Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

Chapter 450

450 trouble at the party (4)

Maverick frowned. What is her purse doing here? He looked at it for a moment longer before taking it along as he made his way out. Reaching the door, he paused and demanded with his palm open towards the skinniest guy, “your gun.” (1)

“Oh,” The guy handed his silent pistol with the belief that he wouldn’t be killed.

Maverick saw the guy’s enthusiasm and unwavering trust, so he put the guy’s matter at the back of his mind and left through the door.

The rape victim was leaning on the wall beside the door, looking frightened and uncomfortable. But the moment she saw him coming out, her eyes watered–in–relief.

“You can walk now. No?” Maverick asked. He had no time to carry her around anymore.

Seeing her looking at him without responding, he put a hand on her shoulder and lowered his height to make sure nothing he said flew over her head.

“From here onward, I’ll be killing people. Carrying you around is not convenient unless you want to step in as a human shield for me.” His hard voice complimented his straight face as he told her the truth without courtesy.

The lady stared at him with her watery blue eyes for a long time before she held the hem of his shirt and flattened her lips. Trying to speak, her lips quivered. Then fat tears poured out of her eyes.

It was frustrating that she couldn’t convey her feelings!

Maverick looked down at his shirt that was being held, before looking back at her. At that moment, the restroom door was pushed open and the skinniest guy walked out.

Seeing another Xu guy, the lady was frightened and held tightly onto Maverick’s shirt.

Maverick shut his eyes and gritted his teeth. He wasn’t annoyed at her clinginess but was raving mad at what they did to her. He swept her fingers off his shirt and ordered the skinniest guy.

“Keep her safe until I return-” This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

“No!” She cried and hugged Maverick around the waist, tightly. “Pl–please, don’t le–leave me he–here!”

She burst into tears.

“Hm,” he said but before she could sigh in relief, he chopped the side of her neck and made her fall asleep on his chest. Then he glanced at the skinny guy.

“Oh, yes!” He hurried forward and carried her away.

There was no way to send her to the hospital yet. He can’t let them take her through the emergency entrance that was shown to him because of security reasons. Since she’s not dying anytime soon, it’d be better to honour the staff member who put her job at risk for him.

Maverick was finally free now, so he started moving towards the hall. This time, he left no guard alive. Whichever guard he met on the way, with the convenience of the silent pistol, he robbed them of their lives.

Finally standing at the entrance between the hall and the passageway, Maverick scanned the large

room with his eyes.

The guests were either sitting or sprawling on the floor, dead!

Those sitting were still alive but were looking weak. Some of them were even sleeping with their heads on their tables.

The guards patrolling the hall would be around fifty or more. Starting a fight with them might cause other people’s deaths. His son and wife aren’t here, so he can’t start a fight blindly.

“Hey! What are you doing standing there?! The master needs water, get a waiter to bring the master some water!” someone yelled at Maverick.

“Hm,” he responded and lowered his cap even more before walking into the hall. He went straight to one of the waiters, who was lying on his stomach and pulled him to his feet. Without uttering a word, he pushed him forward.

The waiter was not deaf, so he heard the command and knew what he was meant to do.

Meanwhile, one of the paralyzed people in the room, was Code 5. Once he saw the ‘Xu guy‘ who walked in, immediately he knew it was his Boss!

The excitement that his boss was alive, caused power to sprung out from nowhere. When his master was leaving through the front door with the waiter to get water, Code 5 was collecting himself and formulating a plan.

After Maverick left through the door, Code 5 caught sight of the pregnant First Lady. Maybe Davis didn’t see her, or maybe he had another reason for keeping the woman here, but whatever reason Davis had, Code 5 would be taking advantage of his mistake.

The First Lady came with some guards, but they are also held hostage. If something tragic suddenly happens to their Master, won’t they dive into a frenzy?

Coming to that conclusion, his eyes narrowed. Code 5 started shifting on his butt, making his way towards the table where Piper, the First Lady and the others were.

Code 5 was hard to deal with, so his hands were tied to his back. It wasn’t expedient for him to move on his butt, but he had no better option.

The Xu men didn’t take him into consideration. They believed that since he was drugged like everyone else, plus his hands were tied, he won’t be able to cause trouble. Unfortunately, they were so wrong!

When Code 5 finally got closer to the First Lady’s seat, he forcefully hit her chair with his body, sending the unconscious woman falling.

“Ahhhh!”

Her painful cry interrupted the silence that has been hovering around the hall for hours. Immediately those who weren’t unconscious heard her cry, they instantly looked in her direction and saw the First Lady on the floor with her big tummy. Before the ones closest to her could make sense of what just happened, they saw blood stains on her dress.

“Ahh! Blood!”

“The First Lady is bleeding!”

Once the hall was thrown into a frenzy, the First Lady’s guards, five of them, fought their dizziness to

stand up.

The Xu men were stupefied. Adding the First Lady to this plan was a bad idea in the first place, but their Master didn’t see it that way. Now that the woman had caused them trouble, if her husband decides to get the Country’s Military involved, would they be able to survive?!
