Chapter 264: [215] Act less cocky in front of your old man (seeking monthly votes, recommendations, and support)_1
“Chaotically!”
Up in the attic, a man with a smoking pipe in his mouth instantly realized he’d been exposed. Cursing under his breath, he immediately took cover behind a door and window and pressed the communicator.
“The gunman has been killed by me, but I’ve been exposed now, too. Where the hell did you get these fierce people from? Their insight is too damn sharp!”
Just as the smoking man finished speaking, a sudden “bang” rang out from the street below.
“Ah,” the smoking man screamed, clutching his left eye as blood spurted out between his fingers.
Who could have imagined that this shot would shatter the wood next to the window, and that during the chaotic spread of countless splinters, one just happened to pierce through his left eye?
The smoking man’s pipe fell to the ground as he staggered away quickly, enduring the severe pain and pressed the communicator with a blood-soaked palm.
“I’m injured, quickly arrange for someone to rescue me.”
…
On the street.
Gu Wutong had just jumped down from the second floor when he saw Pei Jinye holding a sniper rifle. As the trigger was pulled, he could clearly see that the shot went embarrassingly awry.
A shot struck a wall seventy meters away, scattering sparks.
Gu Wutong didn’t know the smoking man’s situation; he just thought Pei Jinye was shooting in anger, making his aim incredibly unstable. He quickly shouted, “Old Pei, don’t be impulsive, I’ve contacted the Investigation Team!”
Pei Jinye didn’t look back, but his voice quickly carried over.
“You don’t need to follow, they’ve got guns.”
Gu Wutong came to an abrupt halt.
Damn…
He turned back and went to his own guild house.
Soon, he was striding over, wearing golden armor.
…
Pei Jinye rushed forward.
The strange talent for sniping had been proven just last night; he wasn’t afraid of exposing anything else.
He decided to follow this path all the way to the end.
He worked the bolt, raised the gun.
As the trigger was pulled.
“Bang,” a sound came out.
A burst of fire shot out from the gun barrel.
The bullet flew out instantly.
“Ting tang,” a sound echoed.
A steel plate in the distance was hit, the bullet ricocheting in the narrow corridor like a marble, the smoking man yelping and leaping to dodge…
Suddenly, with a muffled grunt, he clutched his left buttock and dove headfirst into a trash can.
“Damn it! That’s too insulting!”
The smoking man’s face was filled with shock and anger, both palms soaked with his own blood.
Today, when he set out to carry out his task, he never imagined things would become this complicated or that the opposing side would be so brutal.
Quickly, he pressed the communicator.
“Where are you guys? Am I going to be killed already?”
“Ten seconds away, hold on.”
“Ten seconds…” the smoking man’s face turned dark.
He attempted to fire back.
The result: as soon as the sniper rifle poked out, a gunshot came from the opposite side, hitting the smoking man’s gun and almost knocking it from his grasp with the sheer force.
Pei Jinye worked the bolt again as he charged forward.
While he was loading, the smoking man quickly got up, clutching his left side as he continued to sprint.
Around the corner.
Three hover cars were approaching.
The smoking man’s face showed a flash of joy.
“Here! I’m over here!”
“Bang,” a sound.
A bullet whizzed by his ear, leaving a trail of blood and striking the headlight of the second hover car… destroying the engine.
The next second.
The smoking man watched in horror as the hover car, like a horse that had thrown its reins, crashed into the first one and came barreling towards him.
“Damn it!”
The smoking man hopped and skipped to the side alley to dodge.
But suddenly, a hand clamped onto his shoulder.
“Running? Where do you think you’re running to!”
The smoking man’s face turned pale with shock, and a dagger suddenly appeared from his sleeve, stabbing towards Pei Jinye’s arm.
But he vastly underestimated Pei Jinye’s close-combat abilities.
With a “snap,” the sound of an arm breaking echoed, the smoking man’s dagger clattered to the ground, and his throat unleashed a horrific scream.
But the next second, it was drowned out by the noise of the crashing hover car.
Pei Jinye grabbed the smoking man and rushed into the corner.
Before the smoking man could make sense of his actions, something cold seemed to hit his ear…
The next second, endless darkness enveloped and devoured him.
Memories surged into Pei Jinye’s mind.
…
“I voluntarily join the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group… swear to uphold the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group’s honor unto death…”
…
“Captain, another order?”
…
“Don’t worry, my aim is very accurate. I guarantee the mission will be completed…”
…
Pei Jinye slowly opened his eyes.
Someone had hired a killer to take him down.
Who could it be?
His brain, as powerful as a computer, raced furiously.
The only identity that could bring about his demise was… the sole identity of being a member of the Investigation Team.
Ignoring the corpse of the man with the smoking gun, Pei Jinye yanked off the other party’s communicator.
The battle began up ahead.
Pei Jinye also received a call from Gu Wutong. He calmly said, “Leave these people to you, I’ll be right back.”
Gu Wutong was shocked, “Brother, where are you heading? Rushing into danger alone? Don’t be rash.”
However, Pei Jinye had already hung up the phone, quickly launching an attack before the other party realized he was counterattacking.
Da Peng City was his home turf.
Relying on the memories of the man with the smoking gun, Pei Jinye swiftly rushed over.
Within the quaint and aromatic courtyard at 102 Haizhi Road, it was eerily quiet at the moment.
Pei Jinye didn’t wait to walk in.
The door of the house opened.
A middle-aged man in a red suit slowly emerged, standing two meters tall with a broad, muscular build that seemed to burst with energy, the sunlight flashed across his frameless glasses as it passed over his face.
“Mr. Pei, Ah Hai is already dead, we hope this matter can end here,” the man said.
Pei Jinye stood his ground, “Your Wild Wolf’s sense of smell is indeed very keen.”
The man in the suit heaved a sigh of resignation, “Our mission was not to snipe you, but to target that sniper. In a way, we are not enemies.”
“Tell me who the other party is,” Pei Jinye demanded coldly.
“Sorry…”
As soon as the words were spoken,
Pei Jinye had already rushed forward.
“I don’t want to hear sorry!”
A fierce punch brushed the man’s hair, he raised his arm to block Pei Jinye’s blow, but nonetheless, he was forced to step backward.
He looked up slightly, seemingly surprised.
“We actually don’t know either. It has always been them reaching out to us,” the man said gravely, “The old man said, we have no intention of being enemies with you officials.”
As soon as the words were spoken,
Pei Jinye’s fist came crashing down again.
The man’s eyes narrowed; his fist the size of a baby’s head raised to block, he said sternly, “Mr. Pei.”
As soon as the words were spoken,
he was sent flying into the courtyard.
Pei Jinye strode forward, “Nobody who gets punched by me has the right to keep shouting! I don’t care what role you Wild Wolves are playing here, but now, get the hell out of Da Peng City.”
Blood appeared at the corner of the man’s mouth; he wiped it away calmly and carefully put away his glasses, as if tearing off some kind of seal, and his aura began to rise steadily.
“You are strong, but not strong enough to make me submit… I don’t mind fighting you to show you what true power is!”
He tore off his red suit, revealing the strong muscles beneath that made it clear just how formidable his physique was.
In front of him, Pei Jinye now appeared frail as easily manipulated clay.
Yet under such stark contrast,
Pei Jinye calmly walked step by step.
His tone was even,
“Is that so?”
The two words hit the ground like a thunderclap, and almost simultaneously, as they had yet to dissipate, Pei Jinye and the shirtless man in the suit both struck.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Both figures entangled at breakneck speed, kicking up dust and turmoil in the courtyard under the immense pressure of their clash.
“You…” The man in the suit hadn’t finished his sentence.
The next second, Pei Jinye, moving with six times his normal strength, threw a formidable punch, fast as lightning, with air blazing with intense heat as it zoomed past.
The shattered strands of the man’s hair were whipped up by the gale force.
He was completely unable to finish his sentence when the full force of the punch sent him flying.
“Bang!”
He crashed into the house behind him, breaking through and creating a long pathway within, as thick smoke poured out of the hole.
Coughs were heard from inside.
As the man looked at the blood in his palm, somewhat surprised, “You actually managed to penetrate my defense.”
Pei Jinye, expressionless, was about to rush over for another punch, when suddenly,
a sound of a scepter hitting the ground echoed by his ear, and instantly Pei Jinye’s figure stiffened in place.
A voice of a somewhat scholarly middle-aged man came,
“Young man, where ‘forgiving’ is possible, it is best to ‘forgive’. Our man has been killed by you; How about we call an end to this?”
King of the Green Wolf!
Pei Jinye’s heart sank.
Having devoured the memories of the man with the smoking gun, he was very clear about the strength of the four kings of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group—they were all long-established powerhouses.
He was somewhat taken aback; the King of the Green Wolf was actually in Da Peng City.
“Does the senior think I’m without backup?”
The other party was not surprised, nor was he angered by this; his voice only reached Pei Jinye,
“Murder is our business, and we never meant to target you from the beginning. Otherwise, if I had taken action myself, you would not have stood a chance at survival. I can tell you… the one who hired us is connected to Sky God International. As for the whereabouts of the sniper they found, I do not know, nor do I care.”
“Sky God International?” Pei Jinye arched an eyebrow slightly.
“Revealing this much is already against our principles, I hope the matter can end here, after all… we may become partners in the future,” the King of the Green Wolf’s voice was always unhurried.
Pei Jinye fell silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head, “Since the senior is straightforward, so will I—I’m turning the page with you Wild Wolves on this matter.”
“That is well,”
The restraints on Pei Jinye completely disappeared, he looked up at the man in the suit emerging from the hole, “Next time, try less to show off.”
After saying that, he boldly turned around and walked away.
The man in the suit twitched his mouth, then looked towards the scholarly middle-aged man who stepped out of the room, scratching his head apologetically, “I’m sorry, Lord King of the Green Wolf, for making a fool of myself before you.”
“It’s fine,” the scholarly middle-aged man spoke softly, “Prepare to leave.”
The man in the suit looked puzzled, “We’re… just leaving like this?”
“We have no choice but to leave,” the middle-aged man’s mouth curved into a helpless smile, “Someone just sent a warning; if we don’t leave now, we might not be able to get out of Da Peng City.”
The man in the suit was at a loss.
He simply couldn’t fathom who in Da Peng City could possibly pose a threat to the King of the Green Wolf.
