Joanna soon recovered from the shock. She warily hid behind her bodyguards to guard Nathan against attacking her suddenly.
She sneered, "Nathan, you really are something. Guess we can't fight you alone! But you're still just a human being. You can't be greater than weapons. Listen, my three snipers have you targeted! You can't run away, no matter what. If you don't want to die, get down on your knees now!”
"Get down on my knees? Are you kidding me? You don't deserve it!" Nathan stared at Joanna and spoke in his usual cold tone.
Joanna could not help but bellow upon hearing his words.
"Get the snipers to shoot him. He's dying to go to hell!” Joanna scowled and ordered Ingram, who stood by her side drily.
The latter did not hesitate to give his order through the microphone, which was pinned on his collar, "Snipers, get ready to shoot."
Kylie whined and struggled madly when she heard him.
Joanna and Ingram, with the rest of their men, were waiting for a good show. They were looking forward to the sound of gunshots when the snipers fired him up.
But... to everyone's dismay, the three snipers were dead quiet.
What has happened?
Joanna had a hunch that something was not right, but she looked confused.
Ingram shouted over the microphone on his collar once again, "Snipers, shoot now! What are you waiting for? Do you hear me?"
However, as soon as Ingram finished his words, a loud and powerful voice was heard over his wireless earphone, "Roger that!"
Ingram was stunned. This doesn't sound like any of the snipers!
But before he could figure out what had happened, a burst of gunshots was heard in a distance.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The three snipers started firing at the same time.
The men around Joanna and Ingram Ziegler were soon shot, and they began bleeding profusely. One by one, they fell onto the ground.
"What's going on? Are they going crazy?" Joanna screamed as her face turned pale.
