âYes.â Emmeline then demonstrated her talent by shooting at the wrist of two guards. Together, they cleared all obstacles on the way.
When they were about to reach the elevator, Adam was there. He shot twice at Emmeline. When Abel heard the gunshot, he turned his body so that his bulletproof vest would take the hit instead of Emmeline. However, one of the bullets hit Abelâs shoulder, and the searing pain it caused almost made Abel drop Emmeline.
Right then, Benjamin came with an assault rifle. The first bullet grazed Adamâs hair. It was just a warning shot. Adam almost soiled his pants and decided to flee into the stairway.

As the police surrounded Imperial Palace, the media flocked to the place. They reported that a gang fight had taken place and caused many casualties. When the police found the injured Adrien on Floor 29, he was immediately sent to Ryker Hospital. Answering the policeâs questions, Adrien claimed that he was an unfortunate guest who was caught in the crossfire. There was no way he would rat out the entire family feud. After the interrogation, Adrien decided to call Abel
