Natasha's soft and gentle demeanor from before was gone. She stepped forward and kicked the sniper in the face! The latter immediately started bleeding profusely. It was a tragic sight.
"Who told you to shoot?!" Natasha's ferocious look sent a chill down everyone's spines.
Although all of Baldwin's subordinates knew that Natasha was not only their boss's think tank and plaything, but also the boss's most threatening bodyguard, they had never seen Natasha hurt anyone.
Natasha's first move today was so vicious. How could they not be afraid? Even Courtney could not help but break out in a cold sweat.
The sniper's face was covered in blood. His voice was filled with fear and grief. "Stop shooting … I … I was just working for the boss, for the corporation … I didn't do anything wrong. Why are you doing this to me?"
After saying that, the sniper spat out two teeth. His face was filled with fear and resentment. He could not understand why Natasha would treat him like this.
In his opinion, he had destroyed the computer containing the boss's secrets with one shot, preventing the secrets from being taken away by outsiders. He had done something meritorious.
It was fine if he did not get a reward, but he was punished violently by Natasha. It was hard to accept!
"Working for the corporation? Working for the boss? Is this what you're doing?! "Natasha said fiercely." Do you know how much danger you're putting the boss in?! "
The sniper still could not understand. "Although the boss is in the hands of those two, there are so many of us surrounding them. They definitely won't dare to do anything to the boss! Unless they don't want to live anymore! "
"They dared to attack the boss. They dared to hold the boss hostage and enter the study to get the list when surrounded by so many of us. It means that they aren't afraid of death!" Natasha's eyes burned with anger.
At that moment, the sky was starting to brighten. Everyone who had stayed up all night was mentally exhausted. People in this situation were the easiest to get angry, and Natasha was no exception.
Originally, the situation was under control, but this shot would definitely enrage Xu Yun and Lin Ge. Natasha did not dare to imagine the terrible consequences if those two attacked the boss!
Once that happened, the entire Baldwin Group would fall into chaos. Everyone would go crazy, and everything would go out of control. This was something that Natasha did not even dare to think about, but now it was really possible for it to happen.
"Have they already made a move on the boss?" the sniper asked in horror.
These words made everyone who was in a sleepy period perk up. Everyone was stunned by the question. No one knew the boss's current situation. No one knew if the two people inside had already made a move on the boss!
Courtney exclaimed, "Everyone, get your weapons ready!"
Hundreds of people began to pick up the guns and ammunition on the ground and began to load bullets into the magazines. Each of them looked flustered, afraid that they would miss something if they were a step too late.
"Are you crazy?!" Natasha said angrily, "Stop! Before confirming the boss's condition, everyone had better behave themselves! No one should do anything to provoke the other! Put down your bullets! Right away! "
Courtney was furious as well. "Those two are fugitives! If we can't take the initiative at a time like this, once they make a move on the boss and try to escape, what are we going to use to kill them? Can you guarantee that we will be able to subdue those two with our bare hands? "
"Courtney! Are you crazy?! If something happens to the boss, I will be the first to know! "Natasha raised her wrist.
There was a smartwatch on her wrist. The smartwatch was bound with a software that could monitor Baldwin's heart rate at any time. The device had always been on Baldwin's neck, allowing Natasha to know Baldwin's heart rate at any time.
Baldwin's heart had some minor problems. This was a device made for his safety and health. Now, however, it had a new function.
Courtney was speechless.
If Baldwin were to die, Natasha would be the first to know. The smartwatch would issue a warning. At present, the smartwatch was operating normally. It only showed that Baldwin's heart rate was increasing.
Based on this, Natasha could tell that Baldwin's current situation was not good. At the very least, he was feeling fear.
Natasha was certain that if the boss was feeling fear, it meant that the two of them really dared to kill him. Otherwise, considering the storms that the boss had experienced, he would not have his heart rate fluctuate over such a small matter.
At present, Baldwin was feeling very nervous. Thus, the display of his heart rate on the smartwatch was very unstable.
"Since you know that they did not make a move, why are you doing this to him?" Courtney had to ask. The sniper was a young man whom Courtney admired. He was a sniper who had been fired from the Marine Corps. It was said that he had insulted a Korean woman back when he was stationed in Korea and was sent back to his country.
Although the young man was rough around the edges, he was bold and meticulous. Otherwise, he would not have created such a storm on his own.
Perhaps this was why Courtney admired the sniper. Courtney himself was a bold and meticulous person when he was young, and because of this, Baldwin appreciated him and put him in an important position. Therefore, Courtney valued people who had similar personalities to him.
"Then, what should I do? Indulge him? "Natasha said." He did something outside of his orders! He put the boss in danger. Should I praise him? Courtney, I know you admire him. However, this is not the time for you to admire your 'younger self', all right? This is all about the boss's safety! "
Courtney was angered by Natasha's sharp words. "What do you mean by that? Are you questioning my motives? Are you doubting that I was the one who arranged this? "
"He is one of your men. Don't think I don't know that." Natasha glared at him. "If you did not arrange for him to do so, would he climb up to the roof of someone else's villa?"
Courtney was rendered speechless by Natasha's words. That was the truth. He did arrange for the sniper to shoot. However, he did not order the sniper to shoot. What happened later made it impossible for him to tell the sniper not to shoot. Thus, the sniper was unaware of Natasha's latest order.
Natasha looked at Courtney and said, "Why aren't you saying anything? Why don't you deny it? Tell me he is not one of your men! Do you dare tell me that? You have no way of telling me he is not one of your men! Because he is one of your men, isn't he? "
"I was the one who arranged it! I was also the one who gave the order! However, all of this was for the sake of the company! " Courtney admitted. "I told him not to hurt the two people inside. I was worried that the two of them would fly into a rage out of humiliation. I was also the one who told him not to let the two of them obtain the secrets on the boss's computer. Were all of those decisions wrong? Do you really want the two of them to obtain the list of names they want? "
Natasha nearly fainted from Courtney's anger. "I have said it many times! The boss's safety is our number one priority! "
Courtney waved his hand angrily and said, "If not for the fact that the situation was too tense and I forgot to inform him, he would not have opened fire so easily! He has already done a good job! He only shot the computer at the most critical moment, all right? "
"Courtney! Have you forgotten the boss's words? Right now, I am the one who has the final say! My words are the boss's words. All of you have to listen to my orders! "Natasha finally brought out the 'imperial sword' that Baldwin had given her to suppress Courtney.
Courtney's emotions were somewhat out of control. Natasha did not want him to ruin the whole thing.
Due to those words, Courtney could only wave his hand and turn around without saying a word! He did not want to see Natasha anymore, nor did he want to hear any of her orders!
The sniper looked at Courtney in horror. If even Courtney was unable to protect him, wouldn't he be punished to death by Natasha?
"Everything I do is for the boss, for the company. Everything I do is for the greater good! Everything I do is for everyone … "The sniper kept explaining himself.
However, after hearing his explanation, Natasha showed no mercy. She attacked again. This time, she hit the sniper's throat. Before the sniper could finish his words, he fell to the ground and fainted.
[PS: In the past two days, quite a number of reading friends have contacted me, asking if I am really going to finish this book. Let's recuperate here. It is time to wrap up the book. Truth be told, before I started writing this book, I had a vague idea of the main character, goal, conflict, ending … all of that. The structure of the novel, the plot, the characters' personalities, relationships and many other aspects were not done well. I have to admit that. Only after looking through the book did I realize that there were flaws everywhere. I would like to express my gratitude to all of you who are reading this. Thank you for accompanying me in my growth!]
