Chapter 939: Chapter 944 Interception

The car wasn’t great, but the driver was something else.

Yang Yi swerved left and right, threading the needle through the already crowded streets of Old Rome, a terrain and traffic condition in which he thrived. Even though the pursuers’ cars were much better, they still couldn’t catch up to him.

Clothes were being thrown out the window one by one, landing directly onto the street.

Justin, bare-chested and clad only in his underwear, looked eagerly at Kate.

Kate said with some annoyance, "Why are you staring at me?"

"Where are my clothes? Didn’t you prepare any clothes for me?"

"Do we look like we’ve got spare clothes for you?"

"Then why did you make me take my clothes off?"

"Because you stink!"

Justin was frustrated, but now was not the time to argue with Kate, so he took another sip of the red wine.

Yang Yi was looking in the rearview mirror when he caught Justin’s action and quickly said, "You’re in the mood to drink at a time like this?"

"Why not? I’m nearly dying of thirst, and besides, even if I’m not thirsty, isn’t it exactly the time to take a few sips to calm the nerves when you’re running for your life?"

Justin replied with robust logic, and Yang Yi angrily asked, "Why were you in a dumpster?"

"Because I was discovered! My men are dead, I couldn’t leave Rome at all, the escape routes I had arranged were blocked, and I had no choice but to run aimlessly through the Old City. I told you my location, but by the time someone got close, I had nowhere to run and had to dive into a dumpster."

After his explanation, Justin continued with great dissatisfaction, "You only came with three people! I saw you through a crack and just shifted a little to signal you. Why did you have to call me out of the dumpster? Why didn’t you wait for your people to assemble before getting me out? It was so dangerous just now, and I could have kept hiding."

Yang Yi was infuriated.

"F*ck! Blaming me now? All I saw was a damn trash bag move, how was I to know if it was you or a stray cat inside? I approached the dumpster and hinted to you in English, and in a way you would understand. If you were clever, you’d move again. Why did you make a sound? Why kick the dumpster? If you hadn’t made noise, of course, I would’ve waited for everyone before acting, but why did you make noise, you idiot!"

Justin was taken aback for a moment, then said with a helpless expression, "Uh, I... got a bit frantic at the moment, okay, let’s not blame anyone. I was just too nervous at the time, it was hard to stay calm. I got too excited seeing you guys, well, since we’re safe now, I’ll forgive you."

Yang Yi angrily asked, "Forgive who?"

"Uh, please forgive me. I’m sorry, it was my fault."

Justin changed the topic deftly, like a wise man avoiding a loss right in front of him.

Yang Yi was very dissatisfied with Justin’s attitude and especially couldn’t accept it, knowing that Justin was a rich heir from a powerful family, with both money and influence. But to act so indulgent even when fleeing for his life, that’s just asking to get beaten up.

"What in the world happened?"

The most pressing issue had to be asked.

Justin sighed then said in a resigned whisper, "Uh, my father died."

"And then?"

"I’m a bastard. My father died, but before he did, he declared that I should inherit the leadership of the Cicero Family..."

Justin sighed and continued with a face full of helplessness, "The Cicero Family deals in intelligence, but like those ancient Mafia families, the new head needs the majority of the family members’ approval. If I had time, I could have made them accept me, but Mario couldn’t wait. He directly destroyed everything I’d painstakingly built up."

"Mario is going to be the leader of the Cicero Family now?"

"Not yet, but he will be very soon."

Yang Yi thought for a moment, then he said gravely, "I understand, Queen. Where are our reinforcements?"

"The closest are three blocks away, but our position has been constantly changing. How do we meet up?"

"Tell them to stay put, we’ll meet up with them. Then have them draw off the pursuers."

Xiao Ran spoke with a serious face, "They don’t have any weapons!"

Yang Yi picked up the pistol which only had a few bullets left and said, "This is their weapon!"

Talking and driving did not delay each other, even though the chasing cars could already be seen in the rearview mirror.

Yang Yi shouted, "Notify Old Demon to back us up last, tell him to prepare a set of clothes for Justin and a car for us. He has to take on the final task."

Xiao Ran spoke urgently, "Understood, Old Demon will handle the last step."

Xiao Ran made the call while Yang Yi, following the location Xiao Ran pointed out and the route given by the phone navigator, hurried towards Brian’s position.

Two taxis were stopped at the roadside, with their doors open and Brian standing by one of the doors.

For Brian and his team, the quickest way to find a car was to hijack the one they were riding in, and that’s exactly what they did.

"Get ready to hand over the guns to them!"

Yang Yi yelled out; Kate immediately passed her gun to Xiao Ran. She took off her jacket and wrapped all the guns in it before sticking her arm out the window.

Yang Yi started to slow down, Brian reached out his hand, and as they quickly passed each other, he grabbed the guns Xiao Ran handed over.

Once the exchange was complete, Yang Yi hit the accelerator to continue their escape, while Brian unfolded Xiao Ran’s jacket and handed out the two pistols to Paul and Stone Statue.

"We’ll hold them off. The one with the grenades leads, move freely. Our goal is to draw off the pursuers."

While speaking, Brian pressed the release button and checked the magazine.

Only five bullets left, but Brian was unfazed. He shouted, "Let’s see if you’ve gotten old."

Stone Statue stepped out of the car, taking position with his pistol on the car roof.

The first car came by; Stone Statue remained motionless, and so did Brian and Paul until the Land Rover got close. Eventually, Stone Statue fired.

Two shots; the driver’s head suddenly burst into a mist of blood, then the car veered to the side.

The Alfa Romeo following the Land Rover hesitated, braked sharply, and Stone Statue turned the gun muzzle, snap snap two more shots, and the second car immediately lost control.

"Well done!"

Brian praised as he quickly ran towards the two cars that had crashed into the curb.

Meanwhile, Black Jack and Bill rapidly ran towards the out-of-control cars as well.

Brian ran up to the first car, slowed down, and edged up to the rear window. Then he suddenly pulled open the car door, fired a shot at someone in the back seat, and immediately fired another at the back of the head of the person in the passenger seat, grabbing a Beretta M12 submachine gun and throwing it to Bill.

Catching the submachine gun, he racked it, then he rushed to the front of the car, firing a whole clip of bullets through the glass into the car.
