Chapter 702 Chaotic Situation (7) Pursuit
Everyone on the scene saw the handgun on the ground and the distinctive markings.
Gideon's face looked grim.
What he displayed at this moment was an inability to defend himself.
But he couldn't admit that this matter was related to him.
Alfonso fanned the flames beside him, "Gideon, Mr. Hotchner passed away early, and my father always treated you like his own son, often advising me to get along with you. He even thought about marrying Juniper to you. Is this how you repay my father?"
Alfonso's righteous words further accused Gideon of attempting to assassinate Tomas.
"This has nothing to do with me!" Gideon said bluntly, "I don't know what's going on!"
"Don't know?" Alfonso pressed aggressively, "How could you not know? The Yakurosean Empire's control over weapons is so strict now. How could it fall into someone else's hands? Gideon, you're still trying to argue!"
"If I really intended to assassinate Mr. Monroe, I wouldn't use a weapon controlled by my own family. I wouldn't be that stupid!" Gideon retorted.
"For all these reasons, I think it should be determined by the judicial authorities!" Alfonso didn't give Gideon a chance to defend himself!
Gideon glared at Alfonso.
Alfonso's eyes shifted, and he said domineeringly, "Men!"
The Monroe family's guards leaped forward.
"Take Gideon to the judicial authorities!"
"Don't move!" Gideon's face darkened, but his commanding presence remained.
With a shout, the Monroe family's guards were still somewhat intimidated.
"I'll go myself!" Gideon said coldly.
Alfonso gave a sinister smile and waved his hand, signaling the guards to step back.
Gideon glanced at Tomas and Alfonso.
He knew very well that saying anything now was useless.
Of course, all his actions were pre-rehearsed.
He cast a cold glance at the injured Alaric, who was being supported by others, his fierce glare hard to conceal.
In the eyes of the Monroe family, it was Gideon's anger due to Alaric's betrayal.
Gideon turned and left.
No one in the banquet hall dared to make a sound. Initially, they were frightened by the gunshot, but now, due to the development of the situation, they knew that with this turn of events, the two major noble families would inevitably become enemies!
Gideon had just taken two steps.
He gave a look.
The Hotchner family's guards quickly turned and blocked the Monroe family's guards from approaching.
Although Gideon walked on his own, many of the Monroe family's guards followed to monitor him.
Gideon's actions were an act of defiance.
At the same time.
Under the close protection of his bodyguards, Gideon quickly left the banquet hall.
The scene became chaotic.
The Monroe family's guards and the Hotchner family's guards started fighting.
Others, fearing for their safety, quickly hid and fled in panic.
The Monroe family had anticipated this outcome.
Gideon certainly wouldn't foolishly follow the Monroe family's guards.
He couldn't guarantee whether he would face a fair trial or a premeditated frame-up. Once imprisoned, many unexpected things could happen, so he would definitely choose to resist and then use the truth to clear his name.
In the chaotic banquet hall.
With the Monroe family's consent, Alaric led his subordinates to chase after them from another side.
He watched from a distance as Gideon's car drove past him.
He quickly got into a car.
A Monroe family guard drove, stepping hard on the gas to give chase.
Other vehicles were also pursued on the streets.
Of course, various vehicles were blocking the way.
The Monroe family had influence, and so did the Hotchner family.
Tonight, it truly was an internal war within the Yakurosean Empire, fully erupting.
At 10 PM in Astralton City, there were still many vehicles on the road. Such a chase caused chaos in the entire city's traffic.
Countless chasing cars were wrecked, causing great unease among the citizens of the Yakurosean Empire.
Alaric, sitting in the car, bandaged his arm simply while observing the situation outside.
He gritted his teeth and crawled from the back seat to the driver's seat, saying to the guard driving, "I'll drive!"
The guard was clearly struggling to drive at this moment, but was still somewhat suspicious of Alaric.
"Our goal is to kill Gideon. If we fail today, no one can explain it to Mr. Monroe!"
The guard reluctantly agreed.
He unbuckled his seatbelt and, while the car was still speeding, quickly switched places with Alaric.
As soon as Alaric sat in the driver's seat, he floored the gas pedal, driving even more recklessly.
With his top-notch driving skills, he crazily avoided all oncoming vehicles and obstacles, closely tailing the black car carrying Gideon, reaching extreme speeds.
The guards in the car with Alaric, all elite members of the Monroe family, were shocked by Alaric's series of maneuvers.
They hadn't expected Alaric to be so skilled!
They had many questions, but the most important thing now was to kill Gideon.
Everyone focused intently, not thinking too much.
After about ten minutes of chasing.
The car ahead was getting closer.
The car, forced by Alaric, couldn't return to the Hotchner Mansion.
They could only keep driving forward until they left the bustling streets of Astralton City, heading further and further away.
Until the car ahead had nowhere to go.
The two cars had left the crowd behind.
Both the Monroe family's and the Hotchner family's men had been left far behind.
The car stopped.
Ahead was a cliff.
Below the cliff was an endless deep sea.
At this moment, Gideon had been driven to the brink.
He opened the car door and got out.
Alaric also got out of the car, both sides holding handguns, facing off.
The numbers were equal.
Five people on each side.
Gideon said, "Alaric, you've chased me this far, stop pretending!"
Alaric's eyes tightened.
All the guards around Alaric looked at him with vigilance.
"You were originally my subordinate, you can come over now!" Gideon said coldly, "No one else move! If anyone dares to shoot, they'll all die!"
Gideon shouted at the other Monroe family guards.
Alaric gave a cold smile, "No. Gideon, I betrayed you long ago!"
Gideon's face darkened, veins bulging, "Alaric!"
"From the moment you took Cecilia away, I was utterly disappointed in you. I was originally loyal to you, but your actions crossed my bottom line. Now, I am with the Monroe family." Alaric said word by word.
"Aren't you afraid I'll kill Cecilia?" Gideon asked fiercely.
Alaric's hand holding the gun visibly trembled.
"Don't forget, Cecilia is still imprisoned by me. Don't forget, Cecilia is still carrying your child. If you dare to kill me, they will surely die!" Gideon threatened.
In the dark, empty night, his words echoed!
