The moment the shots were fired, Gorbor pushed Eckart and Lyn Amie to the ground and kicked the wooden dining table over.
Although the dining table was useless in the face of direct fire, it played a crucial role in defending against stray bullets that penetrated the walls, windows, sofas, and other physical objects. As long as one wasn't unlucky enough to be hit directly in the vitals, one would only suffer minor injuries at most.
Gorbor's men, on the other hand, were well-trained. They avoided the shooting path and fired back at the car parked in front of the coffee shop's window without further orders.
Bang Bang Bang!
Gunfire flashed.
It wasn't just Gorbor's men, even Lin An and Riton Lystie's bodyguards joined in the counterattack.
Almost instantaneously, the firepower suppressed the car.
The police officers in the museum not far away heard the gunshots and moved out as well.
The men realized they couldn't win, so they quickly drove away.
"Chase them!
Chase them down!
I'll put these bastards in jail for life! "
Lin An, who had a stomach full of rage because he lost the Curseman Vase, exploded.
No one would be in a good mood after being fired at by a machine gun.
More so, whether it was 2567 or Riton Lystie, if something happened to them, it would plunge Lin An into a terrifying situation.
Riton Lystie was one of the most popular figures in recent days.
Riton Lystie was the heir of a big family that had a close relationship with some important figures in the Neo Union.
If one of them was killed or injured, Riton Lystie wouldn't just have to take off his uniform, he would also have to go to court.
Therefore, Lin An drove the car and chased after the car that escaped.
After the gunshots stopped, Riton Lystie tried to stand up, but Kieran pressed him down on the ground.
"Be careful of a sniper."
Kieran said softly.
The heir of the Lystie family looked worried.
Although it was just a possibility, he knew Kieran wasn't just trying to scare him.
Riton Lystie immediately signaled to his bodyguard.
Gorbor also moved out himself.
Five minutes later, Gorbor sent a message to Kieran to confirm that the car was safe.
"Thank you.
"2567, I will remember your kindness."
"And you will also be my most important friend. I swear in the name of Lystie."
When he stood up again, Riton Lystie swept away his previous politeness and gentleness and spoke in an unprecedented serious tone.
"Mr. Lystie, I'm trying to save myself."
"Just now, I was also within range of being shot."
Kieran smiled and waved his hand.
In the previous attack, he had saved Riton Lystie not only to protect his reputation, but also because it was convenient for him to do so.
If it was beyond his ability, even if he had to bear the reputation of 'customers will suffer misfortune', Kieran would still choose to protect himself.
"But you gave me a hand at the last moment."
"So, it is a fact that you saved me."
"And, 2567, just call me Riton."
Riton Lystie shook his head.
It was a fact that he had been rescued.
If he ignored such a fact, what would others think of him?
The Lestian Family would never allow an ungrateful person to become the patriarch.
At the very least …
He couldn't be known to the public.
"Fine, Riton.
"However, I suggest that you find more reliable bodyguards."
It seems like their target isn't just the Curseman Vase. "
Kieran suggested.
"They just realized that even if I lost the Curseman Vase, it wouldn't affect my identity as the first in line to the throne that much."
Riton Lystie coldly grunted, his face looking gloomy.
Kieran didn't say anything when he saw Riton Lystie's sour face.
He didn't want to get involved in the internal strife of a big family, nor was he interested.
Turning around, Kieran walked towards Eckart and Lyn Amie, who were still in shock.
"How are you?"
Kieran asked Eckart and Lyn Amie.
"S-Not bad."
Eckart squeezed a smile at Kieran that was uglier than crying; Lyn Amie, on the other hand, was pale, nodding at Kieran.
After a long time, Eckart finally returned to normal.
"What should we do next?"
Eckart asked.
"You go get the payment from Riton Lystie."
"And me?"
"Let's go out for a walk."
Kieran said in a casual manner.
"Go out for a walk?"
Eckart looked at Kieran in confusion.
But before Eckart could say anything, Kieran waved at Gorbor and walked out.
Eckart heaved a breath of relief when he saw Gorbor follow.
With Gorbor around, Kieran would be fine if he just went out for a walk.
Eckart then turned around to Riton Lystie, but when he walked past Lyn Amie, he saw Lyn Amie was still in a daze, so Eckart couldn't help but stop.
After interacting with the makeup artist for the past few days, coupled with the experience they just had, Eckart had long since treated the kind-hearted makeup artist as one of his own.
When he saw Lyn Amie's dazed look, he couldn't help but tap his shoulder.
"Don't worry, it's all in the past.
It's just an accident. "
Eckart comforted Lyn Amie.
"Em.
But, but … "
Lyn Amie nodded and stuttered his words.
"But what?"
Eckart asked in confusion.
Lyn Amie didn't know how to describe the scene, so he eventually pointed at the window where the bullets were fired at.
"What happened there?"
Eckart looked at the window for a while but didn't notice anything wrong.
"P-Pastries.
The pastries 2567 wanted were all smashed! "
Lyn Amie said what he wanted to say.
Eckart was stunned.
His eyes then caught sight of the shapeless pastries that were scattered all over the place.
Most of the pastries would shatter into pieces the moment they fell on the ground, let alone the bullets. If it wasn't for Lyn Amie's reminder, he would have forgotten about the pastries.
"It's just some pastries.
I'll tell my men to prepare some for 2567 later.
Besides, 2567 might be a glutton, but he wouldn't go after a bunch of armed thugs for some pastries.
I'm very sure of that. "
Eckart said with certainty, his face full of confidence.
Just like how fear was spread, so was confidence. Lyn Amie nodded when he saw how confident Eckart was.
"Hmm, I guess you're right.
Although 2567 might get angry because someone interrupted his meal or wasted food, he shouldn't go after a bunch of armed thugs for some common pastries. "
"That's right.
"You're thinking too much."
"How could such a thing happen?"
Eckart laughed.
Then, he walked towards Riton Lystie.
He didn't believe anyone would go after a bunch of armed thugs for some pastries.
But …
Not believing didn't mean it didn't exist.
