Chapter 94 Friends?
Chapter 94 Friends?
The Mandarin Oriental is located on Brick Island, across the water from the Four Seasons Hotel, and connected to the Miami mainland by a bay bridge called the Brick Island Bridge.
However, when Levi drove Alex's Audi A8L onto the bridge, he found that the traffic flow was... abnormally low.
"It seems Lawrence has prepared a welcoming ceremony."
This was Li Wei's judgment, because he believed Lawrence could do it.
"That's definitely his style, after all, he doesn't like to be disturbed when he's 'playing'."
Alex seemed to have regained his elegant and composed demeanor, but it was too fast, to the point that Levi even suspected that his previous panic was an act.
Levi glanced at Alex out of the corner of his eye.
Until I saw Alex loosen his tie, his hands trembling slightly.
Okay, Alex's calm and composed demeanor right now is just an act.
Since that's the case... Li Wei doesn't mind getting some information out of him.
"So, Khadgar Portfield won't be involved in this 'game'?"
Alex nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"Neither Khadgar, nor Samuel, nor I can take away Lawrence's pleasure."
"If anyone is so ungrateful... they'll suffer a terrible fate."
These words immediately piqued Li Wei's interest.
How bad was it?
Alex didn't answer, but instead pointed behind him.
"You can ask him yourself."
Li Wei glanced in the rearview mirror and saw a lightning silver Aston Martin DB12 speeding towards him at at least 300 miles per hour, arriving at parallel position almost in the blink of an eye.
The black-tinted car window rolled down from the driver's seat, revealing Lawrence's handsome yet chilling face.
"Hi!"
Lawrence took the initiative to greet Levi.
The next moment, without warning, he suddenly turned the steering wheel and rammed into Li Wei.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, Li Wei's Audi A8L was forced to the edge of the guardrail, sparking like fireworks exploding.
Li Wei didn't rush to retaliate, but instead made a sarcastic remark to Alex.
"So Lawrence didn't care whether you lived or died at all?"
Already fastening his seatbelt and gripping the passenger-side armrest with both hands, Alex, who was sweating profusely, did not answer Levi this time. Instead, he turned to look at the back seat, seemingly considering whether to change seats.
Because the passenger side door had started to bend, Lawrence seemed to be planning to ram the Audi A8L into the sea, or... crush it?
Regardless, Lawrence made his stance clear once he spoke.
"Li Wei, you nearly drove Samuel to the brink of despair with your ordinary human body."
So, show me your skills and don't let me down.
Clearly, he only cared about the kind of fun Li Wei could bring him.
As for Alex's life or death... that's none of his business.
"What are you after? Or are you just being shameless? Do you enjoy fawning over Lawrence's cold shoulder?"
Levi said a Chinese proverb in English, which caught Alex off guard.
However, Li Wei did not intend to turn him to the side; it was just a casual remark.
After saying this, Li Wei's counterattack began.
He slightly raised the muzzle of his gun, aiming it at Lawrence over Alex.
"Rat-a-tat-tat!"
Without hesitation, Li Wei pulled the trigger and fired a short shot.
Lawrence's response was nothing short of a movie special.
He jerked the steering wheel to create distance between himself and Li Wei, and the three bullets whizzed past his head, piercing the roof of the DB12.
Then, in less than a second, Lawrence turned the steering wheel again and crashed into the side of the Audi A8L.
The speed and the force of the impact made the Audi A8 bounce, and the passenger side door, which had been gleaming many times, was ripped off and stuck between the two cars.
"Li Wei, your counterattack really disappoints me... it's too conventional and childish."
Lawrence's assessment of Levi was both a complaint and a mockery.
Li Wei ignored him, instead gently placing the original AK-47 in his hand on the control panel, and then reaching into the travel bag in the back seat.
Soon, he found Arafat's "old friend".
With a pull, a PKM light machine gun was dragged over.
The ammunition box was already hanging there. Li Wei calmly tucked the PKM between his legs and pulled the bolt with a "whoosh".
"Hold on to the tripod firmly."
Li Wei directed Alex without any qualms.
Alex glanced at Levi, then at Lawrence who was all smiles, and took a deep breath.
"You're all fucking crazy!"
Alex roared at the top of his lungs, then unbuckled his seatbelt and tried to crawl into the back seat.
Li Wei grabbed the gun strap on his wrist and pulled Alex back.
Alex slumped back into the passenger seat.
This time, Li Wei didn't ask for his opinion again. He simply lifted the PKM with one hand and pressed it onto his shoulder.
"The barrel will get very hot in a bit, so I suggest you hold the bipod firmly and don't let the muzzle touch your skin."
Fuck you!
Alex cursed loudly, but not wanting to get burned by the gun barrel, he immediately gripped the bipod and raised the muzzle.
"This is finally getting interesting!"
Lawrence suddenly said this, and before Levi could pull the trigger, he slammed on the brakes and, in a drifting motion, rammed the rear of the DB12 into the outer corner of the Audi A8L's rear.
"Bang!"
"Rat-a-tat-tat—"
The sound of impact and gunfire rang out almost simultaneously. The violent shaking of the vehicle not only caused Levi's rapid-fire to miss, but also caused Alex to be unable to withstand the recoil of the light machine gun, almost falling off the passenger seat which had no door.
In the nick of time, he instinctively grabbed the scalding hot barrel of the gun.
"Fuck!"
Alex cursed as he was burned, but with most of his body exposed and the back of his head less than ten centimeters from the asphalt pavement, he could only grip the gun barrel tightly and dare not let go.
"Let me see what you choose!"
Lawrence said this, but it's unclear whether he was referring to Levi or Alex.
But he acted swiftly.
Lawrence accelerated again, maneuvering the DB12 to crash into the Audi A8L once more.
But unlike before, Alex's head will be smashed before the side of the Audi A8L.
"Bang!"
With a loud crash, the rear door of the Audi A8L was also knocked off, but Alex sat in the passenger seat, still shaken.
His wrist was dislocated, and his palm was covered in blisters, but the shock to his soul outweighed the physical injury.
If Li Wei hadn't used the gun strap strapped to his wrist to forcibly pull him up, his head would probably have rolled off like that car door...
"Lawrence...aren't we...friends?"
He mechanically turned his head, looking at Lawrence who seemed within reach, but asked the question with a heart full of doubt.
His knowledge of psychology was insufficient to comprehend the current situation.
Lawrence's answer, however, was quite simple.
Did I ever say we were 'friends'?
