Ramon quickly grabbed the gun that was on his waist and pointed it at Pyro's head with a savage look on. He was ready to kill.
Anger had blinded him and he could not tolerate this.
Pyro's failure in his job, putting his wife and future child in danger now was something Ramon could not accept.
On the other hand, the other bodyguards held their breaths at the scene. They were very surprised to see Ramon's reaction and also how he looked now.
Never had they seen Mr. Tordoff being so furious, until resorting to such an extreme decision without much thought.
They all held their breaths to see what would happen next, it didn't feel like just a second had passed, as it dragged too long and Pyro could only close his eyes in the face of death that was rapidly approaching him.
A moment later, a single and crisp gunshot could be heard and not a single one of them couldn't hold their breath at what was happening before their eyes.
It took a few seconds longer for them to understand what actually happened.
The bullet had indeed been fired from the gun that Ramon was holding, but the bullet did not penetrate Pyro's head. It only scratched his temple and left a wound that now oozed fresh blood on the side of the bodyguard's face.
While behind Ramon, the bodyguards who had followed him back from the party had just arrived and got out of the cars.
They were no less surprised when they saw Mr. Tordoff pointed his gun at Pyro and heard gunshots.
What happened? Is Mr. Ramon intending to kill Pyro? They all shuddered. Because Ramon never once acted mean toward his people, though they couldn't say the same to his enemies.
Therefore, what they saw now was something that left them in shock and speechless.
Luckily, Ramon changed his mind at the last second and fired the bullet slightly to the side.
Apparently, the self-control that Ramon cultivated was still functioning well, as he still had complete control over himself and didn't let his anger and intent to kill completely overwhelm him and blind his ability in assessing the situation.
He still needed Pyro to get Hailee back.
Ramon still needed Pyro' skilss and killing this man would only slow down the process of finding his wife.
"Stand up," Ramon said in a low voice. He lowered his gun, but the tension in the air was still palpable.
Meanwhile, slowly, Pyro stood up, his body shaking and he couldn't believe he had just made his way past death's door with just a thin line of Ramon's sense of consciousness coming just in time.
Pyro didn't even dare to look Ramon in the eye when he finally stood up and faced the man, because the Ramon who was in front of him now, was terrifying. Even for him, who had repeatedly seen death or been involved in other heinous deeds.
The bodyguard couldn't even utter a word, as if Ramon's presence alone was pressuring enough for him. He also didn't feel the pain in his temple which was scratched by the bullet and was now bleeding.
"Gather everyone and find out about the background of the missing bodyguard."
"Yes, Sir," replied Pyro in a trembling voice. He didn't realize how violently his body was shaking under Ramon's cold gaze until he gave him an answer.
After saying this, Ramon got into his car and left the place.
It was only after the man left that they could all breathe better again. It was a very terrible experience.
But, the bad news is; it wouldn't be over until they found Mrs. Tordoff.
They only hoped that Mrs. Tordoff would be fine, or else…they couldn't imagine what kind of hell Mr. Tordoff would put them through, considering how protective he was of his wife.
================
Ramon returned to the Tordoff residence, after giving orders to bring Lis home by force, while Lexus was still at the hotel to see the event to the end, of course with double security that left him uncomfortable.
Lexus grumbled many times, but since the bodyguards received direct orders from Ramon, the only way to get an explanation was to ask his brother directly.
Only, Ramon could not be contacted at all. Not a single call from Lexus was picked up by him.
And this raised suspicion and a lot of speculation in Lexus's already over-thinking brain.
Therefore, throughout the event there was only one thing that Lexus wanted, namely; ending it quickly before heading home to find out what was really going on.
Meanwhile, Ramon walked into his house, which had now been cleaned of the remnants of the fight that had taken place, with quick and decisive steps.
In the living room, Lis was waiting for Ramon with a twisted face. She had never been treated this badly before.
