“No, please don't!”
A woman's voice in fear suddenly came to his ears, and William’s whole body was trembling reflexively, “Sophia!” That clearly was not Sophia’s voice. It was a woman looking exactly like Sophia.
He turned and stared at the door in front of him. The voice came from inside.
“Ah... Let me go!”
The door wasn’t closed tightly, and there were a few men standing straight at the door. Without thinking too much, William turned and ran towards them. He kicked the man at the door, and before they could reach for their guns, he quickly stepped inside the room and pushed a man in a large flowered shirt off the bed.
“Don't move!” He aimed the black pistol at the man. The men outside didn’t dare to step any further.
Mia was lying on the bed in tears, she couldn’t move and seemed extremely weak. William looked angrily at her. She was really innocent.
He took the bedsheet but not for the girl to cover her body. He gave it to the men in doorway to cover their eyes, “Don't take off the sheets, or your boss will die!"
The quilt fell down, and the man in the shirt turned his head. There was a long scar on his playboy face. He immediately recognized William Brown and shouted, “You've gone too far.”
Of course, William also knew this man, people in his control called him Costar. He was a small entrepreneur in this city, his name was Peter Costar. Looking from outside, he had a small business, but the things underneath were different. He opened a casino, smuggled drugs, guns and ammunition. He did all the thing which could make high profit. On this land his power under the shadows was almost equal to William’s.
Although they two were in a competitive relationship, they never fell out with each other. But they finally met each other.
William kicked him away angrily and the man fall down. Then he took off his suit and covered Mia’s body and said, “Sorry, this woman is mine!”
“You fucking...” Peter Costar looked at the woman on the other side on the bed but hasn’t finished his phrase. Opposite of him, William pushed the loaded gun with no emotions and said in a cold voice, “Are you sure you wanna check whose gun is faster?”
His men were standing not far away. Knowing this, Costar felt more confident. Suddenly he hurled a thick floor coat rack and threw it over, hitting William. Obviously, he was more into the fight than his useless men. With a few groans, while William was kicking the coat rack back to Costar. In a second, a click...
“Ah…”
It was one of the men who fell down, and gurgling blood rolled from his leg.
Undoubtedly it happened because of the strongest provocation. What William did was even more embarrassing than the direct fight with Peter Costar. Sure, there were two enemies against him, two hearts against his, but he wasn’t such a man! Costar was completely crazy. His eyes were red and wanted to find a more powerful weapon. Outside, his men said in a hurry, “Boss, bad news, bad news…The police are here!”
It's not a good thing to be seen by someone with a gun or a knife in his hands. For Costar it will be the end of his career and reputation.
“Hm…” He twisted his mouth and shot an angry look; he was finally pulled away by one of his men. William picked up Mia and didn’t stay any longer.
Fighting and killing wasn’t something new for William, he got used to this sort of things long ago. Mia met him for the first time, she couldn’t move, her body was trembling. She closed her eyes, didn’t even dare to look at William.
He... turned out to be...
The thought of him holding a black lacquered pistol made her body tremble even more, and the whole world was shattered.
If only she could, she would struggle to run away.
