Chapter 598 - Counterattack
Chapter 598: Counterattack
“Yes I can. In fact, I’m already doing this.” Cadic looked at Bach arrogantly.
Kate was in the crowd. She had dressed up as a staff member.
She knew it was risky. It was actually the riskiest moment of her life.
But she was a reporter. She knew that this might become the peak of her life.
Of course, it was only provided Chen Zhao would really appear.
Kate had set up three cameras in the area. She also had a mini spy camera on her.
As long as she could survive, she could bring the videos back. She would then become the queen of reporters.
Suddenly, there was another gunshot, which caused some disturbance again.
Bach was shot in the head and collapsed on the floor.
A lady in tight clothes was holding a small pistol.
Cadic slapped his forehead. “Kira, he hasn’t paid the ransom yet. You shouldn’t have killed him so quickly.”
“We’ve been here for too long. Let’s not exceed the schedule. We need to collect the ransoms immediately.”
“Fine, fine.” Cadic shrugged helplessly. “Now, please remain orderly and take turns to pay ten million dollars.”
Holding a POS terminal, A DK member approached a rich man. “Sir, please.”
“I… I don’t have that much money…” The rich man was clearly unwilling to pay.
But all he received was a bullet. There was no hesitation.
Cadic sighed, “Ten million less for me.”
Just then, Cadic received a message from his earpiece.
“Boss, our people seem to be decreasing in number. Richie, Anfer, Luke, and Steve haven’t responded for a while. And I’ve been hearing cat meows from the communication side.”
“Where are the people in the monitoring room?”
“Luke, Steve, and Anfer are in charge of that. We’ve lost contact with them.”
Cadic’s face darkened at once.
Something unexpected had happened.
…
The eighteenth floor—
Arthur was squatting on the floor, hugging his girlfriend. There were about a hundred people around them, all of which were guests of the hotel.
At the moment, they were locked in the meeting room. There were two people holding a machine gun each.
There were also people guarding outside the meeting room.
Just now, somebody had already attempted to resist, but he was practically shot into a beehive in less than a second.
A few innocent people were also killed because of him.
“Arthur, I’m scared.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll protect you.” Arthur was terrified himself, but he still tried to comfort his girlfriend.
Suddenly, they heard loud gunshots from outside the meeting room.
It continued for about a minute. Everyone was horrified.
Finally, the gunshots stopped…
Nobody knew what had happened.
Everyone was panicked and uneasy.
The two DK members were also rather nervous as they pointed their guns at the door.
Once they saw anything, they would fire without hesitation.
Suddenly, the meeting room door opened with a bang.
A person flew in. He was going so fast that one of the robbers by the door was hit and flung a few meters away.
The person who was thrown in was also a robber. He smashed his companion to death directly.
The other robber was badly shocked. He immediately grabbed a lady from the floor and held her before him.
“Arthur… Save me…”
Arthur was about to stand up when the robber knocked him onto the floor with his gunstock.
“Come out! Come out now!” the robber shouted. “Or I’ll shoot!”
Suddenly, someone dropped down from the vent behind the robber.
There were more than a hundred pairs of eyes staring at the figure, but nobody made a sound.
Chen Zhao approached the robber from the back and easily crushed his shoulder. Meanwhile, he pulled the hostage toward him.
“Who are you?! Do you know…” Chen Zhao grabbed the robber’s neck and hurled him at the French window in the near distance.
Crash—
“Ah…”
The robber flew outside the window. Chen Zhao patted the lady in his arms. “Miss, you’re safe.”
The lady looked at Chen Zhao in a daze. She stared at his Spider-Man mask. “Can I kiss you?”
“Sorry, no.” Chen Zhao let go of the lady. “You may leave now, but don’t go upstairs, because there’s still robbers. Go downstairs. Use the stairs. The elevators are locked out.”
Then, Chen Zhao turned around and left. Everyone stared at his back. After a brief moment of silence, they charged out too.
Meow, meow—
“Master, we have two enemies on the stairs from the 18th to the 19th floor. They have their machine guns ready.”
“Any good suggestions?”
“Garbage chute.”
Chen Zhao found the garbage chute and climbed up. Soon, he managed to get behind the two robbers at the entrance to the 19th floor.
The two robbers were fully focused on the staircase. They did not notice Chen Zhao charging toward them at all.
Chen Zhao was too fast, so fast that they could not react.
Glancing at the completely distorted corpses on the floor, Chen Zhao continued to go up.
He was about to reach the top floor…
…
“Miss, it’s your turn.” A robber approached Kate and extended the POS terminal.
“It’s clear that I’m a staff member here. I don’t have ten million,” Kate said calmly.
The robber had already lifted his gun when Kate quickly added, “Don’t you need a hostage? I won’t resist.”
“She’s right. Keep her alive. She’s small and will make a suitable hostage,” Cadic said.
Kate heaved a sigh of relief. Just when she thought that she would be spared, Cadic suddenly shouted, “Wait, how do you know that we have a problem?!”
Shit! Kate screamed in her mind. Cadic’s gun was already pointed at her.
Suddenly, a loud gunshot was heard from the outside.
It was accompanied by a cry of misery.
Then, everything went quiet.
It was complete silence! There was no sound at all.
In the auction hall, a dozen robbers pointed their guns at the door.
Cadic’s face darkened as he turned around and left.
Anyway, he had already taken the auction items. The ransoms from the rich people were merely pocket money.
Cadic looked at the box before him which was filled with the auction items. Suddenly, a low sound was heard from within the box.
Then, an intense aroma of wine began to permeate the air.
The two robbers beside him started to wipe their tears. Cadic was utterly confused. “What’s wrong?”
“Dunno… I just recalled a sad memory. That bitch Ella! I have to f**k her to death when I get back!”
