    Chapter 997 Taking The Lead


    With a deafening boom, the tank opened fire, releasing its shell.


    The artillery soonnded and exploded, creating arge crater as it sted all the enemies away and


    stained the earth red.


    Unadulterated fear surged through the hearts of those who were lucky enough to escape the disaster,


    for they had just had a brush with death.


    “Honey!” Lucas did not expect Ashlyn to be so radical and violent.


    I can’t believe she just ordered the tank to open fire!


    “Apart from us, Dixon and Wilson, there are still two other forces out there in the forest eyeing us.”


    Ashlyn pursed her lips, her voice ringing in Lucas’ ears. “Can’t you just put a little more trust in my


    abilities, Honey?”


    “I just don’t want you to get hurt,” Lucas said as a shudder ran through his body.


    His fear came from the fact that he had someone he loved.


    Anxiety and terror gnawed at him, not because he was cowardly but because he instinctively wanted to


    keep Ashlyn away from danger and face all the remaining perils alone.


    He had prepared himself to stay behind and provide cover for Ashlyn’s retreat.


    However, he didn’t expect that not only did his beloved not want to retreat, but she wanted to fight back


    as well.


    Given the current situation, we are now the ones taking the lead. As for all those dead illegal


    immigrants in the old factory building, they have be the mostpelling evidence for us to use


    against Dixon. If the evidence falls into the hands of any other forces or is destroyed, Dixon may once


    again escape justice. Apart from that, we could also be cannon fodder for any of these forces.

    With that thought in mind, Lucas no longer hesitated and sprinted toward a tall tree before making his


    way to the top of it. His eyes were gleaming with fierce determination as he pulled out his gun and


    raised his binocrs.


    He then raised his gun and aimed at the leaders of the newly arrived forces, shooting them one by one


    with deadly uracy.


    The sudden barrage of fire caught the other party off guard, and almost everyone started to retreat.


    Unable to get any closer, they could only lie down on the side and shoot from a distance.


    Cassandra gaped at Lucas, stunned beyond words. Those people were at least fifty or sixty meters


    away from us, yet he was able to take them out with a single shot each?


    Her confidence as a shooting champion was once again shattered by Lucas’ action.


    With wide eyes, she muttered at Spencer, “I’m aware of how incredible Boss’ marksmanship is, but I


    didn’t expect Mr. Nn to be so awesome at it as well.”


    In response, thetter cleared his throat lightly and remarked, “Well… he is the guy who won the


    amateur shootingpetition in Maredania two years ago, after all.”


    Cassandra was rendered speechless when she heard that.


    Back when I was the official shooting champion of the national team, I remembered there was also an


    amateur shootingpetition held in Maredania the year I won the championship. At the time, it was


    said that there was a champion who could hit the bullseye without fail, which was a really impressive


    feat. However, since it was in the amateur category, it didn’t garner much attention.


    All of a sudden, Cassandra felt that her title of shooting champion of the national team meant nothing in


    the face of Lucas’ skill, who was but a mere amateur shooting champion.


    She praised, “Mr. Nn’s skills are so d*mn impressive!”


    Boss and Lucas are like a power couple who can do anything!


    Meanwhile, almost every one of the newly arrived forces had dropped to the ground.


    As the crowd started thinning out in the front row, a man in ck suddenly appeared from behind when


    he saw hisrades dropping like flies. In a deep voice, the man uttered, “They’ll definitely escape if


    this goes on.”


    Another man chimed in, “This is our best chance to kill that woman, Ashlyn. After all, Silvermoon has


    special feelings for her and has been reluctant to kill her.”


    “Go, Sebastian. Kill her!” The man’s voice rang out, his tone cold and dripping with malice. “We mustn’t


    let her live!”


    “Understood!”


    When a man in ck not far away heard the words, he immediately leaped toward a tree in one fluid


    motion. With just a few jumps, the man soon disappeared from everyone’s sight.


    The forest’s temperature seemed to drop and the surrounding became darker as the biting wind blew


    through the midnight air.


    Meanwhile, Ashlyn and Lucas were both holding a gun with the muzzles pointed at the front, firing


    fiercely and killing an enemy with each shot.


    “Take a break, Honey. Let me take care of this!” Lucas said with a fierce and dominant look that


    resembled that of a lone wolf as the corners of his lips curved into a smile.
