Chapter 29 LOUD GUN SHOTS

ANMELA'S POV

No emotion. Laurent gazed at the man straightly with the spark of braveness on his eyes and the expression of a professional fighter. I thought that in his vocabulary the word 'afraid' was not written.

"I can't see the fear in you, Laurent Baider. That amazes me... your stand and look on me seems like you are not trembling inside, are you?" His lips curved into an evil smirk. "For your information, I already know you."

The man pointed the gun on his forehead. The fear crawled all over my body. If he shot him the gun I would take that. It was better to feel the bullet in me than see Laurent dying. It would break me into pieces.

"How many percent do you know of me?" I could not understand why Laurent was now smirking at him. My hold on his shirt tightened.

Baider did not fail to surprise me with his attitude. I wanted to know every inch of him, his life, where he came from, anything about him.

Am I ready to fully know him? What if there is a big secret that is supposed not to be revealed? Am I prepared to take it? I am not sure.

"You don't know me well. Don't act as you know me from head to foot." Laurent's grin made my body tremble, it was different from usual. It was dangerously evil.

He stared at his head to his feet. "I am pretty sure that you only know me by my name."

"You are arrogant." The man slowly approached us. His eyes were dark and his expression was giggling.

I backed away, but Laurent did not remove his feet to where he was standing. It was as if he should not have avoided that. It was as if nothing could be afraid of.

"Yeah, I admit." Laurent said, agreeing with the man who described him as 'arrogant.'

I almost scratched my forehead because of what Laurent said. He would not even deny that. That was really his attitude.

Mr. Baider, what else are your explosions in life? What else did you not tell me? Do I need to prepare myself for the huge revelation?

"Kill him. That rude man!" The man was cut his little patience, he gestured to them to move closer to Laurent and attacked him.

His members ran towards us immediately. I backed away, but Laurent held my hand. He ran towards the car. In an instant, he inserted me into it and locked the door. He blocked the car using his body.

I knelt down on the car and tapped the windshield. "Laurent!" I tapped it as hard as I could. I only viewed his back, looking at the opponent. My tears were flowing in fear, my body was quaking. I could not see him clearly because of the liquid welling up.

My mouth dropped open when I saw how strong he was. One of them rushed towards him, but just a short distance away, Laurent's foot immediately hit his face. I saw his nose bleed. Then, he jumped out of the black car and when he got down, his punch landed on the other's face.

The second one rushed forward, but he did not even give him a chance to be close to him, he punched him in the chest immediately. The man cried out in great pain.

Why does he seem so strong? I mean—very strong! Like an adept puncher and kicker! Did he learn Martial Arts? Or self-defense? I had no idea who he really was.

The third one was about to punch him, Laurent immediately dodged in the side and then quickly used his knee to hit his chin.

I covered my mouth when his chin was dislocated. That was unbelievable! He was brave, scary, and powerful.

The fourth man was approaching, Laurent did not give him a chance to come closer to him, he kicked him in the face.

My body trembled more as I watched him how to fight, how to make them fall on the floor. It was difficult to believe. I thought he was just an ordinary doctor who healed patients, but it seemed like that profession was used to know where the delicate portion of the body was to kill the enemy—no, not to kill, just hurt them in the most painful way.

Do I need to trust him? Or should I trust him because I have no choice? Would it be the start of the most horrible, shocking events in the future? Or he would not let that happen?

My head was messed up. I had no idea what to think anymore.

Only a few minutes passed, all of them were knocked out, except their leader, who I did not know even his name.

"Awesome." The man gave him loud applause, being sarcastic. He was smiling, but in a few seconds, that changed into a cold look. "But you can't escape from the bullet!" In an instant, he pulled a trigger.

"Bend down, Anmela Eris!" Laurent ordered me so I did. My side face was touching the ground of the car, my body was folded while I was hugging my knee. I started to sob louder as I heard the loud shots of guns.

I wanted to peek because Laurent might be hit, but I could not move up. He might fire again and I would be hit.

I tightened the hug on my knees. My ears were aching because of the loud sound of bullets everywhere. I was so scared. I could feel that I might black out, my chest was going up and down extremely. I could feel that I had difficulty breathing. Too much frighten was consuming me.

What happened to Laurent? I wished he was okay because I could not take that if something bad happened to him.

Is he okay?

The gun shots stopped. I was getting air and blew it out with difficulty. I was about to move and looked at it when I heard one loud firing of guns that echoed around the place. That made my heart ripped, it was painful.

Laurent!
