Chapter 27 - Ainsley (Part 3)

Ainsley leaned against the wall, trying to catch her breath to calm her body's soaring adrenaline again.

Ainsley stood up, pointing the barrel of the gun directly at the gunman who was standing about ten feet from where she was.

Tkk ...

Ainsley had not yet had time to pull the trigger of the gun, the man who was holding an AK-SOPMOD type weapon collapsed with a hole between his eyeballs shortly after the sound of a bullet from a sniper rifle type weapon with a silencer[1] at the end of the barrel was heard.

Ainsley looked back and saw David running while holding his favorite sniper rifle. David jumped over the wooden crates and fired another shot very quickly, knocking another person down with the same bullet hole; that is, between his eyeballs.

This isn't the first time Ainsley has seen David do something beyond human reason like that.

In general, a sniper will stay in a position unknown to his enemy and shoot from a considerable distance. But not for David, the man kept running, jumping and ducking dodging bullets from various directions while continuing to fire his sniper just by looking at his binoculars for less than a second.

Quick-scope[2], that's what David did. A shooting technique that is beyond human reasoning, and only two people in the Underworld can do it, namely David and Steve.

Even Hendrick Brasco couldn't do something like that.

David pulled the lever beside his sniper to place the bullet into the barrel so that it was ready to fire again.

David aimed his rifle at Ainsley, rendering the woman stunned. His heart stopped beating for a split second as David pulled the trigger of the sniper, the sound of a muffled shot by the silencer[1] at the end of the barrel sounded like Ainsley's ticket to the afterlife.

In shock, Ainsley could not close her eyes which were open so wide.

Several strands of Ainsley's loose hair fell as a result of the shot from David's sniper. A person who was a few meters behind Ainsley was collapsed with one eye hit by a bullet from the CheyTac Intervention .408 sniper rifle-type held by David.

David gave a dissatisfied look, "Damn, why did I missed that shot?! Looks like I have to practice more."

Aisnley became even more silent at David's complaints. He fired a bullet from a sniper rifle without looking at the scope and managed to knock out the opponent in one shot, but David was very dissatisfied that the bullet didn't land where it normally was; that is, right between the opponent's eyeballs.

David reloaded his sniper ammunition and started running again to do what he had been doing.

Someone jumped up and hugged Ainsley's waist out of nowhere, dragging her along on the ground with him.

Bang! ... Bang! ... Bang! ... Bang! ...

The wall where Ainsley was standing previously was showered with bullets by at least three sub-machine guns. Ainsley opened her eyes and the person who hugged her waist while jumping and dragging her along the ground was Steve Stiffler, one of the strongest generals of the Hendrick Brasco mafia syndicate.

"Th-thank you." said Ainsley, looking back into Steve's eyes which were only less than an inch away from her.

"Don't thank me, I just don't want David to throw a tantrum because you died." Steve replied coldly who was back on his feet and fired three shots from his silver D'Eagle pistol. As expected of the man who taught David how to wield a gun, the three bullets that he shot killed all three enemies.

That means he didn't miss one bit. Even though the enemy's position was very closed and protected, Steve knocked them down through small gaps in their shelter. In fact, the gap was so small it could only be passed by a bullet with a diameter of at least under a cubic centimeter.

"If you feel that you are no longer able to continue fighting, find a place to hide. That way at least you have helped David by not dying on the battlefield. Apart from his demonic figure on the battlefield, he is also a human who can be sad if one is his precious friend lost her life. "

Ainsley swallowed hard. The words spoken by Steve were cold and piercing. But this time Ainsley wouldn't run away like that time. Ainsley will continue to fight as hard as she can. Even though she knew, no matter how hard she tried, she would only remain in David's shadow.

Ainsley can accept that condition. For her, even though she had to stay under David's shadow, at least she wasn't just sitting around letting David fight alone.

The battle this time is a very decisive battle for the mafia syndicate Hendrick Brasco. Today is the day when all mafia groups in the West and North Coast have allied to remove Hendrick Brasco from the seat of the highest throne in the Underworld.

If they lose, then everything Hendrick Brasco has been fighting for so far will be wasted, making him have to climb the hill of glory again from zero.

But if they win, then it is certain that the name Hendrick Brasco will be printed in the history of the Underworld and his name will continue to be feared even after he is gone.

And the benefits they will get are also not something that can be underestimated. With the fall of the West and North Coast regions, it would make the main weapons trade route of the Underworld completely his.

If it's like that, the Hendrick Brasco mafia syndicate can even create their own country from the transaction money they will get.

Ainsley got up after gathering her courage. Even if she can't do much, at least she should do something even if all she does is a small thing.

She doesn't care about his contribution to the mafia syndicate Hendrick Brasco, thinking that she is doing whatever she can to help David on the battlefield.

David is like a magnet, this sadistic man full of charisma has been the only reason why Ainsley wants to get back on her feet and fight back against the fate that has played with her life.

Without David, maybe Ainsley would just end up being a gratifying tool that would be thrown in the trash when it couldn't be used.

Yes, David is a beacon of light for Ainsley's very dark life.

Ainsley stopped the Ducati Monster motorbike she was driving exactly a few meters in front of a man who was leaning against the hood of a Lamborghini Veneno while enjoying his nicotine sticks.

The woman got off her motorbike, took off her full-face helmet and made her blonde hair fall down beautifully. Walk towards the man who just stubbed out his cigarette by throwing it on the ground and extinguishing the remaining coals with the sole of his shoes.

Ainsley zipped the black jacket down and pulled out a brown envelope from under the jacket.

Ainsley smiled broadly, "To my surprise, the Demon Prince of the Underworld needs my help."

The man was David Stockholm, the man who had been the lamp of light in her life.

"Your smile can always give me goosebumps, Brother David." said the blonde woman, making David turn his head.

David raised his hand and ruffled her hair lightly, making her chuckle.

Who is that woman?

Why did he call David 'Brother'?

And David didn't mind that at all. Even David was casual with her, as if they had been close for a long time.

Just who it was, the blonde haired woman who provided information to David about the top three people on David's list of targets for revenge, and was very relaxed with the person who the mafia in the Underworld highly respected.

Who is she?

And all those questions have been answered. That woman is Ainsley. It was the girl David had saved, and it was David who had given her the light of hope to restart her ruined life once again.

Author's Note :

[1] Silencer : A tool to reduce the sound of a firearm, usually in the form of a tube and mounted on the end of the gun barrel.

[2] Quick-scope: The technique of shooting a sniper rifle by glancing at the sights and immediately pulling the trigger of the weapon to release the bullet. It is almost the same as the snapping technique, but the bullet is fired immediately as soon as the eye is in front of the sights. In other words, shoot by pulling, placing the point of aim at the opponent and immediately shoot in a very fast time. Usually a shot is categorized as a quick-scope technique if the time lag between aiming the aiming point and releasing the bullet is not more than one second.

For David and Steve's class, they can do it in zero point two seconds.

This is the final chapter of David and Ainsley's past. After this the time setting will return when David is married to Angeline.. Happy waiting for sweet things from the David-Angel couple to come back, hehe. :)
