While speaking, Adrian seized the moment when Virgil Davies was emotionally unstable, and ruthlessly shot at him without missing a beat.
The reason why Adrian dared to fire directly was because he was absolutely confident that he could kill Virgil Davies without harming Melody Parker whatsoever.
Virgil Davies was indeed emotionally unstable and failed to react in time; once Adrian's bullet came, he had no other fate than certain death.
There was absolutely no time for Melody Parker to take the bullet for him.
Moreover, in order to obtain the treasure, he struggled to decide whether to let Melody Parker be his shield.
But although Virgil Davies was emotionally unstable and slow to react, his subordinates did react.
At the moment Adrian fired, several of Virgil Davies's men rushed out and shielded him from the life-threatening bullet.
Simultaneously, they also took out their own guns and started shooting at Adrian.
