Chapter 1073: The Boogeyman’s Ma.s.sacre
An hour later, Luke walked out of the side door of the main building and entered the neatly manicured lawn.
The lawn was filled with guests.
Some of them walked back and forth, looking for an opportunity to network. Some gathered around to chat loudly, while others hid in the corners and whispered.
Luke stopped at the fountain in the center of the lawn.
Ca.s.sian approached from not far away, his eyes flas.h.i.+ng with antic.i.p.ation. “John?” he called out.
Luke tilted his head. “Ca.s.sian?”
Ca.s.sian: “Long time no see. What are you doing here?”
Luke said, “…I’m working.”
Many people around them heard their conversation.
As Gianna’s personal guard and trusted aide, Ca.s.sian was the center of attention.
Hearing his conversation with Luke, many people were curious.
Social cla.s.s didn’t make a difference when it came to the art of spectating. The most important thing was — it had nothing to do with them.
But the next moment, these people regretted it.
Ca.s.sian’s expression changed drastically. “Are you here to kill Gianna?”
The people who were talking quietly suddenly stopped. The people who were watching also stopped breathing and their hearts skipped a beat.
Kill… Gianna?
Which Gianna? Could it be that Gianna?
Seeing Ca.s.sian’s face turn even darker, the onlookers had a bad feeling.
Before they could react, Luke and Ca.s.sian, who were five meters apart, moved simultaneously.
The two of them reached for their guns almost at the same time.
The difference was that Ca.s.sian’s gun was in his holster, while Luke’s was under his armpit.
Ca.s.sian’s hand was closer to the holster and he was in a more convenient pose, so he should have been faster.
However, the two of them pulled out their guns at almost the same time.
Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!
A series of gunshots rang out. They were both hit simultaneously at close-range at the same time, and their bodies jerked as they stumbled backward.
Both of them looked extremely pained.
Ca.s.sian snarled, “It’s an a.s.sa.s.sin. Kill him.”
The four guards who were patrolling nearby lunged without hesitation. At the same time, they took out their guns.
Luke rolled over the ground with great difficulty and ran away.
Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!
Bullets chased after him but didn’t hit him.
The crowd finally regained their senses and scattered.
Luke disappeared into the crowd.
Ca.s.sian, who had just gotten up from the ground, saw this scene and cursed in his heart. F*ck! This guy was still so strong!
Initially, he wanted to use this opportunity to test the skills of the Boogeyman who had been retired for more than four years.
Only now did he realize that even though this was just a show, the other party was still very strong.
The fact that John had drawn the gun from under his arm and still matched Ca.s.sian’s speed was proof enough.
As the thoughts raced through his mind, Ca.s.sian also got up. As he ran toward the main building, he shouted into his comms, “The a.s.sa.s.sin is heading in a southwest direction. It’s very likely he wants to escape through the catacombs. Lucio, Frenan, take Team 4 and Team 5, and go and kill this d.a.m.ned guy. All other teams, pull back and protect the main building so that he can’t hide and double back.”
At that moment, the lawn was in a state of chaos. Guests were running in all directions to hide and there were occasional gunshots.
Among the hundreds of guests, seven or eight men had their heads split open, and had died on the spot.
Even though these people had bodyguards around them, they still couldn’t escape death.
The deaths of these people caused even greater chaos.
“Vittorio is dead…”
“Quesipe is dead…”
“Alessio is also dead…”
At the same time, Ca.s.sian, who had run to the bedroom in the main building, opened the door. Looking at the large pool of blood on the pillow and Gianna, he roared, “Gianna~”
The two Camorra leaders who had followed him could see that under Gianna’s long hair, there seemed to be a hole in her forehead.
They looked at each other in shock.
Ca.s.sian, however, seemed to come back to his senses, and he slammed the bedroom door shut on them.
Inside the room, Ca.s.sian’s expression changed.
Gianna, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes and said, “Your acting needs more work, Ca.s.sian.”
Ca.s.sian smiled wryly. “I’m an a.s.sa.s.sin, a bodyguard, and one of your men. The one thing I’m not is an actor.”
Gianna curled her lip. “All right, it’s been hard on you. How are things outside?”
Ca.s.sian: “Don’t move. Someone might want to see your ‘body’ later. You can only get up after you’ve been sent to the private hospital to be ‘saved’.”
Gianna harrumphed lightly but didn’t move. “How many of those old fellows died?”
Ca.s.sian pulled out his phone and looked at it. “Vittorio, Quesipe, Alessio… eight dead.”
Gianna blinked and smiled. “Indeed, the man I like is so strong…”
Ca.s.sian smiled wryly. “This isn’t the time to think about that, is it, young miss?”
Gianna, on the other hand, didn’t seem to have heard him. “Ah, my little Boogeyman has finally started a ma.s.sacre for me…”
Ca.s.sian put a hand to his forehead.
At that moment, he could only be glad that he preferred a shaved head. Otherwise, he would definitely be losing even more hair.
However, he was secretly shocked.
The person from a few years ago had just been a very capable super hitman.
But this person had started to use his brain. His methods were even more ruthless now.
Boogeyman John was becoming more and more terrifying!
It was a pity that this young miss of his seemed to be even more obsessed with John’s “charisma,” and was unable to extricate herself from it! Ca.s.sian looked at Gianna, who was murmuring lightly as she lay on the bed with a faraway look in her eyes, and felt extremely helpless.
In the bedroom of the main building, master and servant waited leisurely and played dead.
In the catacombs, a fierce battle had already begun.
More than sixty guards of the Camorra family had chased Luke into the catacombs and successfully stopped him.
The battle entered the most intense state the moment the two sides came into contact.
Of course, it was a one-sided destruction of the Camorras.
As soon as Luke entered the catacombs, he found his backpack and hid at a fork in the path.
There was the sound of footsteps approaching rapidly, and the bright beams from flashlights swept around.
In the face of an emergency, the pursuing Camorra guards were still able to maintain their formation and basic cover as they advanced. Their tactics and combat skills were quite good, and they could be considered elites.
Luke stood silently in the shadows, allowing the two flashlight beams to sweep past him.
Using Elementary a.s.sa.s.sination + Elementary Concealment, he could easily find the spot most easily overlooked or which couldn’t be scanned quickly, thus enabling him to find perfect cover.
