Justin showed a face of contrived surprise, “Mrs. Gustin, you are so quick to react… amazing, really amazing.”
He applauded for her vigorously.
“You’ve been targeting Enrico from the beginning.”
Paige clenched her teeth, hating how it took her until this moment to figure it out.
Justin wanted the Folsom family to be together, and the subconscious response of all of them was that it was a hundred years of family grudges, and JT was going to massacre them again. Therefore, all the preparations they made were to protect her and the Folsom family.
Although the Rose Estate was heavily guarded, like an iron fortress, they did not have a specific defensive plan against JT, and they did not even let Dr. Clinton give the bodyguards a lesson.
Not to mention Enrico’s main control room, where he was staying, and with his conceit, no one needed to be protected there.
“I already said it, JT plays with people’s hearts,” Justin said with a smile and a spread hand, looking very pleased.
Brangelina and Beinice stood behind Paige, looking at her with some concern. They could see that Paige was standing there, not moving a finger for a long time.
She was completely stiff.
“Where are my son and Enrico?” Paige asked Justin in front of her, word by word.
“Want to find them?” Justin nodded, “Okay, follow me, I’ll take you to them.”
Justin said, and without caring how many guns the Folsom family were pointing at him, he turned confidently.
After taking a few steps, Paige’s cold voice sounded behind him, “Since JT is good at playing with people’s hearts, I, Paige, just don’t want to go with your rhythm.”
Upon hearing this, Justin’s steps paused.
“You went to a lot of trouble to capture so many people without killing them, and you must have your reasons.”
“…”
“In that case, let’s try a hostage exchange? I’m sure you still have some status in JT.”
Paige said, slowly pulling out her pistol, aiming it at Justin’s back. A murderous look flashed in her clear eyes.
Without hesitation, her slender fingers pressed the trigger.
“Bang…”
The bullet instantly pierced Justin’s body.
Justin covered his bloody wound and slowly fell back, fighting to turn his head with the last of his strength.
He looked at the young woman in front of him with a cold expression on her face in disbelief. The sea breeze blew past, and her white dress looked like it was killing her.
She still had this kind of reason and courage when her son and husband were in his hands…
Justin painfully covered his wound. Although he knew that Paige had not shot him in a vulnerable area, the pain was uncontrollable.
He glared at her angrily and his voice was hoarse, “You dare to shoot, aren’t you afraid that your son and Enrico-”
Paige could not hear these words at all. Her heart was throbbing, her face pale and bloodless, her soft lips slightly open, giving orders word by word, “Capture him alive, go!”
Upon hearing this, the Folsom family did not hesitate any longer, and a group of people charged towards the cloaked man across the street.
“Kill-”
Brangelina and Beinice led the charge, shooting at the cloaked man’s arms and legs.
The situation on the dock suddenly became chaotic.
The remaining cloaked people were startled and hurriedly looked for places to hide. Some also pulled Rafael, Nick, and Kevin in front of them to block the bullets.
The three of them obediently blocked for them without any reluctance.
The Folsom family could only avoid them carefully.
The gunfire was deafening.
Paige held her gun and kept walking forward, sweeping everyone she saw. Soon, the ground of the pier was dyed red with blood.
It was even more red than the sunset.
The white clothes she was wearing were also splattered with countless drops of blood.
“Ahh…”
After a scream, a cloaked man collapsed behind a few cargo boxes and fell at her feet.
Paige looked down and saw that he was holding a pistol in his hand. The gun was surprisingly an old-fashioned pistol that had long been phased out, with low lethality and high recoil…
It seemed that this gun had only been used a century ago.
Why is JT still using it? This gun is not even a deterrent in a gunfight.
Paige was a little surprised, and suddenly heard a curse from behind her.
She quickly turned around and saw that in the chaos, Eduardo had been pushed to the ground, and Casey immediately reached out to help him up.
The moment he bent down, Justin, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly straightened up with unknown strength, grabbed his neck with one hand, and pulled off the blindfold with the other.
Paige rushed over, firing another shot at Justin’s leg as she did so.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
“Yes!”
The weak response of the cloaked people echoed from the corners.
Paige stared at Justin, who was aiming his gun at him, and the next second, Justin threw something.
“Bang.”
A crisp sound.
A small white ball landed in the middle of the crowd, bouncing against the blood-red of the dock.
Immediately afterwards, a dozen small balls popped out from all corners and bounced around in the crowd.
The Folsom family members looked around in confusion, and finally looked at Paige with doubt.
The ball.
Paige suddenly remembered what Rafael’s sister had said earlier. The ball must be something very important, and she was very afraid of it.
She stared straight ahead, and suddenly saw the white ball bouncing on the ground. After a few moments, the ball showed signs of cracking, and a wisp of smoke slowly seeped out from inside.
Aromatic incense?
Or poisonous smoke?
Paige was shocked, and quickly covered her nose and mouth with her arm, shouting, “Back up! Don’t breathe it in! There’s something wrong with this ball!”
Hearing this, the Folsom family members hurriedly retreated together, but it was already too late.
Paige believed that she had a certain degree of immunity to many common poisons, and she could even resist the interrogation drug TP1314. But this smoke… She hadn’t even noticed a strange smell, and her vision was already beginning to blur.
The evening sky became blurred and distorted, the colors like an overturned paint tray, without a hint of order…
No.
This is not good.
Paige forced herself to continue backing up. The dock was windy, and the smoke would be blown away in a while, she just had to hold on.
“Bang.”
“Bang bang.”
Everyone around the Folsom family fell one after the other.
In no time at all, the entire bloody pier was left with her the only one still standing, swaying unsteadily.
Everything in front of her was distorted, like a mosaic of circles.
Paige shook her head desperately, “Justin, what do you guys want?”
Why go to all this trouble to capture so many people, using all your ingenuity, but not killing them for the time being?
The smoke is so strong, why not take it out at the first opportunity, but wait until this moment to do so?
She could no longer see the true path before her, and cold sweat trickled down her forehead. She could only hold on desperately.
Justin’s weak and hoarse voice came from near and far, “You will know the answer when you get to that place.”
“What place?”
she asked, shaking her head desperately, but still unable to see anything clearly.
