Chapter 169:
Otherwise, there would be no reason for them to react to his insults toward Ashton.
At that moment, a minivan pulled up next to Liam.
Several men armed with knives and clubs emerged rapidly from the vehicle.
A wave of excitement washed over Liam when he realized that the reinforcements he had summoned had finally arrived. He gave a mocking sneer at the men who had just threatened him.
“You’re defending Ashton? I’m going to make an example out of you right here, right now!”
Liam’s thugs had just exited the van when they received his harsh command.
“Start by breaking their limbs, and then bring them before Ashton. He needs to understand the consequences of provoking me!”
Despite their initial confusion, the thugs carried out Liam’s command, aggressively shouting as they closed in on their targets.
By a twist of fate, the two factions intent on confronting Ashton collided unexpectedly.
Upon witnessing the unfolding chaos, the leader of the assassins was overcome with anger.
His original plan was to blend into the crowd as a tourist, covertly close in on Ashton, and assassinate him.
But before they could even spot Ashton, they bumped into Liam’s group.
With the thugs advancing aggressively, the assassins were compelled to abandon their covert guise ahead of schedule. Suddenly, the group that appeared harmless revealed a deadly purpose in their gaze.
The assassins wasted no time, swiftly drawing their weapons and firing before Liam’s thugs could respond.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Liam was hit by a sharp, metallic odor as his men collapsed around him.
Gunfire rang out across the area, its noise mingling with the sounds of screams. The entire area had been thrown into chaos.
Amid the turmoil, only Ashton maintained his composure, his brow furrowed as he worked to calm the frightened students. Despite his efforts to calm them down, several students panicked and ran.
Most students instinctively followed Ashton’s instructions and stayed close to him.
Ashton felt a twinge of anxiety. He wanted to call back the students who had scattered.
However, witnessing the escalating hostility of the nearby confrontation, Ashton made the safety of the students around him his top priority, carefully considering each step to avoid exacerbating the situation.
He then issued a clear and composed command. “Everyone, stay calm and listen closely. Do not approach those individuals. We need to move together and find safety in the woods!”
