Chapter 336 Bloody Chaos
"Help! Murder!"
"Protect Grandma!"
"Call the bodyguards! Call the cops!"
The Smith Corporation's relatives were in chaos at the sight of blood and dead bodies.
Women screamed and backed away to the door, while some of the younger men jumped away from the corpses in panic. Several guards drew their weapons to protect their employer.
Addison and her friends were pulled into a corner by Charles.
James also made sure Mary stayed with them, kicking two guns over to her for protection.
Bryan was after him, and staying close to James was extremely dangerous.
James couldn't believe Bryan was the one attacking him, especially in such a setting.
But remembering Bryan's previous assassination attempt, James understood his strategy. An ambush in the chaos was more likely to succeed than a direct confrontation.
James quickly made a judgment: Eagle Lady was bait for Bryan's attack.
"James, you have three seconds to get over here," Bryan shouted at him. "Or I'll kill Amanda."
He pressed his knife on Amanda's throat, holding her in front of him while stepping on Jane, who had fallen from her wheelchair.
Bryan slowly backed into a corner, making sure his back was covered.
The noisy hall gradually quieted down, with dozens of people staring at Bryan, their eyes filled with confusion and hostility.
About a dozen Smith Corporation bodyguards tensed up, aiming their short guns at Bryan's vital points.
"Let go of Grandma!"
"Let go of Jane!"
"If you don't release them, we'll shoot!"
The Smith family members and bodyguards pressed forward, shouting threats.
Amanda, her face stern, yelled, "I'm Amanda of the Smith Clan. If you harm even a single finger of me, the Smith Clan will kill your entire family."
Jane, struggling, added, "Everyone here is with us. If you hurt us, you won't get away."
Bryan ignored their words, focusing on James with a cold smile. "Are you coming over, or do I have to start?"
"Do you know who she is?" James pointed at Amanda. "She's a respected member of the Smith Clan. Try touching her, and see what happens."
Without responding, Bryan twisted Amanda's left arm.
Amanda screamed in agony, her cry piercing the air as cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
Bryan looked at James provocatively. "I did. What now?"
James was furious. "Try breaking her leg next."
Bryan stomped on Amanda's leg, breaking it.
Amanda screamed again, her body shaking as she nearly collapsed.
She had never experienced such pain.
James, enraged, shouted, "Bryan, you're a monster, treating an elderly woman like this."
Bryan twisted Amanda's right arm, breaking it as well. "Enough talk. Get over here, or I'll kill her."
Amanda screamed again, too pained to speak, unable to even curse James.
The Smith family members were stunned, unable to believe Bryan's cruelty.
James looked at Jane on the ground. "I'll come over, but let Jane go first. I owe her justice; she can't be harmed."
Jane's heart skipped a beat.
Without hesitation, Bryan stomped on Jane's knee, breaking it.
Jane screamed, her voice shrill and piercing.
Bryan coldly asked, "Are you coming over?"
Seeing Jane incapacitated, Amanda was furious. "James, I'll kill your entire family. Get over here now."
Jane glared at James, wishing she could strangle him.
James's eyes turned cold. "Bryan, you're tough, but I don't believe you have the guts to kill a Smith Clan member."
Jane's body went cold.
Bryan, merciless, stomped on Jane's throat, breaking it.
With a sickening crack, Jane's body shuddered, her eyes bulging, blood pouring from her mouth and nose.
Jane never imagined she would die like this.
Despite her anger, frustration, and hatred for James's treachery, her life force faded away.
The room fell silent, everyone staring at Jane's body in shock.
No one expected Bryan to kill Jane, the future heir of the Smith Clan's thirteenth branch.
Amanda was stunned, then erupted in rage. "You bastard! You killed my granddaughter?"
"Kill him! Kill him now!" Amanda headbutted Bryan, hitting his nose hard.
Bryan, in pain, his eyes cold, slashed Amanda's throat with his knife.
With a sharp sound, the knife cut through Amanda's throat, and blood spurted out.
Amanda didn't scream or struggle; she just froze in place.
Her eyes were filled with grievance and anger, glaring at James in shock and disbelief.
Amanda couldn't believe Bryan had killed her.
Her breath faded, her body losing strength.
Amanda's pupils dilated, her last image was James's calm smile.
'Bastard,' Amanda thought in her final moments.
Seeing Amanda die, the Smith family members were chilled to the bone.
Bryan didn't stop, leaping towards Mary.
James had anticipated this move, stepping in to block Bryan, his knife aimed at Bryan's side, avoiding Bryan's attack.
Bryan retreated several feet, swinging his arm to take down three Smith Clan bodyguards who had drawn their guns.
"Kill him!" The remaining bodyguards, unable to shoot in time, drew their knives and charged.
With Jane and Amanda dead, they had to kill Bryan to answer to the Smith Clan.
Over twenty bodyguards attacked in waves, relentless.
But Bryan, facing the Smith Clan's elite, showed even greater ferocity.
He didn't retreat; instead, he counterattacked with faster, more brutal moves.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
The battle quickly intensified.
Fierce attacks flew, blades flashing everywhere.
It felt like the apocalypse with blood splattering, or hell filled with an indescribable sense of death.
A Smith Clan bodyguard was cut in half.
A powerful attacker trying to ambush Bryan was kicked in the head, his skull exploding.
A Smith Clan member trying to shoot was stabbed in the throat.
Every time Bryan's knife struck, an opponent fell, either decapitated or cut in half.
The blood splatter made the scene horrifying.
In no time, Bryan had killed over ten people, his knife still gleaming, showing no mercy.
Bryan's ruthless disregard for life terrified everyone who charged at him.
But Bryan also had seven or eight wounds. In such a confined space, it was impossible not to get hurt, but it didn't slow him down.
After a few more exchanges, all the Smith family bodyguards were down.
Bryan had a new cut on his forehead, blood streaming down, occasionally blurring his vision.
The Smith family members, initially furious and waiting for the bodyguards to kill Bryan, now panicked and fled.
Dozens of people screamed and ran for the door.
"James! Show yourself! I'll kill you! I'll kill Mary! I'll kill all of you!" Bryan, bloodthirsty, killed anyone in his path, his eyes fixed on James.
Several Smith family members who couldn't escape in time fell, screaming.
James still didn't move, protecting the few Smith family members with him.
Bryan cut down a few more Smith family members, then charged at James and Charles.
He looked like a demon.
Just as James prepared to fight, a series of gunshots rang out.
The barrage was so intense that James had to duck.
The next second, Bryan's body jerked, a bullet hitting the back of his head.
Blood poured out.
James instinctively turned, seeing Mary holding a trembling gun.
