Hirvan looked over, in the chaos, somehow Elian had escaped from the gunman's reach and was inching closer to them. Perhaps at that moment, Elian's instinct had kicked in and made him run. 'Good. He isn't in their clutches now…'
Anyway, all of them were in a dire situation. The opposite side had guns and them, well, it didn't appear to have anything… Maybe he should try to talk to Janiyar and let others go.
Hirvan met Elian's worried eyes a few meters away. He offered a half smile, mouthing him, I'm okay.
Elian glanced at Janiyar and the gunman arguing with each other. He stepped toward Hirvan, thinking they were distracted enough to not care about him.
But all of a sudden, Janiyar sighed dramatically. "Let's end this tasteless game." he raised his hand, aiming at Elian with a handgun.
Hirvan's mouth worked faster than his mind. "No! Dad is innocent...Don't! Please...I'll do anything!" he shouted desperately. Struggling hard to free himself from Lu Hanbing's hold.
