The next instant, the two assassins dashed toward Nathan, flanking him in a pincer movement.
Nathan snorted as he mocked, "Amateurs!"
He lifted his legs and he kicked out. With two loud thuds, his feet hit Noir and Blanc in the chest. Immediately, blood sprayed from the two assassin's mouths as they flew backward like puppets that had their strings cut. They crashed to the ground by Gabriel's feet, coughing out one last mouthful of blood with their necks fell to the side limply.
They were dead.
What?
Gabriel and all three hundred of his men were stunned as they stared in disbelief at the corpses.
The two merciless killers, who had never been beaten before, were dead at one kick from Nathan?
Snapping out of shock, Gabriel pulled out a gun and aimed it at Nathan. As if he was seeing the latter for the first time, he growled, "Damn punk! Who would have known you were so strong? Even Noir and Blanc weren't your equals.
"But then, what is your strength in the face of my gun?"
The minute Colin, Thomas and the Elite Eight saw Gabriel reaching for his gun, they moved in front of Nathan instantly. As his personal guard, they were more than ready to protect him with their lives.
Noting how the men had moved to protect Nathan, Gabriel jeered, "Cross, you only have ten bodyguards there while I have twelve bullets in my gun. Plus, I still have three hundred of my best fighters with me. Do you seriously think that I can't get to you?"
There was not the slightest bit of fear on Nathan's face when he saw the gun. Ordering his men to step aside, he moved forward so he could stand in front of them.
There was an amused look on his face as he questioned, "You dare wave that gun around in my face? Are you picking on me only because you think I don't have any men or guns?"
A vicious smile curled Gabriel's lips. "So what if I am?"
After that, he pulled the trigger on his gun.
Nathan sneered as he mocked, "You don't seem to have ever used a gun before; you didn't even disengage the thumb safety! How do you expect to kill me when you don't even know the basics?"
The head of the Logan family blinked in surprise before looking down at his gun. The thumb safety was indeed on and he hadn't loaded the gun yet.
