CHAPTER 254: CHAPTER 254: AMIDST BULLETS AND GUNFIRE, YOUNG MASTER DAVIES STANDS FIRM PROTECTING MELODY...

A real assassination has commenced.

On Adrian’s side, there were only Barrett Carter, Ned Faris, Patrick Faris, Locke, and Rowan, five in total.

But the black-clad assassins that came this time numbered in the dozens.

Inside the laboratory, the moment the gunfire started, Adrian opened his eyes like those of a leopard.

However, he did not rise.

He just worriedly glanced at the woman in his arms, concerned that the disturbing gunshots would awaken her from her good dream.

Seeing that the woman in his arms was still sound asleep, unaffected by the gunfire, Adrian was relieved.

Unwavering as a mountain, he listened to the continuous gunshots outside and, holding the unconscious Melody Parker, closed his eyes again.

Outside the laboratory, Barrett Carter, Ned Faris, Patrick Faris, and others fought like gods of death, fiercely and decisively combating the dozens of black-clad masked assassins.

Their one against ten battle repeatedly resulted in killing the black-clad men.

The fight continued from midnight until dawn.

Once they exhausted every bullet in their guns, they seized weapons from the black-clad men...

When the battle ended, the area outside Tannis’s laboratory was strewn with corpses.

Locke and Patrick Faris had both been shot, and Barrett Carter was also covered in wounds...

When Tannis opened the laboratory door and saw the bodies and the glaring blood everywhere, he shook his head, saying, "This is just a sin!"

Seeing Locke and Patrick Faris, standing tall despite being shot in the leg and arm, respectively.

Looking at the severely injured Barrett Carter and the two others who seemed to return from hell, covered in blood, Tannis quickly spoke up, "Do you want to die? Come in quickly, and let me treat your wounds!"

Locke had an arm injury.

He glanced at the bloody wound, face cold, and said, "Tannis, see to them first. I’m fine."

Saying this, Locke stepped into the laboratory.

The other four followed him in without a word.

Inside the laboratory, Adrian was already up.

He returned to his prior position, motionless as he watched the person sleeping on the bed.

Hearing footsteps, Adrian slowly turned to face the five standing across from him.

They stood before him, covered in blood, their eyes still firm.

Locke looked at Adrian and respectfully reported, "President, all the people outside have been dealt with."

"Mm." Adrian responded indifferently, then asked coldly, "Are they Bella Sutton’s people?"

"This..." Locke hesitated, and finally voiced his conjecture, "They should be."

These people did not carry heavy weapons, clearly with some hesitations.

Moreover, only Bella Sutton could dispatch so many assassins, learn the president’s whereabouts so easily, and know that there was an injured person in Tannis’s lab, just to kill the wounded Miss Parker.

Adrian frowned, his voice chilling, "Should be?"

Locke nodded and shared the only valuable information extracted from the assassins’ mouths, "Their mission was to kill the woman in the laboratory at all costs."

"Hmph! Kill my woman!" Adrian’s dark eyes glinted chillingly, "Ha, she truly has no remorse!"

With a chilling smile on his lips, he directly dialed a number, "From this moment, hand all the evidence against the Sutton family we hold to the police, report all illegal companies of the Sutton family! Also, extract two hundred people from the base; send ten to Tannis, and let the rest target Sutton’s gang!"

"Yes!" the other end responded respectfully.

Adrian hung up the phone directly, looked at the still-standing group, and coldly said, "Let Tannis treat your injuries."

By now, the sun had already risen high.

Tannis looked at Adrian, speaking with regret, "Ah... love is truly such a harmful thing! ... Who would have thought, that for love, you would end up like this with Sutton."

As he spoke, Tannis looked at the bloodstained five and sighed deeply, "Ah... you young people! It’s one thing to disregard your own lives, but dragging others along with you too! It’s a sin, truly a sin!..."

He then glared at the five, "Which one of you will come first?"

Before they could answer, he pointed directly at the severely injured Patrick Faris, "You, if you don’t want to die, come here quickly!"

Patrick Faris obediently walked over.

"Just look at all your injuries! I’m not trying to scare you, but if this bullet had been just a bit off, your leg would be completely useless!" Tannis said, inspecting the gunshot wound on Patrick’s leg, with the concern of a healer.

He continued to grumble, "Ah, and now around my lab, there’re so many dead people, how inauspicious is that! My place is for healing and saving lives!"

Adrian looked at Tannis, speaking coldly, "Come with me to River City, and I’ll give you an even bigger lab!"

"Go to River City?" Tannis laughed, turning to Adrian, "Haha, thank you for the thought, but there’s no need."

He turned back, cleaning Patrick’s wound, murmuring, "I’m planning to go to Country A for a symposium, then return to Whitehill to see my kids."

When he said this, Tannis bowed his head.

Thus, no one saw the loneliness in his eyes.

Seeing that Tannis had his plans, Adrian did not push him further and solemnly replied, "Alright."

Next, Tannis attended to the injuries of the five, while Adrian returned to sitting by the bed, gazing tenderly and sympathetically at the woman still peacefully sleeping.

...

Today in Europe, from the end of that gun battle, it was destined to be an extraordinary day.

Under the blazing sun, many long-hidden shadows could no longer hide and were directly exposed.

The Sutton family’s company located in Europe was directly visited by Interpol.

The darkness concealed under the bright sunlight was straightaway revealed, and all involved personnel in the company would be interrogated and detained, with the company’s head facing a life sentence.

At the same time, the factories under Sutton were undergoing fierce attacks by unidentified individuals.

These people acted swiftly and ruthlessly, with no room for negotiation, violently targeting the Sutton family’s black factories and underground casinos and other entertainment venues.

At this time in the Sutton castle, Irene was rushing towards Bella Sutton’s bedroom.
