Chapter 342: Can’t Even Defend Myself or Others
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At the entrance of Lume.
After Howard fired a shot at Kyle’s subordinate, the onlookers immediately became restless, with fear evident on their faces.
After all, most of the people present were ordinary citizens. Although their family backgrounds might be slightly better than average, they had never witnessed such a scene before!
Therefore, it was normal for these people to appear panicked and at a loss in the face of this situation.
Even Connor himself was stunned in place.
“Help!”
“Help! Someone is trying to kill!”
“Quick, someone help! Save us!”
Cries for help echoed through the air.
All the members of the Phillips family took shelter inside Lume, seemingly afraid that Howard would shoot at them.
Outside the restaurant, only Freya, Maya and Priscilla stood behind Connor.
Howard, with an expressionless face, looked at Connor the others, directly pointing his gun at Connor. He grinned and shouted, “Miss Stephanie, you go first. If anyone dares to touch you, I’ll blow his head off!”
Stephanie glanced at Howard, without saying a word, she turned around and walked towards the parking lot.
Thomas and Kyle stared at Howard intently, their faces filled with tension.
Because both of them knew that once Howard went crazy, he was capable of doing anything.
“Howard, if you dare to shoot now, your life will be over, do you understand?”
Thomas shouted coldly at him.
“Even if I don’t shoot today, I won’t have a good ending in your hands. Moreover, protecting Miss Stephanie is my mission. Rest assured, as long as I can complete the mission, I won’t harm him!”
Howard licked his lips and shouted with a ferocious expression.
After hearing this, Kyle and Thomas couldn’t help but show a hint of helplessness on their faces.
After all, they hadn’t expected Howard to bring a gun, so they had no way to help Connor out of this predicament.
The bodyguards brought by Kyle stopped in their tracks when they saw Howard pointing a gun at Connor. They didn’t dare to continue obstructing Stephanie.
They were worried that if they really angered him, Connor would undoubtedly be doomed, and no one would be able to bear that responsibility.
Stephanie marched away in high heels, swaying her hips, and walked to the front of the Hummer. She glanced disdainfully at Connor, then reached out to open the car door and got in.
“Vroom…”
After she got into the car, the Hummer roared loudly and rushed toward the street.
When Howard saw Stephanie getting ready to leave in the Hummer, his expression visibly relaxed, and he was prepared to let go of the gun in his hand.
Since he had a weapon now, as long as Stephanie could safely leave this place, Kyle and his men would have no chance of keeping him there.
But just as he was about to put down the gun, a figure suddenly rushed out from the crowd.
He reacted quickly and raised his gun, ready to aim at Connor again, but before he could raise the gun…
A cold light flashed.
The next second, a dagger pierced through his wrist.
“Clang!”
His gun fell to the ground.
“Damn it, I was careless!”
At this moment, he had no mood to consider his own injury. He gritted his teeth, cursed under his breath, and then bent down to pick up the gun from the ground.
Unfortunately, by the time he reacted, it was already too late.
Carlos rushed to Howard in swift steps and kicked him directly in the stomach.
“Thud!”
Howard flew high in the air before crashing onto the ground.
Carlos was a professionally trained special forces soldier. With one kick, even a wild buffalo could be knocked unconscious.
Not to mention that Howard was just an ordinary person.
After he fell to the ground, he let out a painfully agonized howl and struggled to stand up.
Upon seeing this scene, the crowd was dumbfounded.
Carlos’ skills had completely shocked them. In their eyes, this kind of person seemed to only exist in movies, but now he appeared before them so vividly.
While he struggled to stand up, he managed to hold on for only a couple of seconds before falling heavily to the ground again.
He felt as if he had been hit by a truck just now. Every part of his body was aching, and he had no strength to stand up.
Kyle’s reaction speed was also very fast. He stepped forward and immediately stomped on Howard’s head.
“Mr. Connor, sorry for the long wait. Are you alright?”
After seeing Howard being subdued by Kyle, Carlos walked respectfully to Connor’s side and spoke in a highly respectful tone.
“I’m fine…”
Connor replied in a low voice, then turned his head to look at the Hummer where Stephanie was.
Stephanie saw Howard being kicked away by Carlos while inside the car, she was currently in a predicament herself and had no mood to care about his well-being. She could only urge the driver to drive faster.
At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind which was to leave this cursed place as soon as possible.
The situation had developed to a point where it was completely beyond her control.
“Bang!”
But at that moment, there was another loud noise on the street.
After hearing this sound, everyone shifted their attention from Du Shenghao to the location of the Hummer.
A white van crashed directly into the Hummer where Li Zhitong was.
The car door of the Hummer instantly dented, creating a spectacular scene.
“Don’t mind this car, just go!”
Li Zhitong knew that the van that crashed into them must also belong to Zhang Feng’s people, so she quickly shouted at the Hummer driver.
The driver hesitated for a moment, disregarding the blood on his forehead, and immediately stepped on the accelerator to try to restart the Hummer.
“Bang!”
But before the Hummer could start, a hammer smashed directly onto the car window.
The glass instantly shattered into pieces!
Following that, a small knife gleaming with a cold light was pressed against Stephanie’s neck.
“Miss Stephanie, get out of the car!”
A voice of a fat man came from outside the car..
