Guards For The Princess

Chapter 48: Hostages (2)

"The best mercenaries with ninety percent customer satisfaction rate what, in the end I'm just human. It's my fault for being too arrogant and trying to enjoy a new peaceful life. Foolish, are you a hero?" Ardian Prasetya is for himself. Fortunately, his position allowed him to receive the bullet properly and dampen it. It only hit his body, not damaging anything vital.

However, the side effects from his injuries were enough to make a quarter of Ardian Prasetya's abilities decrease. As the blood flowed, the crowd cried out hysterically simultaneously. The Angkara Elvira and Tinia Atmaja covered their mouths with their hands while their eyes could not stop overproducing the water. Ardian Prasetya has been shot, he will die!

It was so close, the two could see that Ardian Prasetya could completely dodge the bullet if he was unaware of the presence of another girl behind him. Thinking that, Angkara Elvira turned her gaze to the girl that Ardian Prasetya was protecting, a hint of anger reflected in her wet eyes.

"Yes, that's what you got, insects?" The Bald Robber looked at the man in front of him in satisfaction. He wanted to shoot once more out of his anger, but one of his men ran panting towards him and said, "Boss, there are now more Policemen on the way!"

"The squat frogs!" The Bald Marauder cursed before raising the tip of the gun to the head of Ardian Prasetya. "Because you really want to be a hostage, then I will use you well. So, stupid boy, break up! Mat Codet, you take care of this boy!"

"Good, Boss!" It was currently Mat Codet's turn to point his weapon at Ardian Prasetya's head. "Let's go, boy, this is what happens when you try to act like a Hero, hahaha!"

Ardian Prasetya remained silent as he considered his options. The robbers were too far from each other and their eyes were trained to watch over the backs of their comrades. In a situation like this, it would be difficult for him to drop them smoothly. Aside from the fact that these people are not ordinary robbers, on the other hand there are also innocent civilians involved, the chaotic effects of the Police crowd will also further complicate things.

"You, little lady! Wake up!" The Bald Marauder pointed his weapon at Angkara Elvira, he was still unwilling to let go. For some reason, Angkara Elvira finds herself braver than ever. The police were already surrounded, just waiting for the time before they were released. Therefore, they should be able to buy time.

Tinia Atmaja was about to stand with him as well, when Angkara Elvira stopped him with an eye gesture. Tinia Atmaja had planned to go with Angkara Elvira, but the gaze of her best friend asked her not to act on impulse, they would be better off if Tinia Atmaja stayed behind to save them later.

"Let's go!" The Bald Marauder barked while pointing a gun at Angkara Elvira. Ardian Prasetya, on the other hand, felt troubled. He wondered why this bald fellow was so fixated on Angkara Elvira. Did he know that Angkara Elvida was Adam's daughter or because of his brain that had indecent thoughts. Both of them were the most plausible explanations, there was no other reason why the man was so insistent on making his Young Miss a hostage.

One hostage should be enough to negotiate with the police. No matter how many hostages he had, all it took was for the Police to keep their weapons away.

"Listen to me, you straw-eating frog!" The bald robber shouted from the door where the other robbers were. "Reverse two hundred meters and don't send anyone after us! I'll kill these hostages if you do!"

Chen Sisi already knew a stupid situation like this was going to happen, initially he chose not to besiege the Bank directly, he understood very well the pressure it would put on the robbers. Such stress manifests in various forms and is prone to causing unexpected actions from the parties around him. A smooth and hidden siege, on the other hand, would have been a wiser move, given the possibility there would have been no hostages in the first place if they had ambushed on the escape route.

Unfortunately, the top brass rejected the suggestion with convoluted and angry reasons. The Bald Marauders then opened the door and marched out with Ardian Prasetya and Angkara Elvira as hostages, pleased with the obedience coming from the Police. This is a big win!

"Young lady?!" Arnold Ken who was standing beside Chen Sisi, exclaimed as he looked at Angkara Elvira.

"Old Ken, don't tell me the hostage?" Chen Sisi asked nervously. "He is Angkara Elvira, the daughter of the President of Angkara!" Arnold Ken panicked. The chairman was on a business trip, and it was his responsibility to look after Angkara Elvira. He would be in deep trouble if something happened to him.

"What!?" Chen Sisi froze, panicked as well. Of the many people, how could the daughter of the President of Angkara be chosen. God can be so cruel as to make the things he fears most come true.

Chen Sisi who knew of this couldn't waste time contacting the director. "Report, Sir! One of the hostages has been identified as the daughter of the President of Angkara, the girl is Angkara Elvira!"

The director of the police department started sweating after hearing those words. "Do a new rescue operation safely and proceed with extreme caution! Negotiate or whatever! More than anything, we can't lose Elvira's Angkara!"

"However, Sir! Our side has already prepared a sniper! They were ninety percent sure that they would kill the robbers!" Chen Sisi tried to argue.

"That's the problem, shrimp brain! You said it yourself, the chances are ninety percent! What about the other ten percent, and what if something goes wrong and the ultimate one is Princess President Angkara, we will both be unable to take responsibility for this mistake!" Director scolds. "I told you to play it safe, right? Listen to their requests before anyone else! I'll take over your action decisions after that!"

"Good, Sir!" Chen Sisi was very troubled. He had planned to play out a plan that would take the target by aiming at the robbers, but that was no longer possible given how the situation was. Even the higher-ups forbid it, what else could he do?

On the contrary, the Bald Robber was very pleased with the helplessness of the Police. Laughter-filled, he rode the black van with the rest of the crew and left. Chen Sisi could only watch helplessly as the car disappeared into the distance, with the most precious hostage in their hands. She seems to have to send her last love letter to her family back home.
