Chapter 9

Seth waited for the doctor, as he sat opposite the operating room. His hands were cold like a snowman on Christmas morning, he was scared, and he thought that it was a normal reaction humans develop when their business partner is badly hurt.

Seth contemplated his emotions, maybe it wasn't a feeling you'll feel for a normal partner, maybe Ava has finally made the devil vulnerable. The thought of almost losing Ava crossed Seth's mind, he clenched his fists.

"Sir?" The surgeon opened the door.

"Will she be alright?" Seth asked

"She lost a lot of blood." The surgeon hesitated "But with some rest and medications, she'll be on her feet in a few days." He stretched out his hands giving Seth the list of meds.

"Thank you," Seth said as he walked towards the elevator.

Ava was going to be alright and he was glad, he entered the elevator, and Seth had this smile on his face. His eyes filled with rage, he thought Essie was someone he could rely on but Essie crossed the line by laying a finger on Ava.

Seth was going to destroy the Yowun family and he was going to give Essie a slow and painful death.

"That's better," Sensei Yen said with satisfaction. Macy blushed a little as she kept kicking the punching bag.

"Sir!" One of Seth's Sentinel ran towards Yen with his legs bleeding. "The front gate has been breached, we're receiving heavy gunfire."

Sensei Yen knew this day would come and he hopes that Macy was ready for actual combat.

"Sergeant, I need you to take Macy to the escape boat and leave this place" Sensei Yen commanded.

"No sir, I still have some fight in me," He said as he hold up his rifle.

The ground shakes as Angela's men broke down the gate.

"RUN!" Sensei Yen yelled pushing Macy.

She ran inside the mansion and went straight to her room, wearing her bulletproof vest, reloading her short gun clip, and taking some extra bullets. Macy opened the door slowly as she watched her six, she suddenly heard Claire screaming.

Angela's men were taking her away, Claire tried kicking and hitting them but it was no use. The men suddenly fell to the ground as Macy shot them from behind, Claire's eyes got watery as she hugged Macy.

"Are you alright?" Macy asked.

Claire smiled as she nods her head.

"Great, let's go!" Macy holds Claire's hand as they started running.

The front door was already blocked, she had no notice but the go through the back door. The boat Sensei Yen talked about was just two yards away, a bullet whizzed passed Macy's ears.

"Fuck!" She entered the kitchen, blocking the doors. "Fuck, fuck, fuck." Macy kicked the door.

"Do you need armor?" Claire asked.

"Yeah."

"The armory is close by," Claire said pointing at a door through the kitchen window.

Macy saw the door but the only way to get there is to make a run for it, she looked at Claire who wasn't wearing a vest. Macy had only three bullets left, she pulled Claire close giving her the bulletproof vest she was wearing.

"Make a run for it, I'll be right behind you," Macy said looking Claire in the eyes.

Macy unblocked the doors, the kitchen door was a metal door, the type of door that will make a lot of noise when it's being opened. Macy pushed the door slowly but it was no use, some men around noticed and started firing.

Claire ran towards the armory, Macy was right behind her, she had three bullets left and the armory was two minutes away.

She shot the first bullet, which made Angela's men focus on her instead of Claire. She stopped and took cover, Claire was almost at the door. Macy noticed one of Angela's men targeting Claire, she quickly stood up and shot him, taking that shot made her vulnerable. A bullet went straight through her left shoulder, she fell to the ground taking over.

Claire made it to the armory, Macy was glad, she had only one bullet left and she was bleeding out. The only way to make it to the armory was to make a run for it, she took a deep breath as she felt her left hand getting numb.

Macy looked up and saw the chandelier, she aimed at it shooting it down with her last bullet, while the men tried dodging it. Macy made a run for it.

Seth took Richman's mercenaries as they broke into Essie's house, Seth had already taken down their company in the pace of two days. The family was going broke, he called in a favor from the second-richest family in China.

The mercenaries were well-trained, taking down Essie's guards was nothing to them. They were all fighting masters, their fighting skills can't be matched with that of a security guard.

Essie was tied up with his wife and kids, the mansion was filled with corpses. Seth walked around looking at the beautiful mansion as he puts one bullet in his gun.

Seth was going to play Russian roulette with Essie.

"Let's start with her." He points at Essie's wife, as one of the mercenaries dragged her out.

Seth rolled his clip.

"We can work something out please." Essie pleaded.

"Work something out? You didn't say that when it came to Ava"

"Don't do it, she's all I have, take my life instead."

"Don't worry, I will," Seth said as he points the gun at Essie's wife.

"If I pull the trigger three times and the bullet doesn't come out, she gets to live," Seth said as he pulled the trigger.

Essie's kids cried as they looked away, but the bullet didn't come out. Seth sighed.

"Killing her immediately isn't any fun," Seth said as he pulled the trigger and shot her right shoulder.

She cried in pain as she fell to the ground.

"P-please." She begged.

Seth ignored her pleading as he reloads his gun, the mercenary puts her back on her knees. He shot her left shoulder and points the trigger at her head.

"N-no please, God no!" Essie cried as he saw his wife in pain, she was bleeding out.

Seth heard the little kids crying, he turned his head. Was he going to kill a beautiful family? Yes, he was! he gave Essie's wife a headshot as she fell to the ground lifeless.

Seth dragged Essie, he took a knife from his pocket and stabbed Essie's chest, Essie screamed in pain. Seth cuts off Essie's earlobe and forced him to eat it, slitting his wrists, Essie was dying slowly.

Seth cleaned the knife on Essie's body, as he walked towards the door.

"What about them?" the mercenary asked Seth looking at the kids.

"Take them somewhere safe, they're just kids, I've nothing against them," Seth said as he walked out.

Macy puts gunpowder on her wound as she lights it up, she screamed in pain. Claire helped patch her up, the armory was filled with weapons and grenades.

"There's no fucking vest!" Macy said.

She took a knife, M4-16, Pistol, and Scar-L.

"Stay close." Macy looks at Claire as she cocks the M4-16 "Let's get out of this hellhole!"
