Jack and Celine continued with their sparring. Although they had already noticed the presence of the duo, they had completely ignored them because they never thought that they had committed a crime at that moment.
So, even though they were having police officers as spectators, none of them cared at all. Although it was a criminal offense to fight in the streets, who said that they were fighting? They were obviously sparring.
Just then, from the corner of his eyes, Jack noticed the moment that Brandon took out his gun before he aimed towards them.
This made him frown. From what he knew, as long as he was not having a weapon and wasn't attacking to kill, then, the use of the guns was not allowed.
With this thought in mind, he simply thought that the guy wanted to use the gun to intimidate the two of them after he saw that their fighting prowess was out of the world.
Although he knew that he would shock the duo that were observing them with widened mouths, Jack cared nonetheless. As long as they didn't interrupt the training session that they were having, then, he really didn't care what they were going to think of him.
But then, his expression turned ugly then next moment when he realized that the police officer was actually not joking the moment that he aimed the gun at them.
Even from a little over a hundred meters, he could clearly see the actions that Brandon was taking. And from the movement of his fingers, the way that his eyes were sharpened, as well as the expression on his face, he could tell that this guy was going to shoot.
Jack knew that he had to react as fast as possible before the guy shot. Although he didn't know why the guy wanted to shoot at them, the first thing that he was supposed to do at that moment was to make sure that the bullet didn't escape from the muzzle.
But just then, he noticed that Celine was attacking him. Since she was so focused on improving herself, she completely ignored the actions that were taken by Brandon.
From the way that Jack could read Celine's moves, he could immediately tell that the place that she was going to be in the next second was the one that was in the path of the bullet.
He had already noticed that the guy was aiming at him all this time just from the shifting of the aim that was pointed towards him with every movement that he made.
This time, he completely ignored the restrictions that he had placed on himself as he moved at a very high speed.
The next moment, he managed to pull Celine as he took her position. And in the very same second before he took her position, he could hear the female officer trying to stop her partner from shooting.
But, she was too let as in the next second, the bullet charged furiously out of the muzzle the moment that Brandon pulled the trigger of the pistol that he was carrying on him.
BAANG!
Accompanying the loud sound that came with the shooting, Jack felt an immense force hitting him on the right shoulder.
The force of the bullet was so great that it managed to make Jack, who had only taken the position and had yet to stabilize himself, to stumble forward.
Although he felt pain coming from the wound that he had suffered, at that moment, his eyes were frosty cold as he turned to face the person that had shot at him.
The murderous Intention in his eyes could freeze someone. And, it had managed to make Brandon, who was also stunned by the sudden shout from Olivia, as well the inhumane movements that Jack had made, completely petrified.
At this moment, Jack was gnashing his teeth as the rage that was in his heart boiled to the extreme.
Had he not managed to make the hurried movements to remove Celine from the position that she initially was in, then she would have been hit by that bullet.
And checking the trajectory that the bullet had travelled in, had Celine been in her initial position, then, there was no doubt that the bullet would have hit her on the neck.
And, that was a very fatal position to be hit, especially with a bullet that came from a gun that was only a little over a hundred meters.
There were no bones that were strong enough to ensure that the bullet did not threaten her life the moment that it hit.
At this point, Jack was not only angry, but, he was also extremely scared. He was scared at the fact that, had it not been for the fact that he was fast enough to react, he would have lost someone that was completely important to him other than his mother.
Other than Jack, there was another inferno that was ready to erupt from rage.
The loud bang that came out from the shooting had immediately brought Celine from her completely focused state.
She looked at the shoulder that had just been shot, the blood was already coming from the wound, socking Jack's white shirt red.
Her heartbeat was already crazy high at that moment. Although she was completely worried about Jack, at that moment, there was only a single thought that was running through her mind.
"You are dead!" She muttered coldly as she stared in the direction that Brandon was. The guy was still holding the gun in the original aiming position.
The thing that she thought she was supposed to do at that moment was, to get rid of the danger that had threatened the love of her life.
As such, without hesitation, she dashed towards Brandon. It was also at this moment that her potential fully exploded. Although she was already tired and injured from sparring with Jack, at this moment, there were no other thoughts in her mind other than eliminating the threat.
She completely ignored the pain, as she managed to cover the distance of over a hundred meters in just four seconds, a speed that would easily break the world 100m world record.
It was also at this time that Olivia reacted. She had been stunned by Brandon's actions. But the moment that she saw that Celine was actually charging at the already petrified Brandon, she knew that she had to do something about it.
Although she too felt the chilling killing intent, she managed to move due to the fact that the killing intent wasn't aimed at her.
She managed to move just in time to stand between Celine and Brandon. At the same time, she tried talking to the already infuriated Celine.
"Calm down a little! Don't he so rash with your actions." Olivia shouted, trying to talk some sense into Celine.
"You dare try stopping me from killing the one that dared to harm my husband? Then, you too can follow him to the underworld." As Celine spoke in a cold tone, she didn't stop at all and attacked the obstacle that was placed between her and her target.
Olivia's pupils contracted when she saw the punch that was heading her way. She knew that she would not be able to match the strength that was behind that punch.
As a result, she decided to dodge. Lucky for her, although Celine at this moment was strong, she wasn't thinking much when she was attacking.
So, the moment that she missed her attack, she made a follow-up attack by kicking at Olivia that was just getting to her feet after she had bent down to escape the punch that was thrown at her.
Reacting as fast as she could, Olivia managed to raise her arms and blocked the kick that was aimed at her.
Since Celine wasn't holding back when she was attacking, Olivia's arms could not managed to contain the force that was behind Celine's kick.
As a result, she was flung away with the sound of cracking bones.
Olivia rolled on the ground as she grunted in pain. Though, she didn't scream as she managed to suppress the pain that came from the pain that she was suffering from the cracked arm bones.
She wasn't willing to let Celine kill Brandon. This was something that she thought that, as a police officer, she had to do. Although Brandon had done a mistake by shooting, there was still a court that could take care of the judgement for what he had done.
But, the moment that she raised her head, she couldn't help but be scared. At this moment, just the little time that she was down, Jack had managed to arrive before Brandon and was holding him in the air by his neck.
Aside from his speed, having the ability to hold an adult man in the air using a single arm was enough to demonstrate that he was far stronger than ordinary.
"Please, don't do it." Olivia said in a begging voice as she struggled to get back to her feet. She still hadn't given up on the fact that she was an officer and she thought that it was her duty to save a life.
Jack, who was staring into Brandon's eyes As he tightly clasped the neck of the guy that was still kicking his legs in the air, turned and looked at her.
"There are some of the things that I don't tolerate, no matter who it is. And the one that I can never tolerate is someone that tries harming a person that I care about, especially my wife." Jack stated coldly.
The next moment, he used the powerful strength of his left arm to throw Brandon towards one of the walls of the alleyway.
Bang! Thud!
With a loud sound, Brandon hit the wall before he fell onto the ground. He screamed from the pain that came from having several of his bones broken.
Blood sipped from his nose and mouth due to the internal injuries that he had suffered. Jack wasn't the least lenient when he threw him at the wall.
He had only made sure that the guy wouldn't die from having his head blown up due to the force of the collision.
Brandon who was on the ground screaming, was forced to momentarily shut up as he was forced to shuttle through the air after receiving a fierce kick from Celine. At this moment, he had already lost his gun.
