Chapter 64
Chapter 64
Scott dashed away humiliated after being beaten up by a woman in front of everyone.
"Cousin, they humiliated me! Please do something. Teach them a lesson," he told Frank over the
phone the minute he got away.
"What? Are you injured?" Frank just got bandaged when he picked up the phone. He couldn't be
angrier.
Scott was his cousin who was only here to visit for a few days. He wasn't even a local.
They both enjoyed their rich family fortunes which they spent for fun. The way they saw the world was
pretty much the same.
The past few days had not been great for Frank. He had been angry and frustrated because of what
happened to him. Now that his cousin was beaten up. Perhaps it was time to finally let it out on
someone.
"I'm near the cafe in East Avenue," said Scott quickly. "Send someone here now, before they get
away!"
"Wait for me, I'm on my way." Frank took some of his henchmen and went on his way.
In the cafe, Bella drank her coffee quietly as if nothing had happened. She smiled at Peter seductively,
pursing her sexy lips once in a while.
'She's such an alluring woman!'
Peter kept glancing at Bella, unable to stay calm. He didn't dare to look at her straight in the eyes for
fear that he'd end up like Scott.
"I thought you were a tough guy. Why are you avoiding my eyes? Look at me. It's okay."
Bella slowly stroked her hair enamoring Peter even further.
"Hmm... Miss Song," Peter said sighing. "Why do you behave so violently? Aren't you afraid no one will
marry you?"
"I got you, don't I?" Bella said as she licked her red lips provocatively. "You said I would be responsible
for you and that's all I want. I just want you by my side. I don't need anyone else to marry me."
Unsure on how to respond, Peter decided it was best to change the topic. "Okay, you're done with
coffee. Let's go."
"Okay!" Bella nodded as she stood up to pay the bill.
Just as she was about to go, Peter grabbed the coffee cup and smashed it to the ground. Then, he
jumped and pulled her down to her seat.
"What are you doing, you bastard?" Bella screamed angrily.
'What's wrong with Peter? Is he so crazy that he wants us to have sex in public?'
"Let go of me! Loosen your grip!"
Her heart beat fast with sheer embarrassment as Peter put his body against hers. She protested with
her hands by continuing to beat at his chest.
"Shush!" Peter pressed her down with his hand and slapped her ass forcefully with the other.
"Jerk!" Bella hadn't finished her words, when
she heard a loud sound.
It was a gunshot! The bullet flew through the seat where she sat just a second ago and hit a customer
behind it.
"AHHHH!"
The customer screamed as his blood gushed out of the wound.
The cafe went into total chaos. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
All the customers were frantic. Some got down with their hands above head, and the others rushed to
get out.
Bella went pale and trembled in fear.
She finally realized that Peter saved her life.
The thought of her so close to dying made her want to cry.
"Just stay here and don't move," Peter told Bella as he turned and kicked the coffee table heavily.
Crash! As the table flew a few feet above the ground, Peter gave it another kick to send it backward.
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
In a second, the coffee table was full of holes.
Stray bullets were all over the place hitting innocent customers. They screamed knowing that they were
all in grave danger.
The shooter was a foreign man with robust features. He wore a suit that would have made him look like
a gentleman, were he not shooting like a maniac. The still smoking gun in his hands showed that he
was a merciless hitman, in fact, a famous one. His hitman code name was Gentleman. As part of the
world's top 100 Most Wanted, his brutality and skill as a mercenary were known to all.
He was notorious enough to rank so high among millions of hitmen in the world.
Gentleman was not very interested in the task at first. Killing a local entrepreneur didn't appeal to
him.However, it was an order so he had to do what he was told.
He expected that killing Bella would be simple and easy, but things were exceeding his expectations.
Gentleman sent more bullets that poked more holes into the flying table. Shoving it aside, he stepped
and pointed his gun at Bella again.
This was his last chance. Whether it hit her or not, he must escape immediately.
Peter pulled Gentleman down and kicked his wrist forcibly.
There were so many innocent people around. The gunman's hand was a huge threat to their lives.
Failing to notice Peter because of the table, Gentleman was unable to react.
He was about to pull the trigger when Peter hit his hand. The gun fell to the ground.
Gentleman quickly evaded the scene without hesitation.
He knew that he had failed for now. Staying any longer could get him arrested.
Gentleman was quick to make up his mind.
Seeing him leave, Peter likewise decided it was best to let him go.
It wasn't the right time to fight him. Too many innocent people could get hurt.
It was also possible that there were more hitmen in the cafe, so Bella still wasn't safe even after
Gentleman left.
"Are you okay?" Peter asked Bella as he helped her up.
"I'm fine." Bella nodded calmly, though still pale.
"Do you have any idea who sent the hitman to murder you?" Peter suddenly remembered the 10 million
dollar reward.
"I have no idea." Bella shook her head. "Business is a war without bullets, so I have a lot of enemies.
But I can't figure out who hates me that much to murder me!"
"Wait, you mean that crazy shooter was sent to kill me, specifically?" Bella asked suddenly realizing the
implication of Peter's question.
"Yes. He's a hitman. Someone posted a 10 million dollar reward for your head." Peter nodded. He
figured that it was best to tell Bella so she'd be prepared to defend herself.
"Ten million dollars?" 'Whoever is behind this must hate me deeply, ' she thought.
Peter told her about the two hitmen several days ago to possibly give her clues.
Still, nothing rang a bell.
