Chapter 1452 Shootout
Stillwater began fuming with rage at once, her body heaving up and down as she tried and failed to control it.
The man beside her quickly bent down and said a few things to calm her.
“Captain, please don’t attack them here. They are members of our penthouse. If anything happens to them, our reputation will not be the same,” the man said.
Stillwater only got angrier listening to that. “We are pirates, damn you! The worse our reputation, the better,” she said.
“No, captain. We must—”
“Move!” Stillwater pushed the man away and pulled something out from her chest. A golden coin.
On one side of the coin was the silhouette of a woman, and on the other side of it was a skull.
Tim noticed it and realized it was similar to the coin he had received earlier that morning. Only that one was silver, and this one was fully gold.
Stillwater flipped the coin in the air, watching it fall to the ground. Just as it was about to hit the table before them, Ning’s hand snaked out and grabbed the coin midair.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk,” Ning clicked his tongue. “Miss Stillwater, just because you are angry, does not mean you can curse us.”
Stillwater remained stunned for a second before realizing what had happened. Her hand reached for her gun, pulling it out at once as she pointed at Ning.
As soon as she acted, the rest of the people beside her acted all the same as well, pulling their guns out to point toward all four of them.
The man tried to stop the others but sighed as he brought out his gun too, shaking his head toward Ning and the others, letting them know that what they had done was not right.
“Hand over my coin or I will kill you all right here,” Stillwater said.
“You can try,” Ning said. “The last person that pointed his gun at me has his face blown off. And I don’t go easy just because you are a woman.”
Ning reached for her gun and held it by its barrel, slowly pulling it toward his own forehead. “Come on, I dare you to try.”
Stillwater’s face was one of shock as she never expected Ning to be crazy enough to have the barrel of her gun pointed at his forehead out of his own volition.
The men behind Stillwater changed their target to Ning, just waiting for their captain to give them the order.
Stillwater’s face was one of fury. She was surprised that there was someone who would actually dare her to shoot them. Did they not know about her reputation?
“You want me to shoot you?” Stillwater asked, her anger increasing every moment she did not have her coin. “Fine.”
And then she shot the pistol.
A sudden explosion destroyed the pistol in Stillwater’s hands, sending shards of tiny metal into her palm.
She cried out in pain at the same time, and as if taking that for the gesture to shoot, the people behind her shot at Ning.
The room was full of smoke at once, and a large scream filled the room even after the pistol shots had ended.
Jasmine and Elisa were the two to scream, while Tim and Tony weren’t moving.
Tim had been ready to do something with his box, but there wasn’t anything for him to do. Besides, he did not think Ning needed any help at all. He had seen Ning be shot before and he had caught the bullet in his hand that time.
As for Tony, his watch told him nothing bad was going to happen at all, so he wasn’t worried in the slightest. Still, the sudden gunshot was enough to send shivers down his spine and make his knees wobble.
Small clinking sounds pulled everyone’s attention after the loud gunshots, and when they looked to see what the source of the sound was, they noticed small pieces of flattened metal falling to the ground.
When they saw what it was, they were more than horrified to see that it was bullets that had flattened and had fallen to the ground.
A crunch pulled their attention again as Ning crushed the gun he held onto and let it drop to the floor.
Stillwater watched in horror at everything as she caught her bleeding left hand with fragments of the broken pistol on it.
When Stillwater first shot the pistol, the expanding air and smoke from the gunpowder had nowhere to release as Ning had the barrel of the pistol trapped on his forehead.
So, when she did shoot it, the explosion ended up having to find weaker links in the gun to release from, causing the back half of the pistol to explode on her, wounding her right now.
Ning dusted his clothes a little and reached for Stillwater.
“No!” Stillwater cried out in panic, ready to think that she was going to die. Only, Ning didn’t kill her.
Instead, she felt him gently touching her left hand. She opened it to see what he was doing and noticed the significant lack of pain in her left hand.
The wound on it was gone. Vanished.
“How…”
“You looked a bit too hurt, so I healed you,” Ning said with a smile and reached toward her face with a hand.
Stillwater remained still, not knowing what to do. She had just tried to kill this man, and instead of killing her, he had healed her. How? Why?
Questions floated in her mind, yet no answer came.
Just as she thought Ning was about to touch her chin, his hand jerked and one of the many necklaces she wore came loose.
When he took it away, she realized that it was her Zurin treasure that he had taken away.
“That’s my…” she tried to speak, but Ning turned to look at her, shutting her down immediately.
“I know what this is,” he said. He took out the coin.
“This will be the payment for you trying to kill me,” he said gesturing to the coin. Then he gestured to the necklace. “And this will be the payment for me not killing you in return.”
