While Gammon was barking out orders in anger, Goliath, who was grievously injured, began rampaging through the crowd. Just like a wounded beast, he viciously killed some of the Alpha soldiers before turning around to flee.
“Don't let him escape!”
When one of the Remdik officers bellowed, many Alpha soldiers aimed their guns at Goliath's back.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Peppered by a massive hail of bullets in his back, Goliath stumbled for a couple of steps.
However, the damage from the bullets wasn't enough to take down a werewolf as powerful as he was. After staggering a short distance, he darted into the darkness and vanished into thin air.
“Quick! Go after him, and gun him down!”
Hordes of Remdik soldiers ruthlessly gave chase.
At that moment, the whirring of descending armed helicopters could be heard. Reinforcements had finally arrived.
Nathan, together with Gammon, got into the helicopter with their respective guards, then flew back to the Red Palace.
Inside the palace, Gammon's wife was chatting with Penny over coffee.
It wasn't until both of them heard the sudden commotion outside that they learned of Nathan and Gammon's return.
Upon his arrival at the Red Palace, Gammon headed straight to the royal chambers to wash up.
His wife hurried after him to assist, leaving Nathan and Penny alone in the reception hall.
Baffled, Penny asked softly, “Why did you guys come back so early? Also, what happened to Mr. Gammon?”
