My Beautiful Boss novel Chapter 148

"You will not make it out here, alive, Peter. It would be best for you to surrender quietly. If you don't, I promise we will not go easy on you," Black Rasetsu said angrily. She knew the fight would be brutal.

Eight men were part of the car shop ambush and a dozen more were hidden, including three gunmen.

Even with Peter's fighting skills, he was gravely outnumbered. It was impossible for him to win.

"Do you really think you can hurt me?" Peter shifted his gun and pointed it at Black Rasetsu's temple. "Do you not believe that I can kill you before I die?"

Black Rasetsu looked at him, speechless. She knew he was right.

Then, Peter turned to the eight men. "Ask your companions to come out. If they don't, I will shoot."

"Ha, ha!" one of the men began to laugh. "I don't care if you kill her.

We were only ordered to kill you. Saving her is not part of our deal," he said.

This astonished Peter.

Black Rasetsu, on the other hand, looked disappointed.

It saddened her that her men did not care about her life at all.

"Sorry, darling, it seems that you're an expendable resource to your companions. Why do you even bother fighting at their side? You might as well trust me. I will surely treat you better,"

Peter said with a smile, adding fuel to the fire.

Black Rasetsu looked at him wordlessly with a sullen expression.

"You're really something, aren't you? Even at the heat of the moment, you are still thinking of ways to turn your opponent over to your side," the man said.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he ordered his men to attack.

Taking the lead, he charged at Peter first

as his seven companions followed.

The men clearly had no plan to save Black Rasetsu's life. They did not care less if she survived or not.

This made her feel very hurt.

A part of her hoped that her companion's statement was only a ploy to distract Peter and save her. She did not expect them to really abandon her the way they did.

Despite Peter's threat to shoot, they still engaged with no hesitation.

"What a great team you have here! Clearly, you've been through a lot. Your bond is apparent," Peter mocked before he released her and charged at the men.

To avoid getting too much attention from the people outside, he opted not to shoot right away.

Also, he was well aware that there were still men hiding. Surely, some of them would have guns. It was best for him to save his bullets for when it was time to defend himself from the men in the shadows.

The men were well-coordinated in their attack. As soon as they arrived at a good distance, they started throwing him several punches. They were fierce. Clearly, they were accustomed to violence.

Peter knew this was serious, so he prepared himself for an intense fight.

The eight men in front of him did not worry him very much. He was more concerned about the ones who were hidden.

There would be no way for him to defend himself against a man who was about to shoot him from behind.

Lost in his thoughts, Peter received the men's attacks. He decided to be on defense first as his formidable adversaries went at him, blow by blow.

Bam!

Missing his target, one of the men's punches fell on the wall behind Peter. With its impact, the whole wall began to crack as if there were an earthquake.

Peter seized this opportunity to give him a hard kick.

The man was unable to dodge his attack. The impact sent him to the ground, sliding back for a few meters. He was too weak to get back up.

His seven companions rushed at Peter again.

Peter stepped back to avoid the attack.

Unfortunately, he was not fast enough. He received two of the men's attacks and shuffled backward, losing his balance. Pain spread all across his chest.

This made him very, very angry.
