Chapter 48 Roar
Rock was busy with work those days and did not go to the Table Mountain Bar, so he never saw Ada again after that day.
As for why Ada appeared here, Rock was not surprised. Ada was born into a noble family and was a military widow. It was normal for her to be qualified to attend the banquet held by the governor. As for those unbearable rumors outside, all men knew what was going on. No one would care about the real big shots. Don't forget that Henry also said that Ada might be the richest woman in Cape Town.
In public, it was not convenient for Rock to greet Ada, but it was okay to give her a warm smile.
In fact, there was no time to smile, because Reed had already come to Rock's side, and the rebels' carriage was just behind Ada's carriage.
Rock gave Henry a reassuring look and waved his hands behind his back. The commandos who were originally scattered at the gate of the manor slowly and silently surrounded him.
Because there were so many guests, carriages were not allowed to enter the manor. They were all parked in a small square in front of the manor. Invitations were required to enter the manor, and checking invitations was also one of Rock and his team's jobs.
Li De confirmed that there were three people in the carriage, two men in tuxedos who were probably trying to sneak into the venue, and a coachman, but the last person was not seen.
Rock was stunned. This was an unexpected situation.
"Gentlemen, please show us your invitations." Henry had not yet realized that the numbers did not match, so he stopped two rebels who were about to enter the venue as planned.
"Invitation, okay, let me find where it is." A 300-pound humanoid unidentified creature with a round figure, a waist circumference estimated to be more than four feet, and a height of less than 1.7 meters reached into his arms.
"Fuck!" Henry suddenly shouted and kicked the fat man to the ground.
"Idiot!" Rock cursed inwardly. Why was he trying to be cool at this time? The correct way to deal with it was to just kill the man.
"Evacuate!" Rock only had time to yell, then pounced on the fat man who was struggling to get up and pinned him down under him.
As soon as his hand touched the fat man, Rock found that the feeling of the tentacles was wrong. The fat man's body was not soft fat, but angular and solid, as if the fat man was wearing a sandbag under his tuxedo!
Rock was instantly shocked.
The fat man was holding a pistol in his hand, with the black muzzle pointing at Rock.
Rock threw an elbow with his backhand, hitting the fat man's neck hard.
The fat man pulled the trigger before he fell unconscious.
Bang!
The bullet flew past Rock's body, and he could feel the bullet scratching his skin, but strangely, it didn't hurt.
"Kill him, he has explosives on him!" Rock held the fat man's hands . Even though the fat man was unconscious, Rock did not dare to be careless.
Dynamite!
In fact, there were a lot of people at the entrance of the manor, including many guests, and even more security personnel and guests' entourage, so even though the fat man fired a gun just now, it did not cause too much chaos.
But when people heard that the fat man had explosives on him, the entrance to the manor suddenly became noisy and the commandos who had been slowly gathering around him now ran towards Rock like crazy.
There are so many people who are not afraid of death!
Henry didn't hesitate. He lifted the fat man's tuxedo to cover his head, pulled out his pistol, put it close to Locke's face, and shot the fat man in the forehead.
Bang!
Rock could feel the heat of the bullet flying out of the gun barrel, and then the fat man under him became limp like a deflated ball.
More gunshots were heard, and the other man in tuxedo and the coachman were shot to death. In this situation, no one thought about capturing them alive. They wanted to control the situation . A dead person certainly couldn't create chaos.
"Stop shooting, stop shooting!" Henry was still posing with the gun, but Rock did not dare to be careless. He took out his gun and stood guard.
"Go in, go in quickly!" Rock warned the big shots crowded at the gate of the manor. There were so many people who loved to watch the fun without being shot to death!
There is another person, but the damn Rock doesn't know where he is hiding.
"Stop, or I'll shoot!" Anton's voice came from the edge of the square, followed by several rapid gunshots.
It's finally quiet.
Only then did Rock feel the burning pain in his ribs. He wiped it with his backhand and saw blood.
As expected, he was injured.
Wow!
The guests, who had just been running around like frightened ducks, gathered at the entrance of the manor and applauded in unison, as if they had just watched a perfect opera.
Henry was like an actor taking his curtain call, placing one hand on his chest and bowing slightly, his posture was truly graceful.
"Locke, you are injured." Reed took a bandage and helped Rock take off his tuxedo and vest , and wanted to bandage Rock's wound.
"Slow down, don't be in a hurry." Rock took off his tuxedo but didn't let Reed bandage his wound. Of course he had to play the victim at this time. The bloodstains were not obvious on the black tuxedo, but they were still shocking on the white shirt. Rock had just taken off his vest when he heard someone screaming at the door of the manor.
Well, it seems to be Ada.
"Oh, Locke, you are injured, you can't die!" Henry was in a dramatic mood and cried while hugging Rock.
"If you don't let me go, you're going to squeeze me to death." Rock didn't dare to speak loudly. Henry, the drama queen, must have done it on purpose.
"Good job, boys!" August Russell finally appeared, his fat face jumping with joy. This is all the credit. Don't think that only Rock and Henry deserve credit. August Russell, the police chief, also deserves credit, and the biggest credit.
"Mr. Chief, please don't come close. That man has explosives." Rock's posture remained standard, even though the wound on his waist was still bleeding and the bloodstains on his white shirt were gradually getting bigger. Anyone could tell at a glance that he was a strong and fearless warrior.
August Russell was frightened by the word "explosive", but as the police chief, August Russell had a good psychological quality. At least he would not give in in front of the big shots at the gate of the manor.
After hearing Rock's reminder, August Russell looked at Henry, and Henry immediately directed several commandos to carry the fat man away from the ground.
Well, there is another passerby next to the fat man——
Oh, and the driver—
Yes, maybe there is a passerby who didn’t get the shot at all——
After all the bodies were cleared, the real big shot finally showed up.
"August, well done. I heard that your men prevented a serious attack. Let's applaud our brave boys." It was Alfred Milner, a real big shot, the Governor of the Cape Colony and the High Commissioner to South Africa appointed by the Queen herself. It was this guy who was the mastermind behind the Second Boer War.
Wow!
The applause rang out again, but Rock just wanted to say MMP.
I'm still bleeding, can't I say a word to comfort the wounded?
Rock's heart was roaring wildly.
