The sniper rifle equipped with a silencer was hidden in the night. Finding it right away was really difficult.
Shen Zuimo had already observed the nearby terrain. Although she didn't agree with purely defensive tactics, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and persevere now.
The mbers of Yanhuang Soul were already in position, unable to spare ti to find the sniper's whereabouts. The remaining Liu Minggong, Liu Xu's own son, was all talk, and expecting him to be a part of the battle? Impossible.
If Penghai were not injured, he would have been the one to do it. Unfortunately, he was no longer fit to continue fighting.
Long Er, who refused to listen to advice, fought stubbornly, and Shen Zuimo had to ensure the consul's safety, unable to stray too far from the mansion.
Seeing the bodyguards being picked off one by one by the sniper rifle, a hint of anxiety appeared on Shen Zuimo's face.
"Don't worry, with here, those guys won't get in."
Seeing Shen Zuimo's grim expression, Liu Minggong eagerly showed his dedication, just trying to make her know that he was determined to protect her.
For soone who had no idea what was happening, Shen Zuimo had no intention of acknowledging him.
Seeing Shen Zuimo not even talking to him, Liu Minggong thought it was because she was too shy to speak.
Downstairs, the fight with the assassins was getting closer, the nearest already within fifteen of the mansion. However, Long Er's skills were indeed impressive, and it was only through his fierce lee that they barely managed to hold back the others.
"Southeast direction, there's the sniper, about five hundred ters away. Taking out the sniper gives us a chance to win," Shen Zuimo murmured.
Originally, Long Er downstairs wanted to argue with Shen Zuimo, but seeing several brothers fall around him, he slowly began to realize the truth in Shen Zuimo's words.
No strength, no showing off, it doesn't matter if you die, but failing to protect the consul is dying in vain.
Suddenly, with no warning, the sniper's gunfire stopped after hitting six people, leaving nothing but silence.
Seeing the assassins advancing step by step, if the sniper resud fire, the bodyguards wouldn't dare to even lift their heads, left passive, but why did they stop?
"Sniper, sniper? What's going on?"
Over here, the hidden assassin leader imdiately asked about the sniper's status through the intercom, but there was no response at all.
With the gunfire stopped and no answer, it was likely the sniper had been taken out. But if it wasn't Shen Zuimo who did it, then who could it be?
As it turned out, when the assassins were about to move, Xiaofan noticed sothing was wrong and imdiately pulled Leng Yue out of the café.
Upon exiting the café, the sniper's first bullet was fired, hitting a bodyguard at the main entrance.
This shot stopped Xiaofan's steps suddenly. Turning back, he looked in the direction the bullet ca from.
"Six o'clock direction, three hundred ters."
"I'll go."
"Leng Yue..."
"Hmm."
"Be careful."
"Don't worry. Facing a sniper with low close-combat skills, I'm confident."
Leng Yue imdiately ran toward the sniper's position, and Xiaofan quickly headed to Mr. Consul's private residence.
Leng Yue's movents were indeed swift, and as she said, taking down a sniper with weak close-combat abilities was no problem for her.
Inside the mansion, the assassin leader, who had already sensed sothing was wrong, didn't order a retreat.
Looking at the house right in front of him. Just get inside, kill the target. Then they could split the money.
Who cares if they died, as the God and Demon Brothers said before, the more that died, the more there is to divide in the end.
"God and Demon Brothers, aren't you making a move?"
"Relax, keep going forward, we're already here."
The two strongest in this group of assassins finally acted.
First, their target was the tirelessly fighting Long Er. The one with the most strength would naturally be the first to be targeted.
The God and Demon brothers had road the underworld for years, even being honored as guests by multiple assassin organizations.
However, they weren't professionally trained, you could say they were self-taught. Both brothers loved killing, and after working together to kill a pedestrian for their money in childhood, they embarked on a path of no return.
Self-taught, they figured out a way to kill targets quickly.
Unlike Shen Zuimo, they didn't have professional guidance; they acted on impulse. Instead of one strike kills, they preferred to torture their targets cut after cut.
'Whoosh.'
A cold wind swept by, and Long Er felt a chill behind him. Without turning around, he jumped right. But who knew, after dodging the first ambush, the second strike was suddenly in front of him.
Their coordination was perfect to an art, another cold gleam.
A long cut opened on Long Er's shoulder.
"Bastard."
Originally thinking the sniper's pause was a chance to counterattack, who knew the sudden appearance of two such powerful individuals.
'Whoosh.'
'Whoosh'
'Whoosh.'
The brothers' sharp blades would occasionally slash through Long Er's clothes, revealing clear blood streaks.
"Stay here and protect Mr. Consul." seeing this, Shen Zuimo couldn't take it anymore. If she didn't save him, he'd die.
"Hey, Miss Shen, it's dangerous down there." Liu Minggong quickly said.
"Stay put." With a loud shout, Shen Zuimo leaped off the second-floor balcony.
If it were before, Shen Zuimo wouldn't have gone down to save soone herself. If he died, so be it, Long Er deserved it. But now, she slowly started to understand the importance of a life.
A person's life isn't just their own. Like that guy, if he died, many hearts would die with him.
At the sa ti, outside this tense battle, the assassin leader quietly approached the building without anyone noticing. Step by step, he climbed to the third floor, where Mr. Consul was located.
His plan must have been successful for him to get here. Of course, if Shen Zuimo hadn't gone to save Long Er, she would have found the intruder.
In the room, Mr. Consul was naturally wide awake, with two bodyguards close by, not leaving his side.
'Crash.'
The glass suddenly shattered, and the assassin leader leaped in.
"Hahaha, I'm taking this closure for myself."
"Protect Mr. Consul."
"Hmph. You think you can stop ?" the assassin leader stepped forward, landing heavy punches on the two bodyguards who were reaching for their guns.
The two bodyguards fell instantly. The assassin leader then pulled out a pistol, aiming it at Mr. Consul.
"Goodbye..."
Outside the window, a gust of cold wind rushed in. This eerie scene made the assassin leader slowly turn his head.
'Thud. Clink.'
Sothing fell to the ground? A gun? How did it drop? Wait, why did his hand drop to the ground too, what, what happened?
