Chapter 759 - Seven Hundred And Fifty-Nine: The Men With The Weapons

The third point of view :

For a moment, nothing reigned but silence as the situation dawned on them.

"Did Pedro cheat on Isabella?" Ailee was the first to ask, shocked to the marrow. If there was a man that Ailee could bet would never cheat on Isabella, that was Pedro. The both of them were so sweet with each other and let\'s face reality, who in their right mind would cheat on Isabella unless they wanted death.

"And like I said, love\'s nothing but hormones that fades with time," Allen was much happier that his theory was proven.

He turned and at the corner of his eyes saw Isabella stealthily leaving the arena. He alerted the others, "I don\'t think our sister is quite happy about it. She looks like she\'s about to go murder somebody,"

That comment made everybody turn and they happened to catch a glimpse of Isabella before she finally disappeared.

"Isabella is vengeful so she must be going after the woman then," Neon figured out.

"How can you say that?" Eve didn\'t believe him.

"Because Pedro\'s still there," He pointed to the man who still stood frozen in shock, "And I know Isabella better than you know her," Neon said.

"Moreover, people can go to any length to do anything for the people they love," Neon said, his gaze falling on Ailee who looked away and Theodore noticed the whole interaction with a frown on his face.

"We have to go after her before she does something stupid," Ailee declared.

"I\'m in," Allen said to Ailee\'s surprise. Was he suddenly becoming responsible? But that admiration lasted until Allen added, "The fight would be interesting,"

"Let\'s go then, what are we waiting for?" Theodore said earning looks from Ailee and Neon.

"You\'re going?" Ailee was surprised.

"Yes. Why?" he raised an eyebrow at her.

"This is our family business," Neon explained.

"Are you family then?" Theodore wanted to retort but he could already see the fight he would rouse with that comment and said instead, "Who knows, you might need much help than you thought you needed?"

Theodore had his suspicion about Ailee and Neon ever since he found out they weren\'t related by blood. Now, he confirmed his fears, he was salty. He wished he and Neon could fight it one on one for her affection. But this was not the time nor place.

"I\'m in," Eve volunteered.

"Fine, everybody\'s in. Let\'s go before the others discover what we\'re up to. A bunch of idiotic teenagers hoping to be superheroes," Ailee said but Neon reminded her.

"What about the kids? What if they ruin the dinner?"

Ailee sighed, "This event is ruined already, what more havoc can they cause?"

"You\'d be surprised," Neon hinted that they should not be underestimated.

"Well, I\'m sure they are safe in Dash\'s hands, let\'s go," She grabbed his arm intending to pull him away when she remembered the problem they were facing and pulled free.

"Come on," She said instead and took her leave first. The tension between the both of them was noticeable and Neon\'s gaze collided with Theodore\'s having sensed his glare on him.

There was a bit of conflict on which car they would leave with, however, they ended up with the usual SUV they drove to school with.

Surprisingly, Theodore offered to drive and they left him after another brief argument. Allen ended up sitting in the front with him while Eve sat in between Ailee and Neon. It was better anyway for Ailee since she was free to look at the window, instead of at Neon with her conflicting emotions.

Thanks to the time they spent arguing, they lost Isabella and couldn\'t track her down. They had almost contemplated going back when Allen told them to stay put. According to him, if Isabella was going to kill that woman, then Pedro must know about that as well - he knows Isabella best - and would surely go after her.

So they pulled up at the side of the road anyone leaving Kay\'s manor would pass through and wait. At first, it seemed like nothing would happen until Pedro\'s headlight came into view and he drove part them.

Theodore started the car and drove after him immediately. It wasn\'t hard to follow Pedro since the man was in a hurry and didn\'t give much thought to his environment.

By the time they arrived at their destination, Pedro had already gotten out of the car and must be inside the house to stop Isabella - that is if she hasn\'t killed her already. They parked outside the apartment and waited.

"So what now?" Eve asked when there was no more activity in the car.

"We assess the situation first," Neon suggested.

"After the victim is dead?" Allen mocked him, "I say we go in now,"

And so while Allen and Neon were arguing, as usual, Ailee lowered the window and looked out, that was when she saw it.

"Guys, look out!"

At that announcement, everyone rushed to that side of the window and a gasp rose from them.

Standing on top of the ledge was the woman they supposed Pedro cheated with and then, there was Isabella kind of threatening her to jump - they could surmise from the situation. But then, Pedro came in immediately.

"I was right, this is interesting," Allen found it entertaining and received a glare from his sister.

"What?" He was annoyed by her look.

"A human life\'s on the line here,"

"Well, Pedro\'s here so our lovely sister won\'t kill anymore," He was so sure of himself.

"How are you sure? We should be calling the authorities right now," Neon said.

"And then, if Isabella does push her off the roof, the authorities apprehend her because you told on her. You\'re no different from your mother," Allen provoked Neon in the twinkle of an eye.

"Don\'t compare me to that - !" Neon acted upon his provocation and lunged at Allen but Ailee and Eve held him immediately back.

"Oh, she\'s down," Theodore called out and everyone\'s attention shifted to the window once again. They breathed a sigh of relief and went back to dealing with their issues.

At first, nobody talked to one another until Eve decided to be the first to break the silence.

"Alright, it\'s obvious that everyone here has a problem with - ahh!" Eve was still speaking when a bullet rented the quiet air and they watched as a human body dropped from the sky as if it was nothing but a human pot.

"Ahh!" Eve still screamed even after Natasha plummeted to her death, nor did it stop as more bullets tore through the air.

By the time the pandemonium finally stopped, everyone was shaken - including Allen. What the hell just happened?

"Oh my God, Isabella!" Ailee realized those shots had been aimed at the roof where Isabella and Pedro previously stood. She had to get to them.

However, before any of the kids could make a move, four armed men surrounded their car and all they could do was to raise their hands.

"Get down!" They ordered with their weapons pointed at them and poised to strike if they made a wrong move.

Allen and Ailee\'s gaze connected through the mirror and the fear was there, those men with the weapons were not familiar to them at all.
