Chapter 1089: Fear
When Scorpion saw Nangong Nuannuan raise her gun at him without another word, he was frightened out of his wits. He quickly swerved to the other side again.
However, it was only a feint by Nuannuan. The moment the car swerved to the side, the fuel tank was exposed to Nuannuan.
To tell the truth, the moment he swerved to the side, Scorpion knew that he was done for.
With Queen’s ability, the moment the car swerved to the side, she would have shot his car window. However, despite swerving, the window remained intact.
Initially, Scorpion was prepared to drive the car into a crowd. Although Queen was a demoness who could kill without batting an eye, her engagement to someone who was burdened with protecting innocent bystanders like Chi Yang, she would at least be considerate toward those bystanders, right?
Furthermore, this was a school campus and one of the best educational inst.i.tutions in Camino.
Therefore, if he drove the car into the crowd, Scorpion was sure that Queen would let him go first before attempting to recapture him later to avoid creating more collateral damage.
However, what he did not expect was that as the car had just started and his gas pedal barely touched the ground, Queen managed to land two hits on the gas tank.
The first time, she smashed the lid of the fuel tank. The second time, Scorpion jumped out of the car in fear of Queen when he heard the gunshot.
Reality proved that he made the right choice.
That was because the moment he jumped out of the car, the bullet had accurately hit the gas tank.
A spark started to catch in the oil tank.
Amidst screams from the bystanders, the car exploded with a boom.
The ma.s.sive shockwave sent Scorpion flying.
The soldier from the special forces relaxed and thought that Scorpion would be severely injured even if he did not die in the explosion. However, the man who just got blown up into the air raised a machine gun and blasted a string of machinegun shots at the special forces soldier and Nuannuan.
If you were wondering why the soldier did not notice that Scorpion had a machine gun on him, that was because the gun was hidden inside the car since the beginning.
The special forces soldier’s reaction was still a beat too slow. Since he failed to antic.i.p.ate Scorpion possessing such a lethal weapon—what more expecting Scorpion to open fire at them while he was blown up—the soldier froze in shock.
“Be careful!”
When Nuannuan saw this, she quickly pounced on him and pushed him to the ground. Then, she immediately steadied herself and rolled in the opposite direction once more. Taking advantage of the brief moment when the special forces soldier was on top of her, she sent some force to her feet and kicked him into the bushes at the side.
At the same time that the soldier from the special forces was sent flying, Nuannuan’s hands were equally occupied. She fired a shot at Scorpion’s finger.
With the series of movements combined, Nuannuan saved the soldier’s life by protecting his head from getting shot. Simultaneously, Nuannuan shot Scorpion’s index finger that he used to pull the trigger.
Even if Scorpion could not feel pain, it would be inconvenient for him to shoot without his index finger.
Although Scorpion was vicious and cruel, he was terrified too!
Viper did not dare to publicize the fact that Queen was Chi Yang’s fiancée. Other KE killers did not know, but as Viper’s direct subordinate, Scorpion did.
Facing Queen in a one-on-one fight put him under the same pressure as facing King.
If not for the respect he had for Queen and leaped out of the car the moment Queen made her move, no matter how much strength he had in his body, he would have been blown into pieces then. There would be so little left of his body that it would be nigh impossible to piece anything back.
