61: Chapter 61 Hunting Gods and Slaying Evil
Seeing Liu Zijun enter with a gun!
The four personal bodyguards by his side reacted instantly, immediately shielding Lee Ryuk-hee and aiming their guns at Liu Zijun, firing directly.
These four were all retired Special Forces members with steady aim, clearly having undergone professional training.
Lee Ryuk-hee maintained his arrogant demeanor, merely frowning slightly. After seeing the silver mask on Liu Zijun's face, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes, which quickly turned into anger.
"Who are you? To dare break into my place, are you tired of living?"
Before his voice could even fade, Liu Zijun had already dodged to the side, pulling the trigger simultaneously with the movement.
Two bullets fired in succession, hitting two bodyguards right between the eyebrows.
The remaining two bodyguards were instantly shocked; this man was incredibly strong.
They also pulled their triggers to provide suppressive fire.
Gunshots rang out, causing Lee Ryuk-hee and the others to scream in terror for a moment.
Lee Ryuk-hee pressed a button on his wristwatch, and instantly, the alarm system of the entire Genting Hotel blared!
Liu Zijun hid behind a sofa, while simultaneously kicking off the wall. As he slid across the floor, he fired another bullet, taking the life of yet another bodyguard!
The last remaining bodyguard gripped a military dagger and lunged forward, stabbing directly at Liu Zijun's throat.
Liu Zijun sidestepped to avoid the dagger, grabbed the opponent's wrist with his left hand, and pressed his glock against the man's chest with his right, firing without hesitation.
The bullet pierced the bodyguard's heart, and his body slumped down, the dagger hitting the floor with a 'clang.'
The entire process took no more than twenty seconds, and all four elite bodyguards were dead.
The women huddled in the corner of the sofa, while the men's faces were deathly pale; no one dared to move.
Lee Ryuk-hee's face was already filled with terror. He hadn't expected this masked man to be so formidable, and that his most relied-upon bodyguards would be so easily defeated.
Indeed, he had lived a life of ease for too long.
Lee Ryuk-hee shouted with feigned bravado, "Just who are you? I am Lee Ryuk-hee of the TJK Group! If you dare touch me, my father won't let you get away with it!"
His body involuntarily retreated, trying to get closer to the emergency elevator behind him.
Liu Zijun ignored his threats and walked forward step by step, each footfall sounding like it was stepping on Lee Ryuk-hee's heart.
His gaze swept over the other people in the room as he asked softly, "You all really wanted to see Truth being defiled, didn't you?"
Then, without a shred of mercy, he fired several shots!
As the sound of reloading rang out, only Liu Zijun and Lee Ryuk-hee were left in the room. The air was so silent that they could hear each other's breathing.
Lee Ryuk-hee backed up to the emergency passage door, frantically pressing the switch, only to find the button completely unresponsive.
He completely panicked, his legs giving way as he collapsed to his knees.
Lee Ryuk-hee wailed:
"Who are you? What do you want? Money? Power? I can give it all to you!"
"I can give you more money than you could spend in a lifetime, and more women than you could ever sleep with! Please, let me go!"
Liu Zijun stopped two meters away from Lee Ryuk-hee, his eyes behind the mask full of mockery.
"Do you think money can buy back the debts you owe?"
"Debts? I don't owe any debts!"
"I've never offended you, have you mistaken me for someone else?"
Lee Ryuk-hee tried to quibble, for he had committed far too many evil deeds.
Liu Zijun spoke slowly, "Choi Soo-myung, do you know him?"
Upon hearing the name 'Choi Soo-myung,' Lee Ryuk-hee's face was blank with confusion, clearly unable to remember.
Liu Zijun began to laugh, but the sound was incredibly tragic and cold.
If the Choi Soo-myung of this life were the Shura trained by the God of Hunting in the previous life, then Lee Ryuk-hee would have died a miserable death.
But in this life, while he was still in the peacekeeping forces of The Peninsula, he was gone!
"Heh... It seems you've forgotten. Let me remind you: Choi Sulli's brother!"
Lee Ryuk-hee thought for three seconds, and then his face instantly turned deathly pale, his body trembling violently.
He remembered.
That man who had come looking for him because of Choi Sulli, whom he had schemed to send to the peacekeeping forces in Africa, and then finally arranged a car accident to ensure his certain death.
He thought the matter had been handled flawlessly; he never expected someone would come knocking on his door.
Lee Ryuk-hee's voice carried a sob.
"That matter was my fault, I shouldn't have killed him. I beg you, give me another chance! I can compensate his family, no matter how much money it takes!"
"Compensate?"
Liu Zijun sneered.
He raised his hand, aiming the muzzle of the glock at Lee Ryuk-hee's head.
Choi Soo-myung's life, and the terror Choi Sulli endured—today, you shall pay for them with your life."
Lee Ryuk-hee was scared out of his wits and turned to flee, but Liu Zijun kicked him in the back, sending him sprawling to the ground.
As he struggled to get up, Liu Zijun stepped forward and pinned him down with a foot on his back, rendering him unable to move.
"Spare me... I was wrong, I was really wrong!"
Lee Ryuk-hee wailed, tears and snot mixing together in a pathetic mess, devoid of any of his former arrogance as a chaebol heir.
Liu Zijun felt no mercy. He thought of Choi Soo-myung's back as he shielded him in their previous life, thought of Choi Sulli's smiling face, and thought of those threats Im Yoona had relayed. His finger slowly pulled the trigger.
With a muffled "thud," the bullet pierced Lee Ryuk-hee's back and hit his heart.
Lee Ryuk-hee's body stiffened abruptly, his cries stopped instantly, and after his limbs twitched a few times, he was motionless.
After confirming Lee Ryuk-hee was dead, Liu Zijun released his foot, took out the God of Hunting coin from his pocket, and with a flick, it landed beside Lee Ryuk-hee's corpse.
The falcon on the brass coin shimmered under the lights, declaring to the KJT Group that this was the judgment of the God of Hunting.
He did not linger, turning to walk toward the door.
Just as he reached the door, he saw other security personnel rushing toward him.
Sirens could also be heard from a distance below; clearly, someone had called the police.
And the police were nothing more than the lapdogs of these chaebols! They certainly arrived quickly!
Liu Zijun did not panic, firing repeatedly and taking lives one by one, scaring the remaining security personnel into hiding.
He followed his planned route, fighting his way down the fire escape.
He had completely transformed into a machine of slaughter.
This was the 'Gu' who made the underworld tremble.
This scene was truly minor; compared to the people from the Faith Organization, these security personnel...
No!
There was simply no need to compare them at all.
By the time he fought his way to the first floor, Liu Zijun's clothes were significantly stained with blood.
He ran head-on into several arriving police officers. Seeing Liu Zijun's mask and the gun in his hand, they immediately shouted, "Drop your weapon! Don't move!"
Liu Zijun ignored them, his figure flashing as he bypassed the police and ran toward the fire door.
The police opened fire, and one of the bullets hit his suit, but it failed to penetrate the bulletproof lining.
Liu Zijun frowned and looked back, firing two shots at the shins of these officers. Two fell to the ground wailing, while the other two were instantly too terrified to fire recklessly, hiding behind cover to return fire.
These police officers were even worse than Lee Ryuk-hee's security, but considering his own true identity, he didn't deal them a lethal blow.
The few officers could only watch helplessly as Liu Zijun pushed open the fire door and vanished into the night.
They were the nearest police, but when had they ever seen such a fierce armed criminal?
By the time SWAT and other professionals arrived, Liu Zijun had long since disappeared.
Leaving the bar, Liu Zijun got into a black sedan parked in the shadows, started the engine, and headed toward the location of Jiang Hongshao's assistant.
Hearing the sirens echoing through the night sky and watching the scenery outside the window fly past, he took off the silver mask, revealing his sharp-featured face. His gaze remained cold, but the murderous aura between his brows dissipated slightly.
At this moment, Liu Zijun's heart was at peace.
From the moment he made his move, he probably wouldn't be able to stay on The Peninsula for much longer.
Jiang Hongshao's assistant, Yang Hyeri, set fire to the black sedan. Seeing Liu Zijun emerge already cleaned up, she bowed and said, "BOSS! The car is ready!"
Liu Zijun nodded to her and said, "Good work!"
A look of pleasant surprise instantly appeared on the female assistant's face. Gu could actually kill, and he had even revealed his true face to her.
She immediately replied excitedly, "It's no trouble! You even handled such a small scene personally; you could have actually left it to me!"
Liu Zijun chuckled and said, "Fine! Go and take care of Wu Xiuna from SM Entertainment for me! Doesn't she love being a madam? Send her to Africa and let her enjoy herself properly before she dies!"
"By the way! Emily will send the chain of evidence for the dirty things she and Lee Ryuk-hee colluded on to Shadow."
Yang Hyeri was instantly overjoyed; coming to The Peninsula with Jiang Hongshao was the right move!
