John looked at Jack with a confused look, Jack also didn't know what to say, before he had anyhow reasoned with Arther for not killing these people but now there was a slim chance of Arther doing it. And this time he also didn't have any reason to talk.
Jack looked at John with a wry smile and gestured him to stay there and not make any move yet. John nodded without further questioning as he knew very well what was happening outside.
The announcement made by Arther was also heard by others, everyone was first confused but slowly understood what might have happened and why Arther had asked them to take the guns earlier. Mey went to the living room and from the window, she tried to see the outside, when she saw a few men surrounding them holding weapons her legs gave up, while she was under shock Nanny appeared in the living room following Mey, she came there and was surprised seeing her mother conditions, she hurriedly went to hold her mother and helped her into the room where all the ladies were.
Both Abella and Jessy were shocked seeing Mey conditions and Jessy ran hurriedly to help her sit on a chair and passed her a glass of water, after drinking some water Mey also calmed down, .
Seeing her mom calming down Nanny was no more able to hold on to her questions "Mom, what happened to you. Are you ok?", Mey looked at her daughter's worried expression and had a wry smile on her face, due to her life experiences she has always been psychologically weak, any small thing might scare wits out of her. She didn't tell about this to anyone, her reaction now was also due to this.
"No need to worry about me, I am fine. I was just a bit scared.",
"Aunt Mey, what did you see outside that scared you so much?", Jessy looked at Mey with worried eyes as she has not been feeling well from the time Arther asked them to take out the guns, and now the MCV is being stopped for no reason and their father's serious expressions must have a reason. She felt very jealous knowing that her small brother Arther was slowly taking the lead over them and had become their leader, and now they were not even told about what was happening outside. Thinking about this she pulled Nanny to a corner, "Hey Nanny! don't you think that brat is ordering all of us?",
Hearing this Nanny knew Jessy was up to something so she decided to avoid her this time, "No, sister Jessy instead I think brother Arther is trying to protect us."
"Oh, is that so? and from what.",
"I think we need to know about the dangers outside too, we can't always hide here.",
"But, dad has asked us to be with mom and aunty", Nanny tried to reason with Jessy but to no avail. Without waiting for her to agree Jessy held her arm and went to the upper deck directly, she gestured to Nanny to try distracting Uncle John for some time, knowing what she wanted to do Nanny sternly rejected her.
"You better follow my orders or you know what will happen.", Jessy looked at Nanny with an evil smile which sent chills down her spine. After trying to ignore the look for some time Nanny gave up and went to her father. There she acted as her mother was not feeling well and hurriedly led him down, John didn't even have the time to notify Jack about this, before Jack could know about this Jessy made use of the time and directly entered the bunker in the front.
At the same time, Joseph was also done speaking and the gangsters slowly started to close in, Arther smiled at their foolishness and opened the driver window, "Hey guys, I am really sorry but I don't have any work for you, oh yes you can help me removing the roadblocks, I will pay for it."
Arther wanted to make them angrier to lose the logical sense, this will lead them to attack first, and then he can let his family practice hands on them, he was now also interested in looting the things these guys might have hidden in the church.
While Arther was doing this Jessy was shocked seeing the surrounding, both the front and back of the MCV were tightly blocked making it impossible for them to move, while more than 20 men's with weapons were surrounding them ready to attack at the time, while she was observing everything John returned to the upper deck seeing this she climbed on the roof to hide from him.
As soon as Jessy went outside the bunker Joseph and the other thugs spotted her, a flash of greed passed through their eyes and Joseph also lost his patience, without any further ado he gestured his men to slowly get closer to the MCV while he positioned himself in a way from where he can shoot at Arther, Seeing this Jessy knew she was spotted by them but didn't understand why these people acted in such a way until she felt their greedy and lustful eyes on her body she knew what they were up to.
She was sweating profusely as she hurriedly went down the bunker and under the surprised eyes of Jack and John she ran to the room where her mother and either ladies were. All of them were surprised and the most shocked one was Nanny as she has never seen Jessy in such conditions before. Feeling their questioning eyes she left the room and went to her room and locked it from inside.
Arther knew about all this from the beginning, he didn't hold Jessy back from doing that since in the future being a girl she will have to face such things more frequently.
At this time, Joseph didn't wait anymore and directly fired at Arther, but due to his bad aim, the bullet passed a small distance away from Arther and went directly to the passenger window. This was not the first time Arther has been in this situation so he instinctively closed the window and the shutters of the MCV, on the upper deck Jack's face went pale as he heard the gunshot and he hurriedly gestured John to go to the driver cabin to check on Arther while he hurriedly went to the front bunker and opened the insurance of the gun.
With a single gunshot, the entire area went silent, Joseph's hand was shaking a bit due to the recoil while all the gangsters were looking at him with a fearful expression, this was the first time they have seen Joseph use the gun. Seeing no movement from the MCV, Joseph let his men check on it, while he slowly walked to the driver's door while aiming at the window, Arther had already asked his father to not fire until he asks to, he also asked John to return after confirming his well-being, when the Joseph was a small distance away from the door, Arther immediately opened the door and before anyone can react pointed the submachine gun at his temple. Feeling the cold metal touch of the muzzle Joseph's legs and hand was shaking with fear while his forehead was filled with fear.
Arther walked out of the MCV and led Joseph to the open area on the roadside, as he left the gangsters also followed him carefully ready to attack him anytime, while all the gangsters were led by Arther the previous informer guy didn't follow them, he thought that since Arther went away he can capture the girl and car and leave here. So he secretly tried to open the door when a gunshot sounded and the soil at his feet was blasted out. Seeing this he knew they have hit an iron plate and didn't try to make any move anymore. It was Jack who fired to warn the gangster of his presence.
