Chapter 824 Actions Speak Louder Than Words Thinking that the elderly professor had followed him, Seamus turned around subconsciously.
The moment he turned around, Benjamin moved as quick as lightning and swung a punch at the formerâs head.
The blow knocked Seamusâ spectacles askew, but he did not loosen his grip on the gun. He pointed the gun at Benjamin, ready to pull the trigger.
However, Benjamin was faster and more ruthless than Seamus. He pinned the latterâs arms to his sides and managed to maneuver the gun in time so that it pointed toward the pharmacyâs ceiling and merely fired into the air.
Bang!
The piercing sound of a shot fired rang out.
Immediately after that, a dogfight between the two men ensued.
Seamus gripped the gun tightly, desperately trying to aim it at Benjamin again.
Using one hand to grab Seamusâ hand that held the gun, Benjamin balled his other hand into a fist and punched the manâs eye repeatedly.
Every blow was accompanied by the sickening crunch of a fist against bone and flesh.
The lens in Seamusâ spectacles shattered, and as Benjamin continued raining punches, the broken pieces cut into the formerâs skin, leaving a bloody mess around his eye.
Despite the acute pain, Seamus did not dare to let go and continued struggling to point the gunâs barrel toward Benjamin with all his strength.
âArgh!â
The back of Benjaminâs hand was raw and bleeding by the time he delivered his final blow, and it also drove the shards of the broken lens into Seamusâ eye.
Unable to bear the pain, Seamus raised his hands to cover his eye, and Benjamin quickly seized the opportunity to knock the gun out of his hand.
Having lost his gun and suffering in agony from his injured eye, Seamus flew into a rage and attacked Benjamin again.
Although lacking in fighting skills compared to Benjamin, he was much more adept at employing underhanded tricks. He would resort to striking his male opponents in the crotch whenever he got into a fight. Thus attacked, Benjamin was temporarily incapacitated and could not even retaliate.
Suddenly, Seamus formed a claw with his fingers, intending to gouge Benjaminâs eyes out while the latterâs guard was down.
But just as his fingers were only two or three inches away from Benjaminâs eyes, he suddenly felt something cold and hollow pressing on his temple.
âYou!â
He knew full well what was pressing against his head at that moment.
Natalieâs red lips parted as she said slowly and clearly, âIf you dare to injure his eyes, Iâll kill you with a single shot. If you donât believe me, youâre more than welcome to test it yourself. Test and see whether Iâm lying to you.â
Hearing that, Seamus dared not act rashly.
Benjamin quickly spun around, twisted Seamusâ arms behind his back, and pinned him to the floor.
But even as Seamus bled from his mouth, he declared arrogantly, âDo you think you can escape? Kill me, then! Kill me if you dare! Iâm telling you. You canât escape! Mr. Gale is already on his way!â
âShut up!â Benjamin growled.
Instead of expressing her frustration verbally like Benjamin, Natalie chose to make her point through her actions by shooting Seamus once in the shoulder.
Bang!
Following the loud bang of a gunshot, Seamusâ shoulder started to bleed.
Natalie had taken aim carefully. Although she did not hit any of Seamusâ vital points, it was enough to let him have a taste of excruciating pain.
âYou...â Seamus began, groaning in pain. He had not expected her to actually fire at him.
Aiming the gun straight at his temple, Natalie sneered, âWerenât you acting all cocky just now? Why are you behaving like a wimp now? I have no interest in taking your life. As long as you tell me how to get out of here, Iâll spare you.â
Seamus snickered. âDonât hold your breath on that!â
Not wanting to waste her breath, Natalie fired another shot at his left shoulder.
Overwhelmed with pain and shock, Seamus stared at her wordlessly.
In a frosty tone, Natalie continued, âJust as you said, Mr. Gale is on his way right now. I donât want to waste time dilly-dallying with you here. All I want now is to know where the exit is to escape this place.â
