, Alexia, who was beside them, interrupted anxiously, “Can you two please stop your public display of affection at such a time? If this continues, they'll be here. Then, none of us will be able to leave!”
Upon hearing that, Thalia was taken aback. Then, she turned to Spencer. “In terms of experience, I'm the more seasoned one. You should listen to me, Spencer.”
Spencer's rationality was still intact. Staring back at her, he said, “I can listen to you, but I will never leave you behind and leave first!”
Thalia knew there was no time to waste. She immediately grabbed him and headed toward the side of the door.
With a glance, Alexia understood her intention and walked toward the other side of the door.
The other party rammed the door with their vehicle. Once the door broke, they would be directly in line with their targets. At that time, they would take out the men who rushed in, taking the opportunity to carve out a bloody path for themselves.
Right then, all three of them were holding guns in their hands.
Under the car's repeated collision, the door appeared to be struggling to hold up in no time.
At that precise moment, Thalia suddenly reached into her pocket and pulled out a hand grenade. She bit off the pin with her teeth, her gaze fixed intently on the door.
Bang! Bang!
The car continued to ram against the door.
The trio stared at it unblinkingly.
Just then, a loud bang rang out. The door was instantly smashed open, the tables and shelves blocking it directly flattened by the car.
The car barreled in first, followed by a surge of men pouring in from behind.
By then, Alexia and Spencer had already raised their guns and started shooting at them.
Bang! Bang!
The three of them swiftly took out the incoming men one by one.
Seeing the men collapse to the ground, Thalia urged, “Let's go!”
They headed straight for the door.
At that exact moment, the person in the vehicle suddenly got out and raised a machine gun to spray bullets at them.
However, before he could open fire, Spencer had already taken him out with a single shot.
Seeing that, Thalia turned to look at Spencer with a touch of surprise on her face.
“Why, you're surprised?” Spencer asked.
In response, Thalia flashed him a grin. “No, I just find the man I like incredibly handsome.”
At her praise, Spencer couldn't help the smile blooming on his face. Just then, he suddenly looked up. “Watch out.”
Pulling Thalia behind him, he fired several shots ahead.
The man fell, but more people continued to rush in through the door. The enemy had already locked onto their location, which was very disadvantageous for them.
Just then, Thalia looked over and abruptly shouted, “Watch out, Alexia!” After saying that, she tossed the hand grenade in her hand out upon seeing that the crowd had grown.
At the same time, Spencer scooped her up and hunkered down at the side.
Following a loud bang, the men at the door were all blasted away.
Thalia glanced back over her shoulder. “It's time.” While saying that, she called out, “Let's go!”
