My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 997 Taking The Lead
With a deafening boom, the tank opened fire, releasing its shell.
The artillery soon landed and exploded, creating a large crater as it blasted all the enemies away and stained the earth red.
Unadulterated fear surged through the hearts of those who were lucky enough to escape the disaster, for they had just had a
brush with death.
“Honey!” Lucas did not expect Ashlyn to be so radical and violent.
I can’t believe she just ordered the tank to open fire!
“Apart from us, Dixon and Wilson, there are still two other forces out there in the forest eyeing us.” Ashlyn pursed her lips, her
voice ringing in Lucas’ ears. “Can’t you just put a little more trust in my abilities, Honey?”
“I just don’t want you to get hurt,” Lucas said as a shudder ran through his body.
His fear came from the fact that he had someone he loved.
Anxiety and terror gnawed at him, not because he was cowardly but because he instinctively wanted to keep Ashlyn away from
danger and face all the remaining perils alone.
He had prepared himself to stay behind and provide cover for Ashlyn’s retreat.
However, he didn’t expect that not only did his beloved not want to retreat, but she wanted to fight back as well.
Given the current situation, we are now the ones taking the lead. As for all those dead illegal immigrants in the old factory
building, they have become the most compelling evidence for us to use against Dixon. If the evidence falls into the hands of any
other forces or is destroyed, Dixon may once again escape justice. Apart from that, we could also become cannon fodder for any
of these forces.
With that thought in mind, Lucas no longer hesitated and sprinted toward a tall tree before making his way to the top of it. His
eyes were gleaming with fierce determination as he pulled out his gun and raised his binoculars.
He then raised his gun and aimed at the leaders of the newly arrived forces, shooting them one by one with deadly accuracy.

The sudden barrage of fire caught the other party off guard, and almost everyone started to retreat. Unable to get any closer,
they could only lie down on the side and shoot from a distance.
Cassandra gaped at Lucas, stunned beyond words. Those people were at least fifty or sixty meters away from us, yet he was
able to take them out with a single shot each?
Her confidence as a shooting champion was once again shattered by Lucas’ action.
With wide eyes, she muttered at Spencer, “I’m aware of how incredible Boss’ marksmanship is, but I didn’t expect Mr. Nolan to
be so awesome at it as well.”
In response, the latter cleared his throat lightly and remarked, “Well... he is the guy who won the amateur shooting competition
in Maredania two years ago, after all.”
Cassandra was rendered speechless when she heard that.
Back when I was the official shooting champion of the national team, I remembered there was also an amateur shooting
competition held in Maredania the year I won the championship. At the time, it was said that there was a champion who could hit
the bullseye without fail, which was a really impressive feat. However, since it was in the amateur category, it didn’t garner much
attention.
All of a sudden, Cassandra felt that her title of shooting champion of the national team meant nothing in the face of Lucas’ skill,
who was but a mere amateur shooting champion.
She praised, “Mr. Nolan’s skills are so d*mn impressive!”
Boss and Lucas are like a power couple who can do anything!
Meanwhile, almost every one of the newly arrived forces had dropped to the ground.
As the crowd started thinning out in the front row, a man in black suddenly appeared from behind when he saw his comrades
dropping like flies. In a deep voice, the man uttered, “They’ll definitely escape if this goes on.”
Another man chimed in, “This is our best chance to kill that woman, Ashlyn. After all, Silvermoon has special feelings for her and
has been reluctant to kill her.”
“Go, Sebastian. Kill her!” The man’s voice rang out, his tone cold and dripping with malice. “We mustn’t let her live!”

“Understood!”
When a man in black not far away heard the words, he immediately leaped toward a tree in one fluid motion. With just a few
jumps, the man soon disappeared from everyone’s sight.
The forest’s temperature seemed to drop and the surrounding became darker as the biting wind blew through the midnight air.
Meanwhile, Ashlyn and Lucas were both holding a gun with the muzzles pointed at the front, firing fiercely and killing an enemy
with each shot.
“Take a break, Honey. Let me take care of this!” Lucas said with a fierce and dominant look that resembled that of a lone wolf as
the corners of his lips curved into a smile.
