NovelOnlineThe car they were driving was a BMW X7, but the car was barely used for combat. There weren't many spare bullets kept within the car, and they had two women in the car with them. There was no need for them to fight their attackers head-on.
Bernard glanced at his phone and said, "Help is almost here. Don't be scared!" His last three words were directed at Hera, who was sitting in the backseat. His expression was solemn, his gaze sharp, and the air around him calm and collected- all of which made him seem very different than before. Hera nodded.
It was her first texperiencing such a terrifying attack. Of course, she felt afraid. Not to mention, Samantha was holding her arm tightly while her body trembled involuntarily.
But with Bernard here, she felt safe.
At that moment, the attackers caught up with their car and were banging crazily on the car window.
They were all wearing black masks, showcasing their blue eyes. They were all men from abroad.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt the stime, a helicopter flew across the night sky, heading straight for them. The hatch opened as two snipers stood by the hatch and fired at those attackers.
The sound of sirens grew louder and quickly filled the entire area.
Seeing that it was safe, Bernard and his friends got out of the car. They saw that all the attackers had been shot to death.
Once the men in the helicopter had dealt with everyone, they turned off their lights and slowly disappeared into the night sky.
However, Hera still saw a winged dragon logo on the helicopter. That was Astral Nova's logo.
She immediately turned to Bernard. Did he go to Astral Nova for help? Bernard was currently picking up one of the guns the attackers had been carrying. He dismantled the gun skillfully and took out a bullet from the gun's magazine.
Then, he took out the bullet he had taken from the mat just now to make a comparison.
The two bullets were of different sizes. The bullet from the mat was smaller, coming from a sniper rifle. That meant that there was a high possibility that there were two separate groups who had cto kill them. He could hear the sound of footsteps coming toward him and quickly kept the bullets. He turned around and realized that it was Hera. The vigilant look in his eyes immediately vanished. "Were you scared?" He immediately pulled Hera into his embrace and walked toward the other side, refusing to allow her to turn and look at the corpse-littered ground.
Hera shook her head as she said, "Bernie" "Hera!" Wayne and Nicholas had gotten past the security line and were running toward them. They both sighed in relief after seeing that Hera was safe.
Hera noticed that now was not the tfor her to confront Bernard, so she swallowed back her words.
Bernard's men had also arrived.
Shaun stayed back at the scene to help the police clear the place. Bernard then sent Hera and the rest of the group to a nearby hotel to stay for the night. After ensuring that Hera was asleep, he ordered Douglas to arrange for people to watch over Hera's room door and left in the middle of the night.
Hera slept until ten the next day. When she woke up, she realized that Bernard had yet to return.
Everyone gathered at the hotel's restaurant for lunch, but the atmosphere was very tense. Everyone didn't sleep well and wasn't in their best state of mind.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Ms. Youngworth, Bernard has asked us to tell you not to worry about him. The attackers from last night were hired to go after Bernard. We've already found the mastermind behind the situation. Once everything is settled, he'll cback to meet you." Douglas could tell that Hera was worried. So, he repeated the words Bernard had given him.
Hera was slightly suspicious of his words. But she knew that if it w ow that if it were true, Bernard would be too afraid to meet with her now as he did not want to drag her into his mess. Also, she would only distract him if she insisted on meeting up with him. So, she nodded and continued eating quietly.
After the entire ordeal, no one mentioned anything about continuing their vacation.
Douglas bought four airplane tickets for them to fly back to Jedburgh and sent them to the airport.
On the way to the airport, the atmosphere in the car remained tense and quiet Nicholas couldn't N stand it anymore and exclaimed, "No one died. Why are you all acting like you're mourning?"
Then, he pointed at Hera and continued, "As for you, I'm the one m who saved you all last night! Can't you at least showsgratitude? Even if Bernard died, you'd still have me!" X
