"Bang!"

The dull sound of gunfire echoed near the Mercedes-Benz, a bullet precisely piercing through Demar’s brow.

The fear in his eyes instantly solidified, his body stiffened sharply, then collapsed helplessly onto the seat.

Blood flowed down his forehead, silencing him completely.

At the moment the gunshot fell, a piercing siren echoed from the other end of the street.

Helicopter rumblings grew louder as they came closer from the sky.

This was, after all, the city center, where support arrived much too quickly.

An Zai glanced at the helicopter overhead, a carefree smile appearing on his face.

He knew he couldn’t leave...

But that’s not important.

What’s important is that the boss’s revenge has been exacted, and his parents will have the millions he sent back, ensuring their future comfort.

No more worries.

He pulled a cigarette pack from his pocket; the blood flowing from his hand had soaked the cigarette. He took one and placed it in his mouth, the "click" of the lighter igniting a flame that illuminated his resolute face.

"Hoo~"

After exhaling a long puff of smoke, An Zai picked up the carbine from the ground, reloaded it, and launched his life’s final charge!

"Bang bang bang!"

"Brother Quan! Go!"

He hobbled over, shouting at the top of his lungs.

Fire spewed from the gun’s barrel, bullets swept toward the approaching police cars, causing two to instantly lose control and flip.

Given the situation, the best option was for one person to hold back, allowing the other to attempt breaking through.

With a bullet wound in his leg, his chances of breaking through were clearly slim, so he chose to sacrifice himself, leaving this chance for Brother Quan.

Brother Quan kicked away a ninja and looked back at An Zai and the already blasted open Mercedes, a smile curved at his lips.

"No way! I don’t ditch my brothers and run away!"

As he spoke, a streak of ferocity flashed in his eyes, swearing to take down this pesky ninja today.

He bent down to pick up the carbine, sharply jerked the gun, a "click" marked the magazine’s return, the muzzle aimed at the just risen ninja.

"Bang bang bang!"

A burst of bullets swept over.

An Zai froze, then laughed, his face full of blood: "Alright! Let’s take these bastards on!"

Even though the boss said it was permissible to be captured, there would be ways to rescue.

But causing such a commotion, even if eventually resolved, those directly involved would never escape the consequences.

Rather than a humiliating death, it’s better to fight to the bitter end!

An Zai dragged his wounded leg, firing while moving closer to Brother Quan.

He still had one grenade left, which would be their final end.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

Two helicopters had already arrived overhead, their machine guns turned and aimed at the two solitary figures in the street’s center.

At this critical moment, a sedan sped the wrong way from the street’s north, engines roaring like an arrow as it charged fiercely at the encirclement!

"Boom!"

The paralyzed police cars on the street were struck aside, and Niu Da shouted fiercely, "Here I come!"

The two turned to look, their expressions complex.

An Zai swore into his earpiece: "What the hell are you doing coming here now! Do you want to die?!"

Facing machine gun fire from the air, not even an armored vehicle could withstand it, let alone a regular civilian sedan, so Niu Da’s actions at this moment equated nearly to suicide.

But Niu Da remained deaf to everything, welding the pedal to the floor as he sped towards them.

At the height of An Zai’s anxiety, 800 meters away, a sniper rifle was already poised at the rooftop of a building.

"Bang!"

As Chen Wei pulled the trigger, the 10.36-millimeter bullet burst from the muzzle, cutting through the air as it accurately penetrated the helicopter cockpit’s glass, hitting the pilot right in the head!

The pilot’s head jerked forcibly, hands weakening their grip on the controls.

The helicopter, losing control, plunged instantly into chaos, its rotor speed plummeting, the body swaying shakily as it descended toward the ground, ultimately crashing with a thunderous explosion by the roadside.

Flames shot skyward, waves hurled nearby vehicles into the air.

The explosion had barely ceased before the other helicopter in the air began to falter.

Simultaneously, Niu Da’s driven vehicle had reached close, screeching to a halt, tires scraping the ground in a sharp arc, settling steadily beside Brother Quan and An Zai.

He swiftly tossed out two smoke grenades, then popped out from the car window, opening fire!

"Bang bang bang!"

The carbine fired wildly at the arriving police reinforcements!

"Get in the car!"

Brother Quan shouted, pulling open the car door and shoving An Zai inside, then jumped in the passenger seat, raising his gun for suppressive fire.

After firing another volley, Niu Da, without hesitation, chucked the gun aside and floored the gas!

The car sprinted forward, raising dust and smoke mingling with the grenades’ white haze, momentarily blinding the pursuer’s view.

An Zai gripped the car’s roof handle, his shoulder and leg wounds bleeding profusely, yet he continued to laugh wildly: "Old Niu, you damn hero wannabe, always waiting till the last minute to show up."

Niu Da’s cheek twitched in irritation as he cursed: "I was chased for two damn blocks by those patrol cars!"

Behind them, the police responded quickly; as they spoke, they were already in pursuit.

The crisis was not yet over.

"Barricades ready! Turn right at the intersection 500 meters ahead!" Da Pao’s voice crackled through the earpiece.

He, Chen Wei, and Eagle hadn’t retreated as planned; upon the unexpected change here, they immediately rushed to support.

Chen Wei and Eagle went off to find sniper spots, while Da Pao had "borrowed" a truck to set up barriers at the intersection, aiding their rear!

"Got it!"

Niu Da screamed as he steered sharply, the sedan skidding around the intersection corner, swiftly veering onto the right road.

As they passed through, Da Pao, prepped since earlier, drove the truck into the street, dropped a grenade, and swiftly jumped from the vehicle.

"Boom!"

The grenade detonated at the truck’s head, flames erupting skyward as the fierce blaze engulfed the vehicle, along with the dumped pile of steel pipes, forming a barricade at the intersection.

Having temporarily shaken off the pursuers, Brother Quan immediately took out his phone and contacted Brother Hei, asking him to prepare the getaway vehicle.

Next, he phoned Qi Yun to update him on the situation.

Though they’ve temporarily evaded the chase, causing such havoc meant the intersections would soon be locked down tightly.

Plans were quickly overshadowed by events; the firefight delayed them too long, providing the opposition with ample response time.

Safely reaching the escape point was no easy task now.

"I got it! Head towards the Triad’s territory! I’ll arrange for someone to meet you!"

After hanging up, Qi Yun immediately dialed Harris’s number.

"My people are being chased by the police. Contact the Triad folks and find a way to help them!"

"At any cost!"
