There was a puddle of blood on the ground, making the scene horrifying. When the men saw that, they were terrified. None of them dared to approach Garret.
Dora didn't expect Gideon, who was usually gentle and considerate, to have such a side to him. She was a bit scared, especially when she saw the blood flowing out. As expected of Hera's brother—he was terrifying when he was angry.
Gideon suddenly remembered something and reminded, "Dora, don't look. Go and untie your schoolmate."
It was only then that Dora returned to her senses and ran over to Eli to untie him.
"Thank you," said Eli. He was staring at Gideon. He seemed to have received a shock, and his heart was pounding.
"Why are you just standing there? Hurry up and kill them!" Garret was in so much pain that the veins on his forehead popped out.
The men standing to the side finally returned to their senses and began to attack with the weapons in their hands.
Gideon let go of Garret and went over to Dora. He protected Dora and Eli behind him with a calm expression.
"Boss, we've been surrounded by the police! There are a lot of officers outside!" At this time, one of the men ran inside in a panic.
"How dare you report us to the police!" Garret got up with a fierce gaze. "All of you have a death wish! Don't think that I'll be scared of you because you reported me to the police. I have someone backing me up! Charge! Kill them all. I'll take care of the consequences!"
Then, he ran toward Garret with his injured leg.
Suddenly, there was the sound of a gunshot. "Don't move!"
Garret fell to the ground again. Another wound appeared on his bloody right leg. More blood flowed out of his leg. If his leg wasn't treated in time, he would lose it.
Did he go out with his classmates? While waiting for him, she prepared dinner. After she had prepared dinner, he hadn't returned. So, she felt a bit uneasy.
Was it because Amelia scolded Eli the day before, making him upset? He didn't have a phone and had never told her who his close friends were. She didn't even know where to start looking for him.
Amelia quickly informed her superior at the post office that she was going to take the day off. Then, she hurried over to the food street near the school. She found the barbecue restaurant Eli was working at according to Titus.
"Eli didn't come tonight. I heard that he offended Garret and was taken away by him," said the owner of the barbecue restaurant.
Amelia raised her voice. "What did you say?"
Instantly, she panicked even more. Jedburgh was huge. Where should she look for Eli? When she was at a loss, her phone rang. It was a call from an unknown number, but she remembered this number. It belonged to Gideon.
