He didn’t care who was the victim at this time, it was most important for them to get out first.
“You go first.”
Alonso said and walked towards the old man, dragging him over from the bed with one hand and glaring down at him, “It’s you isn’t it, you’re the one who was wasted by my daughter seven years ago.”
“No, no … I’m innocent, it wasn’t me, it wasn’t me.”
The old man was completely at a loss as to how Paige suddenly appeared as a father, and was instantly scared out of his wits, desperately shaking his head.
“Innocent?” Alonso let out a laugh, then his face grimaced directly as he dragged the man off the bed and exploded down on his head, “I told you to say innocent!”
“…”
Bryan looked confused.
“…”
Paige stood by the window, her hands wrapped deathly around the ropes, and looked over at Alonso in shock at his words.
Why did he even know this? How could he possibly know that?
Rafael, even if he had notified Enrico, Alonso and the others to come to the rescue, there was no way he would have had this time to go into detail about the cause and effect, the details of the plan, surely it would have just been a sentence to hurry to the rescue.
She suddenly felt that something was wrong and wanted to ask something, Alonso only indulged in the thrill of punching someone.
The old man was soon beaten to a pig’s head, unable to utter a single word of pleading for mercy.
“Bang.”
There was another loud bang, and the door to the room next to him had been forced open by the bodyguards outside.
“Move!”
Alonso turned back, grabbed the end of the rope and threw it outside, then gave Paige a deep look, “Hold on tight!”
With those words, he stood and pushed her out into the howling wind as soon as he could without any hesitation.
The wind on the 68th floor was terrifyingly strong.
Paige was stunned by this maneuver of his, and before she had time to say half a word, her person swung out of the window, her feet dangling in the air, and she could only busy herself with the softness of her own arms wrapped around the ropes in a death grip to keep herself from falling.
At the same time, the helicopter began to reel in the ropes upwards, pulling her up.
Alonso stood looking at her from the window and smiled in relief, turning his head and grabbing over the older man again on her back.
“Bang.”
A gunshot rang out.
The old man fell limply.
Alonso quickly turned around and aimed his gun at the door of the room, firing continuously, the bodyguards at the door weren’t stupid, seeing that there was no more Paige in the room, all of them tried to rush towards the window, and were pressed back by Alonso alone with his firepower.
“Kid, if you don’t want to die, get down behind the bed.”
Alonso said at Bryan as he fired his gun.
“…”
Where had Bryan seen this before, his face couldn’t have been whiter, he didn’t duck, he just stood there.
Paige hangs in the air, staring blankly at Alonso dealing with the bodyguards pouring in from the doorway all by himself, not even using a barrier, just hitting them back, a completely life-threatening fight.
She suddenly realized that Alonso never wanted to go with her.
He knew that once the rescue operation started, they wouldn’t be safe enough even if they got to the helicopter, they’d still be strafed, so he stayed behind to draw fire so that the helicopter could take her away smoothly.
Paige looked at Alonso’s figure, blinded by the wind.
The group of bodyguards also saw Alonso’s purpose, finally someone did not want to retreat any more, directly rushed out, not caring about Alonso, rushed to the window and wanted to hit Paige who was hanging in mid-air.
Bryan suddenly swooped out and jumped right on top of the man.
“Go! Go!”
Bryan clung to the man, unable to look at her, only shouting out at the top of his lungs.
The two wrestled on the floor by the window, almost rolling down the 68th floor.
Alonso was still firing desperately, the moment he ran out of bullets was the moment the group of bodyguards would recoil.
“…”
Paige stared dumbfounded at the two men, gritted her teeth, and climbed up the stairs with all her strength.
“Lady, hands!”
Jaden peeked out of the helicopter and offered her his hand.
Paige grabbed his hand and struggled into the helicopter, and before the door could close, Jaden snapped, “Hurry up.”
“Wait!”
Paige said immediately, strapping herself into the seat and grabbing a rifle off to the side before aiming a wild burst of fire at the room on the 68th floor, sweeping back a group of people trying to get to Alonso and Bryan.
Her brows knit tightly.
None of them could be okay.
She would never allow anything to happen to anyone else because of her!
Her flurry of assistance gave Alonso a gap to switch guns, and Alonso quickly fired at the outside once more, leading Bryan on a killing spree.
“Miss, we have to go!” Jaden said anxiously.
The helicopter moved and Paige looked out into the gale force winds towards the building, which had large floor to ceiling windows, and from the outside it was clear to see that people were fighting on every floor.
Windowpanes were shattered, people were falling to the ground, people were falling out of tall buildings.
Screams and gunshots were heard.
Suddenly, Paige spotted the presence of the three siblings of THE FOLSOM FAMILY, along with some faces that counted as familiar, THE FOLSOM FAMILY was all here …
They attacked from above.
Blanca takes the brunt of it and kills as if she’s fully healed, the same desperate style of play as Alonso.
And then there were the others, Temple in Heaven’s men, whom she had coached.
She’d put them at Enrico’s disposal, and they’d all come here.
If she guessed correctly, she was afraid that the fight had already started under the building as well, whereas there were Enrico’s trained subordinates …
All the forces had come to her rescue.
So fast.
“They’re all inside, take me to the roof and I’ll lead the charge further down.” Paige said immediately.
The helicopter shook and someone noticed their presence and started aiming at the helicopter from the window.
Paige held her gun and swept past again for perimeter support.
The pilot maneuvered the helicopter to avoid it and kept flying forward.
After flying out a ways, Paige realized it wasn’t turning back at all and couldn’t help but say, “Get back, everyone’s over there.”
“Miss, you’ve been fighting for so long, you might as well take a break.” Jaden advised as he sat beside her.
“Everyone is fighting for their lives, how can I stay away, and Rafael and Carrie, did you save them?”
Paige retorted as she turned back to see Jaden with a heavy heart between her eyebrows as if she was about to say something, her heart sank, “Jaden, are you hiding something from me?”
“…”
Jaden’s expression stiffened and he looked away.
“Where’s Enrico, where’s Enrico?” Paige asked in a cool voice.
Why did anyone see anyone but Enrico?
At that, Jaden lowered his eyes and said over the noise of the helicopter, “Miss, do you really think you’ve hidden your plan from Mr. Gustin?”
“…”
Paige stiffened.
What did that mean, what did it mean?
“This time, Mr. Gustin is really pissed off.” Jaden said as he sat there, his tone heavy.
“…”
Paige looked at him, her fingers suddenly feeling a tingle, and she heard her voice tremble a little, “Where is he?”
“Mr. Gustin has taken a small group of men to the back of the Pao Zaibatsu, he said …”
Jaden paused for a long time before raising his eyes to look at her with a complicated face, “He said that the roles are reversed, he doesn’t need you to wait for him to come to the rescue when he’s resolved, he’s waiting for your side to be resolved before he brings his men to back him up.”
“…”
Paige lost her voice completely when she heard that.
