Chapter 49: Flying Bullets

Michael, with his sharp eyesight, having locked his gaze on Dante’s motion, had already begun moving even before Dante pulled the trigger.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The bullet cracked past his side, as he twisted his body slightly. Then another two consecutive bullets, with each bullet chasing where he had just been.

Within a heartbeat, he was on Dante. His hand slammed the pistol upward, forcing the next shot into the air, as he then drove a punch into Dante’s throat.

Dante collapsed before he could fire again, the gun spinning out of his grasp as he clasped his throat, struggling to breathe.

Everything had happened so unexpectedly, that nobody could react for a moment. But still, Daniel, who was next to Dante managed to react as soon as Michael took down Dante.

With a fierce expression on his face, he directly kicked at Michael’s rib, using his full strength.

It was just that, even before his kick could connect, Michael’s punch landed directly on his face, sending him crashing to the ground from the explosive force.

And as he landed onto the ground, he was unconscious, knocked out cold by Michael’s punch.

It was just that, by the time that Michael dealt with Daniel, the other gangsters around had also reacted.

Dante had dropped before anyone had time to process it. One moment, he was standing with the pistol raised; the next, he was flat on the ground, gasping, the gun dropped halfway across the cracked pavement, lost within the overgrown vegetation.

And, when Daniel was taken down, it was so shocking to them.

For a heartbeat, silence swallowed everything. The men behind him froze mid-motion, eyes wide.

The rest of the gangsters, scattered around, with knives, pipes, and bats, stood rooted where they were, some blinking in disbelief, others staring agape, as if they’d just watched something impossible.

But then, they reacted, realizing, they needed to deal with this kid as fast as possible. Otherwise, they would be in trouble.

Michael didn’t waste any moment. He moved through the place, rushing forward in a blur.

Standing behind Dante were Steve and two other core members of the shadow assembly gang. Michael had noticed their movements, as if they were trying to take something from there jackets.

It was clear, they also had guns on them. Michael could not allow them to get the guns, so, he acted before they took them out.

Before the three with guns could react, he was already within their reach, twisting wrists, striking ribs, and sending them crashing onto the ground. Their attempts to draw were too slow, their panic too vivid.

After taking down the three of them, Michael did not stop. After all, around him, there were more than 40 gangsters. While not each one of them had guns, Michael had already noticed a few others that had guns on them.

They were the six men that were brought by Daniel. Each one of them had a gun, which was something that Michael had seen from the way that they were acting.

Grabbing one of the guns, using his full strength, Michael threw it towards one of the gangsters, who had already grabbed his gun, pulling it out of his jacket.

Bam!

But before he could even do anything with the gun, the gun that Michael had thrown hit him squarely on the forehead.

Due to the power that was contained within the throw, and how hard the gun was, the guy collapsed onto the ground, his eyes exposing the white.

At the same time, Michael rushed into the crowd of gangsters, using them as a shield, in order to prevent being shot by the other five gangsters.

Of course, by rushing into the crowd of gangsters who had been standing behind Dante, numbering to about 20, he was obviously going to be attacked.

The gangster nearest to Michael swung the metallic pipe in his hand at Michael’s back.

Having already anticipated being attacked, Michael twisted his body slightly, turning and stretching his hand at the same time.

Thump!

The pipe struck his palm, but he did not react, grabbing the pipe. And with a sudden pull, he snatched the metallic pipe from the hand of the gangster, while the gangster stumbled forward.

While bending his body to the side, to dodge a baseball bat that was about to strike his head, Michael kicked at the gangster who was stumbling towards him.

Bam!

With just a single attack on the chest, several bones within the body of the gangster were broken. At the same time, the gangster was thrown backwards by the kick, crashing into other gangsters that were rushing towards Michael.

At the same time, Michael used his elbow, smashing it into the neck of the gangster who had approached him with a fruit knife.

This time, unlike when he was dealing with the gangsters back in the orphanage, Michael was not holding back at all.

So, as his elbow connected with the neck of the gangster, there was a slight cracking sound, before the head hang loose on the broken neck, followed by the body collapsing on the ground.

While regaining his balance, Michael threw out the metallic pipe in his hand, aiming it towards the gangsters that were having guns.

At this time, the gangsters had already prepared, aiming towards him. But considering that Michael was in the middle of so many gangsters, the five could not precisely aim at him, without the risk of killing their own allies.

So, they were continuously aiming at Michael, waiting for a chance in order to shoot.

And by the time that they reacted, the metallic pipe had already been thrown by Michael, aiming at one of them.

The person who was aimed at by Michael did not even have a chance to react, before the metallic pipe, rushing at him with incredible speed and force, struck his head.

Crack!

The head cracked open as the metallic pipe bounced off the head, as a cracking sound was heard.

The head of the gangster whipped backwards as the metallic pipe spun in the air, before dropping onto the ground a little distance away.

At the same time, the eyes of the gangster widened in disbelief and horror, but the luster within them began dimming in the next moment.

His body went rigid for a fraction of a second, then lost all strength. The gangster crumpled, collapsing like a puppet whose strings had been cut.

The other gangsters were shocked by the sudden turn of events. They had not expected that Michael, despite being surrounded by several gangsters, actually had the time to spare to deal with them.

They got agitated, especially looking at the corpse that had collapsed onto the ground, with blood still spilling from the broken forehead.

This kind of precision, the ability to attack from a distance, under extreme pressure, it was so terrifying. They understood, they definitely could not allow Michael to attack them any longer.

So, they did not hesitate any longer, aiming at Michael. They were waiting, just for the slightest chance, for them to shoot.

Bang! Bang!

But at this time, two consecutive gunshots echoed in the air, as two more gangsters collapsed onto the ground.

The other three gangsters were so frightened by the sound of gunshots, that one of them pulled the trigger.

Bang!

Since he was initially aiming at Michael, and due to the panic and the group of people surrounding Michael, one of the gangsters, who was viciously swinging a baseball bat at Michael was suddenly shot in the neck.

In the next moment, the gangster collapsed onto the ground, his body spasming for a while, before he died.

Bang!

Another gunshot, and another gangster with a gun was taken down. Now, two gangsters remained, all of them using the SUV that they were standing next to as cover.

They ignored Michael totally, looking towards the direction of the Audi A4. It was from there that someone had shot at them.

During the time that Michael took action, taking down Daniel and Dante consecutively, Kate was also shocked.

Just like the others around, she had not anticipated that Michael was going to be so decisive, even when facing a gun pointed at him.

Additionally, the speed that he demonstrated was something that she had never seen before. She doubted, was this even something that a human could do?

Regardless, when she saw Michael dealing with three more gangsters, and used a gun like a stone, throwing it at a gangster and taking them out, she reacted.

Without any hesitation, she took out her own gun, then rushed to one side of the car, aiming at the gangsters.

Initially, she wanted to kill the few gangsters surrounding Michael, before she realized that there were a few other gangsters that had guns.

By the time that she was about to shoot, Michael had already thrown out a metallic pipe, killing another gangster.

Despite the shock that she experienced, she still went ahead and pulled the trigger two consecutive times.

She was trained in the police academy, making her aiming quite good. Even though she did not get a headshot, she still managed to take down two gangsters with two shots.

One of the gangsters died on the spot, while the other had received a bullet in the chest, with his lung punctured by the bullet. It was impossible for them to survive, it was just a matter of time.

And as she shot for the third time, taking down yet another gangster, she suddenly ducked down, as the remaining two gangsters suddenly began shooting at her.
