Chapter 213 - Short yet bloody

Alexander Han gestured his men to hold their fire as he grit his teeth. Enraged by Dragon's guileful trick alas, what can Alex expect? Dragon is a Don of a crime family, hence, it was given that he will use any underhanded means to obtain his goal.

However, Alexander Han must still be akin to a newborn beast that isn't fully develop. Thus, he didn't overlook this matter. Also, since it was an emergency situation -- he cannot be blame if he forgotten some critical facts about their opponent.

Soon, Dragon without any interruption boarded his chopper before it ascend to the sky and left -- just like that.

"D*mn it!" Alex cursed in distress for his incompetence. He could not believe that even if he exerted his best effort, everything were gone to waste. Shifting his bloodshot eyes towards Dragon's people who were left by their master, he commanded with authority.

"Seize every one!"

With that shout, roaring sound of continuous fire barrage and rife the whole rooftop. Some men took cover and protected Alexander Han while he on the other hand pulled his handgun then opened fire; venting his frustration to Dragon's men.

Of course, the black societies of the triad won't just back down and surrender easily. Granting that their master left them, alas, everyone knew that they were his mere pawns. Even so, they respected their omerta and was willing to die in Dragon's stead. After all, their deaths will not be in vain as their family will surely receive compensation for sacrificing their life.

Surely, soldier from the government and soldico in the underground world have many things in common in terms of their dignity and how they uphold their words. Probably, the only difference is that, people in the underground have a different view in the world and who should rule it.

The deafening gunshots permeated across the rooftop building, and other near high, towering premises. The shooting was short, yet, bloody. Since there is not a place to hide or for escape, Dragon's men was on the disadvantage. After all, Alexander Han's security were well-prepared in their full gear protection suit.

One after another, the group of retaliating men fall with multiple holes caused by the bullets penetrating their flesh -- tainting the concrete floor with a thick, and scarlet liquid.

As soon as the ear-splitting sound subsided, Alexander Han's men checks any breathing fallen men for the sole reason of ending them completely. Alex on the other hand, whose face was devoid of emotion as if the people he shot didn't quell his anger.

Just this time, Wren's voice rang through his earpiece. "Hey, stranger. Any updates on your end?"

"They got away." Blatantly and coldly answering Wren's inquiry -- Alex sounded more undaunted as a wicked glint flashed across his tantalizing nut-brown eyes.

"Damn it!" Wren could not help but swear yet, he wasn't implying nor blaming Alexander Han as he knew there's only small possibility they can save Seraphina.

Fortunately, Wren already expected for the worst -- thus, he contacted X and made an order about Seraphina's safety being compromise.

"Is Mr. X has his eyes on that chopper?" Alexander Han emotionlessly question through their transceiver. Wren on the other side was quite startled by his inquiry regarding X. Recalling his words earlier, Wren did mentions X out of desperation. Alas, what baffled him was that it seems Alexander Han knew X.

"Send its destination. I'll go myself."

"Uh, stranger, I appreciate your kind thoughts but my confidants are already on it."

"Mr. Tanaka, send me the destination." Yet, Alexander Han was adamant with his decision as he repeated the same words he just said.

"Tsk. whatever." Just then, Wren's figure came into sight from the only entrance of the rooftop.

Little bruises and fleck of bloods was seen on his face, his hair was quite messy indicating that he went through a brawl. Wren then raised his brows as he slightly tilts his head gesturing Alexander Han who's being surrounded with dark aura to head on the descending helicopter.

Alex slightly nods in agreement before he started taking stride towards the certain flying vehicle, followed by Wren who's brushing the dust off from his now creased suit, evidently annoyed.

"D*mn that Maxwell Han -- damn his whole family!"
