It’s here so soon.
Indeed, Jason was just a small part of the process. For the plutocrats, they had already made up their minds.
It was a fight to the death.
Jason was a signal that she and Enrico had sent to the plutocrats.
She, on the other hand, was a signal that the plutocrats wanted to send to Enrico.
It meant that the battle had officially begun.
The car doors opened simultaneously, and a group of men wearing black combat gear and with their faces covered, except for their eyes, got out of the car. Each one of them was holding a gun and they all walked straight towards their car.
The driver, who was more than just a driver and also knew kung fu, saw the scene and reached over to grab a gun. “Ma’am, keep your head down, I’ll handle this.”
A few people stood by Paige’s car window and made a gesture that meant “come out.”
“It’s not that serious,”
Paige said indifferently, taking out a pistol from the side, checking it in her hand, and then leaning back as the man outside forcefully opened the car door, kicking it open with a forceful kick.
The several men were kicked back repeatedly, and they opened fire on the car.
Paige rushed out and decisively shot at the opponent.
The recoil made her hand a little sore.
The driver and the several bodyguards following closely behind also rushed up together, protecting Paige.
The city has really changed.
Back when Molly was kidnapped, the kidnappers were afraid of a big scene and didn’t dare to shoot in the street. But now, gunshots are just as common as the sound of traffic.
It’s as if there is no peace in the city.
Birds take flight in fright, frightened vehicles keep backing up and swerving, and they in turn block the intersection not far away. Pedestrians run away in panic.
Paige felt the irony of this situation and tightened her grip. She elbowed a man who rushed at her, and the bullet hit his leg…
The opposition had come prepared and there were many of them.
Their car was riddled with bullets and seemed ready to explode at any moment. There was no way to get inside for cover.
“Ma’am, you should hide back there,” said one of the bodyguards, who was having a hard time dealing with the situation.
“No way,” Paige said, her voice tinged with cold.
Behind her was a jam of cars, and if she ran over there now, she would be spreading the flames of war there.
Besides, she knew full well that this was just the beginning. She couldn’t keep running to the crowd to take refuge every time.
She leaned against a tree, peeking out a little, looking at the pairs of feet on the ground to determine how many people there were and their exact location. Then she took her gun again and walked out, striking hard at her opponent.
Suddenly, a black muzzle was trained on her in the chaos.
Paige quickly sidestepped, only to see a pink object flash past her eyes before exploding into countless pieces amidst the ear-piercing gunfire.
“Pop.”
A blue eyeball fell in front of her, its long false eyelashes burnt off.
A doll?
Paige glanced back and saw Blanca rushing over with a cold face, her gun firing bullets non-stop, knocking down the people in front of Paige one after the other.
She was accompanied by a handsome middle-aged man. The two of them did not hesitate to charge into the melee, blocking the way in front of Paige and fighting the criminals in front of them
“…”
Paige was stunned for a moment before continuing to join in.
The fight lasted less than ten minutes before it ended, with the criminals losing miserably.
It wasn’t that as soon as Blanca joined in, the situation on their side reversed.
Rather, there was sudden sniper cover and the support of the police arriving quickly by helicopter.
Paige then realized that Enrico had already issued an order that as soon as she left the house, her approximate route would be planned, and someone would scout the route first to ensure that there were no problems.
If there were no problems, Nick would secretly follow and provide sniper cover if necessary.
The police had just received dozens of brand new helicopters from the Gustin Group, and were overjoyed. Once they heard about Paige’s accident, they naturally went into action as soon as possible.
So the battle ended, and the criminals were all taken away by the police.
“Paige, are you okay?” Blanca rushed anxiously to Paige, her long hair sticking to her pale face from the sweat.
She looked like she was in more trouble than she was.
She had rushed to the scene of the firefight before her wounds had healed.
“I’m fine. Why are you here?”
Paige rotated her somewhat numb wrists. She hadn’t fired a gun for such a long time that she wasn’t very used to it.
“We were going to go look for you, but we got stuck in traffic and heard gunshots, so we were worried and came to check,” Blanca said. Fortunately, they had run a block to come and see what was going on and help.
We?
Paige looked at the man standing next to her and sized him up.
When she looked at him, the man suddenly straightened up, his dark eyes crinkling with a smile that was a little forced and exuded… kindness?
Paige was shocked by her own choice of words, and then she saw a tear-shaped mole below the corner of the man’s eye.
It was small.
It deepened the lines of his features.
“Alonso?” Paige was very surprised.
“Yes, it’s me.”
Alonso’s eyes lit up, and he stared at her intently. As if suddenly remembering something, he looked down at himself, hurriedly straightening his clothes that had been messed up in the fight, pulled his shirt collar hard, and then looked back up at her, hoping to see a little bit of appreciation in her eyes.
Paige looked at him and then at the expressionless Blanca.
Okay, now she really understood how Blanca had been so infatuated back then. It all comes down to looks.
“These people… they’ve started?” Blanca asked worriedly.
These plutocrats, seeing that Jason hadn’t escaped, had decided to start the fight.
“Mm,” Paige nodded, frowning as she looked at the bloodstains all over the floor, “this is just the beginning.”
There would be more fierce battles waiting for her.
Paige had three people on her side who had suffered minor injuries, but fortunately none of them were serious. She watched as the paramedics loaded the people onto the ambulance and gave them a few instructions.
Alonso stood to one side, looking at her straight on, his lips curling up unconsciously. “She’s very good-looking, and she’s got great skills and a warm way with people.”
She was only twenty-five, and already she was so good-looking.
There wasn’t a single flaw in her.
“…”
Blanca looked at him in silence. Now she felt that everything was fine, and she hadn’t just been pointing a gun at Paige.
“Paige,”
Nick arrived late, carrying a large cello case on his back, which looked very bulky.
Paige glanced at him and said, “Thanks.”
He is now infallible and provides good cover.
“Sister Paige is still saying thank you to me?”
Nick raised his glasses, turned his head to look at Blanca and Alonso, a little surprised, the Folsom family is here too?
Paige saw his eyes and thought about having to work with the Folsom and Davis families in the future, so she introduced them, “Let me introduce you, Nick, my deputy, these two… my… parents.”
She paused and paused again, saying that her father and mother seemed to be particularly close, so she could only quickly say that her parents were here to introduce themselves.
“???
Three question marks slowly floated above Nick’s head.
One trip to Eastdown, one trip to the west, and you’ve got both parents, Paige?
