Meanwhile, in the bar, the groups that had gathered because of Lola decided to seize the opportunity to attack. A few of them moved inside while others positioned themselves outside. The men in the area were still outnumbered, but they were confident they could take them down.
Communicating through signs and signals, they slowly approached the bar without a sound.
As they advanced, they secretly took down those stationed a little farther from the bar. The Bellemonte captives—saved by Lola from their public execution—led both groups.
But then, just as one of the attackers struck a mercenary with the butt of his rifle and the body fell with a dull thud, those nearby turned their heads.
For a second, both the group and the mercenary froze as they made eye contact. It took the mercenaries a moment to realize what was happening.
"Hey!" one mercenary shouted, followed immediately by gunfire.
