"Sir..." Mark suddenly spoke. He stared at Brian with his round clear eyes. He looked very innocent. "Sir, mommy's arm is bleeding..."
Molly was so tensed that she had no idea when she got her arm cut. She didn't even realize it was bleeding until Mark pointed it out. Thus, it was only now that she began to feel the pain.
Brian glanced at Molly and anger flashed in his dark eyes. He remained silent. Hearing Mark call him 'sir' instead of 'daddy' made him a little annoyed.
Molly gave him a stern look and thought to herself, 'Fine, Brian. Just leave me alone and let me bleed to death.'
Silence occupied the place again as everyone waited for Culpeo. The children had already been scared to death and just huddled together on the floor. They were shivering with fear, not even realizing that Brian was only about to save Molly and Mark.
The teacher's eyes were filled with tears. She looked pleadingly at Brian, who didn't even glance at her.
Unconscious because of the anesthetic, Culpeo was carried over by Vincent and a staff of XK Intelligence Agency. Vincent's eyes instantly flashed as soon as he saw Brian. However, his eyebrows were furrowed quickly as soon as he saw Molly and Mark.
"Boss..." Anger showed in the kidnapper's eyes as he stared at Culpeo, who was too weak to stand on his own. "What did you do to him?"
"Nothing," Edgar replied casually. "Just some anesthesia..."
Bang!
Edgar suddenly pulled the trigger before he finished his words and shot the kidnapper next to him. As the bullet hit the kidnapper's chest, Brian and Molly took actions simultaneously. Brian rushed towards the kidnapper before him and shoot him as the staffs took the teacher away to safety.
The kidnapper before Molly was distracted by Vincent, who was about to take Culpeo to him. That was when Molly suddenly kicked his hand as hard as she could. The detonator flew out. However, the kidnapper immediately realized what was going on and tried to stab at Molly with a dagger coming out of nowhere. Molly's eyes widened but didn't dodge it! Instead, she threw herself forward in order to catch the detonator.
"Mol!" Brian shouted.
"Molly!" It seemed that Edgar didn't expect it as well.
Even Mark sprang to his feet upon seeing what happened. "Mommy!"
As yells and shouts filled the room, a shot was heard. A bullet was put right between the kidnapper's eyes and he lost his grip on the dagger. Thus, it stabbed straight at Molly's back.
Molly fell heavily on the floor with a bang. Relieved, she stared at the detonator in her hand and a smile crept into her cheek. As Brian, Edgar, and even Mark rushed towards her, Molly's eyes gradually became unfocused. Staring at Brian, she gasped, "Brian, my back hurts a little..."
Grim-faced, Brian carefully moved her a bit to check the wound in her back. Part of the blade could still be seen as the wound was not very deep. Brian gritted his teeth. "I'll take you to hospital."
As he swiftly carried her in his arms, Brian saw that Molly furrowed her eyebrows as if she was fighting the pain. Anger and worry had filled him. How could she do that! Why was she throwing her life away? He couldn't believe how reckless she was!
Edgar gazed at Brian's retreating figure and didn't withdraw it until some noise came from his wireless earphone. He then demanded, "We need the bomb squad in here. Others should take the children to safety as soon as possible. And no one is allowed to remain here except the bomb squad."
Culpeo, who had been carried over here in a hurry, almost made no difference to the situation and was taken away again by the police commandos. The bomb squad began to work on the bomb and other people began to retreat as well.
Three miles away, the media had been waiting anxiously for the updates. Some of them who had connections and had come to know a little bit about the situation inside began to report the news. In the meantime, Tony was driving fast along the road towards the private hospital of the Dragon Empire Group.
Mark was sitting in Vincent's car which was following behind Tony's. With his eyebrows furrowed and fists clenched, Mark asked Vincent worriedly, "Vincent, mommy will be alright, won't she? "
