Chapter 703 The Chaotic Situation (8) Ultimately Chose Cecilia
Alaric's face was extremely grim.
The handgun he was gripping tightly was trembling.
"Alaric. If you come back to me now, I can forgive your past mistakes!" Gideon enticed.
Alaric and Gideon locked eyes.
Gideon said, "No one here wants to die. If you all put down your weapons and follow me, I promise you won't be mistreated!"
The Monroe family's guards were naturally not going to surrender easily.
They still pointed their guns at Gideon but didn't dare to act rashly.
They knew very well that whoever moved would become a target and die for sure.
No one was unafraid of death.
The standoff continued.
No one dared to make any move.
After waiting for a while, Gideon said harshly to Alaric, "Alaric, are you really going to ignore Cecilia and your child's lives?"
Alaric was visibly shaken.
He kept staring at Gideon.
Gideon said coldly, "You don't even care about your own child. Are you still a man? Alaric, if Cecilia and the baby in her womb die, can you live the rest of your life in peace?"
Alaric gritted his teeth, his face darkened.
His bloodshot eyes glared fiercely at Gideon.
"I told you, if you follow me again, I will absolutely forgive your past mistakes and even reunite your family!" Gideon said firmly, sounding sincere.
Alaric's eyes flickered, struggling for a long time.
He suddenly put down his handgun.
The Monroe family's guards looked at Alaric, glaring at him.
Gideon watched Alaric's actions, a triumphant smile on his lips.
It was clear that Alaric had been subdued.
"No one else move!" Gideon ordered the Monroe family guards, "If any of you dare to shoot, everyone will die!"
At this moment, no one else dared to move.
After putting down his handgun, Alaric walked step by step towards Gideon.
Gideon gave a cold smile.
He said, "Alaric, a wise man knows when to submit to circumstances. Follow me..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Alaric suddenly lunged at Gideon.
The sudden movement triggered a battle on the verge of breaking out.
Gunfire erupted.
Alaric wrestled with Gideon, rolling on the ground for a few seconds.
Then he used a hidden blade, pressing it directly against Gideon's neck, "Don't move!"
He shouted loudly.
At this moment, the guards on both sides had already taken cover behind their respective cars.
The two gunshots just now had resulted in two deaths on each side.
The air was filled with the smell of blood.
Alaric's shout stopped the gunfire.
Both sides were in a standoff.
"Gideon is under my control. If any of you dare to shoot, I'll kill him immediately!" Alaric shouted.
In the silence of the wilderness, there was no sound.
Alaric controlled Gideon and stood up from the ground.
Gideon's face was extremely grim. "Alaric, how dare you threaten me!"
"I told you, I am with the Monroe family!"
"Do you really not care about Cecilia and your child?" Gideon said angrily.
"We've come this far, how can I care for them? Even if I go back with you now, the result will be the three of us dying together! I'm not that foolish!"
"Cecilia will hate you for the rest of her life!"
"She will understand. From the moment you took her, from the moment I let her go, she already knew the final outcome."
"You are truly cruel." Gideon was trembling with anger.
"We are the same kind of people." Alaric was indifferent.
"Alaric, I'll say it again, if you let me go now, I guarantee your family's safety!" Gideon did not give up.
Alaric laughed. He said, "Gideon, you should stop wasting your breath. Let's put it this way, Cecilia is no longer important to me."
Gideon's eyes tightened.
"Mr. Monroe intends to pair me with Juniper," Alaric said word by word.
"You are truly shameless!" Gideon mocked, "Sacrificing Cecilia and your child to gain your happiness?"
"If it were you, you'd make the same choice," Alaric sneered, "No man would refuse power. Otherwise, the two major noble families wouldn't have ended up in this situation!"
"You!"
"I don't want to waste any more words with you!" Alaric said fiercely, shouting at Gideon's bodyguards hiding behind the car, "Come out!"
Gideon's bodyguards did not move.
Alaric pressed the blade harder, drawing blood from Gideon's neck, "If you don't come out, I'll kill Gideon!"
Gideon's eyes tightened, "Come out!"
Clearly, Gideon's men only followed his orders.
The bodyguards slowly peeked out from behind the car.
As soon as they did, the Monroe family's guards opened fire wildly.
At that moment, Alaric was also in the line of fire from the Monroe family, and the guards didn't care about Alaric's life or death.
Such a frenzied barrage.
Alaric was forced to roll on the ground with Gideon again.
The battle erupted once more.
After rolling on the ground, Gideon quickly took cover behind a car.
Alaric lunged at him again, and they fought hand-to-hand.
Alaric had undergone rigorous training.
Gideon surprisingly also had strong combat skills.
Each punch and kick from both men was lethal.
Gunfire continued around them.
More and more people feel.
Until only one guard from the Monroe family was left.
It was clear that the Hotchner family had been defeated.
Gideon noticed this.
In that moment of distraction, Alaric kicked him to the ground.
Gideon fell but didn't dare to stay down. As Alaric's foot came down, he quickly rolled to the side.
Alaric kept closing in.
The last Monroe family guard kept shooting at Gideon.
Gideon was cornered.
Finally, he leaped off the cliff.
As he jumped, the Monroe family guard shot Gideon.
Gideon fell off the cliff.
Alaric and the last guard walked to the edge of the cliff.
It was dark.
Nothing could be seen below.
Only the sound of the raging sea could be heard, stretching endlessly below.
Alaric's face was tense.
He had let Gideon go.
Countless times, he could have killed Gideon, but in the final moment, he held back.
Because he knew, Cecilia had not been rescued.
Cell phones were not allowed in the banquet hall, but after leaving the hall, he had placed his phone in the car. While pretending to bandage himself, he had seen the message from Dashiell.
In the end, he chose Cecilia.
Perhaps his reputation would suffer, but he had no regrets!
Behind him, Alaric heard the Monroe family guard reporting on the phone, "Mr. Monroe, Gideon has fallen off the cliff and is dead."
