Chapter 45:Retreat

Xavier's eyes raised when his phone on the sofa rang.He saw the caller was Ethan.He answered the call while still looking at the drone.

"Xavier.I never thought you'd know my plan.I must praise you for being secretive and hiding your talent away from away.No wonder you can always escape death unknowingly.But this is your end.I have a lot of men but I will only send seven of them to kill you.You are just alone with that princess.I will make sure to kill you.

"Are you really doing this?", Xavier asked while looking at the drone.

"Why not?", he heard Ethan.

Xavier felt amused.

"Alright.Come at me.Watch me kill all of your men alone.", Xavier confidently said and ended the call before Ethan could answer back.Ethan was infuriated when Xavier just cut off the call before he could speak.

"F*ck.", he cursed.

"Seven people!Go kill that man!", Xavier ordered in anger when they reached their cars.

Seven men began to move and spread out professionally and trespassed the house.The killers began to approach the huge villa and invaded the villa.The others climbed through the windows forcefully.

"Shoot!Kill him!", Ethan ordered the man holding a drone and the drone begins to fire at the bullet proof glass wall.

"A bullet proof wall?"

Xavier got out of the hobby room and met a man in black He immediately ran away while being followed by the killers and threw a smoke around the room and began to shoot at the killer.The killer missed a lot of rounds and a lot of bullets rained towards Xavier but Xavier just avoided them all and took his knife to kill the killer before cutting it's neck.

A killer came again and began to shoot Xavier.

Xavier began to jump and run away in circles inside the room.His movements are so fast that even Lia was impressed watching him through her phone.

Xavier used the sofa of the huge living room as a steppingstone to leap towards the enemy.He kicked the face of the enemy.His enemy got thrown away to the ride and Xavier spinned around to stabilize his footing.He fastly took his Cabot gun and shot the enemy.

"There he is!!", a killer said when they saw Xavier and began to shoot Xavier.

Three enemies came in the living room and the living room was in a mess.Xavier took the smoke gas and threw a poison gas before swiftly hiding at the corner far away from the living room.He has a mask so he has no problem.

The killers coughed and died.

The drone who just freshly came into the living room struggled to find Xavier because of the smoke however Xavier is already at second floor.

"I can't see him.", the man controlling the drone beside Ethan said.

Xavier hid away from the drone.

He took a shot gun at the guest room and got out to take a peek at the living room from above.Xavier saw the drone being steady at the center.Xavier saw a huge chandelier above it and he decided to shoot the chandelier with a shot gun and the chandelier fell.The drone was hit but still survived.The camera immediately flew towards Xavier to shoot but it was too late.Xavier shot the drone with a shotgun and the drone got destroyed.

The two killers who just came to the living room to find the gunshot sound hurriedly went to find Xavier and saw him at the second floor.Xavier ran away and avoided them.They cursed and went to the second floor to follow Xavier.Xavier went too the roof top.He threw a poison gas on the way and poured the galloons of motor oil he and his team prepared.The two killers slid and struggled to got up.Xavier shot them with his Cabot gun which ended their lives.

The seven men are dead.

Xavier took a rope from his backpack and tied the room tightly to a vertical metal rail of the staircase to go down.

At this moment, Ethan and the others hear no response from the men and the villa also quieted down.

"They're not responding."

"Are they dead?", a man asked.

"That's not possible.He can't be powerful, right?", Ethan murmured.

"I'll go there!No.Let's go there all of us.There's still of you.", Ethan said.

"Sire.Ethan and all the others are planning to go inside.Should we move?", a man under Xavier watching the killers several meters away behind a tree reported to Xavier.

Xavier who just came back to the hobby room watched Ethan and his men from a glass transparent wall from the second floor.

"W-What about Lia?", Eloise suddenly voiced out which made Ethan stop his tracks.He turned around and glared at Eloise angrily.He was in this situation because of Eloise.He remember his father said, 'They long have an evidence and was just tolerating us from the start.Old man Casimiere was so angry that you touched the princess.If only you didn't touch the Princess of Country N.'

"Shut up!!This is all because of you now!You kill her yourself!", he shouted angrily at her which made her stunned and scared but Ethan didn't care anymore.

He clenched his fist angrily.

"If only you have told me you tried to kill Lia.If only you didn't hide it from me.I wouldn't have touched that woman.Maybe I can still be a clan's leader candidate.I can be the leader!You!You destroyed it all!You know what, you're not helping me at all.You are just a leech.A heavy baggage.", Ethan coldly said to her making her feel scared.

"Give me a gun.", Ethan said to a man beside him.

Eloise's eyes went wide and her face went pale.

"W-W-What?", she murmured in disbelief and her body trembled.She can't believe Ethan can kill her.He was her comrade.He was her boyfriend, her lover!

Ethan got a gun and her pointed it to her forehead.Eloise hitched and trembled even more.

Xavier felt amused watching Ethan pointing a gun at Eloise.He thought that two are a couple, it seems that they're not.

"Can u see it, Xue?", Xavier spoke in amusement.

"It's blurry due to the glass--Just stay there!Dont go to the broken glass!", Lia said in panic, afraid he'll get hurt or shot by the enemy.

Xavier chuckled."Okay.", he softly said making Lia blush because she just made it obvious that she doesn't want him to die.

Eloise weakly slumped on the floor of the road.

For Ethan, colliding with this woman was his biggest regret.She used him.He used to like her but she was still in love with Xavier.He never benefited from her at all.

"I-I am your l-l-lover, right?D-Dont you love me?", she tried to beg.

"Talk to yourself.You don't love me at all.A b*tch like you who destroys everyone's life shouldn't exist.", he coldly said before shooting Eloise.

A loud bang was heard from the outside of the villa's gate.

"Hah.He really killed her.", Xavier said feeling amused.

Suddenly, helicopters can be heard.

"Forget it.Let the helicopter kill the two.", Ethan said with a smirk hearing the helicopter.

"Enemy helicopter incoming.", Xavier heard from the radio transmitter.

Xavier panicked.The appearance of the helicopter was now a disadvantage for them.The helicopters have missiles and the house was now at risk for them to stay.

"Shoot the helicopter!Retreat!!", he ordered to his men and immediately went to the mirror and opened the secret door.

"Xue!Let's get out of here!", he said in panic and carried her like a sack on his shoulder before going out of the room.He carried her away before the helicopter began to shoot the two of them with automatic cannon from the bullet proof glass.
