Chapter 660: Apology and Gunshots.

Twenty-some cars headed towards the Creek Valley District, which inevitably alarmed some people.

Besides Lance’s men, there were also some police cars following them. All of this indicated that something big was about to happen.

But whether it was people like Mayor Williams or those in the Bay Area, for a time they couldn’t figure out what Lance was up to.

With limited intelligence, they could only wait for the outcome.

This made some people feel a sense of panic. For how many years had the wealthy of the Bay Area not been like this, waiting for fate’s arrangement in fear and unease?

They didn’t like this and could only arrange for people to inquire about the situation.

When the first car arrived at the school gate, the security guard came out again. He saw several cars, but not the ones further away that were blocked by the school’s perimeter wall.

He walked to the side of the first car, glanced at the not-so-easy-to-provoke people inside, and spoke a little more carefully, but only a little!

This was the best private school in Golden Port City. Causing trouble here?

Weren’t they afraid of making an enemy of the entire powerful and noble class of Golden Port City?

Although he was just a security guard, at this moment, in his position, even if a bigger figure came, he could still be disrespectful.

Unless the school management spoke up.

He pressed his hand on the windshield, bent over slightly, and looked at the few people in the car. “School rules, at most three people can enter…”

His face had a “this is my turf, you have to listen to me” expression, which was a bit… uncomfortable.

It was just that this time, before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly felt a tightening of his scalp, followed by a huge force that dragged him backwards, causing him to lose his balance.

The intense pain in his scalp also made him cry out in pain. He almost subconsciously pulled out his rubber baton.

“You fucking dare to fight back?”

The security guard was stunned for a moment, and then it was a one-sided beating.

He actually wanted to resist, but with a submachine gun pointed at his head, even if God came, he would have to take this loss today!

He was dragged to the side of the road. Between the soles of shoes and iron palms, he saw that on both sides of the road outside the school, the police were setting up roadblocks.

Now, his head was even dizzier!

Two young men pushed open the school’s courtyard gate, and the convoy slowly drove in. They didn’t go to the parking lot, but stopped directly on the open ground outside the main building.

Elvin got out of the car. He walked to the side of the trunk and opened it.

Inside were submachine guns, handguns, and even grenades. He casually picked up a submachine gun, checked the chamber, and then took a few more magazines and inserted them into his magazine pouch—

It is worth mentioning that Lance had actually applied for many patents, for example, a fast loader, a fast unloader, and the like.

The magazine pouch was also designed by him. This would provide a stable firepower output for the gang members in battle!

Some teachers stood by the window with a dumbfounded expression, repeating God’s name, their eyes fixed on the people on the open ground.

It was only at this moment that they finally knew who these people were.

The members of the Lance Family. This could be clearly identified from the armbands on the upper left arms of the young men. Watching them carry weapons, hold handguns, and even some holding shields as they began to walk towards the main building, some of the more timid ones had already started to cry.

On the contrary, the male teachers, and even some male students, were comforting everyone.

“Don’t worry, the Lance Family never hurts innocent people. Someone must have provoked them!”

Little boys always have an inexplicable expectation and longing for gangster culture. Although almost all the male students here would never join a gang in their lifetime, it didn’t stop them from learning about the legend of Golden Port City.

Lance, and his Lance Family!

Lance, in his office, stood by the window smoking. After he saw the people arrive, he turned to look at the well-behaved vice principal. “Notify everyone to stay in their classrooms or offices, not to go anywhere, and not to cause trouble for themselves.”

“If there are no accidents, we’ll be done soon!”

“If you run around and there’s an accidental injury, you will be responsible for it yourself!”

The vice principal was already well-behaved. She picked up the receiver with a slightly trembling hand and placed it to her ear, dialing the number for the internal line. “Use the broadcast to notify everyone. Have the teachers organize the students to stay in their own classrooms and not to go out. Pay attention to closing the doors and windows well.”

“If a stranger is found in an office…” she tilted her head and looked at Lance.

“Just call for help.”

She quickly continued into the mouthpiece, “Just shout for help loudly, someone will handle it!”

She hung up the phone, feeling a bit speechless. She also wanted to pee now.

At this moment, in a utility room on the third floor downstairs, several people were looking at David with pale faces. “What do we do?”

David was also sweating all over. He was a devout member of the Holy Bell Party. He believed in the gospel of God!

When he joined the Holy Bell Party and was promoted to captain, he had once expressed his heart to God.

If God needed him to be the sacrificial lamb, then he would return to God’s embrace without hesitation, back to God’s pasture!

When he said it, he felt his whole person had been sublimated.

From soul to body, and everything!

He had also believed countless times that he would sacrifice himself for the gospel and glory of God. That was a great sacrifice, a baptism, a sublimation!

So he also often asked his subordinates, when facing some missions that might require sacrifice, to be brave and not to be afraid of sacrifice.

It’s really easy to say it about others, but when it was really his turn to sacrifice, he felt short of breath, his heart was beating fast, and he was very flustered.

So, he was not as… brave as he had imagined!

The eyes around him were all focused on him. He was still a captain. He knew very well that the more at this time, the more he couldn’t panic!

“Maybe… the situation isn’t that bad?”

He forced himself to calm down. “If we run around now, we risk being discovered. We’ll just hide in this room. They might not be able to find us.”

“If they really find us…” The fear in David’s eyes gradually faded and turned into anger. He pursed his lips. “…that will be our glorious moment to return to God’s embrace!”

The others took two deep breaths and nodded vigorously.

If it really came to that last moment, besides fighting, David had no other way. But he still hoped that the other party would not find them.

The school’s board of directors, including the principal, were just as panicked as he was.

As soon as the principal had figured out what had happened, he had cursed and dialed Mayor Williams’s number.

He believed that if there was still anyone who could stop everything and prevent it from sliding further into the abyss, then there was only one person, Mayor Williams.

It was just that the waiting tone in the receiver had only sounded twice before it was suddenly cut off.

When he hung up and picked it up again, there was no sound at all.

The entire school had been taken over.

He and the other management, including the two executive school directors, were just as shocked, angry, and scared, but they could only maintain these emotions and sit there.

On the open ground outside the school, a large number of gang members armed with weapons and submachine guns had already begun to enter the school’s buildings. They were going to search this place.

The principal walked back and forth a few steps. In the end, he gritted his teeth and dialed the internal number—

Although the external phone line had been cut, the internal line was still in normal use.

The phones of this era were all locally powered, which means that the base of the phone would have a power cord. The phone could only be used when it was connected to power.

So even if there was no external network, as long as the internal network was still there, there would be no problem.

Soon, the phone on the vice principal’s desk rang. The vice principal glanced at Lance. Lance motioned for her to answer the phone.

The vice principal picked up the phone and said “hmm” twice, then looked at Lance with pleading eyes. “The principal wants to talk to you.”

Lance took the phone. “This is Lance.”

“Mr. Lance, I’m terribly sorry. I didn’t know this had happened. This is a mistake in my management. I express my sincere and heartfelt apology to you and Miss Loraine!”

“The relevant personnel will be dealt with seriously. The vice principal by your side will lose her job, and I guarantee that she will not get any job opportunities in Likalai State again!”

“That girl named Aishe, she will also be expelled from the school, including the students who framed Miss Loraine with her. We will ask them to apologize and withdraw from school.”

“This is a major mistake in the management of our school. We are willing to bear all the consequences!”

“Whatever you and Miss Loraine demand, we will do our best to meet it.”

“You see… shouldn’t we sit down more rationally and discuss these issues?”

“There is really no reason and no need to use violence. This will only make a simple matter extremely complicated.”

“What do you think?”

“Mr. Lance!”

After listening to him ramble on for a long time, Lance finally said softly, “The entry of my men into the campus has no direct relationship with this matter. It will be over soon.”

“I promise, as long as no one does anything stupid, no one will be injured.”

“As for the compensation and expulsion you mentioned, that’s not important, because Loraine will not be attending school here anymore.”

“I am disappointed with your management.”

“That’s it.”

He hung up the phone and then returned to the side of the sofa.

Aishe was quietly trying to please Loraine. Although she was not old, she reacted quickly.

Although she didn’t know what she would get from gaining Loraine’s forgiveness, she had done so first.

It was just that Loraine was unwilling to communicate with her. Seeing Lance walk back, she took the initiative to walk to Lance’s side.

“Do you mind changing schools?” he asked.

Loraine shook her head. “I don’t mind. Anywhere is fine.”

Lance nodded slightly. “I’ll arrange it.”

As they were talking, a sudden gunshot came from outside. Loraine, Aishe, and even the vice principal’s bodies trembled.

Then the gunshots became dense, and someone was shouting something. The whole process lasted for about three minutes, and then it became completely quiet again…
