Chapter 719 Chaotic Situation (24) Francis's Return
Cecilia stared wide-eyed at Gideon.
She had no idea that a handgun needed to be cocked.
Dashiell hadn't told her either.
Dashiell really hadn't told her.
He had indeed forgotten to tell her.
To him, it was common sense.
He only now realized that ordinary people wouldn't know this principle.
Ordinary people only knew how to pull the trigger.
Fortunately, Cecilia didn't know the handgun needed to be cocked.
If she had known. The moment the bullet pierced Gideon's head, they would all be dead now.
Of course, they probably wouldn't survive much longer anyway.
"I don't know," Gideon said.
Besides, Gideon didn't know she hadn't cocked the gun.
"You don't know either," Gideon added.
She didn't know she hadn't cocked the gun herself.
It meant Gideon really didn't want her dead.
And she really wanted Gideon dead.
He sneered, "Cecilia, you've really hurt my feelings."
Gideon's bloodthirsty eyes, at that moment, seemed almost tearful.
He said, "Goodbye."
He would never have so-called feelings again.
He gave a cold smile.
His finger slowly pulled the trigger.
The moment the bullet burst out.
Gideon's body was suddenly tackled away by someone.
The bullet hit the air.
A loud noise erupted.
At that moment, Cecilia truly felt death.
Her body went limp.
When really facing death, she wasn't as calm as she thought she would be.
She looked in panic at Augustus's actions beside her.
She watched as Augustus directly tackled Gideon, and the next second he was knocked to the ground again by the guards.
Before Cecilia could react.
Bullets burst out, crazily hitting Augustus.
It was as if all the anger was vented on Augustus; Gideon kept firing and firing.
Cecilia just watched Augustus fall to the ground.
Fall into a pool of blood.
He was riddled with bullets, not even able to utter a final word.
Cecilia's vision blurred.
She just watched.
Just watched as Augustus fell, forever.
Gideon finished firing all the bullets in his handgun, seemingly calming down.
He threw the handgun away, turned to Cecilia, "Are you happy?"
Tears kept streaming down Cecilia's face.
She looked at Augustus, at the motionless Augustus.
She looked up at Gideon.
She glared at him fiercely, with extreme hatred.
"Hate me?" Gideon actually laughed, "Good. If you don't hate me, how would you know how I feel inside? How would you know the pain I felt the moment you pulled the trigger!"
Cecilia bit her lip hard.
She glared at Gideon fiercely, standing up from the ground.
Between her legs, it seemed a warm stream was flowing.
Actually, when Gideon had pushed her to the ground, she had felt the pain in her abdomen.
But she couldn't care about that now.
She walked step by step towards Gideon.
Countless gun barrels were pointed at her.
Cecilia wasn't afraid anymore.
After all, it was death either way.
"You're bleeding." Gideon looked at Cecilia's figure, reminding her.
It was obvious under Cecilia's feet.
"Yeah, so what?" Cecilia laughed.
Gideon's eyes tightened.
He looked coldly at Cecilia, standing in front of him.
He said, "What, want to kill me?"
"Yes," Cecilia nodded.
The moment she nodded, Cecilia's hands directly grabbed Gideon's neck.
Using all her strength.
Gideon's face turned cold.
A suffocating feeling at his neck, he suddenly swung his hand.
Cecilia was suddenly thrown over by him.
Dashiell quickly caught Cecilia.
Cecilia fell into Dashiell's arms.
She whispered, "Dashiell, we have to die to stop Alaric from coming."
So, she was deliberately provoking Gideon now.
Only this way could they stop Alaric from coming!
Dashiell's throat moved slightly.
He thought, Alaric really had let Cecilia down!
He nodded, agreeing to Cecilia's choice.
Gideon might be reluctant to kill Cecilia, but he would definitely be willing to kill him.
As long as Gideon shot at him.
Cecilia could rush forward and block the shot.
Dashiell helped Cecilia up.
He was also covered in wounds, bleeding everywhere.
But at this moment, he could still walk steadily.
He approached Gideon.
Gideon's eyes tightened.
He sneered, and the moment he raised his hand to give the order.
In the room.
Suddenly, the sound of heavy weapon fire erupted.
Everyone crouched down upon hearing the sound.
At that moment, Gideon also hid to the side under the protection of the guards.
At that moment, Dashiell instinctively protected Cecilia, rolling to the side.
No one knew what had happened.
Until a man walked into the hall.
The person who came wasn't Alaric.
The person who came was Francis, who had left.
Seeing Francis clearly, Cecilia and Dashiell were obviously shocked.
How could it be Francis?
How could it be Francis, who had left and was already safe!
No.
Cecilia was really panicking.
She shouted loudly, "Francis!"
Francis smiled lightly.
He smiled very calmly, saying, "I'm not too late, am I!"
"Do you know what you're doing?"
"Of course I do!"
"Leave now!" Cecilia shouted at him.
"I told you to protect yourself, but you insisted on worrying about me," Francis said with displeasure, his tone frighteningly indifferent.
"Francis!" Dashiell also called out to him.
Francis said, "Stop talking, I'm not doing this for you, I'm doing it for Alaric. Anyway, if I don't come, Alaric will."
"Alaric would rather die than let you come!" Cecilia said excitedly.
"That's exactly why I came," Francis smiled, "It's not always him sacrificing for me, I can sacrifice for him once too!"
"Francis..."
"Gideon!" Francis seemed unwilling to say more.
He changed his tone and shouted towards the hall.
Gideon was hiding behind the sofa.
At this moment, hearing Francis's voice, his face turned extremely ugly.
What was Harry's relationship with them that he would risk coming back to save them?
Gideon angrily stood up from behind the sofa.
The moment he stood up and saw Francis, his face turned even uglier.
Francis was strapped with explosives.
Which meant, if they shot Francis now, they would all die together!
No wonder none of his guards dared to shoot, they had discovered the explosives on Francis.
Francis sneered, "You didn't expect my identity to be so complicated, did you?"
"Who the hell are you?" Gideon said angrily.
"I'm not telling you!"
"You!" Gideon was so angry his body was shaking.
Francis smiled brightly, taking a step forward.
Some guards wanted to shoot but didn't dare.
Everyone could only watch as Francis walked step by step towards Gideon.
