Chapter 692 Martin Was Shot


    "The people led by Gareth were so busy that most of them were sweating. Sensing the tall man''s


    obvious contempt for them, they were irritated. The man looked at them and said, ""Mr. Harvey, we


    have been here for more than an hour. We have inspected the surroundings. It is basically safe


    outside. So, we would like you to cooperate."""


    "Hudson also knew that Gareth and the rest were unable to deactivate these bombs. Initially, he had


    wanted them to work together. However, the other party wasn''t friendly andpletely looked down on


    Gareth and his men. It was a really bad time for him to say anything. After all, they had been working


    hard."


    "Mr. Harvey, Madam Lilian invited the world''s top bomb experts. These bombs were all transported


    from the war-torn country. Your bomb experts should leave. Even if they deactivated them sessfully,


    there will be risks. Therefore, I ask you to cooperate and ask them to leave as soon as possible. We


    are pressing for time. Either you continue to let them work, or we will leave right away."


    "Umm. Hudson was a little stunned. After all, Gareth and the others were sent by Old Brooklyn. They


    had been working for so long. If he sent them away, then wouldn''t it ruin Old Brooklyn''s reputation?


    Just as he was in a daze, he heard a voice saying, ""Alright, please start immediately. I will get them


    back to the capital right away."""


    "Hudson gasped. He looked up and saw Calvin walking over. His arm was wrapped in bandages.


    Anxiety and relief struck him at the same time. ""Calvin, you''re back. What''s wrong with your arm?


    How''s Kate?"""


    "Calvin didn''t have the time to answer Hudson''s questions. He simply said, ""Dad, you should rest.


    Leave the rest to me. Belle''s mother has already been sent to the hospital."""


    "Hudson couldn''t believe that his son had returned alive. Although his arm was covered with gauze,


    Hudson felt relieved."


    "Calvin knew very well that the task of deactivating bombs was technical. These non-citizen experts did


    not wish for their techniques to be learnt by the experts in the country. Therefore, Gareth and the rest


    had to leave."


    It didn''t take long for the men Gareth brought to be given some money each and sent off in a diplomatic


    way.


    "Then, the bomb experts sent by Madam Lilian began to work."


    "Calvin, do you trust these bomb experts? Gareth and the others are top-tier experts in the country, and


    they have sessfully deactivated many bombs. If you let them leave, then... Jaqueline saw that


    Calvin had really sent Gareth and the others away and was a little anxious. It was not a matter of


    whose reputation was ruined. If these non-citizen experts could not solve the problem, with Gareth and


    the rest gone, then the consequences would be horrible."


    "The corners of Calvin''s mouth twitched. ""Jaqueline, I understand what you mean. Don''t worry.


    Everything will be fine."""


    "Well, okay, Jaqueline said reluctantly. Since Calvin had said so, she had to let it go. After all, this


    mansion belonged to the Harvey family."


    Yes. Calvin nodded indifferently.


    "Jaqueline pursed her lips. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Calvin turn around and


    walk forward. She followed behind and asked with curiosity, ""Calvin, are these people sent by Madam


    Lilian? Does this mean that Madam Lilian was nning to attend Sophia''s funeral?"""


    Calvin''s body froze and he stopped in his tracks. He remained silent for a moment before walking away


    without saying a word.


    "Jaqueline watched as he left, not wanting to go after him. However, a strange feeling enveloped her


    heart, and she became quiet for a very long time."


    "Time passed by. Tick, tock. Tick, tock."


    "As the sun set, it illuminated the mansion. The scenery was as beautiful as a painting. The birds in the


    forest were chirping cheerfully, interrupting the quietness in the mansion."


    "Standing on the top floor of Fragrance Garden, Calvin swept his binocrs across every spot of the


    mansion. His heart was filled withplicated emotions."


    He was waiting.


    "Yadriel had not seeded in obtaining the Ocean Heart and did not blow up the Harvey Mansion in


    time. He set the timed bombs at seven o''clock in the evening. Obviously, he was making a final crazy


    escapade."


    Aron stood by his side and was also waiting for Yadriel toe.


    "Rosa, are you afraid? Martin was still holding Rosa''s hand. He had not loosened it once. It was getting


    dark, and the bomb dismantling was still being carried out. He wondered what had made her choose to


    stay. Such a scene was very terrible to watch. She should leave as soon as possible."


    "Rosa''s mind had been in a state of chaos the entire afternoon, so much so that she forgot that Martin


    was holding her hand. She wasn''t even aware that he was leading her around like a puppet. It wasn''t


    until Martin asked her something that she finally returned to reality. At that time, both her and Martin''s


    palms were covered with sweat."


    What''s there to be afraid of? Isn''t Carme still here? Shouldn''t you go find her? Why are you here?


    Rosa was impatient and snapped.


    "Martin lowered his head to look at her. Sweat was beading on the tip of her nose and her face was


    flushed red. He didn''t know if it was because of the weather, or because she was so nervous, but the


    "The corners of his mouth curled up. He tilted his head and asked, ""Rosa, are you jealous?"""


    "Hearing this, Rosa''s face turned redder. She suddenly shook off his hand and rebuked him. ""In your


    dreams. Who would be jealous of her?"""


    "Martin smiled gently and said in a low voice, ""Rosa, I only care about you. It''s none of my business


    what others do."""


    "Unfortunately, I don''t need your concern, Rosa replied coldly, turning her head away."


    "Rosa, don''t treat me like this. If something happens tonight, then at least I can die in peace knowing


    that we had a rather peaceful time. Martin suddenly lowered his head and pleaded."


    "Rosa''s heart trembled. Suddenly, she felt an inexplicable pain in her heart. She turned around and


    refused to look at him anymore."


    Martin turned around too.


    "Just as he was about to continue teasing her, the bushes beside him rustled. Facing him was a pitch-


    ck muzzle, aimed straight at Rosa. There was a sound of a click."


    "Careful! His face suddenly turned pale, and he cried out urgently."


    "However, it was toote."


    He only heard the gunshot.


    Martin was mad. He quickly stepped forward and protected Rosa with his body. The bullet happened to


    be shot right in Martin''s back.


    "As soon as the gunshot rang, the ce became a mess."


    "Even though General Perry and Albie Williamson were both well-trained soldiers, they heard Martin''s


    scream and immediately turned their heads."


    The murderer was too fast.


    They watched helplessly as the bullet entered Martin''s back.


    "General Perry''s eyes shed with anger. He snatched the pistol from Albie Williamson''s hand and shot


    the murderer with uracy. With a scream, the man hiding in the bushes fell to the ground."


    "Seize him. Check if there''s any more of them! His experience told him that there should be more than


    one person hiding. General Perry decisively ordered, and Albie Williamson dashed out of the crowd."


    "At that time, the Xeqint arrived as soon as they heard the gunshot."


    "Look carefully! Don''t let the viins get away! Albie Williamson shouted at Luca, who had rushed here


    after hearing the shot."


    "At that time, the crowd began to stir. Another sniper then started to fire, and another person had been


    shot."


    "Quick, protect the guests. Luca began to shoot towards the direction of the gunshot."


    A gunfight began.


    "The gunfight that timested only ten minutes. A few people in the crowd were shot. However, the


    three viins hiding in the dark were captured."


    "Calvin was standing on the rooftop holding a pair of binocrs. When the gunshots rang out, he was


    startled and immediately directed the binocrs towards the location of the gunshots. Very quickly, he


    saw a scene that made him tremble in fear."


    The ce where their rtives had gathered was where the battle was taking ce. This was thest


    thing he wanted to see.


    "Quick, Aron, save them. Calvin threw away the binocrs in his hand. Aron hurriedly rushed to the


    scene."


    "Just then, Calvin''s phone rang."


    "When he was about to throw his phone away, Calvin saw that it was Yadriel calling."


    "He was shocked. Seeing that it was almost seven o''clock, he had to stop in his tracks, but in an


    instant, he realized that he was the mastermind of the gunfight."


    "Yadriel, what do you think you''re doing? he asked sharply once he picked up the phone."


    "From the other side, Yadrielughed sinisterly. His voice was as eerie as a ghost''s."


    "Calvin, I''m showing my gratitude to your family for ruining mine. Let me tell you, there are a total of


    twenty-two terrorists from the war-torn country. You captured seventeen of them this morning. Three of


    them have been hiding in your mansion sincest night. I''m sure there must be quite a number of


    casualties in your mansion, aye?"


    "The veins on the corner of Calvin''s forehead throbbed with rage. Fire gushed out of his eyes and his


    fingers, which were holding his phone, creaked."


    "Yadriel, you''re pathetic. Why do you involve civillians in this war? You deserve to burn in h*ll, Calvin


    bellowed, ring at his surroundings with red eyes. "N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    "Haha. Yadrielughed arrogantly on the other side. ""Let''s see who''s the one going to h*ll first. Before


    I die, your family needs to pay."""


    "Speaking of this, Yadriel stopped smiling and said in a cold voice, ""Calvin, do you think that you''ll be


    fine with Madam Lilian and those international bomb experts? Let me tell you, I have two terrorists with


    bombs on their bodies. How will you deactivate them? You don''t even know where they are hiding.


    Once I give an order, they will start the timer and blow up the whole ce. Tell me, what are you going


    to do?"""


    Yadriel''s words left Calvin dumbfounded. There were goosebumps all over his skin.


    "What do you think? Are you afraid? If you are, then obey me. Maybe I will make Harvey Manor a


    historical keepsake if I''m satisfied, Yadriel said with a smug smile on the other side of the phone."
