Chapter 3197 They Were Caught In A Crossfire!
“Gordan, when are you going to start shooting? I feel frustrated being trapped in the car!” said Gale. The gunfire was intense, and he could feel bullets whizzing past the car.
It was the sound of gunfire. Gale could tell the mercenaries had the upper hand.
He was not scared, just frustrated. He felt he should be out there making a difference instead of being sidelined by Gordan.
He could don a mask and help the police take down the mercenaries.
“Haha, are you scared already?” Gordan’s teasing voice came through the earpiece. Before Gale could respond, he added, “I’m coming to rescue you.”
Then, Gale heard a gunshot from the mercenaries’ side.
This time, it was not their weapons firing but Gordan’s.
Gale rolled his eyes. Did he really need Gordan to save him? If not for the plan to ram the car into the mercenaries to create an opportunity for the police to escape, he would not be hiding here now.
Gordan’s aim was impeccable. He took down two mercenaries as soon as he got out of the car.
When the mercenaries saw their comrades fall, they realized they were being caught in a crossfire.
They tried to fend off attacks from both sides while figuring out a solution. Suddenly, someone noticed there was a person inside the car that had crashed into them.
“Take him hostage!” shouted one of the mercenaries as he moved toward the car to open the door.
However, Gale had locked the car doors after the crash. As he watched the mercenaries approach the car, he said to Gordan, “Hurry up. They’re trying to take me hostage!”
After Gordan took down another mercenary with his precise shooting, he replied, “Didn’t you want to join the fight? Now’s your chance.”
Then, he fired another shot.
The mercenaries were well-trained and experienced. One of them managed to dodge Gordan’s bullet.
The mercenary unleashed a barrage of shots toward Gordan. “Damn you! How dare you attack me?! Watch me turn you into Swiss cheese!”
Gordan was not foolish either. He quickly found cover to avoid getting shot. Realizing the enemy’s firepower was intense, he reminded, “The enemy’s packing serious heat. Gale, be careful.”
“Ha, no one can hurt me,” replied Gale as he pulled an iron rod out from under the passenger seat.
He felt a bit helpless as he looked at the rod.
As a representative working with the police, he was not allowed to carry firearms. This rod was his only weapon.novelbin
He looked at the mercenary who was trying to force open the car door and gripped the rod tightly. If they got in and took him hostage, he would hit him with the rod! Then, he would grab their gun and use it for defense. It should not be a problem since the gun was not originally his.
While Gordan listened to Gale’s words, he shot at another mercenary, aiming for the head. These men were too dangerous to leave alive. Otherwise, they would be a threat.
However, the mercenary moved just in time, and the bullet which was aimed at his head hit his shoulder instead.
With a sharp bang, the mercenary’s shoulder took a hit, but it did not diminish his fighting spirit. He soldiered on, undeterred by the injury.
“Rain, get ready,” said Gordan.
“Roger that,” replied Rain, positioned on a high building beside the road. She was the sniper for this mission. When she heard Gordan’s instruction, she added, “Five mercenaries are now in sight. Preparing to engage.”
She fired a shot, taking down one of the mercenaries.
The mercenaries were professionals. One of them quickly realized what was happening and immediately informed his comrades “Sniper! Take cover!”
‘Take cover!” shouted one of the mercenaries. However, before he could take cover, Rain took him out.
Out of the eight mercenaries, only five were left, and one of them was injured.
Gordan whistled softly. Despite the enemy’s strong firepower, with only four fierce fighters left and one injured, it seemed there was not much to worry about now.
The moment Gordan whistled, the mercenary who was trying to open Gale’s car door succeeded.
Gale found the opportunity and swung his iron rod just as the mercenary reached inside to grab him. “Take that!”
The mercenary screamed in pain. Gale broke his hand!
The mercenaries thought the person in the car was just a frightened passerby who heard their gunfire and accidentally crashed into them. Little did they expect it was planned all along!
“He’s one of them! Take him hostage! It’s our only way out!” shouted one of the mercenaries. Two guns were immediately aimed at Gale inside the car. The car door that was opened was used by the mercenary as a shield against Gordan’s fire.
Gale was rendered speechless and said, “I’ve got two guns pointed at me.”
“Don’t engage them. Let me handle this.” Gordan’s tone became serious. He was also using a car for cover while keeping an eye on Gale’s situation.
Two mercenaries were crouching with their guns trained on Gale.
Gordan could not get a clear shot. At the same time, he heard one of the mercenaries threatening in broken English, “We have your friend. Shoot, and he dies!”
Gordan asked Rain, “Rain, do you have a clear shot?”
“I do, but I can’t take both of them out at once.” Rain frowned. She did not expect Gale to end up in such a situation.
If she shot one, the other would likely kill Gale.
If they were in a larger space, it would be alright, but how could Gale hide inside the car? Rain was not confident either. “Damn it!” Gordan cursed. The police also dared not to make a move, aware of who was in the car.
They were there to assist. If it were
not for Luke’s reminder, there would not have been so many officers for so ve the escort today. Still, they were
unsure of what to do now because the enemy had a hostage, and they could not afford to act recklessly.
Gale looked at the two guns aimed at his head. He remained calm and said to the mercenaries, “You want to escape? Take me
as hostage.”
The mercenaries stayed silent.
Gale continued, “You guys can’t save anyone in this situation now. You can let me go and we do a one-for-one swap with them, but that could get all of you killed. Their firepower is stronger than yours right now. The

“Or, you take me as hostage and make a run for it. You might not finish the job, but at least you’ll stay alive.”
Of course, the mercenaries considered this.
If there were no one behind them, they could swap Matysh out and escape.
However, they were surrounded now, and there was a sniper hidden somewhere.
“We’re really screwed. We should’ve
never taken this job,” muttered a mercenary. He reached out and m grabbed Gale by the collar. “Come out and don’t try anything funny. If we can get away clean, you’ll be okay. Otherwise, you’re looking at certain death!”
Then, he pulled Gale out of the car.
Gale yielded to the force and scrambled out of the car.
