Chapter 25 Bring A Knife To A Gunfight? No. Bring Two Guns!



In the face of all those guns, and Fred the giant\'s menacing gaze, Xavier remained utterly nonchalant.

As for Eulene, her eyes glittered as only one word escaped her lips, "Woah!"

She had only read of these scenes in books before, and the fact that she was now standing where the main characters of all those stories stood made her heart race. So khool!

Qi circulated in her body as she readied herself to kick all those bad guys\' asses.

[Calm down] Xavier transmitted. [You can\'t use your powers before \'civilians\']

She decided to use one of the khool lines she read somewhere. [Dead men tell no tales]

[Idiot! Aren\'t you aware of the third party here]

Eulene frowned. That gaze that fixed on her since departing from home was still there- watching.

[Run to the nearest cover once I give the signal] Xavier ordered.

They needed only a split second to make the whole conversation.

"Aren\'t you jumping the gun here?" Xavier asked, his eyes fighting off against the giant\'s menacing gaze equally. "I just asked a question."

"I ask the questions here," Fred replied.

"Oh," Xavier uttered, as if he had hit upon a realisation. "So, let\'s have a proper conversation, shall we?"

Fred nodded, prompting Xavier to smirk and Eulene to let out a giggle.

Fred frowned in confusion, but Eulene\'s next words cleared it, and filled his mind with rage.

"It was a tag question," Eulene gave Xavier her \'phun mode\' look, "wasn\'t it?"

Xavier didn\'t remove his gaze from Fred\'s eyes. "Now that we confirmed that you aren\'t the only one questioning, I ask again- where were you on the night of the impact."

Fred\'s eyes twitched. His face reddened from the wrath. "Kill him!"

No sooner had Fred ordered to attack than Xavier snapped his fingers. A large boom sounded not far away from the warehouse, shaking everything.

All the gangsters lost their senses and balance for a second, and that one second was more than enough for Xavier and Eulene to dash behind their closest pile of sacks and take cover. Both of them crouched behind a one meter tall bastion.

Xavier brought out a revolver from underneath his coat. The handgun was lined with silver making it stand out from all the guns out there.

"Not fair!" Eulene complained. "Give me one too!"

Contrary to her expectations, Xavier brought out another silver lined firearm from his coat and passed it to Eulene, along with a small bag of bullets.

"Whatever you do," Xavier said, "make sure the bullet doesn\'t hit the head, or the heart. Best if you aim at their-"

Bang! Bang!

Fires were shot at their cover, interrupting Xavier. The gangsters have regained clarity of the situation.

"They are shooting at us," Eulene said, excitement evident in her voice. "Won\'t it be self-defence if we kill them?"

"Self defence?" Xavier snorted. "How many shots do you think they need to kill you?"

"Mhmm…" Eulene cocked the loaded revolver with her thumb as she learned it from a book and brought forth the palm of her free hand. She aimed at her own palm and pulled the trigger.

Bang! The cylindrical bullet shrieked like a smashed can as it futilely tried to pierce through her skin. The folded bullet was now unmoving on top of her hand, releasing a bit of smoke.

She turned to Xavier and showed him a wry smile. "Infinity…?"

"I am surprised you even know that word." Xavier got up from his cover and shot at the closest gang-man, who was a dozen feet away.

A scream echoed throughout the warehouse as the target clenched his his right shoulder with his left hand, blood seeping out through its fingers. His gun had already dropped to the ground.

"They have a gun!" Rest of the gang, including Fred panicked and ran toward covers.

Xavier took this chance to shot another member on the feet, making him slump head first on the gun. He couldn\'t even scream before getting unconscious from the twin traumas of the bullet and the floor.

"Shoot the injured one on the leg," Xavier ordered Eulene.

A big smile crept on Eulene\'s face as she handled the revolver with both of her hands. She stood up from the cover, closed one of her eyes and took her sweet time aligning the rear sight, front sight and the shoulder-wounded criminal\'s leg. She even had her tongue out to the side.

Once she was sure, she pulled the trigger. A bullet banged out and pierced into the target\'s thigh.

The man screamed and fell to the ground, losing consciousness soon after.

"Wooooohoooooo!" Eulene exclaimed with utmost joy. She had shot a man!

But her celebration was cut short when a bullet grazed her ear. She instinctively crouched behind the cover. She sighed in relief. Her excitement almost made her forgot that she was an immortal.

That bullet was just the beginning. Following that dozens of shot were fired at the cover they hid behind suppressing them.

"One of us have to move away from here," Xavier said.

"I\'ll do it!" Eulene did not even take a second to answer. The smile on her face was as big as ever. With Xavier\'s sensitive ears, he could hear her heart racing.

Xavier heaved out a defeated sigh. "Just don\'t over do it."

But his words fell on deaf ears. Eulene took a crouch starting position and shot off aiming at a neighbouring pile of sacks- and ran as fast as \'humanly possible\'.

Fires were shot at her, but all of them missed. But when she was close to her destination, she sensed a bullet slowly approaching her. She lowered herself and slid across the floor foot-ahead, successfully fetching her destination. The poor bullet inevitably missed.

Xavier could only shake his head at the sight. However, due to Eulene\'s departure, the suppressing fire on his cover reduced by half. Giving him the opportunity to take another shot.

A gangster who was busy reloading his gun without caring to take cover lost his weapon as a bullet pierced through his hand. Not soon after, another shot wounded his shoulder. He yelled in pain. Blood gushed out from both of his openings as he slumped down to the ground.

Xavier hid behind the cover again when a handful of shots came at him.

Suddenly, the duo sensed something and shared a glance.

Enemy reinforcements had arrived.

The simple gunfight had just become a two-front battle.
