Chapter 216: One Shot, One Kill
Chapter 216: One Shot, One Kill
But why would the people from Stormwind Martial Arts Academy come here? As everyone puzzled over this, several members of the Enforcement Team quickly approached them.
"Brother Hong, you're here."
Han Yong's face turned guilt-ridden.
"I'm truly sorry, I didn't expect this to happen."
Hong Shaoli's eyes were bloodshot, and his heart was filled with rage.
But he also knew that lashing out at them wouldn't accomplish anything.
If his master found out, he would only blame him.
"Captain Han, this has nothing to do with you. Where is my wife's body?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt his face heat up, as if some liquid had been splashed on it. Then, he smelled a strong, rusty scent.
"!!!"
The faces of the Enforcement Team members across from him instantly turned pale with terror.
Because they saw that the man who had come with Hong Shaoli had his entire head blown apart like a watermelon!
Hong Shaoli, standing beside him, was also covered in blood, not just on his face but all over his body.
At this moment, the entire place fell into a deathly silence, despite many people already displaying looks of terror.
Hong Shaoli felt something strange.
He wiped his face with his hand and brought it close to examine it.
His hand was covered in thick blood, and the stench of blood filled his nostrils.
"What's this?"
His eyes widened, and his face also showed a look of terror.
Why was there blood on his face?
Whose blood was this?
The next moment,
A loud bang sounded.
His head, like a watermelon, exploded.
"Ah!!!"
At this moment, the place finally erupted with hysterical screams.
"Take cover!"
Han Yong also reacted and shouted loudly.
Obviously, there was a sniper aiming at them from the opposite side! Moreover, the weapon in the sniper's hand should be a heavy sniper rifle, because only such a powerful firearm could blow a person's head apart with one shot or tear a person into two pieces after hitting their spine.
However, before he could take a step, his foot still hovering in mid-air, he followed the fate of the previous two, his entire head blown apart.
Then, the other Enforcement Team members also fell one after another.
Across the street, on the rooftop of a two-story building.
There were two people wearing golden masks.
They were the Jiang Cheng Nightingales.
Nightingale squinted her eyes, watching this scene, and her back also tensed up.
Before the Enforcement Team arrived, she had already reached the location and handed the sniper rifle to Jiang Cheng.
He immediately took out a stack of thousand-yuan notes and handed them to her.
She took the money but didn't rush to leave.
On one hand, she felt embarrassed.
It was just delivering a gun.
Although Jiang Chen said she didn't need to help, if she encountered any trouble, it would be worth the 100,000 yuan she received.
On the other hand, she was curious.
She had witnessed Jiang Cheng's marksmanship, but that time he used a large-caliber handgun.
So she was curious about what would happen if Jiang Cheng obtained a heavy sniper rifle. As it turned out, even she, without any preparation, might be killed with a single shot.
Just like the man who was the first to have his head blown apart.
He was just a Fourth Rank Force Knight, and yet, he was taken out so suddenly. The Third Rank Force Knight behind him met the same fate.
If she had been aware of the danger?
In this city, it was fine, as there were covers everywhere, but if it were an open area, even if she was a Fifth Rank Mentalist, unless she could close the distance, she would likely be exhausted of her psychic energy and then shot dead.
"Fortunately, he's just a Second Rank Force Knight."
Nightingale turned to glance at Jiang Cheng.
If the latter was also a Fifth Rank, with the weapon in his hands, she wouldn't stand a chance of closing the distance.
At this moment, the battle was nearing its conclusion.
Numerous law enforcement officers lay in pools of blood.
Only one or two luckier ones had found cover to hide.
"What a pity."
Jiang Cheng sighed lightly.
These law enforcement officers weren't exactly good people either.
If he wasn't waiting for the big fish, he would have shot them down long ago.
"Time to withdraw?"
Nightingale asked.
"Yeah, let's go."
Jiang Cheng put away his sniper rifle.
The mission objective had been achieved, and there was no point in staying any longer.
Moreover, with such a commotion, attracting formidable characters would be disastrous.
"Then let's go."
Nightingale finished speaking and directly jumped down from the second floor, her long hair dancing in the air.
Jiang Cheng also jumped down, holding his sniper rifle.
For him now, jumping from a height of five or six meters was a piece of cake.
Once he reached Fifth Rank, he would even be able to jump down from a three-story building.
Their jump startled the people nearby.
Initially, there were quite a few onlookers, but from the start of the incident to now, it had been less than half a minute. They were scared and hid, but never expected the murderers to be above them!
Jiang Cheng waved at one of them and then followed Nightingale, running into the alley. They leaped over a two-story wall and completely disappeared from everyone's sight.
"My dear mother, you scared me to death!"
A middle-aged woman sitting on the ground kept patting her heart.
"Yeah, I thought they were going to kill us too."
"So scary, were they just waiting up there?"
"Could it be that those people earlier were also killed by them? After killing, they didn't leave but waited here, waiting for the Stormwind Martial Academy's people to come?"
"But how did they know the Stormwind Martial Academy's people would come? I've lived here for so long, and I've never seen anyone from the Stormwind Martial Academy come to that shop."
"Do you think the Stormwind Martial Academy is related to that shop...?"
The conversation abruptly stopped.
Many people dared not continue guessing.
Indeed, it was strange for the Stormwind Martial Academy's people to appear here.
Could it be that this loan company was indeed opened by the Stormwind Martial Academy?
"Alright, alright, stop guessing. Let's all hurry back. Clearly, this matter isn't something ordinary people like us can get involved in."
"That's right, it even involves that Martial Academy. We should stay out of it and act as if nothing happened, as if we didn't see anything."
"Yes, yes, let's hurry back."
The crowd scattered like bees, fearing that they would be caught if they ran too slowly.
Only the limping man remained standing in place, dazed.
He recalled that one of them had waved at him before leaving, as if bidding farewell.
"Could it be him?"
The man's heart stirred with a thought.
He didn't have any acquaintances here.
"Perhaps, it really is him!"
The man's gaze became complex, but soon, it turned into determination.
"My great vengeance is fulfilled. I must live on, live well."
He told himself, then limped away into the distance.
