Chapter 481

He was just inches away from Sophia as he wrapped his coat around her, and he noticed the revolting look in her eyes as she took a small step away from him quietly.

Charles raised his brow slightly and frowned as he gave her a searching look. “Are you cold?”

“No,” Sophia replied curtly.

It was indeed Sophia’s voice.

Charles pursed his lips and stared at her deeply. He cast a quick glance at the building again and decided not to waste any more time. “Hold on to me and let me know if you’re scared.”

Sophia’s face twisted and she looked as if she was about to say something. Before she could even bring the words out, he spoke first, “Get on first, let’s talk about it on the way, it’s not safe to stay here any longer.”

“... Alright,” Sophia answered after a short pause.

Charles got onto the motorcycle and Sophia followed after. However, instead of wrapping her arms around him, she grabbed the back of her seat.

“We don’t have any helmets, it’s safer if you hold onto me,” Charles said to Sophia without looking back as he started the bike.

Sophia bit her lip lightly and looked at Mr. Zellner’s subordinate who was casually staring at her, and she reluctantly leaned forward and wrapped her arms around Charles.

The motorcycle started moving and a cold breeze blew against them.

In order to leave here as quickly as possible, Charles drove at maximum speed, and so the piercing cold wind chilled them right to the bone as it rushed against their necks.

Soon after they set off, a few cars appeared behind them.

Right then, it was already dark, and although they could not see the car clearly, they could make out that they were black Volkswagens. Moreover, the cars had been trailing behind them for over ten minutes or so, which made them incredibly suspicious.

Charles’ eyes turned cold when he noticed the cars from the rearview mirror.

Just as he had expected, Mr. Zellner was not about to let him and Sophia off the hook after retrieving the accounting records!

“We’re being followed, hold on tight and don’t look back,” he muttered to Sophia as he swerved the bike in between a Land Rover and an Audi.

Then, before the two car owners even realized it, he had already darted off as he swerved between the other cars ahead of him.

Screeching sounds of the cars braking abruptly rang through the air, followed by screams of surprise. The initially steady traffic instantly fell into chaos.

“Stop!” Sophia shrieked as panic filled her eyes. “If they realize that we’re trying to flee, they might shoot and hurt innocent people!”

However, Charles did not slow down. “We’re in the city now, they won’t do anything stupid. We’ll be finished if we stop right now!”

Mr. Zellner’s subordinates were stuck behind the cars and no matter how much they honked, it was no use. They scrambled out of their cars and began running toward Charles and Sophia, some ran on the road whereas some vaulted over car hoods.

Sophia and Charles were stuck in the jam as well so they were not any better. After riding for barely a hundred meters, they were stuck as well.

Unaware of what was going on, the drivers got out of their cars and exchanged confused looks——

“What’s going on?”

“That man is so handsome! Are they filming?”

“Hello, 911? There’s someone riding a motorcycle recklessly on Hillside Avenue and we’re stuck in a heavy jam!”

Just as things were as chaotic as it could get, all of a sudden——

Bang!

A muffled gunshot rang through the air.

Everyone quieted down for a long moment before someone finally asked, “What was that sound...”

Bang bang bang!

Several gunshots soon followed and this time, everyone heard it clearly. Screams filled the air as everyone covered their hands and ran to seek cover under their cars.

“Help! Help!”

“Oh my goodness!!!!!”

“It’s a gun! Someone fired a gun! So many gunshots!”

It was utter chaos.

Charles held Sophia’s hand as he wove through the crowd while she kept struggling out of his grasp. When he turned to look at her, he saw one of Mr. Zellner’s men with a gun pointed at them.

“Careful!” All the blood drained from Charles’ face, and before he could even comprehend the situation, his body reacted first and he pulled Sophia into his arms and closed his eyes as he turned around swiftly.

Bang!

Charles heard a man’s voice coming from below him at the same time the gunshot sounded——

“F*ck, be careful, Mr. Harris! D*mn it, that f*cking hurts!”

The gunshot missed Charles, but before he could react, he was kicked down to the ground and a loud thump sounded as his head hit the ground.

He forced down the pulsating pain from his head, and just as he raised his head to look up, two big buns fell out of Sophia’s chest and dropped to the ground.

“What the f*ck...” Charles instantly froze and cursed out for the first time in his entire life. No wonder something about Sophia just did not feel right.

As soon as he finished speaking, two of Mr. Zellner’s subordinates rushed over.

Each of them had a gun aimed at Charles and “Sophia’.

Bang bang!

At the same time as the two gunshots sounded, Charles somersaulted and dodged it easily and gave “Sophia’ a kick.

“Sophia’ immediately stumbled to the ground and some of what seemed to be prosthetic scars fell out from his face.

He spat on the floor and shouted, “Why the f*ck did you kick me?”

“Was worried you wouldn’t be able to dodge it in time.” Although Charles said he was worried, there was no trace of wariness in his eyes as he hid himself behind a car while he spoke.

“Sophia’ followed suit and grumbled, “I’m capable of protecting myself!”

“Sure.” Charles was not in the mood to entertain him as there were much more important things on hand. He kept his eyes glued on Mr. Zellner’s men in front of him.

Right after the words came out, Charles kicked him away once again and took a step back.

“D*mn it, are you addicted to kicking me now? Don’t think that just because you’re Colonel Harris’ nephew that I’ll...”

Before he could finish his sentence, several gunshots rang in the air as bullets shot through where they were just standing seconds ago.

“What the f*ck?!” “Sophia’ rubbed his nose awkwardly. “Mr. Zellner’s men have good ears eh!”

“Idiot,” Charles spat out coldly as he snatched away “Sophia’’s gun. Then, he did a quick roll and fired two shots at Mr. Zellner’s men.

One was hit in the knee and the other one was hit in the chest, killing him instantly.

“Stop it!” “Sophia’ was close to tears. “You’re using my gun, can you not simply fire shots?! They didn’t mention anything about killing anyone, you’ll get me into trouble if you don’t follow orders!!!”

Why else would he run?

Otherwise, he would have killed those people long ago!

“Sophia’ hesitated for a moment before a determined look flashed across his eyes. “F*ck it! Keep the gun, I still have another one! I heard good things about you from your uncle, let’s find out if they’re true!”

Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around!
