Chapter 998 The Beginning Of A Fierce Battle Meanwhile, Cassandra never stopped firing her machine gun.
As for their subordinates, they were doing their best to pave a way out amidst the chaos.
Lucasâ eyes were filled with icy coldness, and his lips were curved into a cold smile as he watched on.
Now that Iâm trapped here with Ashlyn, I canât just sit idly by and do nothing. Most importantly, I canât let Ashlyn get hurt. I must protect her!
Cowardice was a term that could never be applied to him.
While Ashlyn was there to capture Dixon, he was there to kill and protect her.
Covering for Ashlyn and Cassandra as they broke out of the encirclement, Lucas put his gun down before a sneer spread across his lips.
At the same time, the tank rampaged forward, and Lucasâ gaze turned cold.
Just then, a soft sound suddenly rang out.
After scanning his surroundings, Lucas suddenly narrowed his eyes.
He planted one foot on a tree and propelled himself backward, narrowly dodging an oncoming bullet.
With a flip, he landed on the ground.
He then trained his dark eyes on a man who had suddenly appeared under a tree not far away.
The man was dressed in black and wore a hood that covered his face.
As such, all Lucas could see was the manâs tall and robust figure.
Ashlyn rushed to his side and frowned when she saw the man in the black hood, her eyes filling with strong killing intent.
This man just tried to kill Lucas!
âWho are you?â Ashlyn asked in a stern voice, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes sizing up the man in black.
As she spoke, her mind raced as she tried to analyze the situation.
She was surprised at how this man had appeared out of nowhere behind her and Lucas.
I can tell that this manâs skill is remarkable by the way he was able to catch us offguard and evade our detection. Being the clan leader of an ancient martial arts family, Lucasâ martial arts skills are seldom matched by others, and yet, it seems like this man could prove to be quite the trouble for us.
At that thought, a smile formed on Ashlynâs lips. So, he wants to kill me and Lucas, huh? Well, letâs see if he has the capability to do so, then!
âHehâ¦â Sebastian was instantly stunned when he saw Ashlynâs beautiful face.
He furrowed his brows and kept his gaze trained on the slender figure before him. For a moment, he was lost in thought, for the strong murderous aura emanating from the woman surprised him.
This woman is not on ordinary person. Although the night is full and our surrounding is dark, I can still feel the strong hostility coming from her. Her exquisite features make her appear as enchanting as the spirits of the forest in the deep darkness of the night. If it werenât for the presence of the man beside her, I would have thought that this woman did not belong here. Speaking of the man⦠he is extremely handsome and exudes a strong and intimidating aura. Coupled with his dark clothing, I can see that he is used to others being fearful of him.
Staring at the manâs handsome face, Sebastian pursed his lips.
He couldnât help but narrow his eyes as his intuition told him that the man and woman in front of him would be very difficult to deal with.
âOh? Did your employer fail to mention who we are?â Ashlyn raised the gun in her left hand and stared at Sebastian with a fierce look in her eyes. She was irked by the manâs mocking laughter earlier.
No matter who this man is, Iâm certain I can finish him off.
For some reason, Sebastianâs instincts were telling him not to get entangled with the woman before him.
This woman is exuding such a strong sense of hostility and murderous intent. In fact, the intensity is so strong that it makes even me, a professional assassin, feel rather intimidated.
With that thought in mind, Sebastian decided to wrap up the fight as quickly as he could.
Subsequently, a cold snort escaped from Lucasâ lips.
Before Ashlyn could make her move, he shot forward like a bolt of lightning, sweeping up a gust of wind in his wake.
Ashlyn knitted her brows when she saw Lucas charging forward.
Soon after, she noticed Sebastianâs eyes going wide.
