Chapter 180 - Do the impossible (1/2)

”Baby, I --” Seraphina was so glad to hear his heartfelt words. Thus, she wanted to say her piece and just forget the world to his embrace. Alas, before she could do or say anything, a loud familiar sound of a gunshot ring on her head.

*BANG!*

Granting that she regularly hears that noise, alas, this time, it felt much deafening as her surrounding instantly went to a mute. She could neither hear the panic caused by the attack nor the voices of a few men in a suit while approaching them.

She just stood there -- frozen. Her eyes were fixed on the man in front of her as she saw him slowly knit his brows. By the next second, she could clearly see his red lips turning pale as drops of blood gradually taint the concrete ground.

'What...' Seraphina subconsciously questions.

*BANG!* Another loud gunshot resonated without any restraint.

Seraphina was sure that the bullet didn't land on her but she could feel an unbearable pain -- much excruciating than any physical injury. It began to limit her breathing after she hears another bullet sound penetrating someone's flesh.

”Sera!” Dragon shouted sensing the dangers that might come upon them. Alas, Seraphina seems to lose all her senses from the shock.

Slowly, Dragon pulled him into his embrace using himself as a shield. The blood cascading down his back was left unconcerned as he tries to protect his most valuable treasure. While Seraphina, on the other hand, was having a hard time processing the current occurrence.

Her hand involuntarily reached his back. Alas, feeling a thick liquid drenching Dragon's back, her eyes subconsciously shift on her hand. There, a liquid as red as ruby stain her hand.

”Master!”

By the time Dragon's men reach their standpoint, two bullets already penetrated their boss' back. They immediately pulled out their guns alas, they didn't open fire as there are still civilians in the vicinity. All they could do was surround Dragon and Seraphina as they guard them.
