Capítulo 76: [76] Got em
Just as Cassidy made her bold move, I noticed the sudden shift in the atmosphere. Seizing the moment, I snatched the nearby candlestick, the wax coating providing a solid grip. There was no room for hesitation or doubt, just the imminent urgency to strike. Without wasting another heartbeat, I swung it sideways, its heavy base connecting solidly with the man's jaw beside me.
The blow took him by surprise, his eyes bulging out of their sockets as he staggered backward. The impact sent him crashing into a side table, the sound of shattering glass mingling with his grunt of pain.
As this was happening, Yan-Hua, ever the quiet one, displayed a surprising burst of aggression. Quick as a fox, she drove her knee upwards, connecting solidly with one of the man's vulnerable areas. His eyes bulged, his face contorted in pain as he doubled over, clutching his groin.
With the man's attention momentarily diverted, Hazuki made her move. She bit down on the hand that was crawling on her. Her sharp teeth sunk into the man's flesh, making him yelp in pain. He tried to yank his hand away but Hazuki's grip was ironclad. With a swift jerk, she freed herself, leaving the man wincing and nursing his bloody hand.
Meanwhile, Kaya, being the most athletic among us, decided to employ her physical prowess. She planted her feet firmly on the ground and used her strong legs to deliver a swift, powerful kick to the chest of the guy trying to corner her. The surprise attack sent him flying over the back of the sofa, landing with a thud that shook the entire room.
As the four of us scrambled to the gun hanger, I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. There was a rush of adrenaline, like a jolt of electricity, coursing through my veins. The scene was chaotic - shouts echoed through the cabin, drowned out by the sound of crashing furniture and scuffling bodies. I could see out of the corner of my eye Cassidy, still holding her knife against the man's throat, a fierce and determined look on her face.
Reaching the hanger, Yan-Hua grabbed two pistols, handing one to me and another to Kaya. Hazuki took another for herself. The cold metal felt heavy in my hand, the grip fitting snugly in my palm. As the chaos subsided, I turned around, raising the gun and pointing it towards the group of men. The room fell eerily quiet, the tension so thick it could be cut with a knife.
"Where are the car keys?" I demanded, my voice echoing in the silence.
One of the men, the tallest, had a look of surprise on his face, clearly not expecting this turn of events. He hesitated for a moment, his eyes darting to the others before finally meeting mine. His hand slowly moved to his pocket, pulling out a set of keys and throwing them onto the floor between us.
"Take them, just don't hurt us," he said, his voice barely a whisper.
I could feel the gaze of the girls on me, waiting for my next move. I took a deep breath, trying to steady my racing heart. We had managed to turn the situation around, but we still needed to get out of here, and quickly. I nodded to Hazuki, who rushed forward to pick up the keys, her eyes never leaving the men. This was far from over, but for now, we had the upper hand.
