The man sat in Han Lingshi's office, with the muzzle of his gun trained at Maya Okudera. The latter was an easier target and he was exploiting the empathy and sympathy that Han Lingshi had in her nature. The blonde man seemed to have come out of movies.
He was smiling at Han Lingshi and asked, "Miss Han, if I am correct, then you are only recently married. In our data, it was never shown that you had any love interests through out your life. Why are you trying so hard to protect your husband then? I have checked him, he does not seem to be much, but he sure knows how to make money. Tell me, I am very curious."
Han Lingshi gazed at him calmly but she did not say anything. The blonde man pulled the hammer on the pistol back, as if he was ready to shoot Maya. His actions made the cold empress rethink the situation and she said, "You will know the answer if you ever loved anyone."
The man released the hammer and let it rest in the initial position before he said, "I know what it is like to love someone. That someone died trying to complete her task. That task was to kidnap and kill you. She was a mound of ashes when your police found her. Tell me, what would you do if that were to happen to your husband."
Han Lingshi nodded and said, "That is tragic."
She did not show any emotion to the man before her. Even if this guy was to kill her, she would not bend, all she hoped was for her family members to find out what is going on here and help her.
The man before her leaned back in the chair, and said while gazing at the ceiling, "After twenty minutes, I will strip your clothes and hang you out of this window for the world to feast on your beauty. Then after ten minutes, I will drop you down for your husband to scoop your flesh."
Han Lingshi trembled, this man was a demon in her mind, but she could only clench her fist in rage and frustration. Maya Okudera looked at her, and then back at the man before her. The ladies decided what they would do if things came to suffer the outmost humiliation.
...
Han Tang had just received the news thanks to the media outlets, and he was on call with someone.
"Why have you guys not deployed the forces yet? Are you all a bunch of fools? Motherfucker if anything happened to my daughter, as much as a scratch on her body, I will lay you all to waste with my own hands."
Han Tang used to be a military man, the reason he was calmer usually was because he was now at home and not the battle field. However, now that he learned about the predicament of his daughter, how can he manage the image of a calm bystander? His blood was boiling at this moment.
Gao Yue watched him from the side, and looked at Yue Shi, who was also on call with her father. The latter put down the call and said, "Shenlong is out of town, my dad will lead the team on his own. The army will take fifteen minutes to mobilize, my dad will reach the location in fifteen."
Han Tang crushed the phone in his hand and left the house. Gao Yue sighed and said, "It would be nice if he can stay calm over there."
Yue Shi shook her head and said, "He has already lost it, his battle lust is one scary factor mom."
Hao Ren fished out his phone, lined the camera with the scope of the sniper rifle and clicked a picture. Then he placed the device on the ground beside the gun and as he asked, "Xiao Mei where are the other two snipers."
The AI replied, "Ten degrees left, on the top of the Luminous Tower. Fifteen degrees right, on the twenty-fifth floor or the Gyser building. These people are aiming at Miss Han from all the french windows that expose her to the outside world."
Hao Ren adjusted the gun and spotted the two people. He looked around him and found a small walkie-talkie. It was useless for him to contact the people. Suddenly, he said, "Well, I should just kill them all before walking inside the building. They will not talk anyhow."
Then he took aim, at the man in the Gyser Building before he took a deep breath to stabilize the gun, made some calculations and squeezed the trigger. The sniper rifle was placed a few meters away from the edge of the terrace, so no one on the ground could see the flash, and it was suppressed with a top notch suppressor as well.
Hao Ren fired the shot, and then he turned around to aim for the sniper in the Luminous Tower. The same process was performed again, and the bullet flew through the void. The distance between both the targets was more than a fifteen hundred meters, yet Hao Ren took the shots and nailed the two men to their death beds perfectly.
The man in the Gyser Building was laying next to an open window, so Hao Ren did not have to fire through the glass or a commotion might have alerted the people. After he was done, his face turned pale. He never had a good time killing people, and the sniper rifle with such a high level ammunition could scatter the brains of a person out in the void.
None of the terrorists knew about this. Hao Ren stood up from his position and came over to skim his first victim. After making sure that he did not find any recording or streaming device, he held the face of the man and asked, "I will give you a quick death if you tell me how much time do I have?"
The man held back his pain and opened his mouth, but he was not going to tell him anything. On the contrary, he spat some blood in Hao Ren's face. The young man wiped his face clean quickly before he lifted the man in his hands and took him over the edge. Hao Ren said, "I will pray for your happy departure. May god punish you for all your sins."
Then under the shocking gaze of the mercenary, Hao Ren let go of the person. A loud scream echoed in the surroundings as the man fell down from the height of twenty floors.
...
Hao Ren arrived near the building again, but this time he found that the police was busy communicating with a bunch of people in black leather jackets and jeans. They all had the monogram, Yue engraved on the collars.
He found an old man watching the building with a stern face, but Hao Ren did not approach the people. He walked about and arrived at the side of the building. Most of the people were standing with their cameras at the front and the back door. Hao Ren wanted just this, he found a place with some back and dashed forward.
Then a few meters away from the wall, Hao Ren scooted down, and exerted the pressure through his legs, before launching himself in the void and getting over the wall. Hao Ren landed on the ground, and looked around the place.
The hunt has begun, and it would only stop when the person responsible for all this would beg for mercy under Hao Ren's fist.
Bonus chapter coming tomorrow along with the regular chapter. Sorry for the delay, I have just been cleared for sitting on the chair, and could not write these past few days because the doctor prescribed bed rest. I have a back and legs issue. Thank you for your patience and support all this while .
