H.U.R.T
Who is the Attacker?

Crime on Coney beach is minimal. But that doesn't mean there's never been a crime. It's just that Austin and Darren were off guard, not considering this possibility. They do not carry weapons and certainly they avoid everything related to the law or the dark world that always brings a sad story to them.

Willson wants to live a safe and peaceful life. There is no drama that brings a flood of blood and tears. What happened to Lexi and Steven was enough of a lesson. They are victims of greed and ambition. Many lives were lost, many families lost family members. All of this they don't want. However, if silent means those who have to fall.

Pax also warned Austin not to interfere with DragonBlack. The man agreed. The only delinquent behavior the man was currently doing was wild racing. So far there's no problem. Austin and his members gave enough money as bribes to the local police and so far their actions have never caused any harm.

Almost a year had passed since the last incident that required them to take up arms against the enemy. Until this moment they had no problem conflict with anyone. So, it was very natural that they did not prepare weapons while traveling.

Then what is this? Why is there a sniper? Is anyone still after them? Have a grudge against Willson? Or TheDevile still exists, still not accepting their defeat. The ambitious Arthur is gone. Willson has confirmed that Arthur's descendants are not involved with his father's crimes. Arthur has only one daughter who hates the man so much and the girl does not cry when she hears of the father's death.

Ignore Arthur, who has nothing to do with this story. The man's story is over. Back to the initial question, who was targeted by the sniper?

Darren may have misjudged the direction of the shot, but it is still possible.

If Austin had a problem, the man's gesture must have shown caution. What Darren noticed while at the beach, his sister was so free, there was nothing that made him anxious and alert.

Then, Isabell? The Kingdom of Spain is known for a kingdom that does not have severe conflicts with anyone who requires royal members to be targeted.

Darren shook his head, this isn't targeted. But intending to eliminate. By eliminating Isabell, what did they get? There seemed to be no benefit whatsoever to them considering Isabell was the son of the king's treachery.

Wait a minute, there is a possibility Isabell is being targeted. Attended by the royal members. Isabell was not welcome there. The Empress openly showed her hatred for Isabell. But, the empress was unlikely to carry out this act of determined action. Even if he wanted to eliminate Isabell, why not do it a long time ago.

After all, if the empress dares to do this fleeting thing, of course the risk is very high. Empress, a very considerate woman. Uphold the honor. Very slim possibility if the empress or other members of the kingdom would commit a crime that could destroy their image. But that doesn't mean it's impossible. When it comes to the heart, everything will feel fair.

Darren could not imagine that the hot lead would penetrate any of Isabell's body parts. When he finds Isabell's body set to boom on Lexi's wedding day, he's about to die. Ck! Excessive, at that time he was seriously injured. He could have died from blood loss, not from seeing Isabell's life threatened. After all if the boom in Isabell's body exploded that time, it was certain that they were all dead.

Holy hooch! What is he thinking?! Run, save them!

What's up?"

Darren tilted his head and there he found another answer. No, not an answer, but it makes more sense that Jossie and her children are being targeted. Didn't Jossie say they were probably being watched.

"Snipers!" Darren forced his brain to stop working. But who would kill a child? What did you get by killing two such sweet little children?

"Call the police!"

Darren immediately ran over while shouting to call his sister.

"Austin!!"

Austin and Isabell stopped, they turned around. The four of them frowned looking at Darren who was running towards them while shouting, get down, get down!

"What did he say? I remember we were going to the rides? Not playing a race."

"I think he wants to join us" Isabell chimed in on Austin's remarks.

"HOPE UP!!"

"Please? Why should we be down?" isabell asked with a frown. Austin immediately opened his eyes. Find a reason why they were asked to get down.

"Wait at 3, a sniper!!"

When Austin turned his head, the bullet was fired, causing a sound. A bullet shot towards them, followed by the next bullet.

"Oh, fuck! Isabell, down!!" Austin gave the order while his two hands forced the two young children who were with them to get down. Jorell and Jely were pushed quite strongly, compactly crying hysterically.

While Isabell who was asked to lay down just budged in the original position with a pale face and panic. Both hands are placed in the ears.

"Isebell." Austin stands back up and pulls Isabell to the side of Darren, who jumps up to them and pushes him until Austin and Isabell roll over, while Darren falls in love with the body protecting the two boys who are still crying.

"Mrs. Willson?"

Three local police officers approached Austin who was standing anxiously in front of the hospital room. Yeah, Darren got one shot in the left shoulder.

Not only did he look anxious but also Isabell and Jossie who were hugging their two children.

The beautiful face of the woman besides showing anxiety but also implying fear. He tried to hide his fear in front of his children.

"Mrs. Willson?"

"Mrs. Willson, we..."

"Have you found the culprit yet?" he asked by interrupting the sheriff's words.

"We haven't...".

Austin's face was furious for a moment. If the police have not found out who the sniper is looking for trouble with them then why are these cops in the hospital, standing in front of him. Do they think this is a trivial matter? His brother's life almost floated and his brain was tired of thinking guessing who was after them like Darren did a while ago.

As long as he thought, he found no answer at all. He feels clean from things that could get them in trouble.

"If you haven't found the villain yet, then why are you still relaxing here? Visiting brother? Not-time. Darren's still being checked. And if you're wondering if he's alive, of course he's alive. Go and do your job right."

"We have some questions, Mr. Willson."

"Is your question more important than finding the villain?" Austin asked curiously. He wasn't worried Darren died from just one shot. What he was most worried about from the impact of a bullet was the flaw. Let's just hope the damn bullet didn't damage one of his brother's nerves.

Austin realized that his fierce remark made the sheriff misbehave. Gabriel Scoot's. Austin read the name tag on the left breast of a man who was no longer young.

Sheriff Scoot cleared his throat, his protruding jakun up and down in his crisp, crimped jaw. Austin thought the man looked like a turtle with a small head sticking out from behind the collar of an oversized shirt.

Thinking of such unimportant things was important to maintain his sanity. If he thought about the fact that Darren was injured while he was there and helpless, he could go crazy, destroy something or maybe kill someone.

On the beach he is barely able to maintain it and the reason why he is still sane to the hospital is because Darren is still declared alive, not dead on the spot.

Mr. Scoot again cleared his throat, "You were right about the direction the shot was coming from."

"You don't have to doubt that." Austin grunting.

Mr. Scoot nodded, "Yes, the shots came from there, from the roof of the hotel."

"Then what else are you doing here, Mr. A scoot? We've made it easy for you to track down the shooter. The next thing you're supposed to do is study the shoe tracks or whatever and maybe the fingerprints. What kind of thing do I have to teach you, sheriff."

"You know Bartoli Ortiz?"

"I'll kill you if your question has nothing to do with this case." Austin really wanted to blow his anger at the old man before him and he would probably have done so if no two girls and two little kids were watching them.

Mr. Scoot pulled something out of his pocket. A bullet. "Bartoli Ortiz's. We found it around the beach." Mr. Scoot shows a bullet that has a special engraving on the lead.

Austin flinching. This kind of thing happens often. His family also had special carvings on their guns or bullets. He also realized that there were indeed two bullets fired and one lodged in Darren's body who was undergoing surgery and unfortunately until now, the doctor had not come out as well.

"I don't know that name" he said after trying to think for a while. Come on, he's anxious to think about Darren's fate, the sheriff actually invites him to play a crossword puzzle.

"This is going to sound very embarrassing to us. Bartoli Ortiz is a high-end brunette who has been targeted by the FBI for almost 30 years. Failure for the FBI. He and his father, Fernandez Ortiz, are criminals who blatantly leave their mark when they commit crimes. This case is deliberately kept secret and also covered by the case experienced by your family, precisely your father a few years ago."

"What exactly do you want to say, Sheriff?" Austin was getting impatient.

The case experienced by his father decades ago is with a mafia group that is none other than his brother's biological father. It had nothing to do with Bartoli except for her father who accidentally made the man survive the pursuit of the authorities because at that time the country was not okay, so that all focus on finding rescue solutions. Bartoli should thank them but why they were attacked. What is this concept? He also does not care about the failures experienced by the authorities. In his eyes, the officers always failed to carry out their duties.

"For so long they never showed up and acted. This is their first appearance."

"And their appearance begins by attacking us." Austin concluded.

"That's what I want to ask you, Mr. Willson."

"Our relationship?" Austin again guessed the question Mr. Scoots.

"Yes." Yeah."

"I don't know. I'll ask you that after you find the sniper. Work hard." Austin patted the Sheriff's shoulder to encourage.

Mr. Scoot is back. The news out there is true. Willson wasn't an easy person to work with.

"I'll come back as soon as your brother can be visited."

"Come with the good news, Sheriff,"

That speech is not just a stale base. The meaning behind Austin's remarks is Don't come before finding the shooter. And Mr. Scoot knows it.
