Chapter 227: The War that Decides the Fate of \'The Bridge\' Part 30

It is truly an unfortunate sight to see three brothers being forced into a situation where one of them has to pick which one to save. Not to mention, it was the youngest who was put in the situation. But one has to suffer the consequences of their own action.

Spinel, Azurite, and Jade dared to betray Jericho in their pursuit of more richest.

Contrary to them, Jericho, who has the same goal as them, didn\'t betray their friendship and even tried his best to offer help.

Needless to say, Jericho can\'t blame the triplets for the decision they choose as they have the free will to pick whatever side they want. At the same time, the triplets also can\'t blame him for his response to their act of betrayal.

This is the natural order of things.

Before doing something, one must think about the consequences it would bring about first before deciding whether to do it or not.

"Go and save Spinel!" Azurite exclaimed loudly.

That was the wake-up call that pulled Jade back into reality.

Without any hesitation, Jade instinctively went to Spinel just like what he always does whenever he is being ordered by one of his two brothers.

"What a beautiful sight," Jericho raised both of his hands holding the two guns. "Sadly, that isn\'t what I aimed to achieve,"

Bang! Bang!

Sounds of gunshots echoed as bullets hit the bottom of the dynamite mid-air.

The bullets precisely touched just a tiny portion of the dynamites which is more than enough to change their direction of landing.

Instead of the dynamites only going to Spinel and Azurite\'s direction, now there are a few of them also going to Jade who is currently doing his best to save the oldest in their family.

"No!"

"No!"

Spinel and Azurite exclaimed at the same time. The duo swiftly moved to try and reach for Jade.

Time slowed down as everyone watched the triplets being put into such a grave situation.

Regardless of how fast they tried to move, they knew that it is impossible to do anything to change what is about to happen.

"Everyone must pay a price,"

Boom!

A series of loud explosions sounded and a cloud of dust covered the site where the dynamites were thrown.

The trees nearby were blasted into pieces with their top part falling to the ground.

Fortunately, the members of the Wing Boots Auction House were considerably far from the site of the explosion. So, they were safe.

Although they weren\'t completely safe though because some of them are currently seriously injured after fighting against the triplets. And regretfully, the triplets specifically targeted all of their Priests, so they no longer have anyone present who is capable of healing. If they don\'t receive healing soon, they are for sure going to die.

As the cloud of smoke started settling down, the aftermath of the explosion could soon be seen.

Everyone\'s eyes were surprised as they saw Jade completely safe. There\'s now a green-colored barrier protecting him.

As they look at Spinel and Azurite, the duo was hit directly and as expected are now in a critical state.

"Glad to see that it worked," Spinel muttered with a relieved look on his face.

"Who do you think made it in the first place," Azurite chuckled with difficulty.

"Brothers…" Jade glimpsed at his two older brothers before looking down at the pendant that granted him protection from the explosion.

"That barrier will last for an hour. I hope you use it well," Spinel muttered as he took his last breath.

"It\'s our last gift, make the most of it," Azurite added as he also took his last breath.

Just to make sure that they weren\'t faking their deaths, Jericho shot both of their heads. I think you should take a look at

Bang! Bang!

Jade\'s eyes instantly widened in shock as he watches Jericho\'s merciless act.

"You…" Jade stared murderously at Jericho.

Bang! Bang!

In response, Jericho shoot a few bullets at the barrier to test whether it was really what the two brothers had claimed.

"How lucky," Jericho coldly uttered.

"Ahhh!" Jade charges at Jericho.

Because of the slow speed of Guardians compared to markmen, Jericho simply dodge away while Jade continued with his useless pursuit.

"Just give up!"

"No!"

"Even if you catch me, what are you going to do next?"

"I will rip you to pieces!"

"I am afraid that\'s going to be impossible," Jericho advised. "My friends would surely not let that happen,"

Jade halted. He looked around and quickly remember that he is currently in an unfavorable situation.

"Even if you can block all of our attacks for one hour, what then? You\'ll just return to the helpless you once the one-hour mark is up," Jericho sniggers. "No matter what you do, you will not be able to change the fact that you are useless,"

"Why are you doing this to us?" Jade cried.

"Are you an idiot or something? You attacked us and betrayed me. What do you expect me to do? Accept it with wide arms? You were so happy when you were slaughtering my men, and now you cry as if the world is unfair?" Jericho rolled his eyes. "This is the exact reason why I didn\'t join the Assembly of Freedom\'s side. I might be a Villain, but I am not delirious enough to believe that the world should only revolve around me,"

"We were just doing what was good for us,"

"I am also doing the same. So, you three should have just minded your own business,"

"We can\'t," Jade shook his head in fear. "Wesley would kill us if we don\'t help him,"

"Help you with what?"

"Kill your assistant,"

"Kayn?" Jericho looks at Kayn.

"We didn\'t know he was actually Kayn. All we know is that even if all of you can get away, we must absolutely not allow your assistant to leave the Daze Village alive,"

Everyone can\'t help looking at Kayn.

On the other hand, Kayn is fully aware of why — Wesley hated him.

Gilbert finally understood everything. Nobody revealed their location. From the start, Wesley was fully aware of it. The only reason why the latter assigned men, including Executives and elite members, to the exit of the underground passageway, was so that they can make sure Kayn, who they knew as Jericho\'s assistant, is dead.

From the very start, all of this was targeted at Kayn.

"What can I do? I attract trouble," Kayn was helpless about it. Though he does feel guilty.

Honestly, this was something that he already expected to happen. With power comes great responsibility. And responsibility comes with sacrifices. This time, the cost was Jericho\'s men.

Left with no other choice, Jade chooses to escape.

"I will get my revenge, mark my words!" Jade exclaimed as he run away with his tail between his legs.

Bang! Bang!

Jericho simply shoots twice in response.
