Garcia nodded, his eyes not moving away from Roberta for even a moment, and in his eyes, besides excitement, there was also some disbelief...
At the bar counter, the maid lady coldly looked at the gang members in front of her. She hadn't provoked them; on the contrary, it was they who had actively provoked her.
And that early bird who stepped forward had already become a cold corpse.
"B-bastard."
"She actually dared to shoot."
"Guys, there's nothing to hesitate about, kill her."
After a brief silence, these gang members roared and drew their guns, pointing them at the maid lady.
"No matter what method you use, as long as you can do it." The maid lady replied to the gang members' roar with an expressionless face, her cold words carrying a hint of mockery.
"Cut the crap, die."
The thoroughly enraged gang members could no longer hold back. Following an order from their leading boss, they all crazily pulled the trigger toward the maid lady.
Countless bullets flew toward Maid Roberta, but as a once battle-hardened soldier, she was not flustered and began to use agile movements to dodge the fierce firepower.
She ran a few steps along the bar, then gracefully turned her body and leapt, landing while opening that umbrella-gun, and at the same time raised the suitcase in front of her.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bullets pierced through the umbrella-gun but did not harm Roberta in the slightest; they were all blocked by the specially made bulletproof suitcase she brought.
However, the gang members didn't know that. Seeing the maid lady behind the umbrella motionless, they pulled the trigger even faster.
When the last gang member emptied the bullets in his gun and stopped, the maid lady's umbrella-gun was already riddled with holes.
"D-did she... die?" One gang member called out.
"Should be, definitely turned into a sieve." Another gang member confidently said.
"Sorry to disappoint you."
The maid lady's cold voice rang out. She moved the umbrella-gun aside, the eyes beneath her round glasses narrowing slightly.
Then, she stood up and raised the umbrella-gun, without hesitation opening fire at the stunned gang members.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Each gunshot brought down one gang member.
The remaining gang members finally reacted and began to scatter while shooting at Roberta. However, the bullets were all blocked by the special suitcase she held in front of her chest.
And the bullets that weren't blocked hit the bar's liquor shelves behind her. Countless bottles were smashed into pieces.
The bar owner, like usual, hid behind the bar and shouted angrily, "You bunch of bastards, I just renovated this bar, you must compensate me..."
Elsewhere, Aiden and the Black Lagoon four were sweating profusely, discussing.
"Damn! Didn't expect to get dragged into such a pointless fight." Dutch wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Thankfully they're fighting each other, which is perfect for us."
"Let's slip out now." Benny also wiped sweat off and continued, "If we stay any longer, I'm afraid she'll get excited and kill us too."
"Hey, you cowards, are you that scared?" Although Revy was also shocked by the scene, she still drew her gun and said, "Are we joining the fight or not, give me a clear answer."
She glanced at Aiden, who was holding Garcia, "Aiden, let's go out together and take down that crazy woman."
"My suggestion is, run." Aiden gave her a glance and said seriously, "I don't want a mutual destruction fight with her, it's not worth it."
"Oh, then what are we waiting for, let's go." That was the answer Revy was waiting for, and she began crawling toward the bar's back door using both hands and feet.
But Revy hadn't crawled far when she heard Benny shout, "Wait, what about this kid?"
"What else? Of course, we leave him here. His valkyrie maid has already come to save him, and she's so fierce. I don't want trouble." Revy shouted without turning her head.
Dutch strongly agreed with Revy's opinion, "That's right. Now this brat is not only worthless, but he's also a ticking time bomb. We can't risk it for him... Hey, Aiden, what are you doing?"
Aiden, holding the little Garcia, followed behind them. Hearing the question, he replied, "Of course I'm taking him with me, what else?"
"But his maid has come to pick him up." Dutch said, "She'll kill us all."
"The problem is, look at his current state." Aiden pointed at Garcia clinging tightly to his arm. At this moment, his face was full of fear, and he was muttering, "She's not Roberta, the real Roberta never killed like this before."
"He's terrified. I think it's better to take him away first." Aiden added, "Wait until he calms down, or until his maid calms down, then we send him back."
Dutch sighed helplessly, "Although it's a bit troublesome, do as you wish."
Then he turned and continued crawling toward the bar's back door.
At this time, Revy, who was crawling in the front, ran into a little trouble. She was spotted by the bar owner.
"Revy, you bastard, it really was you Black Lagoon guys who brought this trouble." The bar owner couldn't suppress his anger and roared, "How many times has it been now?"
"What the hell does it have to do with us? This has nothing to do with us, you idiot." Revy slammed the floor hard and shouted back.
However, just as she spoke, the gunfire in the bar mysteriously stopped, so her voice sounded especially loud in the suddenly silent bar.
Dutch slapped his forehead, "Crap."
As expected, the few gang members still alive after Roberta's slaughter heard Revy's voice. Their boss peeked his head from outside the bar and shouted after glancing around, "Black Lagoon, why are you here too? Oh right, how's the cargo we commissioned you to transport?"
"Wait, don't say it like that, Abrego. This has nothing to do with us, we're just delivery guys." Dutch quickly waved his hand, trying to distance himself.
But the man named Abrego saw Garcia beside Aiden and shouted, "Isn't the cargo right there with you guys?"
"Uh…" Dutch was speechless.
At this time, the blood-soaked maid lady also saw Garcia beside Aiden. Her expression instantly calmed, lowered her gun, and called out, "Young Master."
But Garcia didn't dare look directly at her, still clinging to Aiden's arm.
Roberta glanced at Aiden, then continued, "Young Master, the Master is very worried about you, please come back with me."
Saying that, she took a few steps forward.
Seeing her approaching, Garcia immediately hid behind Aiden.
Roberta had no choice but to stop and said, "It's only natural for you to fear me now. After this is over, I will explain everything to you."
Saying this, Roberta swept her gaze over the Black Lagoon members and coldly said, "As for the others..."
She raised her umbrella-gun and pointed it at Aiden, "They should die first."
Hearing this, Garcia quickly stepped out from behind Aiden and stood in front of him.
"Roberta, don't. Aiden is a good person." Garcia shouted.
Aiden was deeply moved after hearing this. 'Good kid, I didn't care about you for nothing.'
Unlike Aiden, Roberta clearly froze, "Didn't you hear? These so-called Black Lagoon people accepted the job of transporting you. How could they be good people?"
"Young Master, please move aside. Once I deal with them, I'll take you back."
Garcia shook his head hard, "No, you'll kill them."
Seeing the young master's firm attitude, Roberta hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry, please forgive my rudeness. I must kill them, not just for you, but for the honor of the Lovelace family."
Hearing Roberta mention family honor, Garcia froze and hesitated.
"Alright, Garcia, step aside." Aiden pushed Garcia to the side and said, "Looks like your maid doesn't intend to let us leave easily."
He recalled Roberta's nickname, it had the word "Hound" in it, and it wasn't just about her skills.
"You're wrong, sir." Roberta looked at him, "In fact, you're not allowed to leave alive."
"Well, that's troublesome." Aiden walked beside Garcia and said to Roberta, "I want to live well."
"You messed with someone you shouldn't have." Roberta said. "So, you must die."
"What if we don't want to die?" Aiden asked.
"There is no 'what if.'" Roberta raised her umbrella-gun again. "The people I want to kill, none have survived. No exceptions."
"Unfortunately, an exception is about to appear." Aiden sighed and drew his gun.
Although he didn't really want to fight Roberta, it seemed like the battle was inevitable now.
Seeing Aiden draw his gun, Revy also drew hers. Though Roberta's fierce strength had intimidated her earlier, she didn't want Aiden to face such a dangerous woman alone.
But soon, she heard Aiden shout, "Revy, don't interfere. Let me handle her alone."
Revy hesitated for a moment, but out of trust in Aiden, she put her gun away.
"Rock, take Garcia to a safe place." Aiden shouted at Rock again.
Rock nodded, forcefully dragging a somewhat reluctant Garcia to Dutch's side.
"Alright, the area has been cleared. Now, let me show you whether or not I can be that exception."
Aiden's empty hand gave a shake, and another Beretta 92F pistol appeared in his hand. Then, with both hands crossed in front of his chest, he assumed a ready stance.
Roberta looked at Aiden's left hand, and a trace of curiosity flashed through her eyes. With her eyesight, she actually hadn't noticed how that pistol appeared.
'Unless… he conjured it out of thin air.' Roberta thought somewhat unrealistically. 'Or is it just some cheap trick?'
She shook her head slightly, throwing away those distracting thoughts, then aimed the umbrella gun at Aiden. The next second, she fiercely pulled the trigger.
Bang!
As the umbrella gun spat out a burst of flames, dozens of tiny steel pellets shot toward Aiden.
Naturally, Aiden wouldn't be easily hit like those small-time thugs. The moment Roberta pulled the trigger, he darted out, circling around her at high speed while continuously pulling the triggers with both hands, firing at her.
"Interesting." Roberta raised the suitcase to block the bullets. A trace of interest finally appeared on her usually cold face.
