Chapter 6 - The Ultimate Betrayal
Anaëlle could not possibly believe the horrifying scene unfolding directly in front of her eyes.
Her own brother had actively, willingly teamed up with the traitor to assassinate Julian for money.
"You sold us completely out to the Russians, didn't you, Marcus?" Julian asked his underboss incredibly calmly.
Marcus smirked arrogantly, keeping the heavy shotgun perfectly leveled at Julian's beating heart.
"Your empire is getting incredibly weak, Boss, and the Russians offered a very generous hostile takeover," Marcus gloated.
Lucas actively refused to make eye contact with his completely devastated sister.
"I had to do it, Anaëlle, they offered me millions to simply bypass the internal security grid," Lucas muttered weakly.
"You are a pathetic, miserable coward!" she screamed at him, hot tears of pure rage spilling over her cheeks.
Julian subtly shifted his weight, pushing Anaëlle slightly behind his protective, massive frame.
"If you shoot me now, the biometrics on the main offshore accounts will permanently freeze," Julian warned Marcus firmly.
"We already brought a skilled hacker to cut off your dead thumb and bypass the entire system," Marcus laughed cruelly.
Marcus cocked the heavy shotgun, the metallic sound echoing terrifyingly in the small concrete bunker.
Anaëlle knew Julian was too severely injured to draw his weapon faster than Marcus could pull the heavy trigger.
She suddenly remembered the heavy silver clip Julian had taken from her hair earlier that evening.
It was still resting visibly in the front pocket of Julian's ruined, bloody suit jacket.
She reached rapidly forward, pulled the sharp hair clip, and hurled it directly at Marcus's arrogant face.
The sharp metal struck Marcus exactly in the left eye, causing him to scream in blinding, absolute agony.
The shotgun went off violently, but the scattered blast hit the concrete ceiling, raining heavy debris down upon them.
Julian instantly drew his hidden pistol and fired two flawless, lethal shots directly into Marcus's chest.
The traitor collapsed heavily to the floor, instantly dead before he even fully hit the ground.
Lucas panicked completely, dropping the heavy bag of cash and raising his own trembling gun at Julian.
Julian aimed his weapon directly at Lucas's forehead without a single shred of hesitation or mercy.
"Please, do not kill my brother!" Anaëlle screamed, stepping directly into the deadly line of fire.
She stood squarely and bravely between the ruthless mafia boss and her highly treacherous brother.
Julian's finger hovered dangerously over the trigger, his green eyes burning with lethal, uncontrollable fury.

Before Julian could make a final decision, a massive explosion rocked the entire underground facility violently.
The heavy concrete ceiling began to crack and collapse violently right above their unprotected heads.
