Chapter 536: Appeared
“Ahhh…”
Sarah was lying on the ground and screaming in pain. The party of men hovering around her obviously intended to kill her. They wore military boots with soles lined with steel platings, and the kick she received to her body was unbearably painful. Blood was trickling down her mouth and nose after she had taken more than a dozen kicks. Suddenly, a man stepped toward her and ground his boot into her right palm, like he was stepping on a cigarette b.u.t.t.
The pain was excruciating, and her cries and moans sounded like she was on the verge of death.
These men were as cruel as a demon!
Sarah was severely tortured and had lost all hope. These a.s.sa.s.sins from the Khun Sa Mercenary Corps were even crueler than the Libyan Black Army. These men were nothing but bloodthirsty beasts.
“Hear me! You one last chance–hand over the SD card, or else!”
The man who had his boot on her right hand bent over and grabbed her by the hair. He pulled her up and lifted her chin. He glared at her with a menacing and fierce look on his face. “I’ll repeat once more, this is your last chance!” he growled.
“I-I’ve hidden… I’ve hidden it somewhere else…” Sarah said as she shed tears of pain and looked at the man with fear in her eyes.
“Lead us there!”
The man shouted, letting go of her hair and finally taking his foot off her hand.
Sarah trembled from the shock and slowly got up. Her right hand was shaking uncontrollably, and her entire body was bruised and aching in excruciating pain. She carefully nervously at the man–he was definitely the reincarnation of a cruel murderer.
“You better not even think about trying anything funny, or I’ll finish you off with one shot!”
The man pulled out his pistol and pointed it at the back of Sarah’s head as a warning.
Through the layers of hair, Sarah could still feel the cold muzzle of the pistol. She closed her eyes, and her face went numb–she couldn’t help feeling like she was being abandoned by G.o.d.
“Woof, woof, woof…” a colossal wolfdog barked aggressively.
The man that was threatening Sarah with the pistol became annoyed and glared at his partner. “Terrifying Wolf, can you make him shut the h.e.l.l up?” he scowled.
The dog-handler who was given the moniker “Terrifying Wolf,” raised his eyebrows in mock surprise and had a wry smile on his face. “There’s nothing I can do. He can feel your anger, and that’s why he’s getting all worked up. I won’t be able to calm him down no matter what I do,” he replied.
The man with the pistol had a nasty temper, and without wasting any more time, he turned toward the huge wolfdog and shouted, “You shut up now! Bark again, and I’ll beat you up!”
The huge wolfdog stopped barking all of a sudden. Perhaps it had been frightened by his angry voice and that fierce-looking face. It started whining like a little child that had done something wrong.
“There, you see, a b*stard is a b*stard, you just can’t be nice to them, hahaha…”
The man with the gun found his own vile joke very amusing and couldn’t stop himself from laughing.
But at that moment, there was a sudden change.
A bullet flew in and pierced right through the head of the man holding onto the pistol. The laughter stopped abruptly, and his body fell right onto the ground. His eyes were still wide open, looking like he was unable to die in peace. There was a neat bullet hole in the middle of his forehead between the eyebrows.
Sarah was so scared that she hurriedly got down and sat back on the floor. Her eyes were wide open as she stared at the corpse in front of her, unable to believe what had just happened. Sarah was a war reporter and had sufficient knowledge and experience to know what had just happened. As soon as she saw the hole between the man’s eyebrows, she knew that he had been shot by a sniper. That would also mean that there was a sniper lurking nearby.
Who was it?
Was it the SEAL team that grandpa sent?
Although still in shock, she immediately knew what she had to do. The killing of one of her captors meant that there was the hope of her getting through this. It was like seeing the light at the end of a dark tunnel.
“WOOF, WOOF, WOOF!”
The huge wolfdog began barking again, while the man known as Terrifying Wolf threw himself to the side and was already hiding behind a wall.
“Poisonous Frog! Poisonous Frog…”
He tried calling for his partner, but his partner was no longer replying to him. The huge wolfdog could sense that an enemy was nearby now and continued barking incessantly.
THUD!
The man hardly heard the report of the next shot before another sniper round whizzed through the air and hit the huge wolfdog, silencing it instantly.
Blood splattered everywhere, and the large wolfdog’s head was bleeding profusely. Lying on the ground, it twitched and struggled a little before eventually coming to a stop.
“Gulp!”
Terrifying Wolf burst into a cold sweat and struggled to swallow his saliva. He took out his walkie-talkie and quickly reported on the situation here, “Terrifying Wolf to commander, Terrifying Wolf to commander. We are under enemy attack, an enemy attack! There’s a sniper hiding in the eight buildings of Huijin Plaza. Poisonous Frog is already dead, I repeat, Poisonous Frog is dead. Requesting for support, requesting for the support, now!”
[Brewer Warehouse Base]
“I see him, Boss. Mie has shown himself!”
Evil Dragon and Skeleton excitedly rushed into the warehouse one after another and shouted as they looked at Khun Sa, who was sitting on his chair, smoking a cigar and sipping some tea.
After hearing that, Khun Sa stood up from his chair. He threw the cigar that he had barely smoked to the ground and asked, “What’s his location?”
“Near the garbage dump where we found Sarah Mich.e.l.le. Poisonous Frog is already dead, and Terrifying Wolf is still there,” Evil Dragon replied.
They didn’t even feel a little bit sad about the death of one of their compatriots. To the a.s.sa.s.sins who were used to tasting blood on the blade of a sharp knife, they were already used to seeing men die, and death to them was nothing out of the ordinary.
“Very good, all of you head out! Get to the scene as quick as you can!”
Khun Sa clenched his fist tightly. He hated Xiao Luo to the very core. If it wasn’t because of Xiao Luo, his position in the company wouldn’t have plummeted, and he wouldn’t have to personally bring his team to Libya to carry out their mission, exchanging the territory rights to an island to recuperate and expand his powers once again.
“Understood.”
Evil Dragon and Skeleton straightened their backs and gave a firm reply.
…
Beside Huijin Plaza was a heap of rubble, and rancid, dirty things were strewn all over the place, and attracting a swarm of flies.
Terrifying Wolf did not have the guts to show his head. He was very sure of one thing from the deaths of Poisonous Frog and the huge wolfdog–and that was the fact that this sniper was very accurate. He was afraid that if he showed his head for even a second, a bullet would rip right through him.
Was the other party Mie, the one who killed Red Scorpion and Cobra?
Terrifying Wolf was really scared, and cold sweat poured profusely down his face like a waterfall. He had already heard of Xiao Luo and that he was an old enemy of their boss. Though the two mercenaries that they sent might not be as strong as them, still, to be able to annihilate two of them all by himself meant that that person was more than qualified to put the fear of G.o.d into his soul.
“Hey, is it comfortable hiding here?”
All of a sudden, a voice with an American accent could be heard coming from behind him.
Terrifying Wolf was in shock and disbelief!
He froze in fear, knowing that this voice definitely did not belong to anyone in their mercenary group, and that could only mean one thing–it was Mie.
But wasn’t Mie inside the building out there in front of him?
He had paid close attention to the exit and never noticed anyone coming out of that building. How did Mie get out, and how did he get behind him without making a sound?
Right at this instant, there was a whole lot of questions inside Terrifying Wolf’s head. But constantly living on the edge of death, he reacted quickly. He quickly drew out his gun and was about to turn around when he realized that he couldn’t even complete the first action– because as he moved his hand to his waist, the pistol that was supposed to be holstered was missing. When he looked after turning around, a black muzzle was already pointing at him, aimed in between his eyebrows.
It is the very same M1911 automatic pistol that belonged to him!
