The look in Brian's eyes turned dangerous. With inhuman speed, he leaned out of the window, turned towards the direction of the gunshot and pulled the trigger. The bullet rushed out of its barrel with a burst of blazing fire and sped squarely towards the incoming bullet from the sniper rifle. Almost simultaneously, he pulled the trigger again and shot at Lorence. The bullet zoomed like a comet cutting through the night sky.
All this happened in a split second, like a slow-motion movie. Brian's bullet collided into the sniper bullet accompanied by a little firework. And simultaneously, the driver swerved to dodge the other bullet and the screeching sound of the tires broke the silence of the night.
But the car managed to dodge the bullet with a single turn and they continued chasing Brian's car in a few seconds. Howard watched the two cars in front of him with a frown, but he wasn't too worried. They had arranged the most skillful driver to drive that car, considering he was transporting a sniper.
But to his surprise, there was another screech, followed by a thump. Before he could react, his driver had stepped on the brake. Howard watched as the car in front of him swerved, lost control and circled over and over before crashing through the fence of the bridge. It toppled over very quickly. Just as his car came to a full stop, there was a loud crash where the other car hit the ground.
No one had noticed that Brian had not only ricocheted back the sniper bullet, but also had changed its direction towards Lorence's car. The whole time, Brian watched as the bullet bounced back and hit the tire. His eyes were cold, with no concern for the dying enemies. He withdrew his pistol, looked straight ahead and said in a low, cold voice,"Just as expected."
"Mr. Brian Long, you have such good marksmanship. Is that what they call 'double shooting'? I wonder who's the best in double shooting- Mr. Long, Shawn, or you," Tony asked. He had never seen Richie or Shawn attempting a double shoot before. More precisely speaking, no one in XK Intelligence Agency had had the honor of seeing them in action. Thus, this particular skill called the 'double shooting' had long become something like a legend in the agency.
It was his first time seeing Mr. Brian Long do the double shooting for real. To avoid his father, Brian had spent quite a lot of time in Hell Forest with Shawn, and had learnt to shoot two targets with one bullet. Tony felt very lucky to have witnessed such a great move in action, and decided to brag about today's experience to Vincent, who would definitely be jealous.
Tony flashed a smile and stepped on the peddle. Right now, Howard had his hands full with rescuing his subordinates and didn't have enough time to chase them. Howard wouldn't have seen this coming. They obviously hadn't expected that Brian would be such a good shooter, and not to mention, their ambush went in vain.
"If you want to find the answer to that, you should ask Shawn, not me. I could pass on your request to Shawn and Richie." Brian removed the magazine and put the gun back under the seat. His tone was finally at ease and indifferent as usual.
