246: Chapter 246 The Last Moments

Inside a luxury suite, Dong Cang of Black Kite was accompanying an anxious-looking Liu Yuan.

Su Nange and Qiu Shou had been gone for so long, yet there was still no news.

Just then, the door opened, and Su Nange walked in, supporting Qiu Shou.

In truth, Qiu Shou's movement wasn't restricted, but Su Nange insisted on using both hands to wrap around her arms.

Qiu Shou felt somewhat speechless, unsure if Su Nange was truly concerned or if he had some ulterior motive.

Could Young Master Su even be trying to take advantage of me? What a pervert!

However, Qiu Shou's current appearance prevented Liu Yuan and Dong Cang from suspecting a thing.

Instead, both women immediately rushed forward.

The Eldest Miss asked, "Qiu, what happened? How did you get injured so badly!?"

"Did you get into a fight with them?"

Qiu Shou replied, "Thank you for your concern, Eldest Miss. I'm actually fine; I just got scratched by some glass."

Su Nange took the initiative to admit his mistake: "It's all my fault. I didn't expect the opposition to be so far from simple. They aren't just ordinary assassins."

Dong Cang came over to support her sister: "Eldest Miss, I'll go apply some medicine for her."

Liu Yuan treated all four of her personal bodyguards very well and was truly worried: "Go on then, let Qiu get some good rest."

However, when she turned back, she gave Su Nange a sharp rap on the head.

"Still looking!? Aren't you getting more and more out of line lately!"

Su Nange said, "I was just showing concern. After all, she was injured because of me."

Liu Yuan asked, "What exactly happened? Those damn police actually let you carry out such a dangerous mission. See if I don't give them trouble."

"Forget it, my dear wife. The public security bureau didn't know their background either. Besides, I was the one who changed the plan this time, wanting to catch them directly."

"Sigh, I wasn't cautious enough. I'll be more careful next time."

Meanwhile, Death Knell dragged Demon Dog back to their room. His face was filled with murderous intent, forcing Demon Dog to lower his head, not daring to utter a single word of complaint.

"How many times do I have to tell you? Do you not realize you're on a mission?"

"If I hadn't gone out to find you tonight! How would we have explained ourselves to the boss? Do you think Lucifer would let you off?"

Demon Dog felt a genuine sense of lingering fear this time. He had thought that as No. 13, teamed up with a group of the world's top experts, he could act with impunity.

But there is always a higher heaven and someone more capable. He hadn't expected to encounter a top-tier expert like Su Nange on his first mission.

Could Chinese Kung Fu really be that miraculous? He truly couldn't see through any of his opponent's moves today.

Demon Dog also quickly admitted his error: "Brother, thank you for saving me. I'll definitely listen to you from now on."

Death Knell sighed, "It seems we can't stay here anymore. We have to find a way to change locations."

"Otherwise, the Huaxia police will try every means to infiltrate. We'll be exposed sooner or later."

But Death Knell also voiced a rare complaint: "Sigh, we've been in position for so long, why hasn't the boss issued instructions yet?"

The other squads of Asgard Pact had the same question as Death Knell.

However, they weren't as tense as Death Knell. Instead, they were taking advantage of the silence period to enjoy a few more days of normal life.

Especially the Thorn Crimson Death group; the squad leader, Blood Rose, even took Poison Kiss to watch a fashion week.

Girls, whether they were assassins or ordinary people, still loved beauty—especially two stunning beauties.

They had bought many clothes these past few days, either strolling down the Avenue des Champs-Élysées or drinking coffee by the Banks of the Seine.

They both wanted to see more of this beauty; after all, who knew how many years it would be before they could see such scenery again.

Unlike the women's leisurely time, Judgment was a rigid person.

His plans had to be executed exactly on time; every second of delay was a form of torment for his rigorous nature.

It was precisely he who was the first to lose patience, proactively asking Lucifer what exactly had happened.

Meanwhile, Lucifer remained in Kyoto, waiting for news from Dr. Noah.

Dr. Noah had been back in the USA for a week and should have returned by now.

But Dr. Noah had truly run into trouble this time.

It could even be said that the entire USA federal government had run into trouble.

Due to a large-scale outbreak of mutants in Hazelwood Valley, those soldiers who hadn't rested for long were urgently deployed there again.

Along with Dr. Noah, they all went to the front lines.

However, this crisis was even more troublesome than the monkeys in Jinzhou City.

A small town plus several villages—nearly ten thousand people were infected.

It was like a living hell; even with the soldiers' machine guns firing continuously, they couldn't withstand the mutants' rampaging charges.

If the soldiers were infected as well, the number of mutants would continue to increase.

Should they continue to use missiles? No, these villages were too scattered. If they made another big scene, it would be impossible to keep it from the people.

Thus, the President ordered the suspension of all non-essential flights and transportation in the surrounding cities.

All security checkpoints had to be strengthened.

Inside a military tent, Dr. Noah appeared anxious on the surface, being blamed daily by the army for creating this Doomsday Serum.

But Dr. Noah didn't care. Heh, so even before Lucifer and the others detonated anything, this place was already failing?

However, this was also good; he could take this opportunity to properly develop a means to eliminate the mutants.

As long as the world fell into chaos, he could become the creator of a new order.

He used an encrypted satellite phone to send an instruction to Lucifer.

"Don't be in a hurry for now; it has already begun to spread in the United States. Wait for my command; I will notify you when the time is ripe."

Lucifer looked at the string of encrypted code and issued the latest instructions to each squad.

"Maintain total silence. Enjoy the last beautiful moments before the wasteland."

But this caused distress for Death Knell. Because of his pig-like teammate Demon Dog, who couldn't keep his junk in his pants.

They were now being watched in Shanghai, Huaxia.

Yet Death Knell didn't know if he should report it.

Otherwise, wouldn't that be telling the other squads how incompetent he was?

He truly wished he could just kill his teammate right now. Perhaps he could complete the mission better alone.

But since it had already happened, he could only accept reality and find another way to get through this period of silence.

During the night, Su Nange spoke with Qin Jiazheng on the phone.

Director Qin hadn't expected things to be so serious, with two such powerful experts appearing in Shanghai.

If this crisis wasn't eliminated, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But under the cover of night, Death Knell and Demon Dog actually used the same evacuation method as Su Nange, descending the building with their bare hands.

They avoided the plainclothes police guarding the main entrance of the building and vanished into the night.

The next day, Su Nange still went to find Saionji Sawa.

He was very direct: "Miss Sawa, I want to ask, do you know the background of those two assassins in your building?"

Saionji Sawa smiled slightly: "Is Mr. Su questioning whether I am harboring criminals?"

She was currently eating breakfast, and Su Nange felt his interruption was somewhat impolite.

"No, Miss Sawa misunderstood. Since you didn't intervene last night, I already know your stance. So, I'm simply asking."

Saionji Sawa signaled her subordinates to clear the table, then invited Su Nange to sit on a nearby sofa.

She sat opposite Su Nange in a pure white long dress, legs crossed, even her high heels were porcelain white, appearing so elegant and pure.

She was the same type of great beauty as Liu Yuan; no matter how Su Nange looked at her, he felt it was a bit strange.

Saionji Sawa said calmly: "I don't know the background of those two assassins either. It wasn't my intention for them to stay in this building."

"So, I should actually thank Mr. Su for chasing them away."

Su Nange was surprised: "What? They've already run away?"

Saionji Sawa nodded: "They left by rappelling down with their bare hands early this morning. Mr. Su, don't go suspecting that I let them go."

Su Nange didn't know if the woman's words were true or false. He had no evidence in hand, so he couldn't easily accuse her.

Saionji Sawa brought up last night's topic in passing: "Has Mr. Su thought it over after a night? Do you want to join me in getting the Shangguan Family's things?"
