FULL NOVELXO Chapter 2991 We Were Hired by Zedbar
Under the volley of gunfire, the mercenaries stared in disbelief at the figure in the distance. Despite them having emptied their magazines, the figure was still quietly standing in place not far away.
Could we be hallucinating?
One of the mercenaries, with a nervous expression, switched on his bright flashlight.
What they witnessed before them instantly scared them out of their wits.
A young Easterner was staring at them with a frosty expression, yet he had a menacing smile on his lips. Moreover, he was holding Bells' large head in his hand!
Just moments ago, Bells had been pulling Leanna's hair in a similar manner.
The mercenaries looked at one another, each catching the fear and astonishment in the eyes of the others.
Did our deputy commander die just like that?
Meanwhile, the figure suddenly moved.
Having just reloaded their guns, the mercenaries swiftly raised their guns and fired. However, try as they might, their shots missed the mark. The opponent moved like a phantom, effortlessly dodging every bullet. Seeing that the guns couldn't hurt the figure much, the mercenaries contemplated retreating toward the SUV.
However, it was evidently too late.
The mercenaries couldn't discern how the figure attacked. With each chilling flash, heads rolled at the forefront of their ranks, leaving them only glimpses of a fleeting figure.
Seeing the comrades around them being decapitated one by one, the remaining mercenaries were consumed by terror.
"Run! This ain't human!"
"Run for your lives!"
After a flurry of cries, the remaining mercenaries dropped their rifles and fled toward their vehicles in a panic.
The burly man running in front gripped the car door and quickly slipped into the driver's seat. Just when he breathed an inward sigh of relief, a chilly voice suddenly rang from the back seat. "Who hired you guys?"
Hearing the voice, the burly man
froze instantly, feeling a tingling sensation creeping into his extremities, his heart pounding.
Glancing in the rearview mirroronet
the murderous young man, he instinctively swallowed hard If I tell you, will you spare me?" he asked, beads of cold sweat dripping down his forehead uncontrollably.
"Do you think you have the right to negotiate?"
With that, the burly man felt a chill creeping down his neck.
"No, no, I'll talk! We were hired by Zedbar, the son of Montiria's Minister of Border Affairs! He offered 2 billion for the heads of those around you. So, not just
teams are also eyeing you." In the life threatening situation, the burly man threw secrecy to the wind, spilling the beans on everything. "Sir, w-we were just in it for the money-"
mercenaries, but assassination net
Before he could finish his speech, the chill against his neck vanished.
"Phew! That was close!" Breathing a sigh of relief, he immediately floored the gas pedal, and the SUV shot forward like an arrow released from its bow.
However, just as the vehicle was about to disappear from view, it suddenly split in two.
Matthew glanced coldly at the fire caused by the vehicle explosion in the distance, his mood darkening.
According to the burly man, there
was an endless stream of
mercenaries and assassination teams gearing up to harm those around him, all for the sake of that 2 billion As Lucius put it, no matter how formidable he was, he was outnumbered and powerless when faced with those vicious thugs attacking from all sides.
"Zedbar, huh? This is far from over!" he muttered to himself before putting Bloodreaper back in its sheath.
After carrying the unconscious Leanna into the car, he found Kasen and Ezra. Both of them looked slightly battered, but luckily, they were not severely injured.
After he administered hemostatic medicine and blood-replenishing pills to the pair, Fitz and his men also arrived at the scene.
"Mr. Larson, where are they? I'll take care of them!" Fitz leaped out of the car with two rifles in hand.
The crown prince rolled his eyes and pointed at their surroundings. "Well, well, you came just in time. You guys handle the cleanup!" With that, the injured four were brought back to the villa by Matthew.
