M Country, Washington, Mr. Consul's private residence, 11:45 p.m...
In the room, the consul is already asleep.
For the high reward, a large group of assassins sward again.
Unlike previous assassination orders, with the increased difficulty, the assassins accepting the order can be individuals, teams, or even people who have never t before.
As long as they reach a consensus, the reward obtained after taking down the target will be distributed among them.
Following the previous failed assassination, the bounty has increased by two million US Dollars. Those desperate souls who care for nothing but money will surely not miss this opportunity.
Among them are unstoppable assassins, as well as fledgling newcors. They arrived quietly at the consul's house, each following their own plan.
First, attract the attention of the bodyguards.
The bodyguards here at the residence are far more nurous than those at the consulate. To reach Mr. Consul's room directly, one must first draw a portion of the combat force away, then have others storm inside.
"It's been confird, the target is resting in the room. The sniper cannot find a vantage point to aim at that room. There are thirty-eight people in the house, including thirty-two bodyguards, all ard. Additionally, so unfamiliar faces have entered the residence, according to the information provided on the assassination order page, it's likely that the Yanhuang Soul from Huaxia has intervened."
"Very good, sniper, go ahead and explain the current distribution of the guards."
"Three people at the front gate. Others are evenly spread around the house, with several strangers in the second-floor hall. One sensitive woman, I just brushed past her with the sight and she imdiately turned toward . She must be an expert."
"A coincidence, surely. How could soone beco alert just by coming under the sniper sight?" One assassins who just started out remarked dismissively.
"Better be cautious. We're here to make money, don't end up earning with no life to spend. God and Demon Brothers, please have one of you deal with the woman to prevent widespread casualties due to montary lapses." The captain of this operation, reputed and respected with significant personal strength in the Assassin World, said.
"Hmph, let her kill a few, then we'd have more to share at the end." A sarcastic voice ca through the intercom, presumably one of the God and Demon Brothers.
"Hey, we're all trying to make a living here. Cooperation is key; our shares are based on contributions. But if anyone abandons the job or fails to deliver, don't bla for being harsh afterward. Okay, it's 11:45 now. Given the lax guard at the gate, let's attack from there first, sniper get ready... strike when I finish speaking, everyone listen up, once the sniper fires, the first team will lure them from the gate direction, while others enter from three directions, God and Demon Brothers, you're the strongest here, but the Yanhuang Soul is involved, so restrain them, then I'll find an opportunity to infiltrate the target's room to finish him off."
"Sure, but if you die and the target turns out to be killed by us brothers, your share will belong to us." Hahaha..."
"If we all cooperate well, tonight we can split that over seven million US Dollars. Sniper."
"Okay..."
'Whizz.'
"Bang."
With the silencer on his sniper rifle, the bullet accurately shot towards the heart of one of the bodyguards at the gate.
The bodyguard fell down imdiately, while the other two rushed to help him up, carrying him to a sheltered spot.
Not dead? Watching the struggling bodyguard, the sniper frowned deeply. A shot to the heart from less than five hundred ters should have been fatal. What's going on?
'Clang.'
With his two companions' protection, the hit bodyguard gasped heavily, pale-faced, pulling out two large steel plates from his chest and back.
The front plate right over the heart position was dented by a sniper bullet.
"Are you okay?"
"Ribs broken, two or three I guess, cough cough, seems no organs hurt. Almighty spared , huh, I made it alive. Thanks to the beauty's heads-up. Don't mind , get ready to fight."
"Take care then."
"Mm."
When the first bodyguard was hit, normally the other two would be killed imdiately by assassins; however, those moving in secrecy were secretly dealt with by the Hidden Assassination Squad mbers from Yanhuang Soul.
Indeed, this was Shen Zuimo's suggestion. An old hand indeed, actually setting a trap to lure the enemy in with the setup. Pretend that only three guards are at the door, while the rest shrink around the house protecting Mr. Consul.
The other side expected to launch a frontal attack to attract attention. Even if known to be a feint, we have no choice but to fight back hard.
"Bang."
Although the sniper noticed sothing wrong, right after firing the first shot, the assassins were already charging through the gate.
Admittedly, the captain's plan on the assassin side was quite sensible. Shen Zuimo made a counter strategy, but after all, this is a tough battle.
Gunshots rang out, blades and swords clashed. Suddenly, the area around the residence turned into a battlefield.
Outnumbered, they could only fight defensively awaiting the arrival of the police.
However...given the situation, even if the police arrive, they won't deter the opponent unless in big numbers.
That's why Shen Zuimo kept emphasizing, if Mr. Consul can be discreetly escorted away, it's better than staying here as a live target.
"Long Er, inform everyone to be cautious of the sniper. If you have a chance to rush out, try to take the sniper down first." Shen Zuimo spoke to Long Er downstairs through the intercom.
"I'm not going anywhere, I will stay and protect Mr. Consul."
"Foolish man. You're risking your brothers' lives."
"Bang."
"Bang."
"Bang."
Indeed, before he finished speaking, the sniper's rapid three-shot took three young lives. In such close-combat confrontation, a sniper presence is deadly.
