Philip was shocked when he noticed that these bastards had armor-piercing rounds! There is no way they are normal!? You can't buy armor-piercing rounds unless you are one of the big three in this city!
Ding!
Philip's phone suddenly pinged as he got a message, and he took a second to look down at it quickly! It was a message from Tim, and the message only contained one phrase!
[Here comes the cavalry!]
Philip's mouth split into a grin once he realized that Tim had finally gotten the reinforcements, and he shouted to his men to get behind cover! All the men moved to hide, and Philip covered his head and ducked as he heard the sound of loud engines revving while coming in their direction! Multiple bulletproof cars drove into the junkyard and turned their windows towards the unknown attacker! The windows rolled down to reveal multiple large Gatling guns and they quickly began to unleash hell on the attackers!
RATATATATATATA!!
The attackers had already thought that they were close to winning when the grenade-man appeared, but the moment the reinforcements arrived, they all screamed in fear as their covers were obliterated! The bullets from the Gatling guns were all armor-piercing rounds, so there was nowhere for anyone to hide! The grenade-man let out another laugh as he unleashed more grenades towards the reinforcements and commanded his driver to take him out of there! They already got to destroy the warehouse, so they didn't need to stay around for this bullshit! The unknown attackers all got into their cars, and they began to drive away while still shooting randomly to prevent anyone from catching them off guard!
Philip glanced out from behind his cover once he heard the sound of the attackers running away in their cars, and he quickly went to enter one of the Lucas cars and told them to follow the attackers! The cars all drove out from the junkyard and into the main road, and they continued their shootout even on the road! The men were leaning out from windows and standing on their backseats so they could shoot through the sunroof and all the civilian cars that were on the road immediately began to swerve out of the way so they couldn't get hit!
Philip leaned out from the side window and aimed for the tires of the cars in front of him to take them out, but he couldn't get a good shot since they were swerving so much! Philip cursed as he threw the rifle away and grabbed a Glock 19 from behind him to continue shooting, but someone suddenly shouted from beside him!
"Hey, who's that!?"
Philip quickly looked in the direction where the man was pointing, and he was shocked to see someone driving straight towards them like a madman! This was a one-way road, but the person didn't seem to care at all, and Philip immediately knew that there was only one man who would be insane enough to pull a stunt like this! Dante was here!
Dante's eyes were narrowed in concentration as he guided his mustang straight towards the military carrier holding the grenade-man! At the speed he was going, Dante knew that a collision would kill everyone in both cars, so at the last moment, he swerved the car to the right and barely dodged the military carrier! Dante pointed his gun out from the window as he was turning around and fired a single bullet into the rear tyre of the military carrier! The tyre burst from the impact, and in the next moment, the entire car flipped on its side and crashed into the ground!
'Fuck, it's the Grim Reaper! They didn't tell me this fucker was going to be here!'
The man with the grenade arm cursed as he fell out of the military carrier! He saw that the driver and some other man had been killed in the attack and he cursed as he quickly fired a grenade in Dante's direction and waited for his men to come pick him up!
[+0.5 Firearm Proficiency]
Dante ignored the system notification as he quickly swerved his car out of the way to avoid a massive explosion! Multiple cars crashed all around him, but Dante managed to evade all of them as he continued shooting more bullets towards the enemy cars as he was passing them! Each shot was aimed straight at the car tyre, and Dante turned his wheel sharply to the left to drift to the right when he saw one of the cars trying to crash into him! The car barely scratched the mustang as it passed, and Dante aimed out from the window and fired through the windshield and into the head of the driver!
Bang!
The driver slumped immediately, and the car slammed into another car beside it and caused both of them to crash! But even though some of them had crashed, there were still multiple cars that managed to get away in the middle of the carnage, and Dante watched as the grenade-man quickly got up and began to unleash grenades towards the Lucas family cars! The entire street lit up in explosions that forced the cars to stop, and the man got into a passing car and quickly drove away before they could get through the flames! Dante immediately got out of the car and grabbed an assault rifle from the ground! He took aim and fired at one of the cars through the flames, but the bullet simply bounced off the bulletproof glass, and he clicked his tongue in annoyance as he watched them go! Philip called out to Dante from the side and Dante turned to look at him.
"Boss! Are you alright?"
Dante clicked his tongue as he turned back around to see the cars disappearing into the distance! Dante had caught a glimpse of the man who shot the grenade from his arm, and Dante didn't know why the man seemed so familiar! Dante didn't remember anyone with a freaking grenade launcher for an arm, but Dante felt he had seen him somewhere before. Dante looked at Philip and he couldn't help but glance at the tab floating over his head.
——
Loyalty Progression: 80%
——
Dante was surprised that Philip was only at eighty percent. Philip was a very loyal person, and Dante knew that the two of them had been through hell together before. The system told Dante that anything above fifty percent meant that the person saw him as a trusted ally, so Dante thought that Philip would be at ninety percent at least.
'Well, I can't expect him to put his life on the line for me. He has a family and kids. He would think about them before he thinks about dying for me.'
Dante calmly deduced the reason behind the progression that Philip had, and he decided not to think about it anymore. But Philip's eighty percent progression only made Dante recall the hundred percent that he had seen in Risa's tab, and Dante felt a surge of appreciation towards Risa. Dante didn't know if he would ever be able to find someone as loyal as her in his life, and he was extremely glad that he got her as his maid all those years ago! Dante shook his head, and he quickly told Philip to call the leader of the IT team and tell him to stay on those cars!
"Tell him to tap into the CCTV and follow the cars through the city! I want to know where they go and how many there are!"
