This time, both sides had thoroughly confirmed that those men were most likely a third party. However, they weren’t sure who the third party was targeting!
At that moment, Sean rushed over with a dark expression. “Boss… An unknown organization has gathered downstairs. I don’t know who they are targeting.”
“What did you say?” Mason stood up abruptly. The mission this time was carried out secretly. Therefore, the only ones that could discover his whereabouts were professional organizations. In other words, it was an assassination squad. Most of these organizations were either moved by money or secretly trained by certain countries.
Janet suppressed the light in her eyes. “No matter who they are targeting, we need to work together to ensure our safety!”
“Work together?” A sneer appeared on the corner of his lips. “How can you guarantee that that organization is not working under your orders?”
He did not believe that this woman could clear herself of his suspicions just by putting on a nervous act. After all, women as successful as her would surely have great acting skills!
She bit her lower lip. I really want to pry open this man’s head and see just what is going on inside that head of his! Looks like ‘Rose’ has had too much influence on him.
“Because I—” She was about to reveal her identity and remove her mask. At that moment, a gunshot rang out from the outside! She froze mid-motion and secretly swore in her heart.
On the other hand, the scowl on the man’s face grew deeper and more solemn when he heard the gunshot. If these black-clothed men are not working under Rose’s orders, then we will surely attract the enemy’s attention if all three of us tried to escape this place. It will be hard to keep all of us alive once we attract the enemy’s attention. We would most likely die here together. Under these circumstances, I can only guarantee Sean’s escape so that he can go out and call for help. Turning his head, he commanded in a low and cold voice, “The other party has powerful backing. Find a way to get out of here and call for help. Bring in everybody under the Lowry Family and Black Rain.”
The man was clearly prepared for the worst. Despite the hesitation that flashed through Sean’s eyes, he could not disobey his master’s command. Thus, he could only reply solemnly, “Yes, sir.”
Meanwhile, Janet reloaded the gun she confiscated just now and tossed it to the man. She icily said, “I’ll return this to you.”
When the man heard her voice, he swiftly caught what she threw at him.
At the moment, the teahouse was so silent that it was terrifying… If my guess is correct, all the people in the teahouse have either escaped or been subdued. If that’s the case, we are the only two people left in this building. Following that line of thought, this group of black-clothed men is most likely here for one of us. She placed her hand on her weapon. Pursing her lips, she maintained constant vigilance of her surroundings.
Bang! Gunshots rang out again as bullets swept toward them from the front. Janet stepped sideways and dodged the bullets. Following that, a group of assassins rushed at her directly.
“Mason,” she subconsciously called out his name.
Mason was momentarily taken aback when she called out his name. However, he swiftly dodged their attackers in the next moment. The two of them hid inside another room together. After that, they heard the voice of one of the black-clothed men coming from outside the door. “Don’t use guns. Don’t attract people here.”
She held a gun in her hand. Her palms were covered in a layer of cold sweat, and sweat dripped from her forehead.
Mason glanced at her expressionlessly before shifting his cold gaze away abruptly. There was no trace of emotions in his eyes.
Janet felt a little annoyed with him. Remaining vigilant, she cautiously whispered, “Look at what a pathetic situation I’m in right now. Do you believe me now that these men are not working for me?” If they are working for me, why would I be hiding from them?!
