Chapter 68 - Xiang's Revenge

David took out an optical heat-seeking lens from the black case of his sniper rifle and attached it to the front of his rifle sights. Xiang did not lie about his condition. From there David could see about thirty-two people pointing their guns at Xiang. And there was one large person who was about two and a half meters tall.

It was unmistakable that this person was Benedict Rivaro, one of the three great former generals of the legendary mafia syndicate Hendric Brasco who had been at the top of David's list of targets for revenge. The one who made Xiang want to follow Cederic to join David so that he can get a rematch with him.

Even though they would eventually face the three former great generals of the legendary mafia syndicate Hendrick Brasco, David did not expect that one of them would appear this fast.

We meet again, ugly bear." said Xiang who was still able to cast insulting words at Benedict even when he was in such a desperate state.

Benedict smiled broadly. "So the news is true, that you joined David. Why would a great person like you want to become a pet dog for a lowly human like David?"

"So what? Are you jealous?"

The communication device rang in Xiang's left ear. "Keep buying time as best you can, David and I will think of a way out for you."

Xiang also sighed heavily. "Hey, if you and David are dragged into this trap, it will only prove that we are a bunch of amateurs. After all, David made a promise to his wife to come home tomorrow. Also, this ugly bear in front of me is the reason I want to follow you. So, let me finish my own business this time. "

"Are you crazy? Stop talking nonsense, he is alone while the three of us, we will beat him by numbers. The Demon Prince is also on our side. It should be Benedict who feels cornered here, not us."

Xiang smiled again. "Did you hear what Cederic said just now, David? What do you think?"

"Don't involve Angeline as your excuse for committing suicide, or I'll blow up your kidney myself." said David who had been thinking about how he could help Xiang out of the cornered position and also finish off Benedict in one attack.

Xiang looked up when someone suddenly appeared from upstairs. Before he could be surprised by the presence of that person, another person could be heard walking behind him. Without turning around, he could predict who the third person was.

"You guys better step back. I don't have another chance."

"What the fuck do you mean?" Cederic asked, while David was still silent waiting for an answer from Xiang.

"The three of them are here. Not only Benedict, but Isaac and Steve too."

"What?! How can they--"

Xiang pressed the communication device in his left ear to turn it off. Cederic and David didn't understand why Xiang did that. Xiang also threw the communication device on the ground and stepped on it until it shattered into pieces.

Now Xiang has completely cut off all communication lines with everyone.

"Bella, can you hear me? Reconnect me with Xiang!" shouted Cederic.

"I tried my best, but it looks like he has crushed it."

"Fucking bastard!" cursed Cederic annoyed. "Marshall, do you have any explosives? If you do, set off on the east and north sides of the building, get their attention. David and I are going in the back door."

"Sorry, but because the places we attacked earlier seemed so easy, I was too lazy to carry the explosives because I thought we wouldn't use them."

Cederic was even more frustrated. "Do you think we just came to play around? Stupidness has its limits too! I can't believe you--"

"Shut up, you're too loud."

One sentence with a cold tone from David made Cederic swallow his own saliva. Even though it was only a voice, he felt intimidated by David's aura. Cederic believes that this time David is no longer in his usual state, David is now very different when they are talking casually. Is the Demon Prince really this terrible?

"So, are you going to just stand there and let them kill Xiang like that?" Cederic asked David back. Cederic is a person who can stay calm in times of stress, but when it comes to the life of one of his precious friends, he can also panic a little. However, the very cold voice from David that he had just heard in his ear seemed to bring him back to his senses, and Cederic regained his composure.

No answer from the communication line. Cederic has lost hope. Likewise with Marshall and Bella. Even Bella had tears in her eyes. Even though they were only a group that had not been formed long ago, Reus Coronam already felt like family to them.

"Okay, looks like we should--"

BOOOOOMMMMMM! ..

The sound of an enormous explosion caught the attention of everyone who could hear it. The source of the sound of the explosion came from a truck that was traveling at high speed out of nowhere and crashed into the front of the building where Xiang was trapped. From his place, Cederic could see traces of the oil spill from the truck's driveway.

Someone must have deliberately made the oil leak, and when the truck crashes into something, the sparks generated from the impact of the truck's front bumper with a hard object that was hit will immediately ignite the spilled oil. And the oil spill that has been ignited will immediately spread to the gas tank quickly. Cederic didn't hear the slightest gunshot, which meant that the person planning the truck's explosion had calculated it very precisely, so there was no need to use bullets to blow up the truck's fuel tank.

But, who planned that?

Who is the lunatic who blew up a truck like that?

The communication channel created by Bella, which was previously silent, is now really shocked by someone's voice.

"I've made the explosion you asked for. The rest, it's up to you what to do, but I'll go in first."

"David? But how could you plan for that so quickly? I mean, weren't you still at the top of--"

"Talk later. I'm a little ... busy here."

The communication line from David is really noisy. The sound of gunshots that continued to sound made Cederic, Bella and Marshall realize that David, the Demon Prince, had advanced alone while they were still frozen in their position.

The three people were thinking the same thing. Is David really someone this crazy?

On the other hand, inside the building, Benedict smiled broadly. "Did you hear that? Explosions followed by interlocking gunshots. Looks like David stepped out alone to save you. That stupid bastard has always been naive."

Isaac Dominic, who was standing upstairs, threw his cigar on the floor and blew the smoke from his mouth. "Looks like this place will become a very noisy battlefield. I don't like noise. I'm gonna leave the business here to the two of you."

"Are you going to run away as usual, you damn coward?" asked Benedict, which made Isaac laugh.

"Sometimes, it's a coward who survives the last. Also, I always leave behind gifts before I run away."

Isaac threw a tool the size of a baseball at Steve who was standing behind Xiang. Steve caught it. Before Benedict asked what object he gave Steve, Isaac was no longer in this place.

"What the hell is that?"

Steve didn't answer. He walked over to Xiang who was still doing nothing. Steve kicked Xiang's right leg from behind and immediately choked him in the neck from behind. With a very fast movement, Steve put the tool given by Isaac into Xiang's mouth, then hit his neck so that Xiang swallowed the tool whole.

Xiang coughed on the floor, while Steve was already walking away. Before he completely disappeared, Steve turned his head to say what object he had just put into Xiang's body.

It was a time bomb type explosive device, had a small scale explosion, but would still destroy Xiang's body from the inside.

Isaac knew that Benedict would end this with a hand-to-hand fight with Xiang. And Isaac also predicted the time David would reach this place after slaughtering all the people who were in the northern part of the building where they were.

So regardless of the outcome, whether Xiang or Benedict will win the fight, Xiang will still die when the time David comes.

"You can have fun with him. Isaac gives you ten minutes. Before the time is up, you'll have to leave this place, or you'll have to face David and his friends alone. Also, Isaac has had explosives installed on every foundation of this building. The time is set one minute longer than the bomb inside Xiang's body. So you only have one minute to get away from this building." said Steve before he stepped out of sight.

Benedict smiled broadly. "All of you, lower your weapons. Anyone who shoots, I will immediately kill on the spot. This time, it is my fight against the honorable gentlemen over there. Mmm ... Or you guys better go to the front of the building, shoot anyone who tries to break in and leave the two of us alone."

Hearing Benedict's order, the people who had aimed their firearms at Xiang started running toward the front of the building, where David was fighting many people at once.

Xiang also laughed. "Hahaha ... you all are indeed a bunch of pathetic dirty clowns. Well, if that's what you want, I'll kill you in less than ten minutes."

Now only Xiang and Benedict are there. Without the slightest warning, Xiang immediately dashed towards Benedict who was still standing firmly in his place.

Benedict had descended onto the floor Xiang was on, so they were only a few meters away and faced each other.

Xiang jumped up and gave Benedict his right knee as the opening reward for the fight they were about to do, while Benedict had already clenched his fist and rewarded Xiang with a very strong left hand punch.

Baam! ....
