The tall bodyguard's face slowly became pale with her words, as pale as a piece of paper, and even his lips lost color.
Taking the opportunity, Essie said, "Boss, shoot at my heart. I'd rather die under your gun than this bastard's gun!"
"Close your eyes." Zac pointed his gun at her.
"You..." The tall bodyguard was so frightened that his eyes were as wide as dead fish. Once the hostage in his hand died, he would be burned to ashes.
"Clap!" A loud sound shook the walls, tearing apart the frozen air.
"Ah --" the tall bodyguard screamed and dropped the gun in his hand, completely out of place.
Zac raised the gun in his hand slightly, and a bullet flew out silently, like lightning, through the air. It hit the middle of the tall bodyguard's eyebrows. He fell straight down without saying a word.
Zac rushed up like a hurricane, pulled Essie into his arms and held her tightly.
In fact, the sound of 'bang' just now came from the mouth of Zac. He didn't pull the trigger at all. His gun was equipped with a silencer, and there was no sound when the bullets came out.
The tall bodyguard's psychological defense line had already broken down in their conversation. How could he tell whether it was a real gunshot or not?
Jay immediately took his men to search the corridor and every room.
Zac didn't let go of the woman in his arms for a long time, as if he was holding a treasure that he had lost and found. He didn't dare to let her go again.
It was not until now that Essie came to her senses. She grabbed the hem of his cloth and burst into tears. "Icy guy, I'm too stupid. I almost tore off that bastard's mask, but it's still too late. Woo..."
"You little fool, I don't need you to take such a risk, as long as you are fine." Zac caressed her injured cheek and felt heartbroken.
But Essie was not reconciled. She blamed herself to death. It was really uncomfortable to fall short of success, especially because of her mistake.
"It's all my fault. If I didn't sprain my ankle, May would have done better than me."
"My little fool, the only thing you need to do is to protect yourself." Zac wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. He was so angry that he kicked the corpse beside him hard. He dared to hurt his wife, it would be too easy for him to be killed by a shot. The idea of burning him on the iron plate was not bad. That bastard deserved that.
Essie didn't dare to look at the corpse. She felt sick at the thought of the bloody and ferocious appearance.
"I don't want to stay here anymore. Let's go," she buried her head in his arms and said in a low voice.
Zac lifted her up and walked outside.
Jay and the men in black searched the entire villa, but they didn't find Steven.
It was not until then that Essie remembered the tall bodyguard's words. "There is a secret passage in that room. I heard that they wanted to escape through it. How can I forget that?"
The villa was provided by Willi. He was quite cunning. He had secretly repaired the secret passage for escape in all his properties.
Just as Jay was about to lead his men into the villa to search again, there was a violent explosion from the villa.
"Run!" Jay roared loudly, everyone rushed out of the villa.
Zac threw Essie to the ground, covered her ears with his hands and protected her.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Several violent explosions were deafening, and the villa fell down with a loud bang, turning into ruins. Fragments and dust scattered from the sky like snow, almost covering Zac and the men in black.
"Son of a bitch! When I catch him, I'll burn him to ashes!" Jay stood up and spat a mouthful of dust on the ground.
"Are you okay?" Zac looked at the girl under him.
Shaking her head, Essie was scared. She didn't expect that Steven was so vicious that he even placed a remote control bomb in the villa. Fortunately, Jay and his men didn't go in, or the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Where is the baby?" Only then did she think of her little baby, fearing that he would be frightened by the explosion.
"I have asked someone to send him back. Don't worry," Zac said.
Essie breathed a sigh of relief. As long as her baby was safe, it would be fine.
"Boss, I'll take someone down the mountain to chase him," Jay said through gritted teeth.
"No need," Zac said in a low voice. Since the enemy had been prepared, they must have escaped. It was useless to chase them anymore.
"Let him go so easily?" Jay was not reconciled.
"They can't run away. When we catch Willi, we can grill them on the iron plate, and let them eat each other by then," Zac said coldly. He held up Essie horizontally and walked down the mountain.
The secret passage in the villa led to the dock. After getting on the ship, Walt regained his consciousness. Knowing that his subordinate had blown up the villa, he punched him in the face and asked, "Who let you detonate the bomb?"
