Aaryan's hands were steady as he aimed the gun at the men, who were the bodyguards of Daniel, across the suite.
His heart was pounding very fast, but his eyes never wavered.
For a moment, everyone was frozen, nobody quite sure who would move first and who would have the final laugh.
Suddenly, Daniel's face twisted with hate and fear toward Aaryan.
Before anyone could speak, he pulled his arm up from behind the desk, and out flashed the black mouth of a pistol.
He aimed straight at Aaryan's head.
"Watch out!" Catherine cried, her voice was breaking in desperation, as if she had seen the Yama on the pistol of the Daniel, and he is coming to take the life of the Aaryan.
And it all happened before, anyone could respond or react to it the voice of the Catherine.
Daniel's finger pulled the trigger of the pistol, fired, and the sound was deafening in the small room.
Bang!
Catherine, acting on a pure instinct and in fear, she lunged between the two men just as the gun fired, with her disvieled figure.
She reached out toward the Aaryan, as if she could shield him with her own body, so not let the bullet to pierce the body of the Aaryan and not let the bullet hurt him.
But unfortunately, the bullet didn't miss the shot, because, when Catherine yelled but she didn't reached the destination, while after hearing yell of her, his body leaned by a few degrees, but the bullet still pierced his shoulder.
The Crimson blood sprayed on the face of Catherine, cutting the air, and her blonde hair.
For a heartbeat, everything was silent, almost dreamlike.
Catherine felt hot wetness splatter across her cheek, a sick, metallic taste filling her mouth. She stared in shock, not even sure whose blood it was.
Aaryan staggered, feeling the piercing of the bullet slice past his right arm.
Pain exploded in his right shoulder.
He barely had time to react, to step back, raise his weapon, shout, or curse.
All he could see was the face of Catherine, her wide, terrified eyes meeting his, red blooming across her skin like the petals of a dying rose.
Time felt wrong and slow. Through the ringing in his ears, Aaryan heard her gasp, saw her trembling hands reaching for his wound.
Reacting quickly to the situation, he quickly turned his face at the four bodyguards and fired at them with his left-hand gun before they could even react. Then, he quickly shifted his aim toward Daniel, who was reloading his pistol to fire at him, and fired, but not to kill.
He killed the four men with headshots using his automatic pistol before Daniel could even reload.
"Puff..." blood spurted from the hand of Daniel, as Aaryan shot him in the hand. Because, he would not kill him here, not now.
Daniel's gun clattered to the floor and it was almost destroyed. He fell, twisting as though in slow motion, landing in a heap by the overturned chair.
For a moment, everything stood still and the eerie silence.
Looking at his right injured shoulder, which was pierced by the bullet from Daniel's gun, he grabbed his right shoulder with his left hand, after putting the gun in his back and one in his system space.
"Aaryan...are you alright...?"
Catherine pressed her forehead to Aaryan's left shoulder, holding him as if she might fall apart if she let go of him.
Blood ran down both of them, while her tears still falling, mixing with the mess.
Around them, the dead bodyguards lay on the floor, and they died with the fear on their faces.
No one can say a single word. No one can be moved.
There was only the sound of Aaryan's rough and fast breathing breathing, while Catherine's soft crying, and the dull thunder of Aaryan's heart pounding in his own ears rapidly.
He gently wrapped his left arm around her, as gentle as he could, and whispered with a shaky voice, "You're safe now. I promise. Don't cry..ummm okay?"
His right arm was trembling, not because of the bullet pierced his right shoulder but because of Catherine, who jumped between him and Daniel to save him.
For him, who was a top commando in his previous life, but because of injuries, and he had studied nuclear physics Ph.D, so he went to under PMO. So killing these minions at close range, he could even do after closing his eyes.
And when he found that, she has jumbed between them, he was almost lost his breath, fortunately, it didn't shot her. And with his, systematic strengthened body, he will be fine, as long as bullet is taken out.
Catherine noticed the rising heartbeat of Aaryan and couldn't help but hug him tighter.
"Aaryan, it was my own fault, I shouldn't have said to you not to kill him... it is all because of me." She started to cry with her gentle and soft voice, on the left shoulder of Aaryan and tears of Catherine were penetrating the shirt, and giving the coolness to chest of the Aaryan.
Looking at Catherine, Aaryan didn't speak, he just raised his hand and caressed her blonde hair with his left hand lovingly.
"Aaryan, let me remove the bullet from your hand and let's go to your room." She spoke, as she looked at the condition of the room and Daniel, who was lying on the floor and also blood coming out from his mouth and hand.
"Well first you go and change your clothes, anyone will come here and can see you in this situation." Aaryan refused her and told her to go and change.
Umm... she nodded.
She let go of Aaryan and went to the washroom to change her clothes first.
Aaryan watched her and then turned toward the gate, taking out the pistol and aimed at the people who were coming, and with the people present there, there were the security of the Titanic and the Steward Anton, who was responsible for the management, was also present there.
The nobles who came looked at the scene couldn't help but look at the injured shoulder of Aaryan and the men lying dead on the floor of the ship and Daniel, whose right hand was almost shattered by the gunshot of Aaryan.
"Mr...Aaryan, what is this...?" Finally, after mustering up the courage, Anton spoke to Aaryan.
"Well Mr. Anton, the young master of the Daniel family tried to kill me, with his men, so I fought back to protect myself and my friend also." Aaryan didn't remove his aim from their heads.
Well, looking at the situation, Aaryan looked at the dead bodies present there and spoke again.
"Remove these dead bodies, otherwise it will be a bad experience to the people who came on the voyage and also the reputation of the Titanic will get a stain on it."
"As for Daniel Rothemere, I suggest you give him immediate rescue, otherwise who knows that he dies while bleeding. After all, he is already fainted." Aaryan snorted and then looked at Catherine who came out of the washroom and headed toward the fainted body of Daniel, then she took out a medical box from the drawer and came toward Aaryan.
Catherine also noticed these people, but she didn't care, but she found the eyes of Anton were not good. She immediately understood and spoke.
"Don't worry, my family will pay the remuneration fee for the mess and destruction we have caused in the ship." Catherine, changing her usual calm and gentle tone, spoke coldly to Anton.
"Yes Miss." Anton nodded at the words of the Catherine, and geustured the securities to bring the dead bodies and fainted daniel to safe room.
"Wait a minute, Remember to drop Mr Daniel Rothemere at the Queenstown dock, so he can return to his home and have a shelter to his family." Watching, these securities taking them away, Aaryan smiled and said.
