Chapter 1003 Police Officers Arrived The gears in her mind began turning speedily as she analyzed the overwhelming amount of information she had just received. Has ZZ Organizationâs influence spread across the entire Lake City? Dixon is being manipulated by them too. Silvermoon seemed to be the only one responsible for the fire at Imperial Hotel bock then, but could it be that it was actually a collaborative effort between him, Howard, and Dixon? Also⦠when did Lucas discover that Dixon was also involved in the fire at Imperial Hotel? I canât help but feel that Lucas is a man with many layers. He helped me exact revenge by burning Haddock Group to the ground, and heâs also an exceptionally skilled shooting champion. Not a single one of his shots missed their targets.
Ashlynâs heart began to race. As she thought about how cool and handsome Lucas looked while he was shooting, her cheeks took on a scarlet hue.
What entered Ashlynâs mind was the image of a tall and slender man narrowing his eyes, which were filled with murderous intent, and raising his arm to take aim. Heâs so handsome! Iâve no doubt he can win against all the men here in seconds!
Just as her thoughts were running wild, the group of people beneath the tree had already left and were slowly getting out of sight.
It wasnât until they were completely out of his field of vision that Lucas carried Ashlyn in his arms and leaped down from the tree.
âSilvermoonâs the masked man that appeared on the day Imperial Hotel caught fire. He was the one who killed Howard,â Ashlyn muttered, almost in a whisper.
âI know,â was what Lucas said as he lowered his eyes.
Both of them then proceeded in the opposite direction of Hadesâ group.
The couple was aiming to escape the forest before sunrise.
Nevertheless, gunshots continued to reverberate throughout the vast and dense forest. The shrill screams sounded particularly harrowing in the dead of night.
The battlefield was extremely chaotic. Blood painted the entire ground scarlet, and there were corpses strewn everywhere.
The stench of blood lingering in the air was absolutely horrid.
Ashlyn and Lucas stared at the stomach-churning sight before their eyes. It wasnât any different from battlefields from ages past, and there were also many dismembered limbs scattered throughout the place.
Almost none of the corpses remained intact.
A person with a weak heart wouldâve thrown up after witnessing such a scene.
âSeems like there was another massacre here.â Lucas frowned as the edge of his eyes twitched.
Even he was slightly bothered by the ghastly sight. Almost none of the corpses are still intact. This isâ
Just then, the sound of police sirens could be heard.
Countless armed police, equipped with their full uniforms, gas masks, and machine guns, made their way into the forest.
After the various factions saw the intimidatingly powerful policemen, they began escaping in all directions.
However, those armed police officers had not an ounce of mercy toward the evildoers. They attacked and hunted down the outlaws without a hint of hesitation.
All of them were in the front lines.
Silvermoon didnât expect the police to arrive that quickly. A grimace settled on his countenance hiding behind the mask. âRetreat!â
âShould we still save Mr. Haddock?â a subordinate asked swiftly.
âLetâs leave! We canât save him!â As soon as Silvermoon ended his sentence, he turned around and bolted.
His surviving subordinates hurriedly followed behind him.
Similarly, when Hades and his group of people noticed the armed police, they swiftly made their escape as well.
They would be in huge trouble if they ended up getting caught.
As the sounds of machine guns firing echoed in the forest, the outlaws dropped to the ground one by one, dead.
âCapture their leader alive!â The captain of the special forces roared, âDo not let them escape!â
These terrorist groups are getting more and more audacious by the day! Theyâve even started smuggling people into the country. I canât believe these criminals are looking down on us law enforcers and conducting these businesses rampantly!
After living through a night of battling the terrorists, Cassandra and the others sat on the ground wearily as soon as the police officers arrived.
All of them were covered in dirt, especially Cassandra.
The girly dress she had on was a dirtied and tattered mess at that point. She wiped away the blood on her face and crawled over to see how Spencer was going.
