THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 3: CHAPTER 51 – 60
BY SIR ZACH
CHAPTER 57
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.”
“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–”
“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.
THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 3: CHAPTER 51 – 60
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?!
While the Xu men were standing there and not knowing how to react, the First Lady’s guard had gotten up and ran to their Boss. One of the guards had already carried her in his arms, ready to leave for the hospital, but the Xu men wouldn’t allow them.
One of them was sent home to inform Davis, so they were waiting to hear what Davis would say.
Angered by the Xu men’s audacity, the First Lady’s guards started fighting the Xu men and other guards that were stationed around the hall also got involved, further creating a bigger mess and disorganization in the hall.
This was the opportunity Code 5 was waiting for. Once he got the chance, he asked help from a young man to untie the rope.
Once Code 5 was freed, he punched the two nearest Xu men, robbing them of their guns and killing them.
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!…”
The hall froze when the sound of gunshots was repeatedly heard. They’ve been fighting with fists since they probably forgot the use of guns, or they were trying to minimize the killing of innocent people.
Whatever their reasons were, Code 5 broke that as the sound of his gunshot travelled everywhere.
With him leading the way, the Xu men also started shooting, killing whoever got in the way of their flying bullets. They didn’t care about who was dying.
THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 3: CHAPTER 51 – 60
Meanwhile, Maverick heard the gunshots from outside the door. He was still following the waiter to get water.
The minute they entered a store room, Maverick pulled out his phone and sent a text.
‘Come up to the top floor.’
Just after he sent the message, Yellow and Blue burst into the corridor. Without a second wasted, the girls opened fire, killing every living soul along the passageway.
The girls were not hiding, they spread out, as many as the passageway could allow. They were like zombies, deaf and blind to any threat in their way. In less than five minutes, more than thirty Xu men were gunned down.
Inside the storeroom, Maverick looked at the waiter who was shivering and asked, “Where is Davis?”
“He– he’s inside–”
“Since you know where he is, take me there.”
The waiter swallowed nervously. His forehead was already friends with his beads of sweat.
He carried the tray of drink and left the store room with Maverick quietly following behind him. Along the way, they maneuvered their way around dead bodies that were sprawling on the floor. Looking ahead, the large door had been opened and gunshot sounds could still be heard coming from the banquet hall.
Maverick was no longer concerned with what goes on in the hall, trusting that his people would keep his sisters and themselves safe.
Following the waiter, they took a left turn and arrived at another corridor. This area was quiet and soundproof. It is the VVIP area of the hotel, only the executive and the owner of the hotel comes here.
“Who owns this hotel?” Maverick asked.
“I– I’m not sure, sir!” The waiter answered fearfully.
The deeper they went into the corridor, the quieter it was. They took another left turn by the end of the corridor and came to a door that was being guarded by the strongest Xu men.
Maverick knew these guys to be the strongest because they only go around with Davis. If he were to rank the ten of them in his faction, they would be on the same level as Code 1– Code 10.
It would be hard to bypass these guys–fighting them head-on would be a big mistake on his path, but if there’s a distraction, he has a fifty-fifty chance of winning.
“Hey! Stop there!”
One of the guards stopped them. The waiter stopped, but Maverick started moving backwards, making himself look suspicious.
“What are you– stop right there!!” The guard and the others pulled out their guns and pointed them in Maverick’s direction.
Maverick stopped and raised his hands and supported the back of his head with them.
Fortunately, the moment Maverick spotted the ten guards, he didn’t walk too far from the corner, so by the time he was stopped with guns, he was already a few inches away from taking a turn.
“Who are you? Take off your cap!”
Maverick didn’t argue and took off his cap. However, before they could see his face, he threw the cap and ran into the corner.
“Bang! Bang…”
The throwing of the cap, running away and the shooting was just one second apart.
Maverick tried unlocking the doors along the passageway but all were locked. Frustrated, he was about to shoot one of the doors when he spotted a guard who had run out of the corner with his gun pointed.
Before the guard could pull the trigger, Maverick went first.
“Bang!”
A bull’s eyes. Hit right at the middle of his brows. Another one ran out, followed by two and more!
Maverick was left in the open, with nowhere to hide or run. All the guards had seen who it was, so they didn’t want to kill him like a nobody. It would be better if their master killed him. But before taking him there, they have to maim him, or else he goes wild, they thought.
As they were cautiously moving towards him, the door in front of Maverick suddenly burst open and a hand pulled him in before shutting the door.
“F*ck!”
The guards yelled and ran towards the door. They believed he can’t escape, so it was futile to continue struggling. However, this is Alpha Chaos. If he was so easy to kill, wouldn’t he have long been dead?
Anyway, being one of those who killed Alpha Chaos is already enough of an achievement, they thought.
“Open this door! You have no place to hide!” one of them started banging on the door.
“After the count of five, if this door is not opened, we’ll break it open!”
“1… 2…”
Inside the room, the female staff member that Maverick helped earlier was seen standing in front of Maverick with her head bowed.
“What are you doing here?” Maverick asked.
“I am hiding. The hotel management is in on it. They wanted to kill me, so a friend told me and I ran here to hide, knowing here is a lot safer.”
Maverick looked around the sitting room. It was a luxurious one. So he instructed, “find somewhere to hide and turn off the lights.”
After he said that, the lady ran into the inner room and turned off the lights.
Once Maverick was alone in the sitting room, he turned off the lights and went to hide at a place he could blend with the darkness.
THE LAST MINUTE GROOM SEASON 3: CHAPTER 51 – 60
A short while later, he heard the lock on the door beeping. In no time, the door was pushed open. From the light in the passage, he could see a man, probably the manager of the hotel standing aside and allowing the Xu men into the room.
“Turn the lights on.”
However, just when someone was about to do so;
“Pew pew…”
“Crash!”
“Whack!”
The sounds of two people falling against objects reverberated softly in the room.
“Bang!”
“Bang!
“Bang…!”
The Xu men started firing bullets in every direction of the room. The room was dark after the door was closed. Also, the guards were caught off guard, so they didn’t pay attention to where the bullet came from.
While they were shooting without proper direction, Maverick took the opportunity to use their bullet sounds as cover for his shooting.
“Pew, pew, pew, pew!”
Three to four people went down again. It was at this moment that one of the Xu men shot a bullet into where Maverick was hiding. At the same time, he turned on the light and saw Maverick standing right in front of them, beside the window!
The Xu men had two men left, with their guns pointed at Maverick, who was holding his side. His hand was stained with blood, a dead giveaway that he was shot.
“Alpha Chaos, don’t make things difficult. Move!” one of the men said.
Maverick said nothing and just watched them get closer. He had exhausted the bullets in the silent pistol, so he threw it aside. Seeing that he had resigned himself to his fate, the men didn’t let their guards down. This is Alpha Chaos anyway.
One of them pointed his gun at him, while the other secured his gun on his waist and took off his tie to secure Maverick’s hands behind his back. However, just when the man got close enough, with one swift move, Maverick wrapped his arm around his neck. He was choking the guy, at the same time, using him as a cover.
The other one with the gun didn’t want to kill his second but Maverick was killing him as he held him in a chokehold! What should he do?!
He didn’t want to kill Maverick but send him to Davis. But as it is right now, if he doesn’t kill Maverick, the madman might kill him. With that thought in mind, the guy focused his aim at Maverick’s head but before he could pull the trigger, Maverick shot his leg with the gun he stole from the guy he was choking.
“Bang!”
“Argh!”
The guy instinctively lowered his upper body, probably to touch his hurting leg. With such a marvellous opportunity in place, Maverick let another bullet fly out of his gun and hit the guy squarely in the throat. Once that one was dead, Maverick pushed the one he was holding away, however, before the guy could stabilize himself, Maverick shot him in the eye.
