"Okay."
Irene nodded—she would do her best to go with the plan.
Still, Zachary was considerably relieved to know that their allies were outside. At the very least, they might escape this yet.
Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat…
They could not tell whose side one particular gunman was on, but they were shooting as if bullets cost nothing.
Still, they thought it might be the enemy since James would not have been able to gather so much firepower in an instant.
However, Zachary felt worried again at the thought of James and his men being outgunned and that James might be beaten.
They would not have any way to escape!
This was the first time he was so close to a firefight, and this was supposed to be an era of peace!
Still, even if there was order in Zidonia, they were now abroad!
Nonetheless, it was obvious that the gang were retreating, to the alley on the edge of the street.
And once the gang was forced there, Stan drove up to the restaurant. Zachary dashed outside to open the door, while Irene quickly followed as she helped Isaac move.
Once they were all in the car, Stan promptly floored the gas pedal!
One good point of a vehicle with high horsepower was definitely its rapid acceleration!
However, just as the jeep sped out, the commotion drew the enemy's attention, and they could see inside because the rear windshield had not been fixed!
They all started running towards it and barraging it with bullets, while James did not have enough firepower to stop them!
And within the car, Irene could see a foreigner's savage face as he leveled his gun at them.
Frowning, she lunged at Isaac and pulled him down the next instant!
Vroom!
Stan floored the gas pedal again while James kept trying to divert the enemy's attention from behind.
It was dangerous, but they managed to get away.
Still, Zachary's expression was somber. "Is James going to be alright?"
That gang had packed enough firepower for war!
