Chapter 318: Surrender
I fired three shots directly at the same spot on the man’s heart. He stared at me in disbelief, then collapsed, lifeless. His subordinates around him saw this and immediately raised their guns, aiming at me.
I calmly loaded my gun and coldly said, “You can try. Let’s see whose speed is faster—yours or mine. Just a reminder. There’s only one chance to make your choice, and only one life to live.”
As soon as I finished speaking, the men looked at each other, then dropped their guns and surrendered.
Moments later, hurried footsteps approached from outside. Thomas charged in with a group of beta warriors and asked, “Alpha, are you alright?”
I shrugged. “Do I look like I’m in trouble?”
Thomas finally noticed the scarred man lying on the ground and let out a relieved sigh. He quickly turned to me and explained, “Alpha, I underestimated them. I didn’t expect to be captured like this.”
“Their target wasn’t you, it was me. They clearly came prepared, which means they’re no amateurs. We need to stay alert from now on.” I wasn’t blaming him, but offering a stern reminder.
“Understood, Alpha. But the three million dollars are gone. They moved quickly, and we couldn’t catch up,” Thomas said, sounding frustrated.
Hearing that the money was gone, I instantly felt my anger flare. Three million dollars was enough to cover Drakon Claw’s expenses for at least three months. I couldn’t accept it to vanish just like that.
“Find out where it went!” I ordered angrily. “Those dollars are coded. I want to know where it goes.”
“Yes, Alpha. I’ll start investigating right away,” Thomas said, nodding respectfully.
Then, I signaled for my team to follow as we made our way out.
Thomas’s POV:
I followed behind Alpha, ready to leave, when I suddenly noticed the scarred man on the ground move. Slowly, he twisted his arm and, inch by inch, reached for the gun. He aimed it at Alpha.
“Alpha, watch out!” I immediately pushed Alpha out of the way.
But because I couldn’t shift into wolf form in the underground world, I wasn’t able to block the bullet in time.
The bullet grazed Alpha’s arm.
Seeing her injured, I was anxious and furious. Without thinking, I drew my gun and fired repeatedly, each shot fueled by my anger, until he took his last breath.
“Alpha, are you okay?” I asked quickly.
Alpha, still holding her injured arm, responded, “I’m fine. Let’s get out of here first.”
Suddenly, a Gamma soldier entered to report. “It’s bad, Alpha. We’re surrounded! We don’t know which underground organization it is, but it seems like they planned this. Every escape route is blocked!”
“F*ck!” I couldn’t help but curse.
“Alpha, you go ahead. I’ll hold them off. Leave these small fries to me. Don’t worry, even if I can’t shift into my wolf form, I can still handle them.”
Hayley’s POV:
The soldier’s report weighed heavily on me.
If I hadn’t been injured, I could have easily gotten away. But now, with my arm injured, it would be more difficult. In the underground world, not only can I not shift into my wolf form, but my wounds heal at a much slower rate as well.
After some thought, I quickly composed myself and ordered, “Thomas, we’ll split up. You go through the front, and I’ll take the back. Find a way to break through and don’t waste time fighting.”
Thomas nodded, “Understood, Alpha. Take more people with you. You’re injured, so it’ll be harder for you.”
“I know. Let’s go,” I replied, leading a small group through the back.
As soon as we stepped outside, we were immediately surrounded by the enemy. However, it seemed the enemy wasn’t aiming to kill us. The bullets whizzed by, narrowly missing.
But I wasn’t interested in playing their game. I quickly drew my gun with my left hand and fired several shots, targeting their weak points. After firing, I led my team to break through the enemy lines.
We kept running, not pausing for a moment, when suddenly the sound of a motorcycle revving approached. It screeched to a halt right in front of me.
“Get on!”
I froze for a second, stunned by the familiar face before me.
What was he doing here?
