There were only less than five yards between them, and if the bullet was fired, it would take less than a second before it penetrated Kendrick’s heart.
However, Kendrick was not scared nor was he panicking. On the other hand, he laughed. “The Waldburgs’ assets won’t be tarnished by someone like you as long as I’m alive. Also, I will never allow Eveline to go back to you.”
Felipe laughed arrogantly. It was evident that he was confident to defeat Kendrick.
This was his territory. No one would be able to escape from this place where he reigned supreme.
Not even Kendrick.
“Kendrick, do you think you have the power to go against me in this situation?”
Kendrick said calmly, “Even so, let’s try.”
Felipe was dissatisfied with Kendrick’s confidence and calmness.
Previously, Kendrick had already dodged his bullet. He refused to believe that Kendrick would be able to dodge another one!
Felipe had asked his thugs not to get involved in this beef between him and Kendrick. In the next second, he pulled the trigger again without any hesitation.
However, in less than a nanosecond, Kendrick did another impossible thing. He once again dodged the bullet that was flying at him.
The bodyguards around them were all stunned when they saw this.
Felipe’s aim was exceptional. He had never missed whenever he shot. However, Kendrick somehow managed to dodge his bullet.
This man was really something else.
Felipe’s eyes darkened. It was obvious that he was unhappy. He held the trigger once again and was about to pull down.
In a flash, Kendrick lifted his stern gaze and took action. “It’s my turn now.”
He was extremely fast. The bodyguard next to Felipe did not even have time to react before Kendrick snatched away the pistol on his waist.
Felipe’s eyes went cold. When he felt the murderous aura coming off Kendrick, he lifted the pistol in his hand as well.
Kendrick and Felipe were both pointing their pistols at each other’s head and heart respectively.
The two men were tall and lean. When their equally beautiful eyes met, sparks started to form in the space between them. However, the loftiness in their eyes was completely different.
Felipe’s bodyguards finally took out their pistols when they saw this. Then, they were all pointing their pistols at Kendrick.
Now, more than ten were aimed at Kendrick.
“Kendrick, do you still think you have the chance to get out of here alive?” Felipe’s victorious smile spread across his face gradually.
Kendrick was still calm. “Why don’t we have a little competition? We’ll see who’s faster.”
After he said that, Felipe’s expression changed.
Felipe would not joke about his life, and neither would he take this risk—not when he was going against Kendrick.
While the man was hesitating, Kendrick shot the pistol away from Felipe’s hand.
When the pistol fell, he grabbed it one step ahead of Felipe and pointed it at Felipe’s heart.
The situation changed so quickly that the smirk on Felipe’s face was already gone.
“Tell them to go out,” ordered Kendrick.
Felipe barked his order coldly. “Get out.”
“Mr. Waldburg, we—”
“F*ck off!” Kendrick chased them away impatiently.
The bodyguards did not dare to go against his order, so they went out to keep an eye on them.
They figured if Kendrick dared to do something rash, they would fire at the same time. They did not believe that Kendrick would be able to dodge so many bullets at one go.
Now, Kendrick and Felipe were the only ones in the warehouse.
“Are you surprised, Uncle? You didn’t expect me to get the upper hand, huh?”
“Hmph.” Felipe scoffed in disdain. “You won’t get away with this if you dare to touch me.”
“Since I’m already here, I have no plans to get out.” Kendrick was calm, but his gaze was getting colder and colder. There was a biting coldness enveloping his entire body. “Felipe, you’re right. We have to put an end to this.”
“In the past year, you almost caused Grandpa to go into a vegetative state and you also used Eveline’s hatred toward me to devour the entire Waldburg Corporation. I still remember all of these.
“When I was still Eveline’s husband, you were already trying to get close to her so you could make her trust and depend on you. I want to thank you for bringing her back to life, but that’s not a reason for you to keep using and possessing her.”
Kendrick’s grip on the trigger tightened slightly while his eyes were filled with an overwhelming dominance.
“Felipe, if one of us has to die today, I don’t think it’ll be me. I won’t let Eveline spend the rest of her life alone. She’s still my wife. Her body and her heart can only belong to me.”
What Kendrick meant was clear when he said that, and a flash of panic appeared in Felipe’s eyes.
Kendrick was going to shoot him now.
However, at this moment, the sound of familiar footsteps traveled into Kendrick’s ears from afar.
“Stop it!”
Niamh’s voice reverberated across the warehouse.
Kendrick’s finger loosened, and in the next second, Niamh ran in front of him. She was using her body to shield Felipe.
“Kendrick, if you want to kill someone, then kill me.”
Kendrick’s heart fell into an abyss after seeing Niamh’s firm decision in protecting Felipe.
His heart was aching. “Eveline, what are you talking about? You’re even willing to die for someone like him?”
Niamh looked into Kendrick’s angry eyes neither obsequiously nor superciliously. Then, she spotted a row of guns aiming at him from the corner of her eyes.
Her heart was beating loudly, but she still said without changing her expression, “I can’t let the child in my stomach be born without a father. So, Kendrick, if you want to shoot, then shoot me.”
Niamh’s unyielding gaze was like an icy tide flooding over his heart. The endless coldness overwhelmed him from his head to his toes.
She was willing to risk her life for Felipe.
He frowned and stared straight at Niamh. “Do you really love him that much?”
Niamh looked into Kendrick’s hurtful eyes and said firmly, “Yes, I love him a lot. I love the father of the child I’m carrying now.”
When Kendrick got this answer, an unstoppable rage appeared in the bottom of his eyes.
He pulled the trigger all of a sudden.
The bullet was fired out with a loud bang and hit the window on one side.
When the glass shattered, Kendrick’s heart also shattered along with it.
Niamh looked at Kendrick who had suddenly fired, and her heart was beating erratically.
The man’s ominous eyes were filled with a murderous aura and his entire body was giving out a terrifying chill. It was as if he would devour everything in the next second.
However, he suppressed all of his dissatisfaction and anger before he looked deeply at Niamh. Then, he turned around and walked away without turning back.
Niamh finally allowed her tears to roll down her cheeks as she looked at the figure that was walking further and further away.
The air around them plunged into silence, but Niamh could not calm down her heartbeat.
Felipe was happy with how this was going, especially when he saw Niamh defending him so much. This made him exceptionally happy.
“Eveline, I didn’t expect you to do this for me.” Felipe beamed.
He reached out his hands to hold Niamh, but she moved away from him.
“Felipe, you saved me back then, so I’m returning this favor to you.”
Felipe finally understood. The only reason Niamh did that was to give him back the life she owed her back then.
He could not deny that Kendrick was really going to shoot him judging from his murderous gaze just now.
If Niamh had not shown up in time to stop this, he would have been shot.
Was he still too careless?
It turned out that Kendrick was not someone he could get rid of so easily.
