Chapter 51: Retreat, Monsters

Kate’s eyes glinted with a cold light, as she aimed at one of the gangsters that was rushing towards the SUV.

How could she not tell the intentions of the gangsters as they rushed towards the SUV? It was obvious, they wanted to get the guns.

Bang!

Kate pulled the trigger, but this time, she did not hit the target. Instead, the shot was completely off the mark.

As for the reason why that was the case, just before she pulled the trigger, Kate heard the sound of footsteps approaching her.

It was just that, due to the fact that she was concentrating, as this time, her target was moving, she failed to notice the person approaching behind her.

And for that reason, by the time that she heard the footsteps from behind her, it was a little too late, and the person had already gotten to her.

But even then, Kate herself was quite skilled. Just as she was pulling the trigger, she twisted her body, moving backwards, dodging the attack.

It was due to this movement that the shot was off the mark, and by a wide margin.

Bang!

Just as she moved, a metallic baseball bat struck the car that she was using us cover on the hood.

It was also at this moment that Kate clearly saw the person who had attacked her.

Despite the darkness behind the person, he was being illuminated by the vans headlights that were pointing directly towards them.

It was a bulky guy, who was completely shirtless. He was wearing a black tracksuit trouser, and in his hand, he was holding the metallic baseball bat.

The expression on his face was one that was filled with ruthlessness. He really seemed to want to kill Kate so badly, as though Kate had murdered his entire family.

Kate on the other hand, while observing the guy, she also reacted.

Bam!

With incredible speed, she kicked towards the guy, directly hitting him in the stomach. After all, the guy was still in the posture of using both of his hands to strike, and was just retracting the baseball bat after failing to hit the target.

So, an upward kick in the belly of the gangster immediately made him groan in pain.

But surprisingly, the guy’s resilience was quite high. Despite being hit, all that he did was to grunt from the pain, but still, he retracted the baseball bat, before aiming it at Kate once again.

At this moment, Kate’s expression was completely cold. If she had not reacted earlier, she would have already been killed by the attack.

Now, facing another attack from the gangster, she was not in the mood to waste time.

If it had been in a normal situation, she would have beaten this guy up, before arresting him.

But right now, it was a completely different matter. It was not as though this was the only person that she needed to deal with, as there were many gangsters around.

So, just as the gangster lifted the baseball bat, aiming to crack Kate’s skull, a muzzle was pointed at the guy.

Bang!

From such a close proximity, the head of the gangster was hit by a bullet. In the next moment, blood splattered, with the gangster collapsing backwards, his eyes losing all the light.

Kate wiped away the blood that had spilled on her face using her hand, while ignoring the blood that had spilled on her clothes.

Bang!

Just as she was done with dealing with the gangster, suddenly, there was the sound of a gunshot.

At the same time, Kate looked towards the origin of the sound of the gunshot, realizing that there was a gangster that was shooting at Michael.

Without any hesitation, Kate suddenly ducked behind the car that was almost unrecognizable from the time that it arrived.

Bang!

At the same time, there was the sound of a gunshot, obviously, someone had aimed the gun at her.

From the three gangsters that had taken the guns, two of them were lucky to find guns that had bullets.

Now, one of them was aiming to deal with Michael, while the other one decided to deal with Kate.

Hiding behind the car, Kate had a frown on her face. The number of gangsters in the surrounding area was just too high.

Those guns were dangerous as well. Killing those that held the guns would obviously not help that much.

After all, even if one person was killed, another person would just take the gun and continue shooting. This implied, they would be continuously in danger.

The solution to this was obviously to gather the guns, preventing the gangsters from using them.

While she was waiting for a chance to shoot at the gangster, Michael on the other hand was carrying out a massacre.

Facing a group of gangsters that only had normal weapons, it was quite easy for Michael to be able to deal with them.

Additionally, this group of gangsters was already frightened by him. So, they only fought him because they felt there was no any other choice.

But, they had already begun considering retreat. After all, if they continued staying here, every sign was showing that they would end up being killed.

Michael was just about to strike a gangster in the chest with a punch when suddenly, from the corner of his eye, he noticed that there was someone that was aiming a gun at him.

At this point, Michael felt quite frustrated. Those guns, they had caused quite some problems for him. If not for the presence of those guns, he was sure that by now, he would almost be done with dealing with the gangsters.

Suddenly opening his fist, Michael slammed a palm into the chest of the gangster, before grabbing the collar of his shirt.

He pulled the gangster towards himself, while he himself, using the strength of his thigh and calf muscles, pushed himself forward.

Bang! Bang!

Two consecutive gunshots rang in the air. One of the bullets, which was originally aimed at him, missed, considering that Michael had moved before the gangster pulled the trigger.

As for the second bullet, it directly hit the gangster that had been pulled by Michael, on the back.

The gangster screamed as he collapsed onto the ground. And, Michael seized this chance, when the other gangster was stunned upon realizing that he had shot his colleague, to rush away.

Lucky for him, he was close to a building. So, he rushed to one end of the building, hiding in the corner.

By this moment, Michael had already dealt with more than 30 gangsters. The other gangsters that had been in the surrounding areas had all rushed over, and Michael was dealing with the last group of gangsters.

With his eyes narrowed, Michael gazed towards a gangster that was charging at him.

As soon as the gangster closed in on him, he tried stabbing him using the knife that he was holding.

Michael reacted swiftly, grabbing the wrist of the gangster, and stopping the knife just as it touched his t-shirt.

Then, with a violent swing, he flung the gangster in the direction that he had just escaped.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

There was the sound of 3 consecutive gunshots, as the gangster collapsed on the ground, his eyes wide in disbelief.

Before being shot, he had seen who had been shooting at him. But was that not his friend?

It was this guy, who had promised that due to the favor that he had granted him, he would be willing to risk his life for him.

But, what kind of risking his life for him was this? Was killing him what he implied? After all, the penalty of killing someone usually ended up with a life sentence, and at worse, they would receive a death penalty.

As he was still thinking about that, his body collapsed onto the ground, with death encroaching on him.

Michael did not bother with the gangster, but instead, he was finding it troublesome to deal with the gangsters.

’I guess, in order to be able to deal with the gangsters much more effectively, I will need to find a way of purchasing something that can enhance my physique.’ Michael thought to himself.

If he could enhance his physique to the level that he could ignore the bullets, it would be way better.

Though, he really had no any intention of fighting against the gangsters his entire life. If possible, after dealing with this group of gangsters and Dante, he would leave the city together with the children in the orphanage.

That way, he could start over somewhere else, and just concentrate on acquiring skills through reading. Then, he could build his own empire while lying at home, reading.

Bang! Bang!

Suddenly, there was the sound of two consecutive gunshots. Judging from the source of the sound of the gunshots, Michael thought that it might be Kate who had shot.

As for who she was shooting at, he could not tell. But even then, Michael contemplated for a moment, before he rushed into the darkness.

Since the gangster was waiting for him to pop out, he might as well just go around the building, and come from the other side.

It was just that, the moment that he came from the other side of the building, he realized that the gangster that he had been intending to deal with, had already collapsed on the ground, lying in a pool of his own blood.

It seemed that Kate had dealt with him. Still, there were quite a few gangsters around.

Michael intended to rush forward and deal with the gangsters when suddenly, there was a change.

“These two are lunatics! I’m out of here!”

“It is better to deal with the police, than dealing with these two! They are monsters!”

With a sudden shout from a few gangsters, the gangster suddenly began running away, none of them showing the intention of containing a fight with Michael and Kate.
