Chapter 277 I'm Taking Him Away
Amid the chaos of flying bullets, Natalie suddenly remembered the life-or-death struggle on the streets of Eldoria four years ago.
Those once peaceful and romantic streets were suddenly under siege by terrorists.
They attacked countless civilians. To save a three-year-old whose parents had just been killed, she dashed out of the safe house.
A bomb went off nearby, and no matter how fast she ran, she couldn't escape.
She and the child were thrown by the blast, and it seemed like the end.
Then, out of nowhere, a tall, broad-shouldered man shielded her with his body.
That was the first time she met Gabriel.
From that moment, she owed him her life.
He was in a Lumerian military uniform, his back soaked in blood, his face calm and determined.
Seeing that Natalie and the child were safe, he immediately went off to save someone else and helped the local police capture many fleeing terrorists.
That attack put Gabriel, the Lumerian soldier, on the terrorists' radar.
Revenge came quickly.
The second time she saw him was in an underground fight club.
He was surrounded by illegal fighters, covered in blood, full of wounds, and barely conscious.
Every time he stood up, they knocked him down again.
They wanted him dead!
The spectators were angry, but no one spoke up.
In the darkness, someone laughed cruelly.
"Look at this self-righteous Lumerian, so foolish and arrogant. Think you're a hero?"
"If you have the guts, keep fighting."
"Alright, if someone can get you out of here alive, we'll let you go."
They were sure no one would dare to step in.
But Natalie heard it. In the darkness, no one noticed her.
She rushed in without hesitation, attacking the illegal fighters' groins with lightning speed.
They screamed, and in an instant, the situation flipped.
Natalie hoisted him onto her shoulder and, under everyone's gaze, walked him out step by step.
The massive door opened like a palace gate, and the light from outside pierced the darkness.
Gabriel had already passed out. She handed him over to his companions.
This time, she repaid the life she owed him.
Her eyes blurred with tears. Natalie didn't know why she thought of Gabriel at this life-and-death moment.
He should never know that they met before their marriage.
She fell in love with him earlier than he thought.
Bullets flew, the sea wind howled, and the situation was dire, with every second fraught with danger.
Felix saw her dazed and shouted, "Natalie, take cover!"
Gunfire was relentless.
The oppressive victory felt more like torture, making every moment a living hell for her!
Natalie closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and suddenly raised her gun.
No matter what, even if she died, she had to die with purpose.
She abruptly turned around, crawled from under the reef, found a good position, and fired without hesitation!
She was sure her shot hit one of them in the shoulder.
She didn't kill because she was different from them; she was restrained and confident!
After all, she had learned professional shooting.
Natalie's counterattack, however, provoked their doubled anger, leading to even more intense retaliation.
Bullets whizzed past her.
She didn't dare to use up all her bullets at once.
She estimated how long she could hold out, a minute, maybe two?
Her life was about to end.
Felix was there cursing them fiercely, drawing fire away from her.
Natalie smiled faintly, her lips pale, and without hesitation, pulled the trigger!
Accompanied by a piercing scream!
The second shot hit a pirate about to leap at her in the leg.
Their furious momentum scattered their formation, surrounding and shooting from all sides.
They had no way out. Natalie knew that what awaited them was a dead end!
Felix stopped cursing and couldn't help but praise her, "Natalie, you're amazing. Your talent and ability have overshadowed your beauty."
Natalie responded with a faint smile, "No, it's mainly the beauty."
When Natalie pressed the trigger for the third shot, she was out of bullets.
