Dima called back. “Do not hesitate! Kill him!”
I couldn’t think about how insane this was or what might happen if I failed. The only thing that mattered was reaching Lei.
The world around me blurred as adrenaline surged through my veins.
Leo was close to Lei now, raising his sword high above his head. My heart stopped, the scene unfolding in slow motion.
No. No. No.
Leo slammed Soaring Precious in a deadly strike.
Lei barely managed to roll away.
Terror spiked through my chest.
The sword hit the ground and the impact was brutal, sending shards flying into the air like shrapnel.
Still racing forward, I lifted the gun and aimed at Leo’s head.
Song’s voice rang out from the crowd. “LEO, WATCH OUT!”
Asshole.
Leo whipped his head around and stared at me in shock.
I pulled the trigger.
The bullet whizzed through the air.
At the last minute, Leo's head tilted slightly.
The bullet grazed his ear.
The remaining crowd erupted in panic again.
Damn it.
I gritted my teeth and continued forward.
Only two bullets left.
“My little monster?” Leo lowered his sword and gave me a deadly smile. “Did you come to talk to daddy?”
Keep his attention off Lei.
“No.” Still aiming the gun at Leo’s head, I stopped running yet, continued forward. “I came to bury you.”
I hoped I sounded confident as fuck because all I could wonder was. . .could Itrulybury him?
