Chapter 716 The hat is heavy, hard to wear and hard to take off
People only become afraid when death is imminent.
Christopher looked at his wife, whose face was filled with fear, and his arrogance and pride were gone.
That’s what it feels like!
The feeling of controlling other people’s lives!
“Go to hell and repent, bitch!”
He pulled the trigger and the bullet pierced the woman’s head in an instant, but she did not die immediately. Instead, she raised her hand and tried to touch the gunshot wound on her head.
This scene made Christopher tremble suddenly. He kicked the woman away and kept pulling the trigger at her head until she was dead.
In fact… a bullet penetrating the brain sometimes does not cause the injured person to die immediately, and some people may even never be harmed in their entire lives.
As long as the bullet doesn’t roll around inside and mess up your brain.
Then there is a high probability that nothing will happen to her.
However, the bullet behind solved her problem of not being killed by the gun. Glancing at the men who escaped into the room, Christopher’s attention gradually shifted to outside the house.
His men rushed in from outside the house. Xiao De was dragging a wounded guy. The guy was shot twice when he was about to enter the door and fell completely at the door.
He looked at the five people in the room, “Kill the ones hiding. They are on the second floor.”
Then he walked to the table and picked up the phone. He wanted to call Mr. Leonardo and tell the old man that someone was trying to kill him.
This is obviously a trap!
But they seemed to have anticipated that he would hide in and cut off the telephone lines early.
But Alberto was not nervous at all, because this was Sumurri Island, the crowded Sumurri Island.
The entire city is the territory of the Bianchi family. Any unknown exchange of fire here will definitely attract the attention of the Bianchi family members.
In the dark, the sound of gunfire could be heard from a very long distance, and perhaps someone was already heading this way.
Fierce gunfire was heard from the second floor of the room, and soon five bodies were dragged out and thrown in front of Christopher.
Looking at these faces with fear frozen on them, he breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, he felt an unprecedented peace, even quieter than the peace he got when he killed Paul!
If it weren’t for the threats outside, he could even shoot with his eyes closed at this moment!
That kind of comfort that makes the soul tingle is so fucking great!
He cursed “Fuck” again, but it was obvious that this swear word was probably an interjection to express emotion.
“Go behind the handrail of the stairs, find a suitable place, and turn off the light.”
He is smarter and more mature than before, and he knows how to deal with the current situation.
Soon the lights in the villa dimmed, and it was pitch black, impossible to tell what was what.
The gunshots outside the window seemed to have stopped. Christopher walked to the window and hid behind it. “Alberto?”
“I know you are, Alberto. You are here to avenge Paul, right?”
The sudden gunshot hit the windowsill, and the broken pieces shattered the glass, which shattered all over the floor with a “kuachacha” sound.
Christopher knew he was right.
“Paul actually wanted to kill me, damn it, what did I do wrong?”
“He actually wants to kill me?”
“Do you know how I killed him?”
He shrank his head sharply. Although he was behind the wall and the bullet could not hit him unless it could penetrate the wall behind him, he still instinctively shrank his neck.
“I knelt in front of him and begged for mercy. I confessed my sins and hoped he would let me go this time.”
“He was so ridiculous that he didn’t know how to shoot, and he still wanted to talk to me about some great principles.”
“Fuck, Alberto, Fuck!”
“He wanted to kill me, but he also wanted to teach me a lesson before I died. I took the gun from his hand while he wasn’t paying attention, and then killed him!”
“I thought I was stupid enough, until that day, I found out there was someone even more stupid than me!”
Two more gunshots were heard in quick succession, and Christopher’s voice was full of arrogance, “I’m wearing a bulletproof vest, Alberto, you didn’t expect that, did you?”
“If God doesn’t want to see me go to heaven, then I’ll have to trouble you to go!”
“Give me a message to God and Paul—”
“Fake Oil!”
As he spoke, he couldn’t help laughing. He actually felt a little inferior when facing Alberto. It was the same in the past and now.
Alberto is so capable. Compared to them, they are not even human beings!
Paul also often uses Alberto to inspire young people. He would talk about things that happened to Alberto, what he was like when he was a child, what he was like when he was young, and what he is like now.
There is nothing wrong with this kind of motivational education in essence, but sometimes if the person using it is not careful with the wording, expression, and emotions, it can turn into an attack.
It feels like the message has changed from “you should be like him” to “you have no advantages and are totally inferior to him”, which can be a terrible blow to the person being educated!
Every educated person has the urge to destroy role models!
Today, he will destroy Alberto!
On a high ground not far away, Fordis pulled Alberto’s arm and said, “We have to go!”
Alberto took a look at the dark villa. He knew very well that if he rushed in with a gun at this time, he would be shot to pieces.
He hammered the stone in front of him hard, cursed a few words, put away his weapon and left with the others.
At this time, the entire city had already been alarmed, and a large number of vehicles equipped with weapons were gathering here from all directions.
Mr. Leonardo had not slept yet. He was communicating with some government officials about the war.
As a representative of advocating external expansion, these hawkish officials actually hope that Mr. Leonardo can come to power.
The biggest problem facing Sumuli right now is its small land area. If they can take over a piece of territory on the continent, it will be of great benefit to the development of the entire country!
Originally, they were planning to join the Dantra Republic Military Alliance secretly, because only in this way could they meet their interests in acquiring territory.
To put it simply, they are in the western part of the Tanfit continent, between the Sumurri and Dantra military alliances, which is another military alliance formed by countries such as Ezrad.
If they joined the military alliance of countries like Slad, it would be impossible for them to obtain land from these countries. They could only obtain a piece of land in the Eastern Tanzania region across the entire Central Tanzania region.
That piece of land is far away from the Sumuli mainland, making it difficult to manage and may eventually be lost.
If they joined the Dantra Republic Military Alliance and they were able to win, he could directly gain a large piece of land close to the island.
Being close to the mainland, management will also be convenient.
But there is a problem with this matter. If they join the Dantra Republic Military Alliance, then the countries next to it will turn around and get rid of them first, so they can only follow the crowd.
Mr. Leonardo wants to acquire more land so that he can have greater merit and thus be more stable in becoming the next Prime Minister.
While they were discussing some of the details, the sharp sound of gunfire rang out over the city.
Looking at the officials who looked a little uneasy, Mr. Leonardo raised his hand and said, “This is the territory of the Bianchi family. Don’t worry, no one will get hurt. I promise!”
He stood up and said, “Excuse me for a moment. I’ll go figure out what happened and I’ll be back soon.”
He went to another room and started making phone calls to ask what had happened. Soon someone came with a message that Christopher had taken people to Doyle’s villa.
Now there were gunshots coming from that direction, which gave Mr. Leonardo a headache.
He knew what kind of people his family members were. A family that played the role of an emperor in the underworld would always produce some people with mental abnormalities.
In fact, it’s not just the gangs, the ruling class is also like this. As long as power is absolutely concentrated, there will be absolute perversion.
“Let someone keep an eye on Christopher. He can kill her lovers, but he can’t hurt my granddaughter.”
He paused. “She has the sacred blood of the Bianchi family flowing in her veins. No outsider can harm her.”
“Tell Dover that I will teach his wife a lesson this time and let her know what rules a wife should abide by.”
“Those things that make people upset just by listening to them will never happen again.”
After he finished his explanation, he returned to the room, but soon the butler came to his side and said, “Something unexpected happened.”
Mr. Leonardo apologized again and walked out the door with the butler. The butler took the initiative to say, “Christopher was ambushed. Someone tried to assassinate him. He seemed to have been shot.”
He immediately made a judgment, “It’s someone from the Pasletto family!” He took two steps back and forth, “Let everyone go over to support, and if possible, save Dover.”
“If it really is…” He pursed his lips, “There is no other way, then don’t let him suffer.” If he fell into Alberto’s hands, he would definitely be tortured. Alberto and the Pasreto family both have honor killings, and he would die in a bizarre way.
And there is a possibility that he will be included in the books about the honor killing methods of gangster families and become a celebrity of some size.
He was very sure that Christopher would most likely not be able to bear it, so instead of letting him say something he shouldn’t say, it would be better to just tell him to shut up.
The butler nodded and quickly notified everyone.
Cars carrying people and weapons drove towards Doyle’s villa.
Standing on a high place and looking at the same car lights coming towards him from different places near and far, Alberto lit a cigarette with some melancholy.
He wanted to say something while running and smoking, but everyone was running with their heads down. He wanted to say something unpleasant but couldn’t, so he could only run with them.
The cars quickly gathered around Doyle’s villa, and then they cleared out any places around where people might be hiding, and finally came to the outside of Doyle’s villa.
“Christopher, is he dead?”
Christopher breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that arrogant voice.
The person who was speaking was one of Leonardo’s grandsons, with whom he had some problems.
The fact that this kid is here means that Mr. Leonardo knows about it, and it also means that the area nearby is really safe.
He asked someone to turn on the light, and the lights in the room came on again. A few guys came in from outside, checked the safety of the house, and then invited the person outside in.
As soon as the young man came in, he saw his sister lying on the ground with her head smashed by bullets. He frowned and said, “You shouldn’t have killed him.”
Christopher was silent for a moment, “I will explain to Mr. Leonardo.”
The young man nodded slightly, “You’d better be able to do it!”
He paused and said, “Whose people are those outside, and why do they want to kill you?”
He knew very well what kind of person his sister was, and he also knew that no one would want to kill her except Christopher.
Killing the Bianchi princess on the Bianchi family’s territory?
If someone is really stupid enough to do this, there is a high probability that he will not live to see the day he does it.
So those people outside must be coming for Christopher.
Christopher’s face didn’t look very good. “Alberto, they came to me about Paul’s matter.”
He frowned as he spoke. “I was wearing a bulletproof vest, but I was shot. Now I have severe pain on the left side of my back.”
The young man saw that he didn’t seem to be pretending, so he immediately asked him to take off his coat.
There was a fist-sized purple mark on his back, and some blood was squeezed out of the pores, and it was also severely swollen.
“You go to the hospital first, I will find that Alberto and kill him!”
“By the way, what does he look like?”
Christopher coughed twice, “It’s in my drawer, Xiaode…” He looked at the young man behind him, “Give them Alberto’s photo…”
There are people everywhere.
The entire city was under martial law, with gangsters on the streets checking passing vehicles and expanding outward.
Before daybreak, they had obtained a large number of Alberto’s photos and were searching everywhere.
Alberto, who had been hiding for most of the day, was finally discovered. There were too many people from the four major families and there was no place to hide around. After killing several people who came to check, they immediately drove away.
The sound of gunfire seemed to have activated some special…superpower. People who were searching for them throughout the city immediately drove in the direction of the gunfire.
Along the way, Alberto and his men tried their best to get rid of the enemies, but they were always unable to get rid of them.
Members of the four major families pounced on him and bit him like crazy.
If you care about them and want to deal with them, it will attract more people.
If we don’t consider dealing with them and just let them follow us, it will only become more and more troublesome.
The more pursuers you kill, the more new pursuers will come after you. This is a vicious cycle.
They fled all the way, and the people behind them chased them all the way. In the end, Alberto himself became a little numb.
It’s not that they were without casualties. Brothers were constantly injured. In order not to drag down Alberto and the others, those injured brothers had no choice but to stay behind.
Whenever he heard a burst of dense gunfire behind him, Alberto felt his heart bleeding!
At this moment, he and Christopher felt the same emotion, the emotion of regret.
He really shouldn’t have come!
At least you shouldn’t have brought so many people with you.
But if he doesn’t come and no one else helps, we will never be able to get over this hurdle in our lifetime.
All I can say is that the regret I feel now may not be true regret.
There were fewer and fewer people around him, the sky was getting darker, and he could already smell the scent of sea water.
Having lived in Jingang City for so many years, he is very familiar with the unique smell of the seaside.
There is nothing great about the coast of Sumurri Island, just a few sandy beaches, no deep-water port, and nothing of any value.
The lack of development value means that most coastal areas remain in their most original state, with reefs everywhere.
It was getting darker and darker, and the car, which had been running for a whole day, finally broke down. Alberto, Fortis, and two others got out of the car. The four of them had no other options for escape, so they ran directly to the beach.
It didn’t take long for the pursuers behind them to discover their tracks, and more people joined in the operation to eliminate them.
The two sides exchanged fire several times, and both suffered casualties. In the end, only Fordis was left by Alberto’s side.
“call……”
“call……”
Alberto’s chest was like the broken bellows of the old blacksmith outside his home when he was a child. Every time it was pulled, an unpleasant cracking sound would be produced.
There were two cracks in the lambskin of the bellows’s blowing chamber. Whenever he pushed hard in the wind direction, air would rush out from the two cracks, making a sound like his panting.
He leaned against a rock by the sea, and the moon hanging in the sky looked at him curiously.
He tried his best to hide himself in the shadows, but the sound of approaching footsteps was carried into his ears by the wind.
He wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked at Fordis beside him, “Are you okay?”
Fordis gritted his teeth and supported his body, “I won’t die for now.”
The two looked at each other in the dark night. Fordis took a deep breath and said, “I can’t run anymore. I can only help you hold them back for two or three minutes at most.”
“You should find a way to escape or hide. There are reefs here. If you hide, you still have a chance to leave.”
Just as he finished speaking, the sound of speedboat engines was heard on the sea in the distance. Countless speedboats appeared on the sea, shining searchlights at the reefs on the beach.
Alberto looked at Fordis and couldn’t help laughing. “It seems that God wants me to stay here.”
Fordyce looked at his good brother, was silent for a long time, cursed “Fuck”, and then began to check his remaining ammunition.
Both of them were silent. After checking the few remaining bullets in their weapons and the two or three magazines on their bodies, they realized they had reached the “end”.
In fact, he shouldn’t smoke at this time, because the fire would attract other people’s attention, but Alberto no longer cared about that.
He only hoped that when he died, he would at least not regret not having the chance to smoke one last cigarette!
“Want it?” he asked Fordyce.
The latter nodded and said, “Come on, one last cigarette.”
The two of them came together and lit up the cigarette. Alberto took a deep breath and said, “I never thought it would be so fragrant!”
Fordyce laughed a few times and said nothing.
The faint light emitted by them when they lit cigarettes was also discovered.
Listening to the voices of “they are here” and the searchlights from the speedboat on the beach, Alberto, holding a cigarette in his mouth, raised his weapon and pointed it at the person closest to him.
“Send Q!”
