In that moment, everyone's heart felt like it was about to leap out of their chests. Diana’s scream was gut-wrenching, like she was on the brink of death. Faith and Juztin were just as stunned. Their car wasn't far from Connor, but even with the pedal to the metal, they knew they wouldn’t make it in time.
The lion, as massive as a mountain, leaped through the air, its entire body aimed at Connor. Its front paws, sharp as steel blades, were already out. An enraged roar echoed across the vast savannah, its fangs still stained with the blood and flesh of its last prey, making it look even more terrifying.
With nothing standing between them, the lion charged straight at Connor. Suddenly, a gunshot pierced the sky.
Bang—Bang—Bang—Bang—Bang—
Five rapid shots rang out. Each sharp and decisive report was followed by a massive body hitting the ground. The lion that had been lunging at Connor took a bullet to the forehead and collapsed like a sack of rocks onto Connor's car, nearly crushing it.
In just seconds, the lions that had been surrounding him, chasing, biting, and going berserk, were now all lying on the ground. Nearly all were shot in the eyes or brain. Some were still alive but too wounded to attack, just lying there, gasping for their last breaths.
Everyone was in shock. Faith, her mouth wide open, turned to Juztin, "Was... was it Chloe who fired those shots?"
Juztin, still reeling, nodded vigorously, "Chloe, that was insanely fierce."
Diana stood there, dumbfounded, tears streaming down her face, still trying to process what had just happened.
At that moment, Pax watched Chloe, who was holding onto the car door with one hand, her whole body hanging outside, golden gun in hand. His face was full of admiration. Chloe had been telling him to drive closer all along and then suddenly drew her gun and opened the car door. The car was speeding, and the lions weren’t stationary either, but Chloe fired shot after shot, each one hitting its mark.
Her decisive and majestic stance while shooting made Pax feel like she was glowing with a golden light. She was unbelievably cool.
