"Let's go."
After another hour, I finally got up.
Kieran closed the file he was reviewing before standing up as well. I couldn't help smiling.
Who would ever believe me if I told them I got to tell Kieran to go, and he followed?
He raised an eyebrow when he saw me smiling.
I shook my head and went ahead.
Of course, I would be using my own car while he would use his with Michael.
"Let's go," I said to Michael when I saw him outside.
Michael furrowed his brows when he saw Kieran following me.
I pointed at Kieran using my thumb.
"I told him that I'd let him watch front row whenever I make my move when we get the chance. And that chance just presented itself right now. So yeah, follow me and watch them come at me."
Then I went to the elevator first. Kieran followed, then the still curious Michael.
"Don't think too much and just watch. You have seen me use the knife, but this time, I am going to use the gun," I bobbed my brows while looking at Michael.
...
Upon reaching the area where there was a mountain on one side and plain grassland on the other side of the road, I found the ones I had been anticipating.
A smile spread across my lips as I took out two handguns from the glove compartment. Of course, with their mags.
The cars were all in the road, obviously obstructing my path. I also noticed some construction signs a few blocks away from here, a while ago, though they were still on the side of the road.
When I passed, they must have placed it in the middle of the road.
I wonder how Kieran and Michael will get in. Well, that is not a problem for them. They will surely find a way to come closer.
Close enough to watch the entertainment.
The men in different attire stepped out of the cars and blocked my path with their guns in their hands.
It seems they are not following the norm where people who try to scare others are always wearing a suit and tie.
I whistled upon noticing someone holding an assault rifle.
Now this is what you call scaring people.
Maneuvering the car so that the driver's side would be facing them, I stepped out, keeping the guns hidden for now.
"Is there a problem?" I asked like a good citizen.
We should not get into fights the moment we see the enemies. Sometimes, we also need to be ethical.
"So it is you," one said.
"It is I... what?" I asked again.
"The one who needs some teaching to know her place. I heard you are throwing your weight around as if you can-"
*Bang*
They all looked at the man speaking in shock when I shot him in the head without warning.
His body dropped to the ground, lifeless.
"You're talking too much. That's too boring."
*Brat-Brat-Brat-Brat*
I rolled over the hood of my car when the guy holding the assault rifle suddenly opened fire.
What a guy, he's too excited. Suddenly opening fire when I just fired one bullet. That's unfair.
My car is a specially made bulletproof one. The reason why I maneuvered it to face them with its side.
How can I fight them in an open area with guns? I can dodge here and there, but I am not so reckless, even if I am capable.
It stopped when they realized that the car was unaffected.
Well, the only thing that could damage this car is a bomb.
"We are supposed to scare you, but it seems you do not want to live anymore. So, why don't we just paralyze you instead since we can't kill you?" I heard another speak.
Come to think of it. Riven did not include that part.
They can paralyze me, and I am still living, then they can control everything from then on.
Well, we can't anticipate everything, no matter how smart we are.
Plus, Riven trusts me that no matter what I'll face, I'll come out victorious.
"Come on. Don't say such words towards a beautiful lady. Don't you feel bad for me?" I replied.
Using a mirror from my pocket, I checked their positions.
After what I did, all of them are still standing without taking cover.
They did not bother with the dead man.
"Then come out and be a good girl and let us do what we have to do," they replied.
With the mirror at hand, I positioned my gun. Just like the car, this gun is modified.
*Bang*
Another man dropped dead. Shot in the head.
This time, I didn't stop there. Using their shock, I stood up and shot three more.
*Bang*
*Bang*
*Bang*
Then I run to the other side of the car before shooting another one.
*Bang*
All of which were in the head, without miss.
I whistled at my capability.
Finally, I heard movements from their side.
Those that remained came running towards me. I smiled, just as I intended.
I lay on the ground, picking through the bottom of the car, and made multiple shots at their running legs.
*Bang*
*Bang*
*Bang*
*Bang*
Four consecutive shots, getting two people in the legs before hitting them in the head.
Then I went inside the car just as they got close.
"Peek-a-boo," I said to the person on the side of the car that was facing their car.
*Bang*
The moment I opened the door on that side, one came to view, and his forehead welcomed my bullet.
Then I rolled out before hitting another that was in front of the car.
I ran towards one dead body, using it as a shield while lying down when they opened fire again.
*Bang*
With one look, I made another shot, not missing another one.
A burst of gunfire cracked through the air.
Using the bodies and my agility, I evaded their shots while returning fire from time to time. Hitting one person after another.
Without miss.
The one holding the assault rifle was on the other side of the car. By the time he ran around, I was already by their cars. Using these cars as a shield from yet another open fire from him.
*Brat-Brat-Brat-Brat*
I licked my lip as they continued firing while walking closer. I changed the magazine in my gun and waited until they were close enough before running to the grassland while aiming at the hoods of the cars.
*Bang*
*Bang*
*Boom*
