Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 452

452 Trouble at the party (6) 

“What are you doing here?” Maverick asked. 1 

“I am hiding. The hotel management is in on it. They wanted to kill me, so a friend told me and I ran here to hide, knowing here is a lot safer.” 

Maverick looked around the sitting room. It was a luxurious one. So he instructed, “find somewhere to hide and turn off the lights.” 

After he said that, the lady ran into the inner room and turned off the lights. 

Once Maverick was alone in the sitting room, he turned off the lights and went to hide at a place he could blend with the darkness. 

A short while later, he heard the lock on the door beeping. In no time, the door was pushed open. From the light in the passage, he could see a man, probably the manager of the hotel standing aside and allowing the Xu men into the room. 

“Turn the lights on.” 

However, just when someone was about to do so; 

“Pew pew…” 

“Crash!” 

“Whack!” 

The sounds of two people falling against objects reverberated softly in the room. 

“Bang!” 

“Bang! 

“Bang…!” 

The Xu men started firing bullets in every direction of the room. The room was dark after the door was closed. Also, the guards were caught off guard, so they didn’t pay attention to where the bullet 

came from. 

While they were shooting without proper direction, Maverick took the opportunity to use their bullet sounds as cover for his shooting. 

“Pew, pew, pew, pew!” 

Three to four people went down again. It was at this moment that one of the Xu men shot a bullet into where Maverick was hiding. At the same time, he turned on the light and saw Maverick standing right in front of them, beside the window! 

The Xu men had two men left, with their guns pointed at Maverick, who was holding his side. His hand was stained with blood, a dead giveaway that he was shot. 

“Alpha Chaos, don’t make things difficult. Move!” one of the men said. 

Maverick said nothing and just watched them get closer. He had exhausted the bullets in the silent pistol, so he threw it aside. Seeing that he had resigned himself to his fate, the men didn’t let their 

guards down. This is Alpha Chaos anyway. 

One of them pointed his gun at him, while the other secured his gun on his waist and took off his tie to secure Maverick’s hands behind his back. However, just when the man got close enough, with one swift move, Maverick wrapped his arm around his neck. He was choking the guy, at the same time, using him as a cover. 

The other one with the gun didn’t want to kill his second but Maverick was killing him as he held him in a chokehold! What should he do?! 

He didn’t want to kill Maverick but send him to Davis. But as it is right now, if he doesn’t kill Maverick, the madman might kill him. With that thought in mind, the guy focused his aim at Maverick’s head but before he could pull the trigger, Maverick shot his leg with the gun he stole from the guy he was choking. 

“Bang!” 

“Argh!” 

The guy instinctively lowered his upper body, probably to touch his hurting leg. With such a marvellous opportunity in place, Maverick let another bullet fly out of his gun and hit the guy squarely in the throat. Once that one was dead, Maverick pushed the one he was holding away, however, before the guy could stabilize himself, Maverick shot him in the eye. 

Immediately after he killed the last one, Maverick fell on a couch and groaned. He lowered his eyes to the side of his stomach that was bleeding. At that moment, the staff member ran out of the inner room. She looked horrified at the scene in the room. Dead bodies and… 

She caught the pain in between Maverick’s brows and immediately hurried to him. “Alpha Chaos, you’re wounded!” she knelt in front of him. “Le–let me stop the bleeding,” she offered. 

Maverick was in serious pain. First of all, after he was shot, he didn’t try to take out the bullet and used too much strength to keep that guy at bay. Now he had strained himself. 

Seeing that he didn’t respond, the staff lady thought it was a silent agreement, so she started to unbutton his Xu shirt. However, before she could open the last button, the door was forcefully pushed open and a Xu guy stood in the entrance. The second Maverick saw the guy raise his gun, he immediately pushed the lady out of the way; 

“Bang!” 

“Argh!” Maverick groaned with gritted teeth as the bullet flew into his chest, just beside his heart. “Tsk.tsk.tsk… Alpha Chaos, indeed you are very capable, I must confess.” Davis‘ voice drifted into the room before his aesthetic was seen.
