It was the first time Genevieve had engaged in something like this. Her hands trembled slightly as she held the heavy object. But soon enough, she made up her mind and gave a determined nod.
She saw that Patrick had gotten down from the car and was entangled in a fight with the men who had pounced on him.
He was swift with his moves, and he didn’t hold back his strength at all. A punch from him sent one of the men flying, and they stayed on the ground.
The surrounding men widened their eyes at this, evidently shocked at the sight. They gritted their teeth and lunged at Patrick.
A few of the men even tried to take advantage of the fact that he was surrounded as they made their way to the taxi to capture Genevieve. However, they had just reached the side of the taxi when she quickly cocked the gun.
The woman raised the gun and fired at one of the car windows.
Pain shot through her palm from the recoil of the gun, and the bullet pierced right through the glass and into the man’s right shoulder.
At this moment, Patrick had finally escaped from the men who had surrounded him. He leaped over the boot of the car and kicked the men near the window, instantly knocking them down.
Soon, a few more black cars arrived and had them surrounded.
The military academy Patrick attended was not an ordinary one. He had to put his life at stake for each training session every day in order to toughen his body and achieve great stamina.
The number of injuries increased in the twenty minutes he fought the men, but he didn’t seem fatigued or fazed at all.
Although these men were entrusted with tasks in exchange for money, they were still human.
The remaining men couldn’t help but feel terrified of the man before them at the sight of the massacre. Countless bodies lay on the ground as if they were in a battle for life or death.
Right then, Genevieve climbed into the driver’s seat and swiftly started the car.
“Patrick!” she shouted.
Once Patrick opened the door and got into the car, she instantly stepped on the accelerator and sped toward the other side of the road, ramming into the black cars that were in their way.
Patrick casually reached up to wipe off the blood at the corner of his lips. He looked at Genevieve and said, “You did well, Genev.”
“I didn’t do much. I only used one of the bullets in the gun.” She took a glance at Patrick’s shirt and saw that it was covered in blood.
“You’re hurt,” she said with a frown.
Upon reaching the off-ramp, she quickly made a decision and made an exit. “Looks like we won’t be able to leave today…”
Seeing that she wasn’t speaking suddenly, Patrick thought that she was worried about not being able to leave. “I’ve already got the visa. I’ll get plane tickets for us, and we can leave by plane later.”
Genevieve shook her head. “I just… didn’t want to talk anymore because my voice is so ear-piercing.”
When her legs got burned previously, she was so disoriented that she couldn’t be bothered if the burns would leave a scar on her legs. However, right now, her words would travel through her right ear every time she spoke, and she couldn’t bear to listen to her own voice.
How she wished she could take out her phone and start typing.
“Your vocal cords have been eroded by drugs, after all. I’m the only one listening to you, anyway. I’ll get used to your voice, and once I do, I won’t think it sounds so bad,” Patrick consoled with a chuckle.
Genevieve’s spirit lifted a little. A slight smile surfaced on her face.
Once they stopped their car, Genevieve left for multiple pharmacies to buy bandages and some medicine. Then, she clicked into an app to look up hostels before booking a room for themselves.
“Is this really your first time doing stuff like this, Genev?” The man couldn’t stop himself from asking. “You’re quite good at avoiding detection.”
Not only did she go to separate stores to buy the stuff they needed, she even looked for people to buy them on her behalf.
“Those people know that you’re injured. They’ll definitely search the pharmacies one by one once they’re here. Besides, I’m wanted by the police now.”
Genevieve dragged a chair over and put the bandages and medicine on it. She then gestured for Patrick to take off his shirt.
