Chapter 430: Chapter 418 Debut

Brian suddenly shouted urgently, and as soon as Brian yelled for attention, Yang Yi and Lachie instantly dropped their cigarettes and swiftly raised their guns to aim at the building.

Brian’s shout was broadcast through the walkie-talkie to everyone’s ears.

One of Jethro’s men, holding a case, had walked up to the other party. Just as he was raising the case and as the other party was about to take it, Brian shouted, prompting him to immediately put down the case and look up at the building.

Yang Yi quickly aimed his gun at the building, while at the same moment Brian commanded in a stern voice, "Question their intentions! Boss, take cover!!"

Yang Yi had already seen several people appearing on the fifth floor of the six-story building. They were moving, which was fine, but crucially, Yang Yi saw someone with a gun, and after raising it, they extended it downwards.

If this hadn’t been a negotiation, Yang Yi would have fired long ago. But the problem was, Jethro was negotiating with the other party, and Yang Yi had no idea what the negotiation was about. Even if people with unclear intentions appeared upstairs, he couldn’t fire unless Jethro explicitly ordered them to.

Just then, at least seven or eight more people appeared upstairs, each with a gun in hand.

Jethro and the negotiation party were downstairs, close to the building. The people hiding upstairs could only lean out to shoot downwards, so when at least a dozen people were seen simultaneously aiming their guns outside, they could no longer wait, regardless of those people’s intentions.

"Fire."

"Fire now!"

"Fire!"

Yang Yi, Lachie, and Brian all shouted together because they made the same judgment—regardless of what Jethro’s negotiation partner intended to do, it was necessary to fire now. If they waited any longer and those people’s target was Jethro, he would certainly be dead.

Yang Yi’s gun fired, and the person he aimed at plummeted headfirst from the building, landing near Jethro.

There were sounds of crackling gunfire around Yang Yi—those were people from the building firing at them.

Jethro was still attacked; he turned his head and ran, while the person who was just conversing with him looked up at the building, only to be struck down by the people above.

Jethro’s bodyguards shoved him from behind as they ran fiercely, but the man holding the briefcase had just moved when he collapsed to the ground.

Yang Yi crouched down; he leaned against the car, raised his gun quickly to scan, and then he saw someone. But before he could fire, that person quickly retreated back in.

Zhang Yong yelled, "Get down..."

As Zhang Yong shouted, Jethro and his bodyguards immediately leapt forward and plunged to the ground, and only after they were down did Zhang Yong finish his warning.

"Grenade!"

Although Zhang Yong’s warning came through the walkie-talkie, Jethro’s response was extremely prompt. Right as he laid down, four grenades exploded almost simultaneously, the nearest one just three to four meters from Jethro. Had he still been standing, he would have been either dead or severely injured.

Jethro and the bodyguards beside him all fell to the ground, and Brian urgently said, "Third-party hostile forces! They’re attacking both sides!"

Lachie fired two shots and then bellowed, "Drive! Drive! Get in the car and leave!"

As soon as Lachie yelled, the car Jethro had arrived in had already pulled up behind him. The driver had not turned off the engine, and as soon as the gunfire broke out, he immediately drove the car over.

Jethro moved, he hadn’t died in the explosion just now, nor was he injured, and the bodyguard beside him also got up.

Jethro and his bodyguard reacted quickly, but at that moment a burst of gunfire erupted from the first floor of the building, and then the car parked behind Jethro was riddled with bullet holes.

Jethro shouted, "The enemy’s upstairs, idiots! Not us!"

The situation became clearer, someone had ambushed from upstairs, launching an attack on both Jethro and the party he was negotiating with. After the negotiation party was killed by the ambushers upstairs, the people they had left on the ground floor attacked Jethro, cutting off his best escape route.

Jethro’s yelling came through the radio, after the negotiator’s men also opened fire on him, he had no choice but to lie down on the ground again.

"Indiscriminate attack! Queen, Iron Fist, Gambler, secure the upper floors, Robot and Holy Water lock down the lower levels, everyone else free to engage!"

Brian roared again.

Xiao Ran and Zhang Yong were quick and accurate shooters. Since the rooftop attackers had various options of attacking, the biggest fear was them throwing grenades outside, so they were assigned to seal the top floor. Paul, who wanted to show off this time with a bolt-action sniper rifle, was better suited to deal with the relatively small field of fire on the ground floor. As for Yang Yi, his rate of fire was not very fast, and it was better for him to block the doors where people might come bursting out than to search and shoot across a large area.

"Jethro, don’t stay put! Crawl forward, stay away from grenade threats."

Brian quickly gave orders again. Now that the people on the top floor were suppressed, unable to aim precisely or throw grenades accurately, Jethro could quickly crawl on the ground to avoid being hit by grenades thrown blindly.

Jethro began to crawl quickly on the ground, but his bodyguard stood up, took out a handgun, and crouched behind Jethro. If there were grenades to face, the bodyguard would be the first to take the hit, the same with bullets.

The bodyguard was professional and brave.

"Grenade!"

Brian yelled once more, and then both the bodyguard and Jethro stopped moving, waiting for the grenade to explode before moving quickly forward together again.

Yang Yi fired another shot, hitting a man who burst through the door. The man’s upper body sprayed blood and then he lay on the ground, but he was still moving, so Yang Yi aimed at the man he had knocked down and fired a short burst, killing the soldier for good.

The negotiator’s men were soldiers in camouflage, while the people on the top floor weren’t dressed in camo.

Lachie shouted, "You cover us, we’ll go support the boss."

Someone was already in the car, which had just started. Lachie sat on the seat with the door wide open, resting his gun on the door and firing wildly.

The battle happened very suddenly and was incredibly intense. However, the people on Jethro’s side, whether it was Yang Yi’s group or the four with Lachie, all reacted very swiftly and decisively.

Especially Jethro’s bodyguard, who had protected him with his life, Jethro had not been injured so far.

Now, the situation was chaotic; there was no longer any concern to distinguish whether the negotiator’s men were hostile. In this situation where identifying friends from foes was difficult, the only choice was to shoot anyone in sight.

A two-hundred-meter distance would take only about a dozen seconds in a car, but keeping Jethro alive during those few seconds was truly not easy.

Just then, Xiao Ran suddenly shouted in a sharp voice through the radio, "RPG!"
