(Special mention for web novel [without space between the two words] reader aistitch)

...

Bang!

"Get down!"

The shout of a man reverberated. Neo pursed his lips as he lay down. However, his hand was ready to take his gun out. From his position, he could see Ashley suddenly moved her skirt slightly and took out a gun.

’...where did she put it?’

However, it was not the time for Neo to care so much. He knew that some rowdy people were still trying to attack this kind of party from time to time, but this was the first time he saw it happening in front of him.

"Where’s Katherine Rin?"

Neo’s heart tightened because he understood that they were targeting Ashley. Well, considering that her parents were very influential, it was not surprising that there would be a lot of enemies who wanted to target them too. Because of that, they were coming here today.

As a man walked inside with his gun ready, Ashley suddenly moved from her position. Her eyes were cold as her hand raised. She didn’t even hesitate as she pulled the trigger.

Bang!

"AAGH!"

The man yelled as he dropped to the ground. At the same time, several other men came inside from the door. As Ashley aimed at them, she made sure that they would die with just one bullet.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three men fell in succession. Neo didn’t even have a chance to move when he saw Ashley had killed them all. He understood almost immediately that she must have already experienced this a lot. At the same time, he noticed that her gun was one of the newest types that was launched overseas.

Agh, he felt jealous.

Neo noticed two men wanted to pounce on Ashley from behind. He also saw them coming closer, but didn’t make his move. He slowly raised his hand holding the small hand gun and shot the two men.

Bang! Bang!

The two men dropped to the ground.

Ashley looked at Neo with her eyebrows arched. "I see that you’re not an ordinary man."

"You’re not an ordinary high school girl too," Neo replied with a smile.

"If I want to live, I need to have self-defense skills."

At this time, the guards had rushed inside and quickly apprehended the rest of the men from the other room. Ashley had kept her gun behind her skirt once more as she stood up nonchalantly.

Neo kept his gun too and looked around him. Some other businessmen already knew that he came from the Ryukalin Clan and was known as the sniper there. Because of that, they were not surprised when they saw Neo took out a gun.

"Kate!" A middle aged man came from outside.

Ashley clicked her tongue, clearly feeling displeasure at her father’s appearance, yet she put on a face of a terrified young lady. She looked at her father with her large eyes as they started to become watery.

"Daddy, I’m scared."

Neo: "..." are you an actress?

However, the other guests didn’t realize that it was these two who finished the men. They were all too afraid to even lift up their head when the group of men had come inside the hall. Some people complained and the policemen came to handle the matter.

As they began to disperse, Neo also walked out of the hall and answered the policeman’s questions unhurriedly. Of course, he denied any involvement. As for the gun, it had mysteriously disappeared from his body and the police wouldn’t be able to find it even if they searched him.

Ring! Ring!

"Yes, Lou?"

"The incident is on TV. There are some people who are targeting Katherine Ashley Rin. Do you make a move to help her?"

"Yes." Neo didn’t even bother to hide it. He knew that after autopsy, it was easy to find out that the bullets were coming from his gun. There was no time for him to take out the bullets from their head.

Besides, he didn’t want to do that.

"Get back to the Ryukalin Clan quickly."

"Fine."

Neo sighed to himself as he walked to the parking lot. As he started the car, he noticed that there was also another car that was going in the same direction. He racked his brain quickly and recognized it as Ashley’s family car. Their mansion was located on the same street not far from Ryukalin Clan, so the main road that they needed to take should be similar.

He drove calmly not far from that car. From the window, he could see that Ashley was going home alone and her father was not with her. There was only one driver driving at the front.

’I guess her family situation is truly not simple with how they didn’t even bother to send her a lot of guards to protect her.’

However, Neo didn’t want to pry her more than that. They had only met two times in total and only went home in the same direction today. Just as he was thinking that nothing would happen, he noticed the car suddenly headed towards an alleyway.

’That’s not the direction to their mansion.’

Neo’s hand steered the car to enter the alleyway when he suddenly heard the sound of something breaking.

Bang! Prang!

His eyes widened when he saw the back window of the car broke and Ashley jumped out of the car. She rolled on the ground, ignoring the pain from the pieces of glasses that scratched her skin. At the next moment, the car had sped up and crashed on the wall.

BAM!

Ashley’s eyes were cold when she noticed that a lot of men had appeared from the other side of the intersection. They were holding many kinds of weapons, but there were no guns. Because the law to wield guns had been revised in this city lately, there shouldn’t be many guns circulated on the street anymore.

Looking at their direction, she estimated that there might be more than 30 men there.

"Heh, is it Elena or Carol?" Ashley asked coldy, uttering the name of her twin sisters.

The man at the front sneered. "Since you already know that they’re the one who asked us to come, you should just obediently surrender if you didn’t want to suffer."

"What do they want?" Ashley asked again lazily as her hand had already held the gun in her hand. She was still crouching on the ground, which allowed her to take the gun that she kept near her thigh.

"Of course, we won’t kill you, but we will make sure to give you some service," the leader said while licking his lips.

Ashley laughed coldly. "Do you think I’ll obey you?"

"Get her."

"Not so easy."

Her right hand raised the gun and began to shoot. While her left hand took a different gun and also shot. She obviously brought two guns with her.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

One by one they fell down. Even though they had tried to block using their weapons that they brought, it was a futile attempt. Ashley easily found a gap between their weapon and their body.

Click!

Ashley frowned when she heard the sound. Her gun was one of the latest types which could hold 18 bullets inside. With two guns, it meant that there were 36 bullets in total. However, there were still three men standing.

’I should have guessed that they wanted me to waste my bullets in the party so that I would still need to face at least five people.’

Ashley felt glad that there were only three guys left because Neo had helped her in the party earlier. She had learned martial arts, but she still took her phone and sent signals to her uncle.

The guys in front of her were stunned by her movement before they pounced on her.
