Fast -moving Astreille knocked down the men rushing in their direction. They easily killed hundreds of men as the four of them stuck together.
Nothing is more important than Astreille right now, he just needs to make sure Xord, his brother and his friends are safe.
If Asero needs her in exchange for keeping her loved ones safe, she'll go with that man to ensure their safety.
Even if he's the one to perish, just don't do them.
"Fuck. Where the hell is Xord?" Greg gasped as he fired at the opponents.
"He probably went to see Asero, we need to help him. That man is a fucking weirdo," Kyel said.
When the opponents around them were exhausted they immediately ran towards the direction where the exchange of gunfire was still going on.
Astreille's eyes watered when she saw Xord, effortlessly fighting those bunch of people on his own.
When their eyes met, she immediately saw different emotions in Xord's eyes. Guilt, anger, love and relief.
The four guys took over Chord's fights when they noticed that the couple needed some time. They surrounded the two as they were busy firing at the opponents.
"Astreille," Xord called her name, almost whispering. He shut his eyes before hugging her tightly.
Astreille closed her eyes to feel that moment. She misses Xord so much.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry if I was too late," she cried as she cried on his shoulder.
Laughing, the girl caressed the groom's back. "Shh, don't apologize to me. It's not your fault. Please, stop crying. I'm all fine, Xord."
"I was so worried about you. I didn't know what to do, baby. I almost d-died when I heard your call history with Jezreel. I thought I'm going to lose you."
Astreille smiled as she combed his soft hair. Earlier when fighting it was like a lion ready to kill everyone, but now, he's acting like a puppy.
"Oh, that's right, help help, boss," Teodore scolded the scene.
The girl laughed because of what he said. Xord glared at Teodore for ruining that moment.
Astreille just wiped the young man's tears before kissing him on the lips. "We need to arrest Asero first, he still has many plans to bring down your family."
Xord nodded his head. "I'll be the one to kill that asshole once I get to see him face to face."
"Boss! That's Steel! He's trying to escape!"
The two immediately looked in the direction Ephraim had pointed. Anger immediately welled up in Xord's chest when he saw the target running to escape.
"Stay here, I'll fucking kill that man. Take care of his men around us," Xord said coldly before chasing after Asero.
Astreille bit her lower lip when she saw how Reid ran after Xord. That woman was another one who was angry with the Knights. And she'll never Reid hurt her boyfriend.
The girl snuck in from the four men and quickly chased after Reid who now pointed the gun at her boyfriend.
Astreille grabbed her harshly before kicking her face. Reid was pushed back by the sheer force of the gain.
"You'll never get a chance to hurt him!" she angrily said before kicking Reid's stomach.
Even complaining, the woman still tried to get up from the fall to the ground. "I'll fucking kill you for these bruises!" it's an angry cry.
"You deserve that, Reid."
"Oh come on, Astreille! Stop talking like you're confident of killing someone. You couldn't answer me back then at the agency and then you're going to kick me now with your courage ?! What are you? A cry-baby con- artist ?! " its laughing cry.
Astreille clenched her fists when she remembered how those people bullied her.
"I clearly remember those days, Reid, that you could freely insult me in front of everyone. I clearly remember how weak I was back then." She returned the favor by laughing devilishly.
"And I am really confident about killing a person. I will not kill a person." She smirked. "Because I already did."
The girl angrily grabbed Reid's hair before pushing it to the ground. He never gave it a chance to get up. He immediately stepped on its neck and pressed.
Reid's face turned pale while trying to stop her.
Astreille can clearly recall those times that Reid bullied her non-stop. And now, she has the power to kill this woman.
The girl bent down to tweak the woman who had fallen on her chin again. He hit its head on the ground with all his might, he could even hear the cracking of its nose bones.
She's still not satisfied with that. He pointed the gun at its ear.
"You'll never have a chance to bully people weaker than you, ever again, Reid. Because I'm the one you once aggrieved the one who will kill you. Isn't that exciting? I'm just returning the favor, sweetheart." There is no doubt that Astreille shot the maiden's senses.
He even got up from his seat and a bullet rained down on his body. "I thought it would be hard to kill you. It won't even take me a few minutes. "She wiped her gun before walking away to follow Xord.
He shot all the men blocking his way.
When she finally got out of that place, she ran towards the direction where she could hear the noises of gunshots.
When he saw the man sneak in behind Xord he immediately shot him in the head.
She walked towards Xord's direction who's now talking to Asero. The girl even looked around at its personnel who pointed the guns in the direction of the two of them.
"You don't know how much I waited for this day to come! That I'll have a chance to meet the Knights," he said with a smile.
Xord clenched his jaw before holding her hand. "What do you want from me, Asero?"
"I fucking want your wealth! If I ask for your family's wealth will you give it to me ?!" It's like a mad cry.
"Am I a joke to you? Why would I give it to a man who's losing his sanity?"
"Exactly. You can't give what I want, Xord. In exchange, I want to see you suffering while watching your girlfriend die in front of you."
Xord immediately pulled the girl behind him as he pointed the gun at the bride.
"Don't you fucking dare point your dirty gun to my girlfriend, Asero," he threatened here.
Steel chuckled devilishly. It turned to the staff around. "If they shoot your girlfriend, you can't do anything about that. Or, you can just die at the same time--"
"I hate you so much! You are a monster!" Astreille shouted out of nowhere.
Xord quickly turned to the bride before touching her cheek. "Hush, baby, calm down."
Astreille glared at the man in front of her. "Stop blaming people that you became a monster because of them. You did that to yourself, Asero. You chose to be a monster so don't touch us!"
"How dare you? You don't even know what I have to go through so don't talk to me like that!"
"I will never understand your pain, but you have no right to harm innocent people who didn't do anything wrong to you. You know in yourself how much pain aggravated but you still do that to innocent people! You killed many people already, that's not enough for you and it won't be enough for you until everyone looks up to you. Do you think people will kneel down to you even though they know many have lost their lives because of ' yo ?! No! You will never be a god to them because you chose to do that to yourself rather than be happy with your family! " Astreille shouted angrily.
Asero lost the attention of everyone around him. Her brain repeatedly processes everything the girl says.
"You used to love me, Asero, we used to comfort each other back then. But because of your evil, you can kill me now. Even if I'm not at fault for you, you're still mad at me. So you don't have any right to blame people who have nothing to do with the pain you feel because you are the one who repeatedly repeats what you have gone through to yourself! " she added.
Steel shook his head. He's starting to lose his sanity. With tears in his eyes he looked up at the girl he once loved as a real child.
"You knew h-how much I wanted to stay as a good man, Astreille. You know that. But I'm fed up with these people's lies and sins! I can't blame me, you can't blame me," she cried.
Astreille wiped her tears. "No one told you to be like this, Asero. You chose to be like this. You have two choices while you're in pain. To take revenge or to remain unaware and choose a peaceful life. The world gave you two choices. When you choose the first, you have no guarantee that you will win because in the eyes of everyone, you are the bad one.If you chose to become silent and let me work on that, if you chose to have a peaceful life and tell me what you're going through, our lives will be better, Asero. But you chose to keep your problems to yourself, even though I'm here. You did that to yourself. "
She gasped when Asero pointed the gun on his head. Xord immediately alerted them to what the man had done.
Even though his eyes were dimming from crying, Asero still tried to look at the considered child for the last time.
"You grew up as an amazing woman, Astreille. I'll forever be proud that I became your father, even once."
"Daddy!" Astreille screamed when he shot himself.
The girl just stared blankly when the man fell into the ravine behind her.
She fell on the ground while crying silently. Xord quickly attended to him and hugged him tightly.
