Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

451 Trouble at the party (5)

While the Xu men were standing there and not knowing how to react, the First Lady’s guard had gotten up and ran to their Boss. One of the guards had already carried her in his arms, ready to leave for the hospital, but the Xu men wouldn’t allow them.1

One of them was sent home to inform Davis, so they were waiting to hear what Davis would say.

Angered by the Xu men’s audacity, the First Lady’s guards started fighting the Xu men and other guards that were stationed around the hall also got involved, further creating a bigger mess and disorganization in the hall.

This was the opportunity Code 5 was waiting for. Once he got the chance, he asked help from a young man to untie the rope.

Once Code 5 was freed, he punched the two nearest Xu men, robbing them of their guns and killing them.

“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!…”

The hall froze when the sound of gunshots was repeatedly heard. They’ve been fighting with fists since they probably forgot the use of guns, or they were trying to minimize the killing of innocent people.

Whatever their reasons were, Code 5 broke that as the sound of his gunshot travelled everywhere.

With him leading the way, the Xu men also started shooting, killing whoever got in the way of their flying bullets. They didn’t care about who was dying.

Meanwhile, Maverick heard the gunshots from outside the door. He was still following the waiter to get water.
