Chapter 459 Evelyn Is Here
"Hi, Mr. Wellington."
Edward endured the intense pain, his handsome face covered in cold sweat, and turned his head inch by inch.
He saw Lloyd holding a submachine gun, grinning maliciously at him. "Didn't expect us to meet again so soon. Mr. Wellington, you're not here on the South Island for a vacation, are you? The local customs here aren't that friendly."
The henchmen behind him were all armed, looking at Edward with a mocking disdain.
Edward, the noble man who was once invincible in Mugden, was no different from an ordinary person in the eyes of these mercenary killers.
"Lloyd, surrender," Edward said concisely, his cold and stern face like a mask of frost.
At this moment, he could even hear the sound of blood gushing from his left shoulder, his breathing weakening, and he had no strength to waste words on him.
The killers burst into laughter.
"Alright, Mr. Wellington, I'm right in front of you. Come and catch me."
Lloyd tilted his head, his expression becoming increasingly sinister. "But do you still have the strength? Shouldn't you take care of the bullet in your left shoulder?"
Edward gritted his teeth but remained expressionless.
"If you delay any longer, your left arm will be useless. Don't blame me for not warning you."
Before Lloyd could finish his sentence, Edward suddenly raised his hand, pointing the dark muzzle of his gun directly at him!
The killers, seeing this, quickly loaded their bullets and aimed at Edward!
Both sides were on the brink of a standoff.
Edward was alone, but he remained calm under pressure. His cold and imposing aura made these killers wary.
Lloyd raised an eyebrow in surprise.
He truly didn't expect that, even at this moment, Edward would still dare to point a gun at him.
"Looks like I underestimated you, Mr. Wellington. You don't even care about your life, let alone an arm."
"I will fire this bullet in the last moment of my life." Edward was numb with pain, but his hand holding the gun was still steady. "I believe with my marksmanship, this bullet will blow your head off. If you don't believe me, you can try."
Lloyd gritted his teeth, his expression turning ferocious.
He had investigated Edward while working for Tiffany in the Wellington family.
He was not a simple man; he had graduated from military school with excellent grades and had won numerous honors in the peacekeeping forces.
Moreover, his ability to persist until now proved his exceptional marksmanship, rarely missing a shot!
"Mr. Wellington, my life is worthless, but yours is priceless. Are you willing to trade your life for mine?"
"Besides, if you die, how heartbroken would Ms. Taylor be, the one you risked your life to protect?"
Thinking of Evelyn, Edward felt a pain so intense it was hard to breathe.
He loved Evelyn, and in this life and the next, he wanted to be with her.
He couldn't bear to die here, but avenging her and making Lloyd pay with his blood was a different matter!
At this moment, one of the henchmen spoke to Lloyd in the local language. "The boss ordered us to kill him immediately after capturing him!"
"Exactly, with so many of us and so many weapons, we can't handle him? No matter how good his aim is, can he be faster than us? I don't believe it!"
Lloyd's eyes turned vicious. "Do you want to get rich and retire early?"
The men nodded eagerly.
"Then let's capture him alive tonight. This man is the son of the richest man in Mugden. If we take him hostage and ask his father for a few billion dollars, his father will gladly pay to buy his life!"
A few billion dollars? Everyone's eyes lit up with greed!
Although Edward didn't understand the language, he could tell from their expressions that Lloyd might not want him dead for now.
If he died, it would only be a release of anger. If he lived, he would be a money tree!
His greed was Edward's opportunity!
Lloyd waved his hand and shouted, "Capture him alive! We're going to get rich!"
The killers swarmed towards Edward!
Edward's left arm was useless, so he gritted his teeth and used his right hand to shoot at their hearts, killing them on the spot without hesitation!
Seeing their comrades fall, the ruthless killers continued to charge at Edward, determined to capture him alive!
A few billion dollars! Even a few million dollars would be enough for them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives, without having to risk their lives anymore!
And those who died were just unlucky!
Lloyd, cunning and sinister, retreated to the back, using the simple-minded killers as human shields to block bullets for him!
No matter how accurate Edward's aim was, his gun would eventually run out of bullets.
Then he would reap the benefits, capturing the billionaire Mr. Wellington and using his life to extort Patrick and Byron.
By then, they would have to pay whatever amount he demanded!
One by one, the men fell, and Edward's two guns, along with the magazines he carried, were all out of bullets.
Even unarmed, they were no match for him.
But now, injured, his combat ability had decreased, and he was at risk of being captured alive!
No! He couldn't be captured. Even if he was, he had to take Lloyd down first!
In a critical moment, Edward seized a gun from one of the killers and fired two shots at Lloyd without hesitation.
However, Lloyd, being very cunning, anticipated his move and dodged behind a comrade, using him as a human shield. The comrade's chest was pierced with two holes.
"Edward! I gave you a way out, but you chose death. Don't blame anyone else!"
Lloyd knew he had to kill Edward, so he raised his submachine gun, ready to shoot him!
Suddenly, a strong wind blew.
In the intense fight, almost no one noticed the increasing noise of a helicopter approaching.
Now, it was right in front of them!
"Lloyd! Dare to touch my man, and you die!"
A melodious and clear voice, sharp and fierce, descended from the sky!
Edward's heart pounded in his chest. He looked up at the night sky in astonishment.
He saw a white helicopter hovering in mid-air, with a rope ladder hanging from the cabin door.
Standing on the ladder, Evelyn's delicate hand held a gleaming Desert Eagle, her hair flying wildly in the wind. Her bright eyes shot out a breathtaking light, capturing his heart and breath.
The bright moonlight shone on her, making her glow like snow!
How many women in the world could be so stunningly beautiful and yet so terrifying?
Edward gazed at Evelyn's radiant figure, his eyes gradually filling with tears, and his lips involuntarily curved into a smile.
Evelyn had come. Evelyn had come!
