Chapter 125: Attacked

He didn’t want to waste any more time with Cole and decided to get rid of him tonight. This kind of person was a disaster as long as he was alive.

"I know," Claire nodded slightly.

"Rest for tonight, and we’ll continue tomorrow night," Alex said.

Claire nodded gently. "Then I’ll go take a shower first," Alex said and went into the bathroom.The night grew darker. The night breeze was cool and comfortable. The sound of water flowing in the bathroom was loud and clear.

Alex closed his eyes, enjoying the moment. Suddenly, he heard a strange sound. His eyes shot open, and he looked around warily.

"Who’s there?" Alex shouted in a deep voice.

Immediately after, there was a loud bang.

"It must be Cole’s accomplices," the bodyguard said anxiously.

"So soon?" Alex frowned, his expression serious.

Cole’s accomplices were indeed powerful, as they had quickly figured out the truth about the Smith family. Although Alex was furious, he wasn’t foolish and knew this wasn’t the time to dwell on it.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Suddenly, a series of erratic gunshots rang out, with bullets fired every few meters.

"Get down!" the bodyguard shouted and threw himself in front of Alex to shield him.

Pfft!

A bullet grazed Alex’s body and struck the bodyguard’s left shoulder. The bodyguard groaned, his face pale, as blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.

"Young master, I’ll hold them off. You run!" the bodyguard gritted his teeth.

"Don’t worry about me, you go first," Alex pushed the bodyguard away.

"Young master!" the bodyguard shouted, unwilling to leave.

Alex’s face turned dark with anger, and he said, "Hurry up! I’m not leaving you behind!"

These bodyguards had been with him for many years, loyal and reliable. How could Alex abandon him and escape alone?

Seeing this, the bodyguard sighed and turned to run. He knew very well that he couldn’t keep up with Cole’s accomplices at his speed. If he stayed, he would only be a burden to his young master.

After the bodyguard left, Alex quickly picked Claire up and rushed into Leander’s room.

Bang!

When Alex opened the door, he saw a group of bodyguards. Seeing that Leander was well-protected, Alex breathed a sigh of relief. He scanned the room and saw that Leander was unharmed, and his tense heart finally relaxed. It was fortunate that Leander wasn’t injured. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

Alex pointed to a bodyguard and said, "Take the young master with you and follow me!" The bodyguard quickly picked up the unconscious Leander, following behind Alex.

"Where are we going, young master?" the bodyguard asked, confused.

"Cole’s people have tampered with the surroundings. There may be many of them lurking in the dark. Everyone, follow me and cover us as we break out!" Alex ordered.

Immediately, the other bodyguards followed closely behind Alex.

The defense of Miller’s family villa was strong, and there were many bodyguards, so Alex wasn’t afraid of Cole’s attack. However, Alex understood that they couldn’t all retreat safely. He chose the safest way, having the bodyguards cover them while he took the opportunity to escape with Claire and Leander.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Gunshots rang out, and chaos erupted in Powell’s family villa.

"Help! Save me!" Shrill screams pierced the air.

"Young master, we’ve been exposed," a bodyguard whispered urgently.

Outside the villa, Cole’s accomplices were everywhere, and the situation was growing more dangerous by the second.

"Kill them all!" Alex’s voice was cold and indifferent. Being kind to the enemy meant being cruel to oneself. Since he had decided to deal with Cole, he had to eradicate them completely to prevent future trouble.

"We will," the bodyguard nodded.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Intense clashes erupted as sparks flew. Miller’s family villa was in chaos.

Claire, who had never witnessed such a scene before, was pale as paper, her hands gripping Alex’s sleeve tightly.

Swoosh!

A dangerous presence filled the air, as if something had shot in from outside the window.

Alex reacted quickly, rolling to the side to avoid the strange object.

The next second, several bodyguards rushed in from outside the door, surrounding Alex.

However, at that moment, a cry of alarm came from outside the bathroom.

"Something’s wrong! Madam has been injured!"

"What?!" Alex’s face changed drastically, and he rushed out of the bathroom.

He saw Claire lying unconscious on the bed, her pretty face pale, blood oozing from her forehead. There was a small wound on Claire’s neck, and blood dripped continuously, clearly cut by a sharp weapon.

"Damn it!" Alex cursed through gritted teeth.

He never expected that Cole would dare to lay a hand on Claire.

Unexpectedly, Cole had the audacity to attack his family. If Claire hadn’t been with Alex today, she might have been successfully assassinated by Cole. The thought sent a cold sweat down Alex’s spine. This Cole must be eliminated as soon as possible!

"Get me a doctor," Alex ordered.

"Yes," the bodyguards ran toward the stairs.

Alex stayed in the room to take care of Claire.

In the bedroom on the second floor of the Smith family mansion, Alex sat by the bed, anxiously holding Claire’s delicate hand and asking with concern, "How are you feeling?"

"...It hurts..." Claire opened her mouth and uttered faintly.

Hearing this, Alex’s face turned pale. He immediately stood up, ready to call for a doctor.

Suddenly—

Boom!

Accompanied by a deafening explosion, the entire mansion began to shake violently, as if doomsday had arrived, terrifying beyond measure.

"What’s happening?"

"Oh my God! It’s Cole people, they are attacking again?"

The Smith family servants were all startled and screamed. Alex’s face also changed drastically. This sudden violent shaking terrified him. Before he could react, another explosion sounded. His heart pounded, almost jumping out of his throat.

"Let’s go!" Alex grabbed a coat and ran out of the bedroom with Claire in his arms.

Bang!

Alex opened the door and was about to rush out but collided with a bodyguard.

"Young master, run! There’s an ambush!" the bodyguard said in horror.

"An ambush?" Alex was stunned. He carefully observed the surroundings but found nothing unusual.

"Young master, I heard gunshots just now!"

After speaking, Alex took out his gun from his waist and fired wildly at the bodyguards near the villa’s entrance.

Rat-a-tat-tat...

Bullets whizzed out.

In an instant, Cole’s accomplices fell one after another.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As the bodyguards became more ruthless, Alex continued pulling the trigger. Blood flowed like a river, and corpses piled up like mountains.

"Claire, hold on, we’ll be out soon," Alex said in a low voice.

Claire took a deep breath, trying to calm herself and control her emotions to avoid attracting attention. She knew she had to be strong—only by being strong could she survive!

Bang! Bang bang!

Suddenly, several cars appeared at the villa’s entrance, and the drivers began shooting wildly. In an instant, Cole’s men were knocked down.

Alex’s face tensed as he held Claire and hid behind a pillar, not daring to show himself recklessly. He cautiously looked up toward the entrance and vaguely saw several black cars parked there.

"Who sent these reinforcements?" Alex asked in confusion.

Claire bravely poked her head out and glanced in the direction of the entrance.

A familiar figure came into view. Claire furrowed her brows and exclaimed, "Nelson?!"

At the same time, the bodyguard beside them reported, "Young master, perhaps the commotion was too great and attracted the attention of the nearby Powell family."

"These people are from the Powell family—they’re here to help us.

Alex felt slightly relieved at the news finally there was someone to help him.

Alex looked down at Claire trembling in his arms, his heart softening. He spoke gently, "Don’t worry, everything will be fine."

He didn’t want to waste any more time with Cole and decided to get rid of him tonight. This kind of person was a disaster as long as he was alive.

"I know," Claire nodded slightly.

Claire’s beautiful eyes sparkled with joy. She thought she was doomed tonight, but unexpectedly, the Powell family sent people to help.

Bang! Bang! Bang! One bodyguard after another was shot dead.

"Young master, we need to leave now," a bodyguard reminded him.

Upon hearing this, Alex picked up Claire and ran out.

"Stop them!" a man’s voice suddenly sounded. As the voice fell, a group of armed men with guns rushed over.

Alex’s face was gloomy and fierce. He didn’t want to stay here any longer and just hoped to get rid of the pursuers as soon as possible

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Bullet after bullet cut through the air with terrifying power, sweeping toward Alex and the others. Alex leaped to avoid the bullets and took Claire with him into a street.

"Claire, hold on tight. Don’t fall off."

After reminding her, Alex suddenly kicked off and shot out like a cannonball.

Boom! Smoke and dust billowed on the street. When the smoke cleared, Alex had already disappeared without a trace.

On the other side, inside the Powell family villa, Nelson knelt in front of Old Master Powell with a pleading look on his face.

After a while, Old Master Powell sighed and said, "Nelson, it’s already the utmost of my benevolence to send people to save them. Don’t tell me anything else."
