Although Brent was swearing, his tone, order, and demeanor revealed the terrifying abilities of this mercenary team.
Jack was breathing deeply and endeavored to calm himself. But how the hell was he to remain calm at this point? The assassination order brought out a mercenary team. How were they to defend against this?
Intense gun battle continued to be heard. The guards in the corridor started to position themselves to help the retreating guards. This was no longer the ordinary defense against an assassination attempt. This had turned into full-on shooting combat.
Brent’s expression changed and started to ponder about something.
Jack sat on the corridor as each gunshot tugged at his nerves. But he was clear that he could only choose to totally trust Brent and the team for such a battle. It would only complicate matters If he were to participate too much.
“Chief, they are fighting their way through!” Someone in a room shouted.
Jack looked in that direction and it was from a room that faced the main door of the villa which was also the direction of the gunshots.
Jack rubbed his nose as his heart continued to sink.
This must be a huge mess inside the villa district. Normally the rich and famous would be afraid of such a situation happening. They would try all means to avoid and hide something like that so that no one would find out. But this time it was different. There was a team of mercenaries attacking them. Bloodthirsty mercenaries would not be concerned about covering their tracks and for others to know about their actions.
“Bring me my rifle!” Brent suddenly turned ferocious. At this moment, his entire body released a killer sensation. He was like a gnarling beast ready to pounce.
Was this the look of a Warrior King and killer?
Jack was unsettled and looked at Brent as his pupils constricted. Normally, Brent gave him a secure and steady feeling. Even when he wanted to protect Daisy and expressed the urge to kill, it was very different than what he exuded now. Jack felt that Brent had instantly erupted.
Very soon, a guard took a rifle which was wrapped with green cloth. Once the cloth was removed, a sniper rifle was revealed. It was a AWM-P!
Jack was shocked. Though he wasn’t very familiar with rifles, he recognized this legendary rifle. The entire rifle was painted green like a poisonous snake reaching out to strike its prey at any moment.
“Chief, when did you last fire this rifle?” The guard who handed Brent the rifle asked.
“Three years ago.” Brent slowly caressed the rifle as if he was pampering his beloved. He turned and took the rifle towards the room that faced the main entrance of the villa.
Jack sat on the ground all this while and Brent’s transformation surprised him.
Several guards around him began to chat.
“How many do you think Chief will kill this time?”
“How many? Anything less than ten wasn’t worth Chief taking out his rifle.”
“That’s it, now Chief had been forced to show his true colors. Deadpool Mercenary will suffer now.”
…
Jack’s heart stirred wildly when he heard this chatter. He could see from the corner of his eyes that the guards who were talking began to relax a little. So much so that there was a feeling that they are not taking this seriously.
Boom!
Suddenly, there was a deafening sound from the room.
Boom!
Another deafening shot rang out without a pause. The sudden deafening shots from the rifle stung Jack’s ears. Then he saw two fingers raised, obviously reporting to the guards.
“One shot one kill! That’s our Chief!” The guards rejoiced excitedly.
