67: Chapter 67 Four People, Four Hands
Four figures clad in black stood atop a building over a hundred meters tall.
Ling Hao had worked as a security guard here before, so it wasn't difficult for them to get up.
With their sliding ropes secured, they genuinely looked the part of special forces.
But these men, though their titles contained the word 'soldier', were engaged in deeds more vile than bandits!
Liu Yuan's mansion occupied the entire top floor, and the weakest point of its defense was directly above it.
The four devils of the night, gripping their ropes with one hand, quickly rappelled down to the level of Liu Yuan's living room.
There were massive glass windows here, and breaking in at night would cause the least commotion.
They worked with seamless coordination. Mountain Vulture, likely the team's technician, pulled a plasma cutter from his backpack.
He attached it to the living room's glass window, sparks flashing in the darkness.
Soon, a hole large enough for a person to pass through was cut out.
The four men suppressed their breathing, moving swiftly and quietly as they climbed through the window.
Their leader, Brown Bear, took point.
At his signal, they crouched low, flicking the safeties off their weapons, transforming them into genuine instruments of death.
Su Nange lay on the comfortable bed, still awake.
Though his gaze was fixed on the ceiling, he could sense the tension in the beauty beside him.
One of his arms remained tightly wrapped in her embrace.
Su Nange found the sensation incredibly soft, akin to the first time he'd slept on such a plush bed.
But he knew tonight was not a time for indulgence.
A faint noise came from outside the door.
The plasma cutter, though not loud, was enough to alert anyone inside.
Feeling her tremble slightly, Su Nange whispered reassuringly, 'Don't worry. You don't just have the best bodyguards in the world. You also have me by your side.'
She finally relaxed a little, surprised that one day she, too, would rely on a man like a delicate woman.
Su Nange sat up and planted a kiss on the woman's cheek.
'Sleep well. No matter what noises you hear, don't come out.'
The woman nodded obediently.
Su Nange stood up, stretching his limbs.
His eyes were icy in the moonlight, devoid of the earlier tenderness.
Since you've chosen this path to death, I'll help you slam the gates of heaven shut for good.
Outside, the four men checked two rooms, neither of which was the master bedroom.
Fortunately, the house remained quiet.
They soon zeroed in on another door. This one surely held Miss Liu.
They advanced again, but suddenly sensed a cold glint flashing through the air!
A long blade!
Despite his bulk, Brown Bear was remarkably agile.
Faced with the ambush in the dark, he instinctively ducked.
He countered with a kick, but his opponent was equally nimble, dodging it!
However, this move completely exposed the position of the Black Kite lying in ambush in the shadows.
It was two Black Kites, clad in form-fitting black attire. Their postures were erect, faces hidden behind similarly black, patterned masks.
Even with feminine figures, they exuded an intimidating presence, appearing somewhat eerie under the moonlight.
But why were only two present today?
Ling Hao warned, 'There are four of them in total. There must be more lying in wait!'
The Black Kites, silent as machines, launched another attack.
Their long blades weaved through the air, flying with a mesmerizing, butterfly-like trajectory.
Brown Bear swung his own long rifle to parry.
The clang of metal rang out in the room.
After another exchange, the two Black Kites had moved behind the four men.
The square-faced man moved to pull the trigger.
But Brown Bear stopped him. 'They're too agile. Don't waste bullets needlessly. It'll also draw more attention.'
Yet Brown Bear also knew they couldn't afford a protracted fight.
He gave Mountain Vulture an order: 'Use that!'
Mountain Vulture nodded, pulling two flashbangs from his belt.
It seemed these guys really came prepared!
As Mountain Vulture swiftly threw them, the four invaders had already pulled down their protective goggles.
'A wave of tinnitus and a blinding light more intense than daylight followed.'
The two Black Kites had to raise their arms to shield their eyes.
Even so, they felt their hearing and vision would be impaired for a short while.
Brown Bear shouted, 'Now! Take them down!'
Ling Hao and the square-faced man immediately rushed forward, aiming to knock them out with their rifle butts.
But four more steel blades thrust from the darkness!
Ling Hao and his companion were shocked. They hadn't expected the remaining two Black Kites to appear now.
It seemed their opponents' tactical discipline was equally high, having prepared a countermove all along.
Brown Bear felt they'd truly met formidable foes tonight.
The Black Kites were indeed the elite female operatives of Huaxia, far from mere decorations.
However, with all four Black Kites revealed, Brown Bear and his men had no more reservations.
Both sides' cards were on the table now. The fight would come down to who had more and better tools.
Seeing the four women clustered together, Brown Bear immediately ordered, 'Their positioning is poor. Open fire!'
It had to be said, Brown Bear was a highly skilled Mercenary.
Two Black Kites were still recovering from the flashbang. The other two, having just rescued their comrades, stood shielding them.
Given the four Mercenaries' shooting skills, four corpses would appear in an instant.
But they had overlooked one thing. All four Mercenaries were facing the Black Kites ahead.
Their own backs were completely exposed to the unknown.
None of them noticed a tall man now standing behind them.
A dagger pressed silently against Brown Bear's neck. The slightest reckless move, and his throat would be slit like a soft hose.
'Y-you... how are you here?' Brown Bear stammered in terror.
It turned out, before bed, Su Nange had logged into GTA and grinded his stealth skill for a while.
Even if it wasn't maxed out yet, it had reached a level these Mercenaries couldn't hope to match.
So, aside from the Black Kites, no one present had any idea someone had approached from behind.
Su Nange's voice was as cold and hard as ice. 'Daring to covet my woman? You're seeking death!'
Ling Hao and the others, seeing their leader suddenly taken hostage, were utterly dumbfounded.
Seizing their moment of hesitation, the Black Kites flung their long blades!
The blades cut through the air with a low hum, aimed straight at the villains ahead.
Ling Hao and the others used their rifle butts to block!
But the other blades in the Black Kites' hands followed immediately.
Several streaks of blood flew through the air!
The four men were finished. A nighttime kidnapping attempt was completely thwarted.
The Black Kites fetched ropes and securely bound the four men.
Liu Yuan finally appeared, dressed in a long nightgown, looking exquisitely beautiful.
She paid no mind to who was present, planting a loving kiss directly on Su Nange's cheek.
Her eyes were seductive. 'I heard what you said outside earlier. So handsome! I'm so excited!'
Su Nange was speechless. 'Didn't I tell you? No matter what noises you hear, don't come out.'
'How can I collect the goods with you here?'
'Collect the goods?'
Su Nange glanced at the four Black Kite sisters.
One of the Black Kites stepped forward and respectfully escorted Liu Yuan back to the bedroom.
Su Nange smiled at the remaining three Black Kites. 'Sisters, my dagger is a bit too short. Could you lend me a long blade?'
The three exchanged glances. Then, one of them tossed her long blade to him.
Su Nange reached out, catching the hilt with flair!
Then, four agonized screams pierced the night, each from a different man.
The next morning, Song Xiaotian woke from a frustrating dream.
But his bedroom door was already being knocked on. Clearly, someone outside was anxious to see him.
Song Xiaotian stormed out in his pajamas, cursing, 'What is it? Disturbing me so early in the morning!'
A subordinate looked both nervous and fearful, stammering, 'Y-young Master... s-someone sent something over... again!'
Song Xiaotian's voice grew louder. 'Who the hell keeps sending me stuff every day!? What is it this time?'
Four men stood in a row, each holding an exquisitely wrapped gift box.
The subordinate looked helpless, but the contents really had to be shown to the young master.
So, the lids were opened.
Young Master Song saw the contents and was so terrified he fell back onto his rear.
Inside the four boxes were four different human hands.
Even someone as foolish as Song Xiaotian knew exactly whose bodies those four bloody, severed hands had been taken from.
