Chapter 214: Bring Me My Sniper Rifle!
Chapter 214: Bring Me My Sniper Rifle!
The woman's head slammed onto the ground, her eyes wide with shock.
Even in death, she couldn't believe she had met her end so abruptly.
Jiang Cheng grabbed her feet and dragged her into the hall, tossing her lifeless body outside the store before turning to leave without a second glance.
Just then, a passerby happened to walk by and witnessed the entire scene, leaving them stunned.
Jiang Cheng paid no heed and continued on his way, not truly leaving but instead seeking out a corner to hide and wait.
He was waiting for the main target to appear.
The Dawn Society had provided specific intelligence about the Eagle Fist Martial Arts Academy.
This included the appearance and strength of each member.
The headmaster, Xie, had taken on six disciples.
The first disciple was a Fourth Rank Force Knight.
The second disciple, the woman's husband, was a Third Rank Force Knight.
The third and fourth disciples were both Second Rank Force Knights.
The two youngest disciples were the weakest, only at the First Rank.
Therefore, as long as the message was accurate and the Eighth Rank Force Knight didn't show up, Jiang Cheng wasn't worried about the others.
Being a Fourth Rank Force Knight himself, and with a large-caliber handgun at his disposal, Jiang Cheng felt confident. If he could retrieve his heavy sniper rifle, it would be even better.
At this thought, Jiang Cheng's mind stirred.
He could go back and get it, but the headquarters wasn't nearby, and the round trip would take time. If he missed the opportunity, it would be a pity.
Perhaps he could ask someone to deliver it.
Jiang Cheng's mind conjured up the image of Red Tea.
But remembering his recent attempt to test him, Jiang Cheng shook his head.
Then, he thought of Nightingale.
Although she had a cold demeanor, her heart was kind, and she had even offered him a friendly reminder to act discreetly and not inform anyone.
This included dividing the spoils, changing the split from 9:1 to 7:3.
Not many people could achieve this.
But Nightingale might not have the time.
"Let's try, and if Nightingale is unavailable, we'll find someone else."
To be safe, Jiang Cheng decided to use the heavy sniper rifle.
Forget about a Fourth Rank Force Knight, even a Sixth Rank being hit in a vital spot would be fatal. If someone from the Eagle Fist Martial Arts Academy had a Vajra Talisman, it wouldn't matter, a single shot would shatter it. If it were an Iron Wall Talisman, it would be even easier.
Jiang Cheng took out his mobile phone and dialed Nightingale's number.
Soon enough, the call was answered.
"What's the matter?" Nightingale's cold voice echoed.
Jiang Cheng almost swallowed his words.
"Nightingale, are you free? I'm on a mission right now and need your help with a small favor."
"I'm waiting for the target to appear, but I only have a handgun with me. I need someone to bring the heavy sniper rifle from my room. If you're available, could you deliver it to me? I'm willing to pay ten thousand yuan for the trouble."
Nightingale fell silent, her voice softening, "Is it just a simple task to deliver a gun?"
"It's just a simple task to deliver a gun." Jiang Cheng emphasized.
"I can do it."
Nightingale readily agreed.
"I'm at headquarters right now. What's the password to your room, and where's the gun located?"
"The password is 654123, and the gun is hidden in a box inside the cabinet. The address is Dingshi Loan Company, just call me when you arrive."
"Okay."
After saying this, Nightingale hung up the call.
"Ten thousand yuan for a simple delivery? Is he that rich?"
She felt it was a bit unbelievable.
But this money was worth earning.
"I hope it can be delivered quickly."
Jiang Cheng put his phone away.
Ten thousand yuan was indeed a substantial amount, but at a time like this, it was unnecessary to be so particular.
Moreover, he wasn't lacking this ten thousand yuan.
It would be best if the gun could be delivered quickly.
If it were delayed, he could still use the gun.
However, regardless of the situation, if the headmaster appeared, it would be better to avoid confrontation. The mission had a three-day deadline, so it would be better to find an opportunity in the remaining two days.
The night had fallen, and the Gale Martial Arts Academy was still brightly lit.
The sound of training echoed within, with many in martial arts attire practicing their skills.
They were not engaged in fancy moves but genuine Secret Arts.
With the Gale Martial Arts Academy's reputation, as long as they paid enough, even the Law Enforcement Bureau would turn a blind eye. Moreover, Secret Arts were not easy to learn, and a decade of training might not even be enough.
Unlike the bustling lower floors, the fourth floor was quiet, with only a handful of people gathered around a table filled with food and drinks.
"Come, fellow disciples, this time, our Master has finally acquired the coveted Obsidian Set from the Black Market," said a man in his late thirties, raising his glass.
The others followed suit, raising their glasses.
"Especially you, Hong, half of the money our Master spent came from your contributions. It wasn't easy," he added.
Hearing this, the others turned to a man in his thirties, their eyes filled with envy.
They were also envious of his assignment.
After all, few ventures could match the profits of usury, especially with dual contracts. One stroke of the pen could earn them a house!
As for the others, they could only earn membership fees within the academy, and their earnings couldn't compare to his.
But they had no choice; the Master had assigned this task to him. They could only wait.
"Senior Brother, you're too kind," Hong Shaoli said hastily. "This is all thanks to the Master's skills; it's not much to do with me."
"Hong, you're too humble. If we had this assignment, we might not have done as well as you," the older man laughed.
"That's right, Hong, you're too modest. Your wife's capabilities are there for all to see," another chimed in.
"Doesn't this prove how capable Hong is? Otherwise, how could he marry such a capable wife?"
"Indeed, it shows how remarkable Hong is," the others agreed.
Hong Shaoli's smile grew broader.
"Cheers!"
They clinked their glasses and drank.
"It seems our Master is in high spirits this time."
The older man put down his glass and smiled. "In a few days, when the Master comes out of seclusion, he will likely teach you the Gale Kick Technique."
"Are we included?"
Everyone except Hong Shaoli was stunned.
The Gale Kick Technique was the Master's prized possession, capable of opening 60 acupoints, a pinnacle among Earth Martial Techniques.
They had all been practicing Human Martial Arts and dreamed of learning this Earth Martial Technique.
"Of course," the older man said with a smile. "Before the Master went into seclusion, he specifically told me that everyone had contributed, and he wouldn't let anyone down. So, everyone will have a share, especially you, Hong. The Master will personally teach you this Secret Art."
"Thank you, Master!"
Hong Shaoli bowed towards the air.
He knew the Master had noticed his efforts over the years.
Suddenly, his mobile phone rang.
"Sorry, I need to take this call."
He smiled apologetically, and the older man waved his hand, indicating it was fine.
Hong Shaoli took out his phone and saw the caller was Han. He frowned slightly, as he didn't enjoy dealing with these people. For a Primordial Energy Warrior, strength was paramount, and he wouldn't even bother looking at these Law Enforcement Team members if not for their uniforms.
The next moment, he answered the call, his face automatically breaking into a smile.
"Han..."
"Brother Hong, your wife is in trouble!"
