Chapter 292 Rescuing The Hostages (Part Two)
Simultaneously, Jazlyn raised her sniper gun and aimed it at the target, ready to pull the trigger at any time.
"Dixon! Dixon!"
As soon as the two approached the bay, Archer shouted, "We're here to make a deal!"
"Who are you? Stop!" When a group of bodyguards saw the two, they quickly pointed their guns at them, obviously threatening to shoot if they were to step any closer.
Hearing that seemingly familiar voice, Dixon immediately turned his head and was utterly shocked to see who it was. "How could it be? Are you..."
"Surprise!" Aisha grinned deviously at him and proudly said, "I was rescued, and your boss, Corbett, has been captured by us."
Archer didn't say anything. The twins resembled each other a lot, which was why Dixon would definitely mistake Aisha for Mary. But for how long could she hide it?
"Mommy, help! Huhu!" Elissa's frightened voice suddenly filled the cold air. "Mommy!" This time, it was Alick who called for their mother.
"Honey, don't be afraid!" Aisha comforted, her eyes now filled with utmost disgust and fury on the vile man before them.
"We’re proposing to exchange the hostages," suggested Archer in a low voice. "In your hearts, the life of your young lord should be much more valuable than that of the three little fellows, isn't it?"
After hearing that Corbett was captured, Dixon froze to his feet while his mind went completely blank. At this point, he couldn't think straight any longer. "Where is my young lord?"
"In a place which you won't find out easily," replied Archer in a grim tone.
"Then..." When he was about to say something, Dixon suddenly stopped and surveyed Aisha from head to foot, obviously skeptic at the young woman. This woman was wearing a wedding gown just now, but how could she change her clothes in such a short time? And her sharp and frightening eyes were too different from those just now!
Something was wrong...
With his nose flaring in anger, Dixon understood everything in a flash. They were fooling him! "Shoot them!" he ordered in Japanese.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a pang of pain tinged on his right arm.
It turned out that from the moment he scrutinized Aisha, the latter had known that she would be exposed. Seeing the change of his expression, Aisha took out her gun at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye and shot precisely at his right arm that was about to take the gun.
In an instant, bullets flew across the bay,
and the smell of gunpowder pervaded. Although Dixon had many people with him, most of his men were ambushed in the factory. And now, Jazlyn and her companions had slowly approached the bay, firing from left to right and gaining advantage of the situation.
"Fuck!" With a gun in his left hand, Dixon hid behind a man, who was immediately shot dead on his head. It was a puzzle to him why so many people had found their location so soon. They had taken a detour and made sure no one followed them before finally coming here.
"Bang!"
A bullet flew past his ear, and Dixon kept cursing even more. Seeing that his forces were slimming by the minute, he decided to take more people with him if he were to die today.
Dixon dragged the dead man as a cover and struggled to the bottom of the three children.
"Perish together!" Dixon shouted and raised his gun to shoot Ray.
"Ray!" Barry had just rushed over. Seeing this scene, he cried out heartbrokenly.
"Bang!"
The bullet had already flown out, and Aisha failed to stop Dixon. However, with her quick reflex and wit, she shot at the rope that tied Ray. In an instant, the young boy's body fell straight into the sea, making Dixon's bullet only graze his flesh.
"Jump down and save him!" Aisha shouted as she shot another man dead.
With a thump, Barry jumped off the bay and swam desperately towards his son's sinking body.
'Ray, don't be afraid. Dad is here,' he thought while flapping his feet and hands against the water with full force.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
On the side, Archer held up his gun and fired several shots, sending Dixon to his final demise.
"Bang!"
The last deafening shot was fired by Jazlyn, who breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the corpses scattered everywhere. She had lost count of how many times she had been in this situation, and every time, she felt like a survivor of a disaster. Fortunately, the three kids were safe this time.
"Watch out!" When she was deep in her thoughts, Lucas suddenly shouted and hugged her from behind.
"Ah!!" Lucas wailed in pain as a bullet went through his flesh. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Jazlyn turned around in a hurry and saw a dying man pointing a gun at her. Seeing this, one of her colleagues shot the man straight to his head, killing him entirely this time.
However, it was seconds later that Jazlyn felt a heavy weight and saw Lucas slowly falling on the ground.
"Lucas! Lucas!" she called for him. Kneeling, Jazlyn said in horror, "Please stay strong! I'll take you to the hospital! Please!"
"Don't bother... I... I'm dying..." Lucas replied in a weak tone.
"No! Stop talking!" Jazlyn couldn't tell how she was feeling now. She hadn't cried for a long time, but her tears rolled down her cheeks like a waterfall. "You won't die! Hang on!"
"All my life..." Lucas fought for his consciousness and opened his eyes. "The most regretful thing for me is staying unmarried."
"You'll be fine. You'll get married soon!" Jazlyn replied in a trembling voice, trying to calm the dying man in her arms. "But no one wants to marry me." Even with his condition, Lucas still managed to cast a snort.
Seeing how he could joke around with his last breath, Jazlyn was rendered stunned and speechless. She merely stared at him in utter confusion like he was some kind of abnormality.
"I'm dying," Lucas added, seeing that she didn't respond.
"Then I..." Jazlyn swallowed and blushed. "I can..."
"You bastard! How dare you try to take away my subordinate?" At this moment, Aisha came over from nowhere, kicked Lucas, and said, "What are you talking about? I saw the bullet hit your arm. How could you die so easily?"
"What? Your arm!" Surprised at that revelation, Jazlyn quickly snatched his arm to check his injury.
"Ouch, it hurts!" Lucas couldn't pretend anymore and bounced up from the ground. "My arm hurts! I was shot!"
"Bastard!" Seeing the gunshot on his arm, Jazlyn felt angry and embarrassed. Damn it! She was almost fooled!
"I..." Lucas snorted, "I thought I was going to die, Okay? This is the first time I got shot! How would I know?"
On the other side, several bodyguards carefully settled Alick and Elissa down to check their wounds. Aisha left both Lucas and Jazlyn and hurriedly walked up to the kids.
Back in the sea, Barry managed to grab hold of Ray and dragged him out of the water. With the help of several bodyguards, the young boy was finally brought ashore.
"Ray! Ray!" Barry called his son and untied the rope for him. "It's all right. Ray, you are all right now."
"Ahem..." Ray spat out the seawater and opened his eyes in a daze.
"Ray?" With his arms enveloped around his son, Barry breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh, thank god, you’re awake! It's all right. You're saved. It's all right."
"Thank you, Uncle Barry," he replied weakly, trying to fully open his eyes to make sense of everything around him.
"I'm not your uncle, Ray," Barry croaked, not knowing whether it was the seawater or tears on his face. A lump had found its way to his throat. "I'm your father! Ray, I'm your father!"
"Father?" Ray wanted to speak more, but because of the lack of strength, the young boy fainted in his father's arms.
