Chapter - 58
Lucius kept smiling as he aimed the gun straight at Elena's head.
She didn't flinch. She stared back, calm, but her eyes filled with disdain and anger.
This was the same guy she tried to save just a few minutes back. And now he was standing in front of her with a smile, ready to take his shot.
The Predator watched closely, a wild grin stretched across his wrinkled face. The masked men behind him leaned forward, eager, ready for blood. The police officers, still kneeling with their hands behind their heads, shut their eyes tight.
And then, Lucius slowly pulled the trigger.
BANG!
The gunshot echoed like thunder.
Predator's smile widened as he heard the gun go off. The smile on his face held for a second more, and then… it faded.
His eyes narrowed. Confusion. Then realization.
Lucius looked at him, wide-eyed and innocent, like he had no idea what just happened.
Then he smirked.
And Elena was still breathing. A thin, sharp gust had brushed past her cheek.
